ass. Your mouth.” His eyes darkened, and he smiled, an expression bordering on mean. “I like it a little rough, as you just learned from personal experience. From the way you hugged me tight, I think you liked it.”
“I did.” She found it hard to breathe. She didn’t think any man had ever looked at her the way Brad was. With possession and a hint of cruelty that should have freaked her out. Instead, it made her want to bring that mean streak out, to see what he was made of.
“So what do you say? I’m clean. I don’t play around, and while you and I are exploring each other, for as long as we want to be together, it’ll just be you and me.”
“Right. Just you and me.” He might have been charming and dated others, but not at the same time. He didn’t have a reputation as a philanderer.
“What do you say?” Brad dragged his hand down her belly and rested it over her mound. A sneaky finger inched over her clit and began to rub. So slowly, yet the touch seemed to hit the very center of that sensitive bundle of nerves. “L et me come in you. I’ll take such good care of you, you’ll be coming so hard you won’t be able to sit straight for a week.”
To her shock, he slapped her pussy.
The sensation rocked her into what felt like a mini-orgasm, and she froze on a strangled cry.
“Answer me, Jenny.” He slapped her again, not hard, but enough to sting her clit.
The slight pain should have made her draw back. Instead, the fiery spark traveled throughout her body and made her nipples that much more sensitive, so when he leaned down to suck one again, she gripped his head to her.
His low chuckle around her breast forced her to ease up. “ Brad. You…you… God. You slapped me.”
He raised his head to stare at her, his finger once against rubbing softly over her clit. “I’ll do it again and again, then I’ll fuck you. And when I’m filling you up, you’ll be coming around me, getting me nice and wet.” He kissed her, penetrating with his skillful tongue. “What’s it going to be?”
“You swear you’re safe?” she asked again, nervous about letting him inside with nothing between them. This felt like so much more than a casual romp between friends, now lovers. This intimacy meant something to her, even if it was no more than sex to him.
But he didn’t look at her as if he viewed her as a sexual means to an end.
“Yeah, baby.” His kiss soothed, gentled. “I’d never hurt you like that. I might be a lot of things, but I’m not a liar, a cheat, or a guy who kisses and tells. This is just between us. I don’t want to do you because I’m horny or desperate. I just want…you.”
She stared into his eyes, losing herself in the depths of his sincerity and his lust, and answered, “Yes.”
Chapter Seven
Brad had been waiting for her for what felt like forever. It was a huge deal to him to come inside a woman without using anything. He’d feared getting trapped into marriage with an unwanted pregnancy, having heard the horror stories from friends. Then he’d gone out on a limb and really trusted a woman—and been flattened. So he’d resumed his affairs by always keeping his heart separate and his body physically protected.
But Jenny meant more. He couldn’t explain it. He just knew.
Her yes meant the world to him, especially because she didn’t seem like a woman to grant her favors freely. She liked sex and made no bones about it. But she hadn’t acted on any of the many invites she’d gotten since arriving on the base. He knew—he’d asked around.
She’d accepted him, though.
Lying there, watching him with trust shining in her eyes, she unknowingly wiggled her way under another layer of shields guarding his heart.
“You have no idea how happy I am right now,” he said.
She smiled and rolled onto her side then took his cock in hand. “Oh, I think I do.”
He sucked in a breath when she stroked him, careful yet firm. “I want to watch you swallow
