Page 40 of Summer with a SEAL

Stripping off his shorts, he curled up in bed beside her, readjusting the straps on her little negligee. Wrapping his arms around her, he listened as she sighed softly in contentment, nestling even closer to him in her sleep.

“Goodnight, sweetheart,” he murmured, brushing a kiss across her temple.

And then he shut his eyes, holding the woman he’d already fallen for.

Chapter 17

Jessica walked into the kitchen on Monday morning, yawning. Jacob had spent a second night at her place but had to leave at the crack of dawn to be on base for PT. He’d awakened her with gentle kisses, and then coaxed her into a mind-blowing orgasm with his fingers and mouth before kissing her goodbye.

She could get used to him staying over all the time—it wasn’t exactly too practical with him needing to be on base so early, but somehow Ryker and Michelle had fallen into exactly that routine.

She flushed, just remembering Jacob’s big hands and mouth all over her skin.

She set her phone on the counter, trying to clear her head. She began to make coffee and was surprised when her phone buzzed with a text a minute later.

Miss you already, angel. I’ll be in training all afternoon. Last night was amazing.

This morning, too.

Her cheeks reddened, recalling Jacob stripping her down last night and making her come apart in his arms. They still hadn’t had sex yet, but she’d finally gotten to explore him, too, returning the favor after he’d made her come a few times.

Jacob’s body was amazing, full of hard muscles and interesting little dips and ridges. And when she’d tugged his boxers down, watching his cock spring free, she’d gasped in surprise. He was hot and heavy, and she couldn’t imagine all that masculine strength eventually filling her deeply inside.

Even though Jacob was so very strong, he was always gentle with her. When they did finally make love, she knew he’d make it amazing for her, too.

It was sad that the weekend was over and he had to be back at work. Sure, she had her friends, but wow. After an amazing two days—and nights—together, she just wasn’t sure if she was ready to return to reality.

She looked down at her phone again and quickly thumbed a response.

Miss you, too.

Maybe you should become a teacher so you’ll get summers off. ;)

His reply came a beat later.

If I was home, I’d never let you out of bed.

She giggled, turning as she heard footsteps coming down the hallway.

“Good morning,” Amy trilled in a sing-song voice, wandering into the kitchen. She glanced around, stopping midstride.

“Hey yourself,” Jessica said, pouring herself a steaming cup of coffee.

“Jacob’s not here?”

“He had to get to base early. Kind of a bummer for me since I was enjoying having him here, but…” She shrugged. “That’s life. Not everyone gets an entire summer off like us. We’re on vacation, but the rest of the world keeps turning.”

“Touché,” Amy said, pulling a mug from the cupboard. “So, you seem happy. Seriously. I’m glad Jacob was here all weekend. You guys are good together.”

“Yeah, I think so, too. Still—he’s at work all week like the rest of the world. I’d love to spend more time with him, but I’ll just have to relax and enjoy the beach with my besties.”

“I mean, that’s what we’re here for, right?” Amy teased. “The beach? The guys we meet this summer are kind of just the icing on the cake.”

“Yeah, I guess so.” Jessica turned, crossing the kitchen to sink into a chair with her mug of coffee.

“Why do you look so sad all of a sudden?”

“It’s going to be hard to leave him,” Jessica admitted. “I mean, I know I’m jumping totally ahead of myself. We just met them a couple of weeks ago and yet, somehow it already feels like summer is slipping away.”
