ruthless efficiency. In a flash, her clothes were tugged off and his tossed aside. The room was cool, her skin pebbling. The heat of his body surrounded her. This time when he stretched over her, she gasped at the feel of his heated skin against hers. He stroked a hand roughly through her hair. Holding still for a moment, he met her eyes, his gaze hot and electric. Cupping her cheek, he brought his lips to hers again, his thumb coasting over her pulse as he stroked down her neck, traced the line of her collarbone and dipped to curl around her breast.
    The low charge that hummed within her whenever he was near exploded, molten heat erupting in her center and spiraling outward. She felt his touch everywhere at once. His lips teasing her ear and blazing a trail down her neck. His fingers rolling her nipples between them, softly tugging and nipping. Kisses dusted all over her body, his hands soft and hard at once, the roughened skin driving her mad. The tip of his cock at her entrance, making her ache for him to be inside of her.
    She couldn’t get close enough, her hands skating over his hard, muscled body, scoring his back with her nails. When he reached for the condom he’d tossed on the nightstand, she grabbed his arm. “There’s no need. I’m on the pill.”
    Jake froze, his head turning slowly to her. “Phoebe…”
    She suddenly felt self-conscious. She simply wanted to be as close to him as she could, no barriers. And there really was no need. Despite her discomfort, she’d started this, so she had to see it through. “Jake, there’s no point to it. I’m on the pill, and I can barely remember the last time I had sex before you. I’m clean. I know you are too. If you insist…”
    His lips curled in heated smile before he claimed her mouth again. Though she couldn’t have fathomed it, he proceeded to notch the heat between them higher and higher. His touch became rougher, less measured. She writhed and flexed underneath him, desperate to feel him inside of her. His lips grazed down her neck again. He tugged her hands up, pinning them above her head. When she arched into him, his lips closed around a nipple, his teeth nipping, the soft bite drawing a cry from her.
    “Jake…please…”
    He murmured a reply against her breast and lifted his head. She lost herself in his dark blue gaze as he slowly shifted his hips, the tip of his cock teasing her entrance, drenched with want. Her breath came in ragged gasps as he teased her beyond sanity. When she spoke his name again, he surged inside, to the hilt, in one swift move. The pressure built higher and higher inside of her. He stroked into and out of her completely each time, stretching and filling her over and over again. Tremors spiraled outward from her center until she shattered, her climax wrenching through her. He swallowed her cries in his mouth, gasping into hers as he surged into her one last time, shuddering against her. His mouth stilled and pulled away. He rested his forehead against hers. Their ragged breathing filled the room and slowed in unison. They were still until Jake slowly released his grip on her wrists and stroked his hand down her side, tracing her curves.
    “You’re getting cold,” he murmured before slowly pulling out of her and rolling to the side to tug the covers out from under them. In seconds, she was curled in his arms under the comforter, his warmth filtering through her.

Chapter 10

    Jake glanced around as he and Dane walked up to Hayden Thorne’s office. The office building sat against the foothills of the mountains encircling Bozeman. A fresh dusting of snow had fallen during the night. A soft mist hung in the cold air as the sun crested above the mountains, glittering the landscape where it struck sparks on the snow. He kicked his boots against the threshold to knock the clinging snow off as they stepped inside. Dane followed suit. The office was quiet and the reception desk empty. Dane tapped the bell that sat on the
