Eavie awoke the following morning with the memories of the night before slowly surfacing as she opened her eyes.A smile formed on her lips as she recalled every exquisite detail.Jax had certainly proven his point to her over, and over,and overagain.Not only had he wrung three mind-blowing, back-arching orgasms from her, but he’d also shown her that he controlled her body.She couldn’t deny it, even if she wouldn’t admit it out loud.
Instead of taking her fast and rough, he’d taken his time with slow, calculated thrusts that continually pushed her close to the edge, building her pleasure leisurely.Right when she was ready to explode, he’d pull back and keep her from tilting over that edge.When he would let her fall over it, it would catch her by surprise.
By the time he had been done with her, her voice was rough from screaming his name, her nerve endings were overstimulated, and her legs were like jelly.
Afterward, they ate the dinner that had been delivered while lying in bed.They talked and laughed and enjoyed being together after a few days apart.It was crazy how quickly that small absence had felt so much longer.She smiled as she remembered the casual conversation and teasing.
“The team ready for the game against Memphis?”Eavie asked.The Royals would play the River Kings the day after tomorrow.
“Of course,” Jax scoffed as if her question was ridiculous.
“Someone’s confident,” she shot back with a smirk.
“We’ve only lost two games so far this season.”
“I’m just saying,” she said, shrugging one shoulder.“Everyone thought Chase Maddox would be flat but he’s on a heater.”
He threw her a wry smile.“It’s only the beginning of the season.Plenty of time for him to burn out.”
“Maybe, but everyone does love an underdog.”Eavie fought the smile that tugged at her lips.
“Oh,” Jax said, his voice dropping to a dangerous level.“And areyoupeople?”
She bit her lip.“I might be.Who knows?”
“Do I have competition?”
“I mean, Idoenjoy his skills at puck handling,” she teased.
Without warning, Jax tackled her back onto the bed causing her to let out a laughing scream.Pinning her arms above her head, he growled.“I guess I’ll just have to remind you about my puck handling skills…right after I show you myotherskills.”
Liquid heat pooled between her legs as Jax dipped his head to kiss her—deeply and thoroughly.In a matter of seconds, he had her body singing again, ready to break apart at his command—and command her he did.
Later that night, as they lay in bed, the soft sheets draped over their naked bodies, she’d felt his fingers run idly over her until she had fallen asleep.
Eavie pulled herself out of her daydreaming as the clock flashed seven.Feeling behind her, she found the sheets were cool and absent of the hard, warm body that had been wrapped around her last night.
Rolling over, she was greeted with nothing more than empty sheets.Sitting up, she looked around her room for any sign of Jax, spotting a piece of paper folded over and lying on the pillow he had used the night before.
Eavie reached for the paper, and the sheet she had been holding fell from her chest to reveal her naked form.The cool air caressed her skin, causing her nipples to harden, acutely aware that they were sore from Jax’s insatiable attentions.In fact, her entire body felt sore and used in the most delicious ways.Thinking about what he had done to make her that way caused her to turn warm and liquid.
She picked up the paper and unfolded it, revealing a note from Jax.
Morning, Cinderella!
I had to get to the arena for an early workout and didn’t want to wake you.I’ll see you there.
Can I take you to dinner tonight?I promise to behave…
J xx
Eavie read the note twice, a goofy, lovesick smile splitting across her face.She was in so much trouble.The man had wormed his way into her heart.Giddiness overtook her as she thought about seeing him today at work and having an actual date with him tonight.
Rolling out of bed, she went to her shower to clean up from last night, something she had neglected to do.Standing under the steaming spray, she washed away the traces of Jax from between her legs.She continued to let the flood of memories from last night play on her closed eyelids like a movie.Just remembering the feel of his hands, his lips, and the way he felt inside her had her so hot—so ready.Even after three smoldering rounds and multiple orgasms, her need for him hadn’t simmered.If anything, it had grown hotter and more intense.
Stepping from the shower, Eavie wrapped a towel around herself before stepping up to the mirror.She applied her makeup as usual, but instead of putting her hair in its standard high bun, she left it down, flowing in large waves down her back.
Jax had told her he loved her hair and thought about running his hands through it, pulling on it.With a saucy smile at her reflection, she wondered what his reaction would be seeing her at work with it down, just as he liked it.She had no doubt it would elicit the exact response she was looking for.
