Well, hell.
“I should’ve said something sooner.” His eyebrows pulled inward. “We’ve waisted so much time.”
“We’re here now.” She moved into his touch. “You’re here, and I’m not going anywhere.”
“Sophie...”
“Make love to me, Jason. Please.”
Jason slid his hand under her hair and leaned over her. His lips found hers in a barely controlled kiss.
She wasn’t tall, a full foot shorter than him. He’d have to take his time and go slow. Use a gentle touch, and not give in to the raging caveman begging to be set free.
The last thing he ever wanted to do was hurt her. Not his Sophie. And he was finally realizing...finally accepting...that she was his.
Or at least she was about to be.
Sophie was warm and kind with a beautiful smile and a mouth that could make him laugh. And she was smart. Much smarter than him, apparently.
He’d spent a decade denying himself the chance to be happy, and in one soul-bearing conversation, she’d made him see that he deserved more.
He didn’t deserveher.Jason knew that to the very depths of his soul. Sophia Ruiz was much too good for a man like him.
But Jason also knew he was a selfish asshole. He’d loved this woman from a distance for far too long. And like she’d just said, she was here...and she wanted him.
Make love to me Jason. Please.
No matter what he did in life, he would never be good enough for her. That wasn’t something he had the power to change.
But he was tired of running from life. Fromlove.And that was something hecouldchange. Starting now.
Everything Jason had always wanted was right there. All he had to do was reach out and take it.
Which was exactly what he intended to do.
Sophie opened her mouth to him. Her tongue met his in an explosion of sweetness and pleasure. Jason swallowed her moan as he took the kiss deeper.
She moved her hands up, grabbing hold of his shoulders to keep herself steady. With his hand on her lower back, he pressed their bodies even closer together.
His aching erection pressed against her belly. Her firm breasts molded against his chest. It was everything and not enough, all at the same time.
With his mouth still on hers, Jason guided them onto the mattress. He lay on his back, pulling her on top as her thighs reflexively straddled his.
Sophie’s soft waves fell over their faces, like a curtain shutting out the rest of the world. In an unexpected move, she sat up. Tearing her lips from his, she carefully removed her scrub top and bra.
The bandage covering the wound on her left arm filled him with rage. But the rest of her...
“Jesus,” Jason choked out the sentiment when he caught sight of her bare breasts for the very first time.
They were perfectly proportioned to her petite body. Her nipples were the color of a dusky rose, exactly as he’d pictured them in his mind so many times before.
They were tight and reaching for him from the center of her firm globes, and he couldn’tnottouch them a second longer.
Jason lifted his hands, filling them with her offering. Sophie closed her eyes and let her head fall back, the sight alone damn near causing him to come in his pants right then.
“Perfect.” He sat up, taking one of the taut nubs between his lips before teasing it with his teeth. “You’re so fucking perfect.”
“Jason!”
