In the garage, Jax led her to where his blue Land Rover Defender was parked, still holding tightly to her hand like any absence of contact now was unbearable.
Guiding her to the passenger side, Jax stopped before reaching the door and tucked her tight against his side, wrapping one arm around her waist.
Bringing his mouth down to hers, he kissed her hard and deep before pulling back and opening her door.Dazed, she slid into the passenger seat, and he closed the door before rounding the back and getting into the driver’s side.
She fastened her seat belt as he started the SUV.Backing out of the spot, he directed the car out of the garage and onto the city streets.Leaning back, she rested against the headrest and gazed at him.He looked relaxed as he drove, one hand on the wheel, the other on the gearshift on the center console.She allowed herself the luxury of observing him as he was—utterly confident in his skin.
He glanced at her once, catching her watching him, but she didn’t care.Eavie just smiled at him, unabashed at being caught staring.He was just so fucking handsome.He smiled back before moving the hand resting on the gearshift to her thigh.The muscle of her leg flexed, and he squeezed.Reaching down, she covered his hand with hers, keeping him there, before gazing out the window.
She couldn’t believe she had just had sex with him in her office—on her desk.That was probably the craziest thing she had ever done.Still, she didn’t regret a single second of it.
And maybe they just might be able to keep whatever happened between them quiet.
Of course, they couldn’t repeat what they had just done.It was too much of a risk that someone would catch them, but they could continue exploring their chemistry outside of the office, preferably in his bedroom or hers.
Too soon, he pulled up in front of her condo.Looking up at her building, Eavie undid her seat belt before turning to him.Jax, too, had turned his body toward her, forearm resting on the steering wheel.They looked at each other for a moment before he leaned forward.She matched the movement, meeting him halfway as their lips connected.The electricity between them hadn’t dissipated, and Eavie found her body begging for him again.
There was no way she could walk away right now, not when she’d finally discovered what it was like to be with him.
Pulling back, she placed one hand on his thigh.“Would you like to come in?”she asked, her voice low and seductive.
Jax’s smile was slow, spreading across his face until he was grinning triumphantly at her.He nodded before leaning in again for a quick kiss.
“The garage is just around the side of the building,” Eavie said, pointing toward an alley just ahead.“There’s visitors parking there.”
Jax didn’t need any more of an invitation.He immediately pulled the SUV into the garage and parked.Getting out, he came around to her side and opened the door.Reaching for his hand, Eavie led him toward the elevators and up to her apartment.
Chapter Thirty
Jax
Jax woke up to the sun streaming into the soft blue and cream-colored room.It took him a moment to remember where he was, but the warm body draped across his chest brought the previous night flooding back to his sleep-clouded brain.
Nestled into him, Eavie’s head rested on his chest as she slept, one long leg draped across both of his.Lightly, he trailed his fingers up Eavie’s spine, exposed to him as she lay across his chest.Tucked into his side, utterly beautiful, naked and pressed against him, Jax luxuriated in the privilege of touching her like this.He gazed down at her sleeping form and thought she was utter perfection.
Her face, now free of makeup, was relaxed as she slept, her lashes fanning her high cheekbones.Her lush mouth sat open in a small O, and her even breaths fanned through the dark hair on his chest.Her soft tresses spilled across his shoulder and down her back, the ends tickling his fingers as he brushed them across her skin.He’d seen her in various clothes, had felt the body beneath, but it had not prepared him for the sight of her completely naked.Her long, lean body was a perfect combination of toned muscle and soft curves.
He’d finally managed to get his first complete look at her moments after they’d stumbled through the door, coming together in a fresh wave of need that swept so fiercely through him that Jax had thought he needed to be inside her, or he might explode.Their hands desperately grasped for each other as they danced backward into her living room.He’d torn off her clothes as Eavie had divested him of his.They made it no further than her couch before he slid inside her again.This time, Eavie straddled his hips and rode him until she convulsed intensely around his cock, and he buried himself deep as he spilled into her.Seeing her completely naked for the first time with her straddling his lap was an image that would forever be burned into his mind.
Not long after, he’d picked her up, her legs wrapping around his waist, and carried her into the bedroom, where they went at it again, slower, with less urgency and more exploration.They took their time discovering each other until finally, Jax slid into her with a slow, torturous rhythm that took her over the edge three more times before he finally gave in to his own climax.
Remembering the rough and wild rounds from the previous night had Jax’s blood flowing again, his cock thickening beneath her body.He smiled up at the ceiling.Thank god it was Saturday and they both had the weekend off.He could think of worse ways to spend his time than buried between her legs.
Glancing at the clock on her bedside table, Jax decided four hours of sleep was plenty of rest to have replenished her.
Tilting his head down, he brushed his lips against her hair as his fingers explored her back more urgently.Gripping the generous globes of her fantastic ass in his hand, he squeezed, luxuriating in the feel of her soft, bare skin beneath his callouses.
Eavie stirred, her back arching into his touch as her eyelashes fluttered against his chest.He skimmed his other hand along her cheek before he gripped her jaw between his thumb and finger and angled her head toward him.He lowered his mouth to hers, probing with his tongue until she parted her lips for him to enter.
She moaned, the sound sleepy and deep, laced with contented satisfaction.The noise was like an arrow to his gut, and his blood turned to fire in his veins.Her eyes had barely opened before he rolled her onto her back, blanketing her body with his.His lips devoured her as her eyes fluttered closed again, and he felt her awakening as her hands began to grip his shoulders with more urgency.Her nails raked down his back, the sharp points biting into his skin, making him hiss.
Slowly, Jax moved his lips, gently kissing her across her jaw and down her neck, taking his time tasting her sweet skin.He lightly nipped at the spot where it met her collarbone and felt her response in the arching of her back.
Sliding one hand down her ribs to caress and squeeze her hip, he continued tracing his lips over every inch of her body, discovering, as he’d imagined doing, all the sensitive spots and the noises they pulled from her pillowy lips.
When he reached the top of her hip, he lapped his tongue across the bone—where he discovered she had an intricate little birthmark in the shape of a star—eliciting an adorable mewling sound from her.Smiling against her skin, he continued his downward journey, heading toward the apex of her thighs.He kissed and licked and nipped at the smooth skin of her pubic bone before he slid down and parted her legs, using his broad shoulders to open her to him.
“Jax,” Eavie breathed above him.
