“You should get anaward.”
Jonah didn’t even want to think about the shape of the trophy he might be given for his oral sex technique. “The only thing I want isyou.”
Her eyes heavy and satisfied, she lifted herself on her elbows. Her hair was a wild halo. “Pretty sure you just hadme.”
“What was that promise about showing me how flashy, powerful, and fast youare?”
She reached out as if to pat his chest, but stopped before she touched his skin. “That was beforethis.”
There were positions that would make his burns a nonissue, one of them with Tessa on her knees and him behind like last time. His cock liked the idea of that just fine, but it didn’t fit with what was happening inside him. He wanted to watch her eyes, see her pretty face, when he made her comehard.
He scrambled to gather up the bed pillows. He’d owe Grif an entire linen replacement after tonight, but who the hellcared.
“Lift up,” heordered.
She did a clumsy roll to one side and he shoved three pillows under her back andass.
“Thatokay?”
“Ah…yes.”
It was perfect, actually, lifting her almost to his hip level. Jonah leaned over her body, supporting himself with his arms, and kissed her. The feel of her mouth against his, the sweep of her tongue was as exciting and intimate as the taste of her on hislips.
Her hands hovered at hissides.
“Touch me,” hesaid.
But instead of winding her arms around him as he expected, she fisted his dick, lying hard and tight against his belly. Jonah gritted his teeth against the eye-crossing bliss of her hand sliding up and downhim.
But he needed more. Needed to be a part of her. Needed tohaveher.
That’s when reality struck him, almost gutting him with hisidiocy.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” hechanted.
“Yes, please,” Tessasaid.
“Condom,” he grittedout.
“Check the bag on thedresser.”
“Huh?”
“Brynne is going to be your new favorite sister-in-law.”
Jonah pushed himself up and stumbled over to the bag. He shoved his hand all the way to the bottom and came up with a row of foil packages. Yeah, Brynne would get a big ol’ thank-you fromhim.
When he returned to the bed, Tessa’s smile told him she knew exactly how thankful he was. He ripped into the package and rolled onprotection.
“By the way,” Tessa said softly. “I’m on the pill and I’m clean. Since… Well, I get testedregularly.”
The indirect reference to her attack knotted up Jonah’s stomach.Don’t fuck this up,he told himself.She’s moved on. It’s time for you to do the same damnthing.
“Me too. Clean, I mean. Not thepill.”
“Then how about this?” Her smile and gaze never wavered as she reached down and rolled the rubber off his dick. Jonah’s brain knocked against the top of his skull, making him woozy and stupid. He was about to slide inside a woman without a barrier for the first time in hislife.
Her smile wavered. “I’m sorry. Maybe I was tooforward—”
