Page 36 of Holding Out For A Holiday Hero

A scream. For him.

He kept his promise.

Jake kept licking her. Feasting. Driving her wild as she trembled and broke beneath him. When the climax finally eased, when the aftershock pulses still shook her core but she could actually think coherently again, Jake slowly raised his head.

“Always knew you’d taste that sweet.” He licked his lips. “New favorite treat.”

Her body was lax. Replete. The orgasm had rocked straight through her. It had obliterated her.

“Now I think you’re ready.”

He hauled his shirt over his head. Threw it across the room. The shadows and light rippled over his chest. She reached for him instantly.

His hands shoved down on either side of her head. “I want to be gentle with you.”

He had been gentle.

“But I’ve been holding onto this need for a long time. Once I get in you…” His jaw hardened. “If I get too rough, if I do anything that makes you uncomfortable, you tell me.”

He wasn’t going to do anything she didn’t want. “You need to get the jeans off.” They were in the way. Her hand flew down as she tried to open the snap.

His fingers immediately covered hers. “I’m not like your other lovers, sweets.”

“All two of them?”

His hand tightened on hers. “I will own you.”

What did that even mean? “Do I get to own you, too?”

“You already do.” A growl. “You need a safe word with me. It’s been too long for you. I’m too big. And I don’t want you hurt.”

“No, I don’t think that’s necessary?—”

“You say the word if anything hurts you. Pick something, now.”

Couldn’t she just say…Go slower? Was that not happening? Fine, fine…anything to get the man’s jeans off. “Sleigh bells.”

He blinked.

“Sleigh bells if you need to slow down.” Her breath shuddered out. She wasn’t worried about him slowing down. She needed the man to speed the heck up. “And jingle for when you need to go harder.” She kissed him on the neck. Bit lightly. “Faster. Jingle.”

He pulled away.

She was the one blinking in confusion. But he just ditched his jeans and boxers.

Oh, wow. He was certainly built along way bigger lines than her ex. So, okay, yep, maybe she would need that sleigh bells bit if things got uncomfortable because he was absolutely going to wreck her if he wasn’t careful.

He shoved on a condom that he’d hauled from his wallet, and Jake pushed her thighs apart as he came back to her. “Don’t be afraid of me.”

She hadn’t been. Until she’d seen the full size of his dick. “Uh…”

The tip of his cock pushed into her. True couldn’t help tensing.

His eyes remained locked on hers. “You’re going to take me, and you’re going to tell me if anything hurts.”

A nod. Her hands reached for his shoulders.

His hand slid between their bodies. Worked her clit and a fast spasm of pleasure shot through her. Oh, yes, she liked that. The nervous tension transformed into fast need. Jingle. Jingle. Jingle!
