Page 60 of Amor Prohibido

The second was lingering.

The third time his lips passed mine, his tongue teased my bottom lip.

Hearing my gasp, Jace sank deep into the kiss and moaned quietly when I reciprocated and arched into him.

We explored each other. Took our time tasting. Gauging how the other responded to the way we touched until we were breathless and panting.

Jace moved up onto his elbow and gently pushed me onto my back. Trembling fingers danced between my legs and had me squirming for more. I ran my fingertips under his shirt and over his torso, grazing tantalisingly lower and eager to take him in my hand. As I reached his waistband, his hand left the apex of my legs and snagged my wrist.

He fought to catch a couple of ragged breaths. “This is where we need to stop, otherwise I won’t be able to hold back.”

I shook my head. I wanted this. To feel his hands on my body and be sent into oblivion like I knew he could so easily do.

Finding a sliver of courage to put my heart on the line, I let the confession whisper from my mouth. “I don’t want you to stop. But you need to know something before we go further. I think… No—Iknowthat I’m…”

Jace’s face loomed closer and cupped my cheek. “Sweetheart?”

I forced myself to meet his imploring gaze through the shadows. “I’m falling for you.”

They were, without a doubt, the hardest four words I had ever spoken, and I’d voiced them so quietly I wasn’t even sure if Jace heard me.

The fear that accompanied my admission was immense. So much rode on my confession; it would either make or break my heart, along with our shaky relationship.

If Jace’s reaction was anything to go by, I’d completely blindsided him. There was nothing, no movement, no breathing, no reaction whatsoever apart from the thumping of my own racing pulse in my ears. Tense silence echoed around us, and the longer it drew out, the more it compressed my chest. A tear sprang free as my hands pressed against his chest, inserting the smallest amount of distance between us.

It was then he finally swallowed thickly and spoke. “Are you saying you’re inlovewith me?”

“Yeah,” I breathed out.

He cursed under his breath. A chaste kiss was pressed hard to my lips, and his fingers tangled in my hair.

I squeezed my eyes closed and held my breath. Waiting and poised. Shuttering my heart to try to protect it as best I could.

Jace’s voice, soft and gritty, washed over me. “Things have changed for us, J, and I know you’ve felt it too. Truth is, you’re under my skin, sweetheart, and I want you there forever.”

“Really?” I ran my thumb across his jaw, feeling his nod.

“Really. I’m falling for you too.Hard,”he emphasised.

My racing heart skipped a beat and my lungs refused to inflate. I trailed my hands down his torso again and palmed his erection through his underwear. Every sensation consumed me.Jaceconsumed me. Made me yearn for more until I couldn’t stand not having him. I wanted it all.

“Let me show you how much I love you,” I whispered and tried to push him onto his back.

His chuckle turned to a growl as he easily restrained me. “Not before I showyou,sweetheart. Strip and open your legs.”

I did as he demanded while he tore off his clothes. But instead of waiting with my legs wide, I moved between his and took his thick, silky erection in my hand. After tossing his shirt and catching his balance with one arm, his free hand met the back of my head and gripped.

A hissed breath filled the air when I flattened my tongue and ran it across the tip. Another followed when I took him in my mouth and slowly sucked.

“Christ, J,” he bit out.

I smiled around his erection, then took him to the back of my throat, relishing each and every breathless curse that came from above.

Without warning, my head was tugged back and Jace urged me up his body. I prowled up his muscular legs and met his frantic mouth, kissing him recklessly and desperately. The tip of his dick slid through my arousal with every rock of my hips. It pushed me closer to an orgasm with each pass.

“Oh, fuck that feels good,” I breathed out when our kiss changed angles. “I think I could come from this.”

A deep hum of hunger vibrated in his chest. “Use me. Ride me. I want you coming on my dick one way or another.”
