“I love your mouth,” she said, then she licked her lips, because she knew how much he loved seeing her do it.
“You’ve gotta stop doing that,” he said.
“Okay,” she lied, and licked her lips again.
“This is dangerous,” he said with a coy smile.
“I know. Just for a minute. We won’t do much.” She ran her hands down the front of his jeans.
“That’s much,” he said, and nuzzled against her neck. “Mm, and I like it, but I didn’t come here for this.”
His hands were on the move, but it was the hard press of his body, and that talented mouth of his, loving her neck, that had her knees growing weak.
“You tell me that so often that I’m starting to get a complex,” she said breathily.
“Maybe you just wantmefor sex,” he said with a grin.
They slid down against the barn. Jade lay on the grass, her arms locked around Rex’s neck.
“I feel like I’m in tenth grade,” he said.
“Good, then do what you might have done with me in tenth grade.” Her father could come outside at any minute, and it only made what they were doing more exciting.
She wiggled out of her shorts and tugged at his jeans.
“Jade, this is hardly not doing much,” he said as he pulled them off.
“I can’t help it. I’ve gone thirty-one years without you. I don’t want to waste a second of our time together. Besides, just look at you.”
When Rex came down over her, the illusion of driving away from him and living someplace else disappeared completely. This was the man she wanted to be with. This was the man she loved.
They heard the house door open, then close. Rex froze.
“Hurry,” she whispered.
“Hurry? What if that’s your father? We’re in a compromising position here.”
“Just do it,” she said with a smile, then licked his lower lip.
“I’ve said it before, Jade Johnson, and I’ll say it again. You’re killing me.”
She giggled and he shushed her with a kiss, then he loved her thoroughly. After they dressed, she said, “Whoever opened that door didn’t come down to the barn. We’re fine,” she said.
“You just might be too much woman for me.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked.
He put his hands on her hips and kissed her deeply. “How can I keep up with you?”
“You came to me, remember?” she teased.
He took her face between his hands. “I love you, Jade Johnson. I really, truly love you.”
He loves me. Loves me!Jade’s heart swelled as he kissed her again, leaving her breathless—from his words as much as the kiss.
“I’m not a guy who goes around disrespecting other men. I’d never have done this, here where we have to hide,” he said, his eyes dancing over hers.
“You just did.”
