Page 16 of Tangled in His Embrace

On the way to her bedroom, he stubbed his toe on the doorjamb and had to stifle a groan. While it hurt, it didn’t take long for the pain to take a back seat to the feel of Gabby against him. The weight of her breasts rubbing against his chest was extremely distracting.

As soon as he made it through her bedroom door, he headed for the bed. He was a little less than graceful as he lowered them onto the mattress, but she didn’t seem to care any more than he did. With her newfound leverage, Gabby began rocking her hips against him, driving him mad.

He reached behind him, untangled her legs from around his waist, and immediately went to work on removing her jeans. It took him longer than it should have. Maybe it was because he was out of practice, or maybe because he was enjoying their kiss too much to divert his attention. He wanted his hands, his mouth, to be everywhere at once. It was always that way with her.

When he finally freed the button on her jeans, he lowered the zipper and she lifted her hips. He ripped his mouth away from hers long enough to remove her pants and throw them over his shoulder. Seconds later, he fell on top of her again, letting her feel his weight. He remembered she’d shared with him once how much she loved the weight of him pressing her into the mattress, and by her reaction that hadn’t changed.

She snaked her hands between them and began unbuttoning his jeans. When her fingers brushed against his cock he sucked in a breath, trying to steady himself. He wasn’t even sure she’d meant to do it, but his body didn’t care.

As soon as he felt the zipper release, Jax pushed his jeans down his legs before kicking them the rest of the way off. She wasted no time circling her legs around him again and drawing their lower halves together. The feel of her against him, only two thin layers of fabric between them, was close to torture. He wanted to be inside her, but he also wanted to feel every inch of her first. It was a perplexing dilemma.

He felt her fingers dancing along the hem of his sweater and knew she wanted it off. Grabbing hold of the bottom of his sweater, he worked it up his torso and over his head, releasing her lips only long enough for the offending material to be removed.

Gabby flattened her palms over his chest and let her fingers explore. Everywhere she touched sent fire to his groin. He needed to touch her in the same way.

It took a little more maneuvering to remove her sweater and bra, but he managed with a little help from her. As if drawn to them like magnets, he cupped her breasts in both his hands, massaging them. He loved her breasts—not all that surprising since he was a guy, but it was so much more than that. He loved the way she arched her back as if begging him for more. And he loved the little sounds she made at the back of her throat when he ran his thumbs over her nipples.

His cock was so hard in that moment that it was almost painful, but he wasn’t ready to give in to his desire to be inside her quite yet. Releasing her lips, he lowered his mouth to cover her nipple. She threaded her fingers through his hair, holding him to her while he licked and sucked to his heart’s content.

As he continued his assault on her breasts, her grinding against his cock increased. He released her nipple and rested his forehead against her chest as he tried to catch his breath. “You’re going to kill me.”

“Then get the rest of these clothes off us and fuck me already.”

Jax laughed. He couldn’t help himself. “Yes, ma’am.”

Abandoning her breasts for the time being, he rocked back on his heels, took hold of her panties, and stripped them down her legs. Once she was completely naked, he wasted no time standing and removing his underwear as well. He fished a condom out of his jeans before climbing back onto the bed on top of her.

Gabby lay spread out before him, legs spread, waiting. He wanted to take the time to enjoy the view, but she wasn’t having any part of it. She sat up, snatched the condom out of his hand, and ripped it open.

With the skill of someone who’d done it hundreds of times, she rolled the condom over his erection. He gritted his teeth trying not to explode solely from her touch.

She lay back and admired her work for a moment before hooking her leg around him again and urging him on top of her. He braced himself with one arm and used the other to guide himself to his goal.

Her soft warmth welcomed him as he eased into her pussy. Gabby opened her legs more, inviting him in and there was no way he was going to refuse. He thrust his hips, pushing his cock the rest of the way into her. It was a feeling he would never get used to and craved more than his next breath.

His lips found hers again as he began to move. Their flesh pushed and pulled as they moved against each other seeking pleasure and so much more. If nothing else, their bodies still knew the rhythm they’d perfected over the countless hours they’d spent exploring and loving each other.

She scraped her nails along his back and he gasped, almost losing his focus as the pain mixed with the pleasure coursing through him. He nibbled on her neck, knowing how much she loved it, and was rewarded with the feel of her digging her fingers into his shoulders. She was getting close and so was he.

Jax shifted his weight so he could get his hand between them and found her clit. She bucked against his hand. “Yes!”

“That’s it, baby. Let go. Come for me.”

He felt her inner muscles flex around him, driving him closer to his own climax.

Gabby’s chest rose and fell more rapidly as she climbed higher and higher toward her goal. He held on to her just as tight, needing to have her close while he was given the chance. Jax knew that once they both came down from this high the tables would be turned and not in his favor. This wasn’t how he’d wanted to start the night but had been powerless to stop it.

Several minutes passed as he increased the pressure on her clit in time with his thrusts before she tensed. A low whine passed her lips as she came apart in his arms. He captured her lips again with his own and let go. It didn’t take long before he was following her over the edge.

Jax lay there on top of her, blood pumping through his veins, trying to catch his breath. He knew the moment the euphoria of her orgasm began to fade. Gabby removed her hands from his shoulders, holding them as if she didn’t know quite where to put them. She cleared her throat. “I need to use the bathroom.”

While he doubted that was actually the case, he rolled off her, freeing her to get up.

She scurried out of the bed and took off for the bathroom without looking back.

Sighing, Jax sat up on the bed and ran his fingers through his hair. He had no idea what he was going to do now. The point of tonight had been for them to talk—nothing more. He’d hoped it would be the first step to rebuilding trust. Somehow, he doubted what they’d just done would do anything to help facilitate that end goal.

He removed the condom and went to put it in the trash, then began gathering his clothes. By the time he’d finished dressing, Gabby still wasn’t out of the bathroom.

Figuring he’d give her some time, he walked into the kitchen. The Chinese food he’d brought was still sitting out on the counter. He had no idea if she’d want to eat, but he was starving. Taking a plate, he loaded it up and popped it into the microwave.

He was sitting down at the table with his food when Gabby emerged from the hallway. Her eyes were red and a little puffy. She’d been crying.

All thought of being hungry left him. “Are you all right?”

She hugged herself as she met his gaze. “No.”
