He’d thought about this ever since he watched her yoga routine near the lake over a month ago, but his thoughts couldn’t compare to reality.
Still holding her in place, Jeremy began to move, slowly at first, wanting to savor the exquisite feel of her and the new angle. But his hunger for her was too powerful.
“You okay?” he managed to ask when he found his voice.
She nodded, her eyes hooded, mouth parted, hands fisting his comforter.
He glanced down at their connection, watching as he pounded into her lush body over and over, spurred on by the sexy little sounds he was ripping from her throat. This was what he’d wanted…what he’d needed since leaving work today.
And when the incredible woman pressed her sweet ass against him, and took each thrust, arching her back for more, his mind blanked. The world disappeared, taking the day’s events with it, until there was only him and Elle, and the exquisite push and pull of their bodies, demanding, giving, and seeking the bliss awaiting them.
Remarkably, somehow, her rocking increased.
“Harder…faster…” she panted.
This woman was meant for me, he thought with a surge of hunger and a fierce wave of protectiveness.
That was new and something he’d worry about later. Right now, he was too busy watching Elle’s full breasts bounce as he continued to pound into her delicious warmth. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. Rapture ruled her beautiful face, and his groin took a direct hit as she bit her lower lip.
His body screamed at him to give up control and come. Elle had ignited a fire in him that was reaching incineration, and deep in his gut, everything was tightening. He wasn’t going to last. But he wanted her to come first.
Without slowing their pace, he released her ankle to glide his hand down her leg, and he watched as his thumb brushed where they were joined.
She cried out his name, and incredibly, did one of those backward yoga arches off the mattress, pressing harder against him. Then she shattered, her muscles clenching him in tantalizing, sensual waves.
It was perfect. It was everything.
It was his undoing.
Gripping Elle’s hips, Jeremy growled out her name as he followed her over, coming so hard his vision momentarily blurred. Once their bodies stopped rocking, he summoned enough strength to lower her leg and pull out as the rest of her body flopped back onto the mattress. He dropped down by her side and gathered her close as they worked to catch their breath.
Damn, she was limber.
And to think he almost hadn’t let her in tonight. Hell, a little over a month ago, he almost hadn’t let her into his bed…into his life.
But she was in. In his house. In his bed. In his heart.
Somehow, over the past few weeks, the woman had gotten past his barriers with her warm smiles, sweet laughter, hot kisses, and caring ways, like tonight. He’d nearly run away from the concern in her eyes.
Thank God he hadn’t. The emotions she’d opened in him didn’t make him weak, as he’d originally thought. They made him stronger.Shemade him stronger. With Elle by his side, he felt like he could take on the world.
Now, he just needed to convince her of the same thing. He doubted she realized the depth of emotions she had for him. They matched what he had for her. But as leery as he’d been of forming an attachment, Elle was twice as fearful.
He was going to have to take it slow. Take his time convincing her that they were much more than casual get-togethers and off the charts sex.
After his breathing evened out, he drew back to look at her. “You good?”
“Better than good.” She traced a finger along his jaw. “The question is, how are you?”
He grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. “I’m okay, thanks to you,” he replied truthfully. “Thanks for braving a visit.”
Her smile warmed his heart. “Thanks for letting me in.”
“Oh, you’re in, Elle. Trust me,” he said, staring into her fathomless eyes. “You’re in all the way.”
Jeremy held his breath, waiting to see if she was going to push out of his arms, get dressed and leave, or stay and face whatever it was flowing between them. He felt the breath catch in her throat.
“Good to know,” she said softly, then her smile turned playful. “And I’ll let you in on a little secret. I like when you’re in me all the way.”
