Chapter Twenty-Six
Nothing in Nichole’s life compared to having Jack’s arms wrapped around her.They needed to talk, but later.Right now, what she needed, what she wanted was their bodies pressed against each other skin to skin, and his mouth on her.
As if he understood—or maybe he needed what she did—he scooped her up.“Your arm,” she said.
“Is fine.”He carried her to his bedroom, laid her on the mattress, and then stared down at her.“Tell me I’m not dreaming, Nichole.”
“It’s not a dream.”She smiled at him.“I’m here, right where I want to be.”
“And my bed never looked so good.”He sat on the edge of the mattress.“I thought I’d lost you.”
She reached for his hand, linking their fingers.“You haven’t, and we do need to talk, but later.”
“Yeah, later.”He brought her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers.“Fair warning, babe.I’m going to lick you from head to toe.I’m going to ruin you for any man but me.”
“You already have,” she whispered.His eyes darkened as they roamed over her, sending heat straight to her center.“But maybe you should ruin me again.”
“I think I will.”He glanced at her and winked.“Just for insurance purposes.Change of plans, though.I think I’ll start with your toes and work my way up.”He slid his hand down her leg, leaving goose bumps in his wake.When he reached her feet, he slid one sandal off, and then the other one.They got tossed to the floor.
He toed off his shoes, and then kneeled on the bed between her ankles.His gaze was smoldering as he coasted his hands up her legs.When he reached the hem of her sundress, he pushed it up to her waist.
“Heaven help me.”He blew out a breath at seeing she wasn’t wearing panties.
“Surprise,” she said, giggling.
“Feel free to surprise me like this anytime the urge strikes you.”
“Are you going to just sit there and stare at me, or are you going to do something that will put a smile on my face?”
His gaze met hers, and he gave her a sexy smirk.“Forget a smile.I’m going for hearing you scream my name.”
“Hmm, we’ll see.Take off your shirt.”
“Yes, ma’am.”He tugged it up and over his head, tossing it behind him.“Now hush and pay attention.”
She saluted him, making him laugh.She’d noticed before that not only was he an amazing lover, but that he also made sex fun.That was new and different, and she liked it.A lot.In her experience, most men thought sex was serious business.It certainly was, but Jack also made it fun.
When he stretched out, and his mouth landed on her, and he flicked his tongue over her clit, she moaned her approval.Over and over, he brought her to the edge, then backed off.
“Jack,” she said, begging.
“What, Nichole?This?”
“Oh, God.Yes, that,” she said when his tongue teased just the right spot.“Jack!”She fisted the sheet as she shattered.
He crawled up her body as she tried to catch her breath.“Told you I’d have you screaming my name.”
“Pretty sure of yourself, aren’t you?”She laughed.“That’s a smug smile if I’ve ever seen one.”
His smile dropped as he stared down at her.“Have I told you how much I love watching your face when you come for me?”
“No.”
“Well, I do, and I want to see it again.”He moved to the edge of the bed, stood, and then dropped his jeans to the floor.With his gaze locked on hers, he pushed his briefs down.
The man stole her breath.She knew he ran every day for something like ten miles, and that he also worked out.She supposed that as a SEAL he was required to stay in top shape.It showed.Oh, boy, did it ever.
As her gaze traveled over him, he gave her that sexy smirk again.“Like what you see?”
