Page 60 of From the Moment We Met

Jacob chuckled. "I told you before, you won't break anything. And even if you do, it's replaceable."

"Ah, you see, that's not entirely true with some of these pieces."

Another chuckle as he raked his fingers through his golden curls. God he was gorgeous. "I think the stereo is safe. Do you want to find us some music?"

"Sure, what's your pleasure?" Lilly asked, scanning through his collection of digital music.

Her breath caught when his arms wrapped around her waist, his lips nipping at her ear. "You're my pleasure, Lilly."

Lilly turned in his arms, running her hands over his shoulders. "How would you know? We haven’t done anything yet.”

Jacob's hands slid along her sides, grasping her ass and pulling her against him; her body hummed when she realized he was rock-hard, and it was all for her. "Yet would be the operative word."

"So that's what all the romance was about? I knew there was an ulterior motive to the French music and dancing." She smiled up at him, enjoying the warmth in his embrace.

Jacob chuckled, nipping her neck. "You've discovered my secret. I figured one dance should entitle me to several hours exploring your curves. My mouth has waited long enough."

Lilly arched an eyebrow at him, although his statement made her body quiver with anticipation. Just the thought of his mouth on her body made her clench with desire. "Aren't we presumptuous? I think I can withstand you, even if you do resemble a Grecian God."

There was that familiar smirk. The man loved a challenge.

His mouth nuzzled her neck as his hand wound into her hair. "What about now?" Jacob breathed against her skin.

Stay cool, Lilly. Don't show all your cards. She released a throaty laugh. "Getting warmer."

His hands slid up her legs, under her skirt, until he cupped her mound, his thumb circling her clit. "And now?"

Lilly's breath caught, her body moving against his hand. "Definitely moving in the right direction."

A fire lit in Jacob's eyes, an intense desire sprang to life as he backed her against the wall, his fingers unzipping her dress, letting it slide to the floor. She heard his breath hitch as he looked at her body. "Fuck Lilly, you're gorgeous."

Lilly's niggling self-loathing crept into her brain as she recalled how Victoria looked draped over Jacob's tanned body. She moved her arms to cover herself, but Jacob held them at her side, shaking his head.

"Don't ever hide this beautiful body from me."

"I'm certainly not your usual type."

"Thank God. Hold onto me." Jacob lifted Lilly into his arms, her dress now a useless rag on the floor.

Lilly blushed, aware of his piercing gaze on her body, but she wrapped her legs around his waist, his erection pulsing against her and sending shock waves through her body.

"Keep your eyes on me, Lilly." Jacob carried her to the kitchen counter, laying her back on the cold marble. His hands descended the curves of her body, his breath coming in short huffs as he positioned himself between her legs.

She closed her eyes and fell into the moment, fell into the sultry song playing on the radio, fell into the feeling of his hands working over her body. “You feel so good, Jacob,” Lilly murmured.

"Open your eyes, I want you to see what I'm doing to you, see how much I want you." His mouth pressed a kiss to her left hip before he tongued his way across her abdomen to press a second kiss on her right hip. "I've dreamt about touching you like this. I wanted to kiss every inch of you the other day. It took everything I had not to strip you down and have my way with you."

It was getting hard to breathe, her thoughts messy and jumbled. "Which day?"

He smiled against her skin, his mouth deftly opening her bra clasp. “Since before we met, the moment I heard you laugh. You laugh is the sexiest damn sound all wrapped up in this exquisite package." He stood back, his hooded gaze lasered on the gentle rise and fall of her breasts. "Just look at you, Lilly."

Lilly moaned when his hands cupped her breasts, sucking her nipple into his mouth. His tongue flicked over the sensitive tip, blowing softly on her skin before moving to her other breast. She tangled her hands in his curls and pressed his head against her body, earning a low growl of appreciation.

Jacob ran his hands down her rib cage and over her hips, his fingers latching onto her silk thong and pulling it down her legs. His eyes widened, and Lilly traced his lips with her thumb, a breathless whimper escaping her when he caught it between his teeth.

He lowered his head, placing a kiss against her mound. "You’re beautiful, Lilly. Every inch of you is beautiful." His fingers teased her open, sliding inside her and Lilly bucked her hips instinctively at his touch.

Am I ready for this? Lilly contemplated, knowing her body was screaming in the affirmative. "Aren't I supposed to be resisting you?"
