Chapter 25 #2
He kicked the door closed and made a beeline directly to his bedroom where they came down on the bed in a wild burst of passion that had teeth colliding with lips.
“Ow,” she said, smiling at him.
He shook his head and cracked a big grin. “Let’s try this again with some finesse this time, shall we?”
“Yes, we shall.”
“How does this sexy dress come off?”
“Over the head.”
He reached under the hem and slid the dress up, setting her on fire with his touch as his hands moved over her sensitive skin. By the time the dress cleared her head, she was trembling.
“Mmm, what a sight.” His gaze moved over her with barely constrained hunger that only added to her desire. That he wanted her so badly was almost unbearably exciting.
She’d worn a sheer red bra and matching panties that had his full attention.
“I still can’t believe that a sweet, sexy goddess like you is in my bed.”
“Why can’t you believe it?”
“You’re way, way out of my league.”
It pained her to hear him say that. She rested a hand on his face and compelled him to look at her. “No, I’m not. Your league is the best one I’ve ever been in—kind and sweet and thoughtful and funny and sexy and loyal. I’ve never had anything like you.”
“You’ve definitely got me. When you left, I thought I’d lose my mind. I was so afraid I’d never see you again.”
“That wouldn’t have happened. All I could think about was getting back here to you, even after Gigi said…”
“What did Gigi say?”
“Nothing. It’s not important.”
He kissed her neck and rolled her earlobe between his teeth, sending a jolt of pure need cascading through her that settled into an intense throb between her legs. “Tell me.”
“She said no one falls for the second guy they sleep with.”
“You never told me I was only the second.”
“I told you that.”
He shook his head.
“Well, you are.”
“What did you say when Gigi said that?” he asked as he kissed her throat and chest.
Jordan squirmed as she tried to get him to focus on the places that burned with need. “I said it can happen.”
“Has it happened to you?”
She nodded, thrilling in the relief that overtook his adorable expression.
“Really?”
“Really.”
“That’s exceptionally good news, because I’m crazy about you, Jordan. So crazy, I had a little sobriety challenge after you left.”
“What? You did? What happened?”
“Nothing, but it was a struggle not to give in to old demons when I thought maybe I’d lost you.”
“You never lost me. You could never lose me. You not only saved my life, but you showed me something so much better than I ever knew existed. I was always going to come back. I swear.”
He found the front clasp of her bra and released it, his eyes going hot with desire as he gazed at her bare breasts.
Jordan’s nipples tightened in anticipation, and he didn’t disappoint, taking her right nipple into the warmth of his mouth. For what felt like hours, he focused only on her breasts, licking, sucking, tugging, kissing. He made her crazy with everything he did. “Mason.”
“Hmm?”
“Hurry.”
“I’m in no hurry.”
“Ugh.”
He laughed and moved down to her belly. Before she caught up to him, he had her panties off and her leg hooked around his neck as he destroyed her with his lips, tongue and fingers.
She came so hard, she saw fireworks behind her closed eyes, which flew open when she felt the hard press of his cock against her sensitive flesh.
“Easy, baby. Nice and easy. Let me love you.”
Jordan gave him everything she had, heart and soul, as he made passionate love to her, holding her just right as he filled her to capacity.
“So good,” he whispered. “So hot and tight and sexy.” He grasped her ass in one big hand and pushed hard into her, triggering a full-body orgasm that made her scream from the pleasure that overtook them both.
He came down on top of her, holding her while their bodies cooled and trembled. “I love you. Maybe it’s too soon or too much or whatever, but it’s true. I love you.”
“I love you, too. And I don’t care that you’re the second guy I ever slept with. I’m wise enough to know I’ll never find anyone better than you.”
He hugged her so tight, she could barely breathe, but being breathless had never felt better. “What about the show and everything in LA?”
“I pitched the idea of doing it here.”
“What did they say?”
“Our meeting was interrupted when I got the call from Riley about what was happening here.” She ran her fingers through his hair as she gazed up at him.
“But it doesn’t matter what they say. I’m here to stay.
If they don’t want to do the show here, I’ll sell my house in LA and buy out my contract.
I have options, and it’s time I take control of my life and do exactly what I want. And what I want is you.”
Mason leaned his forehead on hers. “Best words I’ve ever heard.”
“I’m worried about the sobriety challenge. What happened?”
“I aired it out in a meeting and worked the program, which is what keeps us sober when things go sideways. I told them about you, that I was in love with you and worried we weren’t going to be able to make it work.
” He rolled to his side, bringing her with him and smoothing the hair back from her face.
“I told them it’d taken me a really long time to find perfect, and it was terrifying to think about losing you. ”
“You’re not going to lose me.”
“Hearing that makes me happier than I’ve ever been.”
“I want you to know you can always talk to me about the challenge of maintaining your sobriety. I’ll always want to hear when you’re struggling and do anything I can to help.”
“Having you here with me, in my life, in my arms and in my bed is the best incentive I could ever have to stay sober.”
“Don’t do it for me. You have to do it for yourself first and foremost.”
“I know, and I will, but you give me added incentive.”
She smiled at him. “I’m happy to be your incentive.”
“I’m happy to be your everything.”
