Page 45 of Protecting Jess

“Okay, but it will be on your timeline. I won’t pressure you to tell them.”

“I know you won’t.” She pushed to her toes and brushed her lips against his.

As always, the second their mouths touched, light kisses became heated. By the time they broke apart, they were both breathing heavily.

“You should go before I drag you back to the bedroom,” she teased.

“No complaints from me, but I really do need to go.”

Jess forced herself to take some steps back so there was distance between them. “You do. And Kaley will be here soon. We’re going for a coffee before she heads back to New York.”

“Are you going to quiz her about what’s going on with her and Oak?” Finn asked, as he picked up his backpack and slung it over his shoulder.

Dressed in his work fatigues, he looked handsome and sexy. Not as delicious as he looked in his dress whites, but she was finding it hard to keep her hands off him.

“Maybe. I’ll see what sort of mood she’s in when she gets here and take it from there. I’m pretty sure she’s going to quiz me about what’s going on with the two of us.”

He laughed. “What are you going to tell her?”

“That you’re into exhibitionism, and we had wild monkey sex on the balcony, where everyone could see us.”

His eyes widened. “What?”

This time it was she who laughed loudly. “Your face is priceless.” Jess sauntered over, putting a little extra sway in her gait. “Don’t worry. I’ll be keeping our sex life to myself.”

“I mean, if you want to tell her that, I’ll be okay with it. Although...” Finn tapped his finger on his lip, drawing her attention to it and the need to bite the plump flesh almost overwhelmed her. “She may say something to Oak, and it will get around base. I mean, I guess I wouldn’t mind that reputation.”

Jess shook her head and gave him a little shove. “Go, you big goof. The quicker you go, the quicker you’ll be back, and maybe we’ll have time to give that balcony sex a whirl before we have to catch our plane.”

Finn growled, a sound she never would’ve expected, and she didn’t have time to prepare herself before she was hauled against his chest and slammed his mouth on hers.

Jess wound her arms around his neck and sank against him. This kiss was hot and demanding and she was there for every second of it.

His hard length pressed against her, and she ground herself against it, wishing there weren’t so many layers of clothing between them.

“God, Jess.” Finn wrenched his mouth away from hers. “You drive me insane with this need to be inside you.”

“Believe me, the feeling is mutual.”

“As much as I know your parents would want you to stay with them, there’s no way I’m going to be able to walk away from you every night and leave you there.”

A shudder rippled through her at the intensity of his words. “I feel the same.”

This time it was Finn who stepped away. “I need to go. I’ll be back soon.” A look of indecision crossed his face, as though he couldn’t decide if he wanted to stay or leave. Kiss her or not kiss her.

“Bye, Hive,” she said.

A wide smile broke out over Finn’s handsome face, lighting his eyes and sending darts of pleasure zinging along her skin. “Bye, popsicle.” He gave her a chin lift. Then he was striding toward the door of their suite, his back view as yummy as his front view.

“Stop checking out my ass,” he called out as he pulled the door open.

Jess smirked. “No can do. It’s a fine specimen and should be admired.”

His laughter filled the room even after the door clicked shut.

She wrapped her arms around her belly, holding her feelings close.

How had her life changed so much in such a short time?
