“You’re the kind of man who gave up the life he knew for his country. You risked yourself to save my friend.” She rose up, her lips a hair’s breadth away from his. “You risked your life for me.”
I’d risk everything for you.
“Jenna—”
“That’sthe kind of man I want to be with. That’s the kind of man I can see myself falling for.”
His heart punched his ribs like a prize fighter. “Be sure, baby. You need to be sure.”
Because he was pretty sure he’d already fallen.
“Iamsure, Adrian.” Her lips whispered across his as she spoke. “I want you.” A simple kiss. “I want all of you.”
And just like that, his control snapped.
Adrian slammed his mouth against hers in a kiss that ignited his soul. He tasted and took, and when she opened for him, he wasted no time feasting on what was his.
Mine!
Jenna melted in his arms. A tiny moan escaped her throat, and like the greedy bastard he was, he swallowed it whole.
Releasing a guttural sound of his own, Adrian reached between them, releasing the tie on her silky robe. He reached up, gently pushing the material off her delicate shoulders and letting it fall.
A second later, the garment was lying in a pool of satin by her feet, and she was standing before him, completely naked.
Fuck. Me.
He sucked in a breath and stared. Yes, he’d already seen her without her clothes, but that night had been a whirlwind of hard, fast, primal sex.
Tonight, he wanted to take things slow. He needed to savor every second he had with this amazing woman and relish in the fact that—though he’ll never understand why—she’d chosen him.
Adrian took a moment to let his gaze fall over every visible inch of her. “Jesus, you’re beautiful.” His eyes met hers once more.
A slight blush crept into her cheeks, but then she smiled and arched a single brow. “And you’re overdressed.”
Easy fix.
Moving with lightning speed, he stripped himself of his shoes and clothes. He thought of the new box of condoms he’d packed for the trip here—on the off-chance Jenna forgave him and invited him back into her bed.
What was it his high school shop teacher always said?Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance.
But, looking at the woman before him, Adrian decided the condom could wait. He needed to make this anunforgettableperformance. Not just a quick fuck.
She deserved nothing less.
Scooping her up, he carried her the two feet to the bed and laid her down in the center. He took one more precious second to soak up the way she looked right then, committing the image to memory.
Jenna was sprawled out on the mattress, her red, wavy hair fanning around her head. Her firm breasts and rock-hard nipples rose with each breath.
It was as if they were reaching for him. As if they were as desperate to be touched as he was to touch them.
Then shedidreach for him.
“Make love to me, Adrian,” She rasped, her voice deepening with desire.
Make love.
His swollen cock twitched, and his heart raced. He didn’t make love. Hefucked. And he was damn good at fucking.
