I’m never going to let her go.
Chapter 14
Holy orgasm, Batman!
Ellie smiled as she looked up at Lucky from his bed. Floating on a cloud of trembling, post-climactic pleasure, she thought about their earlier conversation. She’d told him he wasn’t a superhero, but damn if she wasn’t starting to think maybe she was wrong.
So very wrong.
“That was…”
Words seemed to momentarily escape her. Lucky, on the other hand, had no problem speaking exactly what he was thinking.
“Fucking beautiful.”
She blinked, the crass growl catching her a bit by surprise. Even more shocking than the man’s blunt assessment of the powerful orgasm was the way her inner muscles clenched with renewed hunger so soon after.
Ellie had always been a one and done kind of girl. And sometimes, depending on the guy, she didn’t even get the one. But here she was, her body still electrified by the strongest, most incredible climax of her life, and she was ready to goagain?
This never happened. Like,never. And yet…
I need more of him. I wantallof him.
As she lay there, watching the carnally talented man shed his tented sweats and boxer briefs in one fell swoop, Ellie knew deep down, one night with Jason Lucas would never be enough.
It has to be enough.
His magnificent cock sprang forward, jutting out from the juncture of his sculpted thighs. His entire body was like that—hard. Chiseled. Strong.Long.
Lord have mercy.
The man wasn’t just tall, dark, and muscular. And he wasn’t just beautiful. As if the former Navy SEAL wasn’t perfect enough, he’d also been quite blessed in the length—and girth—department.
Saliva filled her mouth as she imagined herself licking every shadowed dip and curve outlining his muscular form. And when Lucky turned unabashedly toward the nightstand closest to where he’d been standing, Ellie committed the sight of his statuesque back and perfectly toned ass to memory.
They may only have this one night together, but that didn’t mean she’d ever forget.
He opened the top drawer and pulled out what she assumed was a box of condoms. She tried not to think about why he had it so readily available. After all, it wasn’t like she could judge the man for being safeorhaving a sex life before tonight.
She always,alwaystook precautions when it came to sex. She got the shot for birth control and had never even considered not using a condom. And while the number of men from her past was less than impressive—especially over the course of the last several months—it wasn’t as if this was her first sexual encounter.
It most definitely wasn’t his.
Given that she and Lucky were in their early thirties, so it was perfectly natural for them to have a history with other people. Not to mention, they weren’t even an actual couple. It wasn’t like they were dating or anything. Like she’d told him earlier, back in his office…
It doesn’t have to mean anything.
Except…
This already means something to me.
Something big and scary as hell. Something Ellie never thought she’d ever allow herself to feel. The one thing she’d spent her entire adult life afraid to let herself desire.
But tonight, as she lay in the quiet of this stolen moment, Ellie let herself crave and need all the things she’d forsaken in the past. Tonight, she allowed herself to feel wanted.
And for the first time in forever, Ellie gave herself permission to feel…loved.
Oh, she knew Lucky didn’t love her. They really didn’t even know each other that well. Definitely not as well as a couple in love. But since they were already doing what they were doing…
