Page 58 of Elling & Jackie

Solid.

Dependable.

Loving.

She wanted nothing more than to have him walking around throughout the day—naked or clothed. She wanted to hear more of his past. Learn what made him quiet and what brought a smile to his face.

He held out his hand. She slipped her fingers into his palm. Her heart skipped a beat as the size of his hand consumed her much smaller one, and followed him into the bedroom.

Stopping in front of the bed, he said, "Hop up and get on your knees."

Her stomach swirled, and she squeezed her thighs together.

He lifted her hand and tugged her forward. She caught her bottom lip between her teeth and followed his directions.

On her hands and knees at the edge of the bed, she hung her head between her stretched arms. Open to his view, she knew her own wetness coated her sex.

She slowly spread her knees.

"Jacqueline," he whispered on an exhale.

She glanced over her shoulder at him when he spoke her name. The pleasure on his face, taking her in, was the most loving reaction she'd ever heard. She'd never seen someone who exuded such a dominating claim on her.

His broad chest held his conviction. He was sure and steady, confident. The way he gazed at her put all her inhibitions to the side. She wanted to be the most desirable woman for him, because of him.

Her body, in answer, sent tingles throughout her lower stomach that traveled between her legs.

She literally felt the moment her life changed.

There would never be another man who compared to Elling for her.

The foil wrapper of the condom crinkled. She moistened her lips, watching him roll the condom on his cock. He gazed at her while doing so, almost egotistical in his ability to protect them both.

He was gorgeous, sexy, and too big to possess, and she had a moment of doubting her ability to please him. Could she be enough for him? Not just tonight, but next week, next month?

Though the look in his eyes gave her the answer she needed as he stalked forward.

Losing sight of him behind her, she arched her neck and looked up at the Hotel's Lily of the Valley replica framed on the wall. It wasn't the painting that held her attention.

Elling rubbed his hands over her hips, shaping them in front of him. "Arch your back."

Her entire body flashed hot, and her skin prickled under his seduction. God, she loved that. She could make love to that deep voice of his all night long.

He slid his finger along her inner thigh. She almost buckled if not for the hand on her hip and the force of his fingers holding her close.

His cock pressed at her pussy. Knowing his size and skill, she fisted the bedspread in her hands.

He slid into her and claimed her hips with both hands, holding himself deep inside her. She panted. He not only filled her body, but he also filled her with contentment as if she belonged.

She belonged to him.

He withdrew until the head of his cock teased her opening and then plunged. Her eyes closed, and a gulp echoed in her ears.

Steady and determined, he set the rhythm. Helped by his hands, she swayed back and forth on her hands and knees, meeting each thrust.

Her fingers dug into the bedspread. Her thighs tensed. Those were signs of an orgasm, but she had already come in the other room.

She reared back, harder and faster. The walls of her pussy throbbed, squeezing down on his cock.

Elling's guttural effort gave her the dominating power she craved. Bucking back, she came with an explosion of pleasure.

He held her tight and plunged into her, grinding against her ass. Her eyes rolled behind her closed eyelids as his hardness pulsed rhythmically at his release.

Elling curved his body, pressing his stomach to her back. Their heavy breathing filled the room.

Too soon, he pulled out of her. She reached back for him, not ready for him to leave her yet.

He kissed her lower spine above her ass. "I'll be back. Don't move from the bed."

Doing what he asked, she lowered herself to her stomach and waited for him. Tonight seemed like the perfect dream. He wanted to keep seeing her, and he'd promised to keep their relationship secret. As long as nobody knew—and it was possible to keep him hidden from her family— she could look forward to spending more time with him.
