Her eyes soften, and she leans in, her lips a breath away. “You’ll never have to find out.”
The kiss starts slow and tentative but quickly builds in urgency. our bodies press closer, desire simmering between us.
When we finally break apart, breathless, she rests her forehead against mine. “Jack…we shouldn’t. Not with your shoulder.”
I groan in frustration, knowing she’s right but hating it all the same. “You’re killing me here, Elyse.”
She laughs softly, trailing a finger along my jawline. “I promise, as soon as you’re feeling better…”
Her words trail off with a suggestive quirk of her eyebrow, and I grin. Settling back against the pillows, I tug her into my embrace, relishing her warmth.
“Deal, but you’re not going anywhere tonight,” I say against the crown of her head. “I need you right here.”
She snuggles closer with a contented hum. “Wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Chapter 18: Elyse
Iwake early, leaning over to check on Jack. He seems to be resting peacefully, and I guess the shot finally took away enough pain for him to sleep. I’m about to tiptoe out of bed to avoid waking him when he suddenly grabs me with his good arm, hauling me on top of him. I let out a startled giggle as his eyes pop open. “You aren’t asleep,” I say, voice heavy with accusation.
“Oh, I’m up.” He thrusts his hips, pressing his stiff cock against my thigh. “And I have a problem I think you can help me with.”
“Oh, yeah?” I ask, grinning. “What kind of problem is that?”
He reaches for the hem of my shirt and pulls it over my head with his good arm. “This kind of problem.”
I lean forward and kiss him, my tongue sliding against his. I’m soaking wet already, and I grind my pelvis against his, desperate for some friction. He groans, and I pull back. “Did I hurt you?”
“No, baby. You’re just driving me crazy.”
I bite my lip. “You probably shouldn’t…”
He groans. “What if I let you do all the work?”
I pretend to consider it. “I suppose I could do that.”
“Good. Now get that sweet ass of yours naked and ride me.”
I grin and scramble off the bed, pulling down my panties and kicking them aside. I climb back on the bed and straddle him, reaching for the waistband of his boxers.
“Wait,” he says, grabbing my wrist. “Let me look at you first.”
My cheeks heat, but I stay still, letting him stare at my naked body.
“Fuck, Elyse. You’re so damn beautiful.”
I smile and reach for his boxers again, tugging them down. His cock springs free, and I wrap my hand around it, stroking him a few times.
He groans. “Baby, if you keep doing that, this will be over before it starts.”
I give him a wicked grin and release him, reaching for the drawer of his nightstand. I grab a condom and rip it open, rolling it onto his cock.
“Hurry up, baby. I need to be inside you.”
I position myself above him and slowly sink down, taking him inch by inch until he’s fully seated inside me. We both groan when I start to move, riding him slowly.
“That’s it, baby. Just like that.”
I pick up the pace, bouncing on his cock. He grips my hip with his good arm, helping me move. His other arm rests on the pillow beside him, and I know he’s trying not to use it.
