On this night and for whatever time we could carve out, we were as one. No matter what happened, I would remember this very moment as one of the best in my life.
“So tight,” he whispered and drove the last few inches deep inside.
“So huge.”
His grin was lopsided and, in the twinkling, vividly colored lights of the hot tub, I could tell he was lost in his own level of pure ecstasy. I never would have believed he could find such peace in sharing something between a man and a woman. Maybe first impressions weren’t my strong suit.
As he pulled out, I jutted my hips forward. I needed him inside of me as much as I did the air I was breathing. He sensed my longing, driving inside with careful actions. But I pressed him harder. I needed the roar of excitement and the rush of adrenaline. He repeated his actions, still watching me carefully as if I was going to break into a thousand pieces.
I knew now I was much stronger than that.
So many emotions rushed into me as we fucked… no, we made love. There was no other way of looking at the tenderness laced with the rough need we’d both shared. He still never blinked, his entire face contorted in worry and confusion.
About how he was feeling.
He spun me around again and I shivered to the core, even throwing my head back as a beautiful sweep of ecstasy began a powerful journey from my toes to my core. In those incredible seconds, I did what I could to drive the orgasm away. Losing this moment would be painful.
But my body refused to obey my deepest thoughts and needs.
The dazzling sensations rocketing through me were even better than the climaxes he’d provided before. How could a man so insanely gruff be this amazing in… hot water? The thought brought another smile to my face.
His smile as he watched me was wry, as if learning my body meant he had full control over me.
I wasn’t certain there was a single ounce of me that minded.
As our fucking heated to an explosive point, bubbles splashing over our bodies, the orgasm hit me harder than I’d believed possible.
There was no way to bite back a slight scream and instead of me being forced to slap my hand over my mouth, he did so for me with a rough kiss.
I couldn’t get enough of the taste of him, floating directly into nirvana as my shattered body responded to the pure ecstasy. Only when I started coming down from the spectacular high did he let himself go, falling into his own state of nirvana.
Squeezing my pussy muscles, I was able to bask in his moment of bliss as he threw his head back. I felt the moment he erupted deep inside, filling me with his seed.
Whatever the future would bring, this moment belonged to us and us alone.
From being around Jagger, I’d learned that life wasn’t just about everything being black and white.
Or good and bad.
Right versus wrong.
Gray was allowed to seep in and those who were lucky and in tune with the world around them could appreciate it.
In a short period of time, he’d taught me all about seeing the different shades of evil, providing a light I thought I’d never see again.
If only this could last forever.
CHAPTER 21
Bella
The sound was jarring. So much so I jerked up from a deep sleep. Something inside told me I’d been in a nice slumber, but the darkness in the room was instantly terrifying. Had someone broken into the house?
“Jagger. There’s someone inside.” Fear tore through me as I struggled to unearth my arms from the tight covers, immediately reaching over to his side of the bed.
Even though I was starting to see shadows in the room, I had to feel his pillow to realize he wasn’t in bed. Maybe he’d heard the intruder.
Oh, dear God. Cally!
