Claire's hands explore my body with a newfound boldness, each touch sending shockwaves of pleasure coursing through me. She's taking control, and it's intoxicating. I'm drowning in sensation, in the feel of her mouth on my skin, the press of her curves against me.

"Claire," I manage, my voice rough with need. "You're driving me crazy."

She looks up at me through her lashes, a coy smile on her kiss-swollen lips. "That's the idea," she whispers, her hands dipping lower, teasing along the waistband of my pants.

I capture her wrists, spinning us around so she's once again trapped between me and the wall. Our eyes lock, the air betweenus crackling with tension. In this moment, I know with startling clarity that this woman is my everything. The emotions swirling in her gaze, the way my heart races at her touch—it's something deeper, something that has taken root in my very soul.

I want to take care of her. I want to marry her. I want to put a baby in her belly like a man is supposed to do.

I crush my mouth to hers, the kiss a wordless promise of all the things I long to say. She responds with equal fervor, her fingers tangling in my hair, holding me close. We're lost in each other, the rest of the world fading away until there is only the two of us and this searing connection that grows stronger with every passing second.

And even though my cock is pressing insistently against the front of my pants, I make myself break the kiss.

We’re both breathing heavily, and I rest my forehead against hers. "Claire," I murmur, my voice trembling with the force of my emotions. "Say you’ll stay with me forever."

She stares at me, her eyes wide and luminous in the dim light. For a heart-stopping moment, I fear she doesn't feel the same, that I've misread the situation entirely. But then a slow, radiant smile spreads across her face, and she reaches up to cup my cheek.

"I want that too, Jax," she whispers, her thumb brushing over my skin in a featherlight caress. "I didn't expect this, didn't expect you, but now I can't imagine going back to my life without you in it."

Relief and joy surge through me, and I capture her hand, pressing a fervent kiss to her palm. "You've turned my world upside down, Claire Harper," I confess, my heart in my throat. "I've never felt this way about anyone before."

She leans in, her lips a hairsbreadth from mine. "I'm falling for you, Jax Donovan," she breathes, her words a sweet caressagainst my mouth. "Harder and faster than I ever thought possible."

Our lips meet in a kiss that seals our confessions, a promise of the future we'll build together. And then I have to have her.

I unbutton my pants, and my cock drops out, stiff and heavy. I hike Claire’s dress up and push her panties to the side, groaning at the wetness that meets my fingers.

I slide my fingers through her slick heat, relishing the way her breath hitches. "Fuck, you're so wet for me," I groan against her neck. "Always so ready."

"Only for you," Claire gasps as I circle her sensitive nub. "I need you, Jax. Now."

I can't deny her, can't resist sinking into her welcoming warmth. I line myself up and thrust deep, swallowing her moan with a searing kiss. Her legs wrap around my hips as I start to move, my strokes hard and fast, driven by a primal need to claim her, to mark her as mine.

The alcove fills with the sounds of our passion—ragged breaths, desperate kisses, the erotic slap of skin on skin. Claire meets me thrust for thrust, her nails raking down my back, spurring me on.

"Harder," she pants. "Don't hold back. I want to feel you for days."

Her words unleash something wild in me, and I comply with a low growl, slamming into her with abandon. The pleasure builds rapidly, coiling tighter and tighter. I snake a hand between us, finding her clit, intent on bringing her with me over the edge.

"Come for me, Claire," I command hoarsely, rubbing rapid circles. "Let me feel you."

She shatters with a choked cry, her walls clamping down on me like a vice. I bury my face in her neck, muffling my shout as I follow her into bliss, emptying myself deep inside her.

We stay locked together, hearts racing, as we float down from the high. I pepper her face with soft kisses, marveling at the incredible woman in my arms.

"I love you," I murmur, the words spilling out unbidden. "I know it's fast, but I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

Claire's eyes shine with unshed tears. "I love you too, Jax. This is real, isn't it? What we have?"

I kiss her tenderly, pouring all my adoration into it. "It's the realest thing I've ever known. You're my everything now."

I hoist Claire into my arms and carry and carry her upstairs to my bedroom, relishing the feeling of her warm body nestled against my chest. The scent of her hair, the soft swell of her breasts pressed to me—it all feels like a dream I never want to wake from.

Gently laying her on the plush comforter, I drink in the sight of her spread out before me, cheeks flushed and eyes dark with desire. "You're so beautiful," I murmur reverently, trailing my fingertips along the silk of her inner thigh. "I want to worship every inch of you."

She shivers at my touch, back arching off the bed. "Please, Jax..." Her breathless plea is music to my ears.

I take my time undressing her, savoring each new expanse of creamy skin as it's revealed. Flicking open the front clasp of her lacy bra, I groan at the sight of her perfect breasts, rosy nipples already pebbled and begging for my mouth. I oblige, drawing one stiff peak between my lips to suck and nibble until she's writhing beneath me.
