Fuck, that felt good.
Jace’s head kicked back and he snarled. His breathing was labored, rough, as he panted hard. As a child, he’d learned to endure torture without breaking, but that had been nothing compared to this. Heaven and Hell collided as her mouth teased down his tightly clenched abdominals with wet kisses and her fingers stroked him, driving him to the brink.
A tug at his waist as the button of his pants was freed. With the slide of a zipper, and a quick yank, his pants were down and his erection sprang free. There was a moment of intense relief at no longer being constrained and then he looked down at Paige and sucked in a hard breath. She was kneeling before him, her eyes eating up the sight of his turgid length. Her fingers stroked over the head almost delicately, as if she were afraid she would hurt him.
Her eyes lifted, met his, and the heat and desire in that gaze nearly made his knees buckle. Just seeing her like that almost had him coming and it took teeth gritted will to hold it back. When she gripped the base of his shaft and the warm, wet suction of her mouth enveloped him, Jace let out a shout as he collapsed back against the door.
His eyes nearly rolled back in his head at the intense pleasure. He was growling with every breath, snarling as she worked her tongue and lips over his length, and while he didn’t remember moving his hands, his fingers were kneading against her scalp.
He wouldn’t last. He couldn’t, and though he tried to pull his hips back, Paige refused to release him. With one hand she gripped the base of his cock, holding him firmly in place while the other grabbed his ass and squeezed.
Lightning shot down his spine as his body stiffened, strained, and then he was coming in a rush, his body arcing over her as he let out a strangled cry of pleasure.
His limbs felt weak, his knees no longer able to support his weight, and he sank to the floor, careful not to crush Paige beneath him.
Lying prone with Paige snuggled up beside him, it took him a moment to regain his breath so that he could speak. All the while, Paige pet him and stroked his chest with a pleased little smile on her face, seeming quite happy with what she’d done.
He could smell her arousal, stronger now, and the scent drove him wild.
Bracing his weight on his arms, he loomed over her. “My turn,” he growled.
With a sexy snarl, Jace latched his mouth onto her nipple, sucking as she arched under him, needing to feel his weight and the press of his heated skin against hers. She pulled at him with her fingers and writhed beneath him with need as her core throbbed. She was so close…
Loud purring filled the room and the vibration paired with the hot suction of his mouth drove her over the edge. A harsh cry was torn from her throat as an orgasm rocked through her. Her back bowed off the carpet as her sex pulsed exquisitely with the release.
“We’re not done yet,” Jace told her as his mouth moved from her breasts down her belly, licking and suckling as he went.
When he reached the waistband of her borrowed scrubs, his finger touched the little string-tie bow. He looked up at her with eyes so hot they should have scorched. “I like this,” he growled. A quick tug and the waist loosened and Paige eagerly lifted her backside so he could pull them down.
A rush of cooler air hit her heated flesh and Jace settled between her thighs, the breadth of his shoulders keeping them spread wide. His fingertips slid down the sensitive length of her inner thigh in a near-ticklish caress as he drew out the moment, skating closer and closer but denying her the pressure she longed for. His face hovering over her mound, he inhaled deeply while Paige held her breath.Please…
She heard a loud, gruff purring, felt the heat of his breath on her aroused flesh and her fingers opened and closed convulsively over the back of his head as she tried to pull him to her where she needed him most.
Her breath left her in a rush at the first flick of his tongue, and when he sealed his mouth over that swollen bundle of nerves, she nearly screamed with pleasure. As her fingers gripped his head, holding him, her legs lifted, her heels finding purchase somewhere on his back so she could lever her hips up.
His purrs, growls, and snarls mingled with her cries and gasps as he brought her to orgasm again and again.
When he finally climbed over her, Paige was so limp with satisfaction she didn’t think she could move, but somehow, she managed to wrap her arms around him and hold him close as the thick length of his erection slid inside her welcoming body.
“I love you,” she whispered against his ear.
Another purr as he turned his face into her neck and nipped her gently with his fangs. “I love you too, Paige. So much.”
Chapter Twenty-One
Cuddledtogetherinbed,Jace had just stifled a yawn when Paige announced. “I got a job.”
“What?” Had she left the base while he was away? Knowing the General, if she had, the man would have sent a team with her. More likely though was that she’d done an internet search. Trepidation clenched his stomach. Had she looked for something here or elsewhere? They hadn’t discussed the future… Clearing his throat, he tried to keep his voice even when he asked, “Where?”
“Here. At the infirmary.”
Oh, sweet relief. She was staying. If she had left, he would have followed. There was no doubt in his mind about that. But here, he could keep her safe from people like Doctor Dietrich who had politicians in her pockets and could pull strings like a puppet master. Just because they had the doctor in custody did not mean Paige was off the radar. She wouldn’t be until Jace eliminated every last one of them.
“I can’t believe how short-handed they were,” she was telling him. Levering herself up on her elbow, she added, “The General seemed skeptical at first but he came around when I pointed out that his two-person medical team would be zero if he let them drop from exhaustion.”
Jace frowned. “Two people? When did that happen?”
Granted, he didn’t pay much attention to what went on at the infirmary considering his ability to heal, but he could have sworn there were more than two people that worked there.
