Page 77 of Unraveled Love

Shawn groaned as he got settled, draping his arms on the back of the hot tub. His head fell back, eyes closed, blond hair flopping backward. “We should have been sitting in this damn thing every night. Feels so good.”

I imagined his body carried as much stress as mine did, and I couldn’t blame him.

“Can you hand me a water?”

“Sure.” I reached in front of me and held it out for him. He took it, without touching any part of me, no playful brushes of his fingers, no teasing smirk or leaning in to kiss my head. I understood. He had to focus, but I still could have used it. It always comforted me.

We sat there, naked, drinking water in the dark by the light of the sky and the stars, and we didn’t say much, but I felt everything. The brush of his thigh against mine, the scrape of his hair against my softer skin, and soon, I leaned back and closed my eyes too. My head rested against his hand, and he turned his palm so he held me. His fingers began massaging the back of my head.

“Oh God, that feels like heaven.”

“Yeah?”

I would have nodded but didn’t want to dislodge his touch, so instead I allowed the moan I was holding back to speak for itself.

“Every time you touch me it does.”

“Good. I like the way you react when I touch you.” His breath was at the column of my throat, lips cool from the water against my heated flesh, and as I leaned in to feel his lips against me, his hand fisted in my hair, holding me in place.

The quick sting of pain shot straight through me, turning me on. Dear God, the way this man played me was insane.

So damn hot. He treated me like a woman who knew who she was, could handle anything he gave me, and I loved that, mostly because he treated me like the woman I wanted to be, not the woman I was still becoming. Shawn always seemed to know more than I fully understand about myself.

And what a massive turn-on it was.

“Shawn.” I gasped his name as he teased me, those lips of his quickly heating but still just barely a whisper against my skin. “More.”

“More what?”

“Of you. Kiss me, please.”

“I don’t want to,” he whispered, “not yet. First, I want to play.”

A delightful shiver danced down my spine. Shawn played thebestgames.

As he spoke, he shifted and turned to me. He caged me into my seat with his body, and one finger slid straight to the juncture of my thighs.

“Oh.” I gasped at the soft sensation there, right as he slid that finger deep inside me, curled it, and hooked it.

My head fell back and I groaned.

“See? You like it when I play.” My eyes flickered, closing and opening. Goddamn. He could play me any time he wanted to as long as he touched me so perfectly like this.

His thumb pressed to my clit as his finger slid in and out of me, making my hips arch. As I did, his hand at the back of my head slid to my shoulder and pressed down. “Spread those legs a bit further and stay still, honey.”

“Oh God.” My eyes closed and my head dropped to the lip of the hot tub. The words he said made my body react as intensely as the way he played my body. “Shawn.” My hand reached out and clung to his arm to brace myself.

When he got bossy like this, I couldn’t think straight, and I knew the threat he didn’t say. If I moved, he’d stop.

There was no way I would let that happen. I opened my mouth to let out another sound, probably something loud that would echo through the fifty acres of land Jaxon owned, then Shawn slammed his mouth to me.

He kissed me and added another finger, driving me crazy with need until I was swollen, so close to my climax despite the drying effects of the water. He held me still with his fingers inside me and the weight of his other hand at my shoulder until I was biting his lip to keep from crying out.

“Not yet,” he whispered, nipping me back. “I want more time to play.”

Before I could demand he finish me off, he slid his fingers out of me, grabbed my hips, and, with the help of the water, moved back and turned me around. Right as he did, a powerful jet blew air and water and the perfect vibrating beat right at my sex.

“Oh shit.” I clung to the edge of the tub.
