Yes.

He sucked ever so gently, stroking his tongue along the side of her clit. Chloe mewled in her throat and arched, her body forming a gorgeous, taut line of need.

He let go of one leg and slid two fingers inside her, pressing upward against that spot right behind her pubic bone with firm pressure as he enjoyed her.

Chloe whimpered and clamped her legs around his shoulders, her fingers tightening on his hair sending a sting across his scalp. He kept going, watching her face, paying attention to every little cue her body gave him. And this time when she got close, he didn’t stop.

He slowed.

Her incoherent moan of need wrapped around him, his senses filled with her scent and taste as he took her to heaven. She gave him everything, nothing held back as she came for him, her cries echoing in his ears while she arched against his mouth and clamped around his fingers.

Only when she went limp and pushed his face away did he stop, giving her intimate flesh one last, lingering kiss before easing back on his heels. He was hard as a steel rod in his jeans, aching to unzip his fly and find relief. But it was worth it.

Shewas worth it.

Chloe licked her lips and pushed up, her breathing still a little ragged as she pushed the tumbled blond strands back from her face. “Wow, I wasn’t…expecting that,” she finally managed.

Ignoring the ache in his dick, Heath pushed to his feet and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to bury his face in her hair. “Good?”

“Amazing.” She nestled her cheek in the hollow between his chest and shoulder, her hands wandering over his back, down to his ass. Then around toward his pulsing erection.

Heath groaned and captured her curious hands. He wanted them on his aching flesh more than anything, but he would wait. He didn’t know what the other guys she’d been with had been like, but he wanted to show her that he was an unselfish lover who didn’t always expect her to reciprocate every time.

Still holding her hands, he eased back a little to look down at her. “Think you can get some sleep now?”

She studied him, as if unsure what to make of him stopping her. “Maybe.”

“Maybe if I was wrapped around you?”

A hint of vulnerability flashed in her eyes at his offer, and a soft smile spread across those tempting lips. “Maybe. I think it’s worth a shot.”

He kissed her soft mouth. “I think so too.”

Leaving her shorts on the floor, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to her bed, where he planned on staying the whole night.

Chapter Fifteen

It had been a few months since she’d last had sex, but this was the first time Chloe had wanted to stay the entire night with a guy. Heath was on his side behind her, tucked up close to her body, one muscular arm wrapped around her waist.

After crawling in beside her he’d shut off the lamp, pulled the covers over them and cuddled into her. He had no idea what that did to her.

Lying here in the near darkness with him, listening to the sound of their quiet breathing, her body sated and warm. The quiet peace she so rarely got to experience. The rare chance to let her shields this far down around another person.

Except she wasn’t the least bit tired after the release he’d given her—without expecting anything in return. And he was rock hard against her butt.

She pulled free of his arm and rolled to face him in the dimness, the tiny amount of light coming from the gap around the blinds on the window allowing her to see his face. The dark stubble on his face added to his rugged appeal, and even though she couldn’t see the color, she could picture how vivid the blue of his eyes was this close up.

“Still can’t sleep?” he murmured, stroking his fingers through her hair.

Ohhh, she liked that. She likedhim,with his loyalty, rule following and gruff exterior. “No. And neither can you, like this.” She slid a hand between them to cup the ridge of his erection through his jeans.

Her insides squeezed at the thought of him burying himself inside her. But not tonight—that was too intimate a step to take with him, because he’d already penetrated her defenses more deeply than anyone else had.

Maybe never, because after this op they would go their separate ways. He was different than the others. She wouldn’t be able to walk away unscathed after him, and she needed to mitigate the damage.

He groaned softly and nuzzled her cheek. “You’re making it worse.”

“Am I? Maybe this will help.” She flicked the button of his jeans open and tugged down the zipper so she could slide her hands inside his underwear.
