More Than One Night (4 page)

With a groan, he broke the kiss. He gazed down at her desire-filled eyes. “Now what?”

“Bed, please.”

“Your wish is my command.” She let out a squeal of surprise when he lifted her into his arms.

But she didn’t protest, instead she nestled against him, her head resting on his shoulder. His ego swelled along with his cock. Once inside, he set her on her feet to pull back the covers, then he toed off his shoes and tugged off his socks. When he straightened, his gut clenched.

She’d removed her blouse, skirt, hose and shoes, she stood there in a lacy bra and panties.

Taking a deep breath, lifted her into his arms and placed her on his bed. A surge of pure male satisfaction swept through him at having her hair spread out over his pillows.

“Say the word
red
if you start to feel uncomfortable or unsure of anything.”

“Okay,” she whispered.

Jake stripped off his shirt before kneeling on the bed and leaning over Beth.

He started at her shoulder, placing kisses over her skin, down to her breasts. She let out a small gasp.

Lifting his head, their gazes clashed. “Good gasp or bad gasp?”

“Good, very good.”

He grinned at her before lowering his head once again and began raining kisses over her breasts and nipples. Her fingers dug into his hair when he covered one breast with his mouth.

Her fingers tightened, holding him to her as he laved her nipple, before moving to her other breast. When her body quivered, he moved on.

Kissing his way down her abdomen, past her belly button, her fingers slipped from his hair as he kissed the top of her thighs, then all the way down to her toes.

Turning his head, he gazed up at her. Damn if this woman didn’t have nice legs. Hell nice everything. His cock strained in his pants.

Her chest rose with rapid breaths and her body flushed, she was aroused. Good. Kissing his way back up her legs, he paused at the scrap of lace covering her pussy. Then he placed an open mouth kiss over her slit.

Her legs stiffened, then spread apart and he grinned before kissing his way back up to her lips. His lips hovered above hers.

“Someone has too many clothes on.”

“And what are you going to do about it?” he asked, before propping himself up on his elbow.

She worried her lower lip between her teeth, before she sat up. Placing her hands on his shoulders, pushing him until he was on his back.

Sitting up, she leaned over him and brushed her lips against his, but before he could deepen the kiss, she moved away and began kissing her way down his body, opening his shirt.

Oh shit.
His fingers curled into fists when her tongue swept over his nipples, then on down to the waist band of his trousers.

Beth sat up on her knees, her breasts swaying. She tucked one hand under his pants, as her other loosened his belt, and drew it off. It clanged when it hit the floor.

Then she was lowering the zipper. “Lift your hips, please,” her husky voice floated in the room.

He did as she asked, and she whisked off his pants and boxers in one swift move.

His cock bounced up, hard and wanting.

“I think he’s a bit anxious.” There was laughter in her voice.

Jake started to grin, but a groan escaped his lips instead. She’d lowered her head and took him deep within her mouth. His cock hardened further, he would explode if she kept sucking him.

Guiding her head away from his throbbing dick, Jake pulled her up to his mouth, taking hers in a hard, deep kiss. Her palms slid over his shoulders, gripping him. Gently, he rolled her onto her back and began kissing his way down her body again.

His fingers dipped beneath the elastic band of her panties and with a hard tug, they side down her legs and he tossed them over his shoulder.

“Gorgeous,” he whispered, staring at her flushed body. Her chest rose and fell with short erratic breaths, her lips swollen from his kisses, and her eyes alight with desire. She looked like a goddess waiting for her love and he was going to love her.

Jake trailed his lips down the outside of her left leg, then over the tops of her feet, then up her right leg. By the time he reached her hip, she was squirming on the sheets.

Slipping his hands inside her thighs, he nudged them apart. “Jake, please.” Her voice was soft but filled with wanting.

“Please what?” He leaned closer and her legs widened further. He blew against her slit.

“Oh my.” Her hips bucked. He watched her face as his tongue darted out to taste her moist sex. “You…I…” Her lashes drifted shut, and her mouth opened.

“Yes, you and I. I promised to kiss you all over and I meant it.” He didn’t wait for a response. He lowered his head, his tongue licking her pussy, tasting her sweet honey. His palms gripped her hips to keep her still, then his tongue delved in further, teasing her until her pussy pulsed. He slipped two fingers into her wet pussy while his tongue found her clit and began licking it. He was going to drive her wild then fuck her until the sun rose.

Beth couldn’t get enough air into her lungs. She couldn’t believe Jake was doing this to her. Making her so damn hot and wanton. They’d just met for goodness sake, but on some level she trusted him or she wouldn’t have gone to his apartment.

But he was killing her with his mouth. His lips were probably registered as a lethal weapon. His tongue licked, thrust and tasted her pussy, making her squirm against the mattress.

His palms tightened on her hips, but she couldn’t help wiggling. He was driving her crazy, no man had ever taken this much time licking her pussy. Usually it was a swipe or two.

His tongue flicked against her clit and she cried out at the powerful sensations flowing through her veins. Her stomach quivered and her muscles tightened. Then Jake pushed three fingers into her as he sucked on her clit.

Her pussy muscles clamped down on his fingers as her climax flowed. Red mixed with orange and gold, then purple colors exploded behind her closed eye lids. Pure hot pleasure shot through her body, causing her to tense up before going limp.

Jake slid his fingers from her pussy, then kissed his way back up her body. Her skin was so sensitive now she didn’t think she could take more of him kissing her.

“Jake.” His name came out in a strangled tone.

“Yes, sweetheart.”

Forcing her lashes to lift, Beth started at him. He had a sexy, devilish grin on his face. He knew what he was doing to her. She’d only had three lovers in her life, and none of them made her feel this good, this boneless, and wanting more.

“Make love to me,” she whispered. She wanted to feel him inside her, thrusting against her, taking her even higher.

“I am.”

“No, you’re teasing me. Take me, Jake. I want your cock in me.”

His grin widened. “Your wish is my command.” He reached over and opened the nightstand drawer.

Beth kept her gaze on Jake as he slipped a condom on, then poised over her. “Incredible, sexy siren.” His hard erection nudged against her entrance.

Her legs wrapped around his hips.

“Easy sweetheart.” Jake eased inside her, and Beth wanted to yell at him. She didn’t want it slow, she wanted fast and hard. She tightened her legs around him.

“You’re so tight, I don’t want to hurt you.” His moist breath brushed over her cheeks.

“You won’t. Come into me, Jake. Hard and fast. I need you.” She tightened her legs more and her hips rose.

Jake let out a groan and sank into her. Her mouth opened and all the air in her lungs rushed out.

“God, you feel so good,” she whispered. “So hard, so strong and so damn good.”

“Let’s see what I can do to make it even better.” He rolled his hips and Beth sighed in pleasure.

Jake began thrusting in and out of her pussy, she enjoyed every sensation of his cock sliding through her pussy, but she wanted him. Her body demanded it.

“You’re not playing fair.” Her nails curled into his shoulders when he licked her nipples and slid back into her core.

“I play to win.” His lips covered hers in a brief, hard kiss.

“Is that a challenge?” Her hips arched, taking more of him into her.

“Could be.” He thrust harder and Beth’s hips arched. God, his cock was hard, hot and stretched her. Nerve endings came alive under his thrusting and she wanted him. All of him.

“That’s it, give it to me, Jake.”

“Hold on, sweetheart, I don’t think I can hold off any longer.”

He pulled back then thrust back into her. Beth closed her eyes and let her body take over. Within minutes her stomach tightened, her muscles clamped down on his cock in her pussy. She was going to…she cried out as another climax washed through her body.

But Jake didn’t stop, he kept thrusting harder, faster, and her body was loving every second of it. As her third climax of the night hit, Jake cried out, every muscle in him stiffened above her, his mouth open, his breath hot and fast. She’d never seen a more beautiful sight.

Her pussy clenched around his cock as he sagged against her. He kept his weight on his elbows so not to crush her. Then he rolled onto his side taking her with him.

His harsh breathing was music to her ears. She laid against his chest, listening to his heat beating, never feeling so content in her life. Sex had never been like this for her. Never this explosive and she didn’t want to move.

“You’re one explosive woman,” he whispered, fingers under her chin lifting her face for a soft kiss.

“It’s never been like that for me.” He trailed his fingers up her spine and she shivered in anticipation.

“It proves when two people are meant to be together their bodies know it.” He started to roll her onto her back.

“Let’s just lay here for a few more minutes.”

“I really should get rid of the condom.”

Beth let out a sigh, and rolled onto her back as Jake eased himself from her body. Grabbing some tissues, he disposed of the condom, then cradled her against his side.

Her fingers traced circles on his stomach, slowly going lower until she found his cock. With a light touch, she stroked him.

“Keep that up and we’re going to get to round two sooner rather than later.”

She tilted her head up and smiled at him. “Sounds good to me.” Then she wiggled down until she could take his cock in her mouth.

He gasped out her name.

Jake woke to blinding sunlight. Hell, he’d forgotten to close the bedroom drapes the night before. Oh and what a night it was. Making love to Beth last night had only whetted his appetite. Keeping his eyes closed and with a smile on his lips, he reached for Beth. A frown replaced his smile, when it finally penetrated his brain that the sheets next to him were cold.

She was probably just in the bathroom. A grin overtook his lips. He’d never found a woman who was part innocent and part siren. She matched him in stamina and then some. Of course, he’d done things a little backward—sex before courting her. He couldn’t help himself last night, all he could think about was making her his.

But he could fix his hastiness. First, breakfast together, then he’d ask her out on a real date. He’d take her to his favorite Italian restaurant in North Beach, then they could stroll on the wharf for a while, and if she permitted, they’d make love again in his bed.

“Beth?” What was taking her so long? No answer. The sheet pooled at his groin when he sat up. Climbing out of bed, he stepped over his discarded clothing, three empty condom packets and padded naked to the bathroom.

She wasn’t in the bathroom. His heart pounded as he strode back into the bedroom, he reached for his boxers and stopped. Her clothes were gone. After slipping on his underwear, he went to the front door.

Unlocked. She’d left him. Why? He threw the deadbolt and strode into the kitchen. Had the perfect woman just slipped through his fingers? A woman who cared about the man and not the money? He wasn’t going to let her escape him. But first he needed coffee, then he’d go after his woman. Because she was his. He put started the coffee pot, then grabbed his phone.

“Hi, Greg. Yeah, I know it’s only eight. And yes, I know it’s Saturday, but I need a favor. Can you come over to my place? I need you to use some of your special finding ability.” Jake ran his fingers through his hair as he listened to Greg grumble and tell him it was going to cost him, then finally agree. “Thanks, buddy, see you in an hour.”

Jake hung up before Greg could say more. Beth wasn’t going to get away from him. His perfect woman would find he didn’t give up easily. And as odd as it sounded, he lost a piece of his heart last night and he wanted Beth to make him whole again. Besides, he always got what he wanted.

And he wanted her. Both in and out of bed.

Chapter Three

Beth unlocked her front door with damp palms at seven in the morning. She stepped inside, dropped her purse on the small hall table before covering her face with her hands. What had she done? A small bark caught her attention, she lower her hands and gazed at the small brown and tan dog who sat on the floor glaring at her.

“I’m sorry, Rosie.” Forgetting her own turmoil, she walked into the kitchen and fed her dog. Rosie turned her nose up in the air at the food.

Beth sighed. “Angry at me for not coming home last night?” Kneeling down on the tile, she stroked her dog’s head. “I know I shouldn’t have stayed out all night, let alone gone home with a man I knew nothing about. But there was something about him, Rosie.”

Heat flooded her veins as she remembered the way Jake stroked her skin. A shiver went through up her spine. And his voice, so husky with passion when he told her how beautiful and sexy she was, still made her knees go weak. But she was scared. He was so good to her, too good and rich. While the idea of his money bothered her, it was the way he treated her causing her skin to chill.

Men were only nice for one reason. Their own satisfaction. Jake hadn’t been like that. He’d made sure she was ready for him and she’d practically been panting for his brand of loving.

“It isn’t fair, Rosie. Men have one-night stands all the time and remain unaffected. Why can’t I?” Rosie cocked her head then barked. “You’re right. I need to chalk it up to experience.” Could she do that? Probably not. The multiple orgasms Jake gave her would haunt her for the rest of her life.
