Page 38 of Undeniable Love

Rolling toward him, Lucy caressed her way from his abs up to his jaw. “I want what we had outside. I need that…that…frenzy.” Her eyes met his. “Maybe that sounds crazy, but…I kind of liked knowing that I was making you lose control.”

His hand cupped her jaw as his eyes darkened. “Then you’re definitely going to kind of like what I’m about to do.”

Lucy felt her eyes go wide as she held her breath. Jax covered her body with his and the weight of him was delicious. She wrapped herself around him and held on for what she knew was going to be one hell of a ride.

Jax being a bed hog wasn’t surprising, but whenever she moved too far away from him, he would reach for her and haul her close again. As much as Lucy found it to be utterly adorable, she needed to get out of his bed and back to her own room.

Slowly—almost painfully so—she inched away and slid out from under the blankets. The only thing she had to wear was her bathing suit, and that wasn’t even remotely appealing. Instead, she tiptoed toward Jax’s en suite and grabbed the first towel she saw, wrapping it around herself. Then, as quietly as she could, she walked out of the bedroom and quickly made her way across the entire main floor of the house to the guest room she’d been using. The lights were still on from earlier and as soon as she stepped inside and shut the door, she leaned against it with a long sigh, even as her heart was racing.

After a moment, she stepped away from the door and went to find her robe. She was just sliding it on when her door crashed open and there stood Jax in all his glory.

His body was…perfection. All muscles—but not too bulky—and he had a smattering of tattoos. He was built like the powerful athlete he was, and she’d never seen another man like him.

“Jax, I…”

Without a word, he advanced on her until he banded one arm around her waist, hauling her close. “I thought we talked about this. You were spending the night in my bed, Lucy.”

A shiver of delight raced down her spine at his possessive tone. “I was coming back,” she assured him. “I just remembered that I had left the light on, and if my brother came home earlier than planned, he would knock on the door if he could see the light.” She placed her hand on his chest. “Then I grabbed my robe and…here you are.”

Jax leaned forward, resting his forehead against hers. “Oh.”

Smiling, she said, “Remember earlier when you told me to be patient? Well…maybe you should take your own advice.”

He toyed with the edge of her robe. “I don’t know why you needed this.”

Laughing softly, Lucy shook her head. “Because I was chilly after running over here in a towel. Besides, in the morning, I don’t want to put my damp bathing suit back on, so…”

“So…you plan on still being with me in the morning?”

“At least until the sun comes up,” she replied honestly. “I have no idea how early Ty’s going to get back, and I’d really rather not have him see me coming out of your room.”

“I know,” he muttered. “Sneaking around isn’t what you deserve. I’m sorry.”

Smoothing her hand up to his face, she caressed his jaw. “I knew what I was doing, so there’s nothing to apologize for.”

“Still…”

“Jax?”

“What?”

“Take me back to bed. The sun will be up before we know it.”

Wordlessly, he took her by the hand and led her back across the house. The view of his bare ass was spectacular, and she had to fight the urge to giggle. Never in her life would she have imagined the two of them like this, but being here with him right now was totally worth it.

When they reached his bed, he turned and took her in his arms, kissing her deeply. Lucy felt herself melt against him. He was just so much bigger than her, it felt like he surrounded her.

And she liked it.

A lot.

Slowly, he peeled the robe from her body, letting it pool at her feet. Next, he sat on the bed and gently tugged her to join him. The feel of warm skin against warm skin had her humming appreciatively. With his hand firmly in place on her lower back, Jax maneuvered them until Lucy was lying on top of him. She grinned down at him even as she pushed up a little. It was a pretty empowering feeling to be the one in this position, she thought. The look on his face as he ran his hands achingly slowly up her torso until he cupped her breasts was quite possibly the biggest turn on of her life.

Covering his hands with hers, she whispered his name and waited for him to look up at her face. Gazes locked, Lucy thought it was the most perfect moment. She might never experience anything like this again, and she wanted it to last—to linger. But their bodies had other plans and she wasn’t interested in ignoring them because she knew the pleasure that awaited them. Leaning forward, she kissed him until they were both breathless, and thought Jax was the best kisser she’d ever known. Then his hands began to roam, and she thought he had the greatest hands.

And after that, she could barely think at all, and she simply gave herself over to enjoying what little was left of the night.

At some point, they fell asleep and it was a noise in the distance that woke her up. Lifting her head, she glanced at the bedside clock and saw it was eight o’clock!
