‘Jake,’ I broke in. ‘I don’t want to go anywhere right now. If you don’t want me to?’ I looked behind him. ‘Is your bed comfy?’

Jake grinned and moved suddenly. I squealed as he scooped me up by the waist, carrying me in his arms and laying me gently down onto his bed. And God, it was comfy. I sunk into it like I had melted into a cloud.

He climbed onto the bed and leaned over me. ‘I have thought about you on my bed, I have to admit. And you look really good on it.’

‘Is that why you look tired?’ I teased him.

Jake reached for my hair and pulled it together over my shoulder in his hand. ‘Yes,’ he replied easily, no hesitation. ‘I’ve been wondering how I can repair things between us since we got back from New York. When we had that meeting with Hayley, I hated thinking that you felt like you needed to change yourself even one little bit.’

I smiled. ‘Your pep talk helped me. You were right. I don’t want to be anything like how Hayley is as an agent. How mad was she when you turned down the deal she got you?’

‘Very,’ Jake said. ‘But do you want to talk about that now, or later?’

‘Later,’ I said quickly, earning me one of his smouldering smiles.

Jake gave my hair a little tug, pulling my lips closer to his. I smiled, liking his bedroom moves. ‘Now I’ve got you on my bed, what shall I do with you?’ he asked, his tone gruff, his eyes darkening as they looked into mine.

‘Anything you like,’ I purred back to Jake’s question, thinking about how horny I had been since New York. I wriggled on his bed. ‘I want you to touch me like you did in the hotel.’ Jake made me bolder in the bedroom than I ever thought I could be.

‘I think I might have less control than I did in New York; I’ve missed you so much. I want to drive you as crazy as I know you’ll drive me,’ he replied, brushing his lips against mine. He tugged me again and kissed me harder, parting my lips with his tongue. The kiss turned hungry and I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him down on top of me.

‘You do drive me crazy,’ I whispered as he pulled the strap of my dress down and kissed my bare shoulder. He pulled it further down and kissed the base of my neck, his hand brushing over my chest. He was moving so slowly, my frustrated body protested under my clothes. I sighed. ‘Just take my clothes off,’ I begged him then. Jake lifted up his head, his eyes finding mine. I felt myself blush. ‘Oops, I just…’

‘Don’t ever apologise for wanting me to get you naked. I was trying to be restrained when all I want to do is rip them off, quite frankly,’ he said with a mischievous grin. ‘Sit up,’ he added huskily.

‘I like it when you tell me what to do,’ I admitted then. I sat up and he told me to lift my arms, which I did. He pulled my dress off easily in one move. ‘In the bedroom,’ I amended, because that was the only place I would allow it.

Jake winked at me. ‘Noted, Freya. And it’s the only place I’d want to tell you what to do…’

This man was swoony. There was no other word for it.

He climbed off the bed. ‘Come here, baby, please,’ he said to me. I scooted off the bed and stood up in my underwear. ‘Undress me,’ he begged.

I smiled and reached for his t-shirt, pulling it off him as eagerly as he had taken off my dress. I then grabbed his jeans and unbuttoned them, enjoying feeling how turned on he was already. He slipped out of them and then pulled me towards him, kissing me with the same desperation I felt. I curved against him, both of us in our underwear, pulling each other closer, making it clear how much we had missed touching one another. Jake reached for my bra and undid it, tossing it onto the floor, then he pulled down my underwear and I did the same to his. Once we were naked, we looked at one other with smiles on our faces.

‘Missed this,’ Jake said, reaching down to drop kisses down my chest onto my breasts, pulling a nipple into his mouth, teasing it to harden.

‘Me too,’ I gasped, holding on to his waist to keep steady. My knees already felt in danger of trembling at his touch.

Jake trailed kisses down my body again all the way to my stomach and then he knelt on the floor. He gave me a gentle push and I sat down on the edge of the bed. Jake murmured in approval and parted my legs with his hands so he could keep on kissing. I hooked one leg over his shoulder as his tongue found me, and I gasped at the contact. Jake was hungry for me and I cried out in pleasure as he tasted me, reaching out to grip his hair like he had gripped mine.

‘Don’t stop,’ I cried as he slid a finger inside me too. Pleasure built suddenly as my desperation for his touch was rewarded with satisfaction. ‘Yes, Jake,’ I said as I shuddered on the bed, heat flooding through my body. ‘Wow,’ I breathed, shaking my head with a giggle as Jake stood up.

‘Did you like that, baby?’ he asked. I nodded furiously, breathing hard and fast as my body continued to throb with pleasure. ‘Want more?’

‘Yes,’ I said eagerly.

‘Scoot closer,’ Jake said as he reached for his bedside table and pulled out a condom. He put it on as I moved right to the edge of the bed and he reached out and wrapped my legs around him, sliding inside me. I gasped as he filled me up. ‘You feel amazing,’ Jake said as our eyes locked together. I loved how we connected during sex. Jake never seemed to be anywhere else but right in this moment with me, and I felt the same. He rocked into me, and I felt it in every part of my body. ‘Please tell me this is just as incredible for you as it is for me,’ he said then.

‘I never thought sex could be like this,’ I replied with a moan.

He grinned. ‘I need to kiss you.’ He pulled out of me and told me to move back up the bed. I sank into his amazing pillows and Jake leaned over, brushing my hair through his fingertips. Smiling, he reached down to give me a passionate kiss. I held on to him as he slid inside me again, his lips not leaving mine. Our tongues danced as our bodies clung to each other. We gasped breathlessly as heat continued to build, our skin starting to glisten as we moved together, faster and harder.

Jake’s lips left mine and he looked down at me. ‘You’re my girl, aren’t you?’

‘I’m yours,’ I confirmed as I cried out with pleasure, amazed that he could make me come all over again so quickly.
