strokes or featherlight touches.
But at the same time careful that every caress brought her pleasure.
“Fuck, Bec. You’re sexy as hell.”
He captured her cry of release with a deep kiss, and she reveled in it as wave after wave of ecstasy surged through her. Pushing her to her feet, he bent her over forcing her to grip the railing for balance. The sheet bunched at her waist leaving her ass bare and before she could gasp, he drove in hard.
Not caring about anything but the feel of him around her and in her, she forgot about everything else. Her world narrowed to Jake and she was happy to let him take over.
His release was fast, hard and right on the heels of her own climax. Trembling, she tried to stay on her own feet, but then he picked her up and carried her back inside.
Coherent thought wasn’t possible, but the last thing she remembered before passing out in his arms was that she would never be the same again.

“Becca. Darlin’.” She heard a voice then felt a hand slide through her hair. She blinked open her eyes and abruptly sat up. Jake sat on the edge of the bed, a hat on backward and fully dressed.
She clutched the sheet to her chest, although it didn’t make much sense after the way they spent the night. He knew every inch of her and they had sex countless number of times.
“Babe, I gotta go. Our flight leaves out early.”
She frowned. “You have to leave?” She glanced out the still open drapes and the sun hinted at rising up over the water.
“Yeah.” He pulled her closer and his thumb grazed her lower lip.
She resisted the urge to ask him to stay longer. Like, forever. She swallowed hard at how ridiculous that was. But she was sure it was in her eyes, because he gripped the back of her neck and pulled her in close for a deep kiss. He tasted of mint and his clean scent wrapped around her. Forgetting about the sheet, she gripped his shirt, letting all the words she knew she wouldn’t say come through in her kiss.
When his phone started vibrating in his pocket, he pulled back. “Damn. I really have to go.”
She nodded, not trusting her voice. As stupid as it was, she felt like she was splitting in two. Like a part of her was going to trot out the door with him. He kissed her again and she tried not to cling. But God, it was hard.
He stared at her as he headed toward the door, stopped suddenly then walked back to her. The intensity in his gaze as he looked down at her made her breath catch.
“Fly out to Tulsa next weekend.”
“What?” she asked, her stomach doing a nervous flip-flop.
“I know, it’s nuts.” He pulled off his hat and raked a hand through his damp hair before shoving it back on. “Do it anyway. Tell me you will.”
He was serious. He wanted her to come to him and she found herself nodding.
“Yes. I-I don’t know if I can next weekend, but I will.”
“Soon then?”
“Yes. Soon.”
He leaned down to kiss her firmly one more time. This time he had that sexy half-smile on his face as he walked out the door.
Becca stared at the shut door, her hands fisting in the sheets. She must be out of her mind. Why had she just agreed to fly to him?

Because you already miss him .
She swallowed hard. Oh, God, she did. Biting her lip, she stared at the mess of the room. Most of the blankets were on the floor and only one pillow was on the bed.
Wrapping the sheet around her and tucking it under her arms she got up and padded towards the sliding glass door. Every muscle in her body ached deliciously as she opened the door and stepped out onto the balcony where just hours ago she had screamed his name. She curled up in the same chair where he had held her. The sun slowly rose, a bright orange ball reflecting off the deep blue of the ocean.
Muscles weren’t the only thing that ached. Somewhere inside she felt a loss. She wanted him with her to watch the sunrise. How had he made such an impact in such a short amount of
