Page 36 of A Reclusive Heart

“Other things?” Jamie asked against his lips, too curious to focus on the kissing.

“Mmmmhmmm, other things,” Nick murmured against her lips as his hand slid between them and cupped her breast. “A lot of other things,” he said softly as he gently guided her onto her back.

“B-But no sex,” she reminded him even as her body trembled.

“No sex,” Nick repeated smoothly as he kissed her again.

Lying on her back like this, she felt exposed and had to grab hold of the floral comforter to stop herself from covering herself up. She’d never been very comfortable with her body and having a man like Nick, who’d probably found her lacking, seeing her like this made her even more nervous.

“Beautiful,” Nick murmured as he teasingly traced his fingertips up and down her stomach. It was only then that she realized that he’d stopped kissing her. Worrying her bottom lip between her teeth, Jamie glanced to the left to find him kneeling by her side as he ran hungry eyes over her body. The way he looked at her made her feel sexy and helped ease some of the tension from her body.

That tension came right back when he ducked his head and took one of her sensitive nipples between his lips and gently suckled. She gasped as she instinctively reached up to push him away only to realize that it felt good and didn’t want him to stop. Not sure what to do while he gently ran one hand over her stomach and down her leg while he licked and sucked her breast,Jamie decided that since this might be her only chance that she was going to do some touching of her own.

She reached out with her right hand and slowly ran her fingers through his hair, loving the way it felt, but more importantly, encouraging him to keep going. She’d never felt anything this good before. A moment later, that opinion changed when he released her left nipple to work on her right nipple just as his fingers lightly brushed over her panties, making her gasp.

When he did it again, Jamie fought against the urge to press her legs together and forced herself to open her legs wider. His growl of approval sent waves of pleasure through her nipple and between her legs and she couldn’t help but moan as she ran her hand over his back.

He felt so good.

“You’re soaking wet,” Nick said tightly as he cupped her through her panties, making her arch into his touch. From everything she’d read, she knew that was a good thing, but that didn’t stop her from being embarrassed.

Her embarrassment didn’t improve in the next second when his hand snaked beneath her panties and he teasingly traced her wet slit with his fingertips. Writing about sex hadn’t prepared her for this, Jamie suddenly realized. She’d used what she’d learned from reading romance novels to create the sex scenes in her books and now realized that they hadn’t been adequate, not at all.

She wrote about the mechanics of the act but had never really been able to describe what it felt like to be touched by a man, but now, she knew. She really couldn’t help but wonder if doing this with Nick would improve her writing. Of course, when he ran the pad of his fingertip over her clit and traced her core, she decided to stop thinking.

Nick kissed and licked his way back up to her mouth. This kiss was different from the others. It was wild, hot, andintensified the pleasure between her legs. When he suddenly reached back and caught the hand that had been exploring his back by her wrist and lowered it, she became nervous. Maybe he didn’t want her to touch him. Was she supposed to just lie there?

The selfish part of her didn’t have a problem with that, but the other part of her, the curious part, wanted to explore, touch, and learn every inch of him. This was something new for her and she knew that she would never be satisfied with just lying here. She needed to-

“Touch me,” Nick pleaded softly against her lips as he brought her hand between his legs and placed it on the erection straining against his underwear.

Not needing to be asked twice, Jamie ran her hand slowly over his cloth-covered erection and as much as she liked it, she needed more. When she reached the buttons on the front of his underwear, she quickly undid them and reached inside and couldn’t help but moan when her hand came in contact with something hard. She took a steadying breath as she wrapped her hand around him, noting the silky-smooth feel of his skin and slowly pulled it free.

She didn’t need to see it to know that it was large, very large. When she went to wrap her hand around it, she discovered just how thick it was. That pretty much confirmed her decision to hold off on sex for now. There was just no way that she was going to be able to lie there with this thing coming after her, Jamie decided as she began to explore him.

“Don’t stop,” Nick said against her lips before he pulled away and sat up, putting that monster between his legs right above her chest.

For a moment, Jamie could only stare at the large, dark pink appendage in her hand, but then Nick just had to go and slide a finger inside of her. He groaned as he slowly worked his fingerin and out of her and it wasn’t long before she was running her hand over him as she moaned softly in pleasure.

As he worked his finger inside of her, Jamie was torn between watching his hand move between her legs and what she was doing to him. When several drops of liquid leaked out of the tip, she looked up to find him watching her intently. Using her curiosity, Jamie pushed aside her nervousness and pulled his erection closer as she tilted her head to the side, never taking her eyes off him, and licked the drops off the tip of his cock.

“Fuck…” Nick groaned, taking his time thrusting his finger inside of her as his thumb came into play and gently pressed against her clit. She continued to work her hand down his shaft, but now she couldn’t help but lick and suckle the large tip.

“That’s it, baby,” Nick said, groaning.

She couldn’t help but moan when he shifted so that the bottom of his shaft was pressed against her hard nipple. It felt so good. Every time she stroked him, his erection brushed against her nipple, sending pleasure throughout her body as he teased her clit until she was left half-sobbing/half-moaning as she rolled her hips, riding his finger as she licked and stroked his erection.

Just when she thought that she couldn’t take anymore, her body suddenly tightened and exploded into what felt like a million pieces. She was barely aware of her screams of pleasure or his groans. The only thing she knew was that she never felt anything this good before. That is, until the hot liquid shooting across her sensitive nipples set her off again.

She suddenly found her hand empty and Nick’s mouth back on hers as he slowed his movements between her legs. He swallowed her moans as her hips slowly came to a stop, leaving her panting as she struggled to catch her breath. He pressed one last kiss against her lips before pulling away.

“Go get cleaned up. We have to leave for the airport in an hour,” Nick said absently as he tucked himself back into his underwear and headed for the bathroom, leaving her feeling confused until she remembered that this was just another arrangement.

CHAPTER 19

“Aren’t you cold?” Nick asked through clenched teeth as the asshole standing next to him checked Jamie out instead of the airport’s arrival board like he should be doing.

He sent Jamie’s sexy tattoo another glare. Why the hell was she walking around with her jeans low on her hips and her shirt ending just above her navel like that? She should only be wearing those types of things when he was around, which brought him right back to why he was pissed.
