Page 31 of Protection for Nichole

Jesse shot her a lopsided grin. “Hell yeah!”

He was on his knees, pulling her pants low along with her panties. Once she was naked, he leaned in and licked at her slit. His fingers slid up her inner thigh, making her shiver. The feelof his mouth on her, his fingers inside, was enough to leave her gasping with pleasure.

She held onto him, her head thrown back against the door as she came. His deep chuckle reverberated through her, and she closed her eyes, reveling in the sweetness of being here.

Jesse stood, cupping her face with both hands. “I’m glad you’re home.”

“I couldn’t stay away.”

“Fuck, I need you.”

Their next kiss was like fireworks. She tugged at his clothes, getting him naked. He ended the kiss and then picked her up, carrying her to the bedroom. Her laughter filled the space. She loved this man so much. Being with him filled her soul with happiness.

After he dropped her on the bed, he grabbed a condom and rolled it on. His expression was serious as he wrapped his arms around her thighs and scooted her to the end of the bed. He slid into her in one sure stroke, taking her breath away.

With one arm wrapped around her legs, he held her still as he pumped into her. His other hand was on her, his thumb stroking her clit. She was on fire with need as he pumped into her. Then he pulled all the way out and flipped her to her stomach before sliding in from behind. His body pressed her into the bed, leaving her feeling totally fulfilled.

Every slide in stole her breath. He was making her his own, and she loved it. Leaving Jesse had been hard the last time, but after this, it would be nearly impossible.

He lowered his head, and his lips trailed over her spine at the base of her head. “So beautiful. So very beautiful.” He pulled out, and she complained, but then he turned her over and lifted her legs. “I need to see you as I come.”

His cock filled her, and she arched up to meet him, her head thrown back as she gasped for air. The slide of his fingers on herskin, the press of his chest against her breasts, all of it was taking her higher. This orgasm building wasn’t just from him grazing against her clit, this was more. He held her gaze, and it was like all of him was taking her higher, bringing them both closer to orgasm.

His muscles shook as his teeth ground together. Her fingers dug into his back, trying to get him closer. But there wasn’t closer. They were as entwined as two could be. Her heart pounded, and each breath was a gasp as he pumped in.

The whole world could have ceased to exist. All that mattered was Jesse inside her, her hands holding him close, them touching, kissing, making love.

They were meant to be. They belonged together.

If she believed in magic, she would think they were creating some kind of spell at the moment because it felt like they’d woven together so closely he’d really become a part of her.

Jesse pumped in one more time, then threw his head back, his groan filling her ears as her body shattered, her muscles shaking, and her pussy clamped down on him with her pulsing orgasm.

It took a long moment for him to lift up. The pressure of his weight on her gave her a peace like she’d never felt before. He was enough. The thought shocked her. She was a driven person who thrived on delving in and chasing a story, but being with Jesse satisfied her like nothing else ever could.

Chapter 27

Jay’s phonerang way too early. He rolled away from Nichole and grabbed the device off the nightstand, swiping his fingers over the screen to answer as he stepped into the bathroom. “Hello?” He hadn’t looked to see who was calling, hadn’t cared. He’d just wanted the damn thing silenced so it didn’t wake Nichole.

They’d spent the night making love, which meant neither of them got much sleep. But who needed sleep when he had Nichole wrapped around him?

“Hey, it’s Sharp. We’re being called in.”

“Shit.”

“I don’t think we’ll leave the country, but we need to be there in about an hour.”

“Why didn’t I—” his phone vibrated, and he looked down, seeing the text telling him to show up at base. “Just got it.”

“Yeah. I’ll see you there.”

Jay stepped into the shower, not turning the water warmer just so he would wake up faster. The bathroom door opened about when he was finished.

Nichole wiped a hand over her eyes, her forehead wrinkled as she blinked against the brightness. “Hey, what’s up?”

He pushed the shower curtain back and grabbed a towel. “As much as I want to spend the day in bed, I just got called into the base.” Her eyes went wide, and he could see her mind working before she opened her mouth.

“What happened—scratch that. I know you can’t tell me, and you may not know. Just curious. Be safe, and text me when you leave base. I’ll put food together or something.”
