this out a little. Thought it would be romantic. Turns out, it’s kind of hard to do a kiss justice from this angle.”
“Oh, I think you did it justice just fine.” I curled my hand around his neck and pressed my mouth against his.
Chapter 12
-Jacy-
The kiss on the Ferris wheel had started out gentle, light, but by the time the ride had unloaded, we were done with the crowded carnival. Ledger had driven back to the beach as fast as his ramshackle truck would carry us. He slammed it into park in the first available spot.
I held my toy under one arm and grabbed his hand with the other. I led him along the brick pathway to my door. My mind was buzzing and my fingers were trembling with anticipation of what might come next. The simple task of getting a key in the door took comically long. A nervous laugh bubbled from my mouth.
“Need some help?” The anxious edge in his tone matched how I felt. I was relieved to see that he was feeling the same.
“Nope, got it.” The door lock clicked open.
Before we’d even left the front stoop, Ledger pulled me into his arms. The oversized, plush giraffe got accidentally wedged between our bodies as we frantically grabbed each other, barely taking the time to part lips as we stumbled inside the house.
Ledger reached between us and dislodged Newton, before slipping his hands beneath my shirt. His fingers felt delicious as he smoothed them over my back.
I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and my lips parted naturally, waiting for his deep, long kiss. He accepted my invitation and his mouth devoured mine as I softened against him, suddenly wanting nothing more than to have him touch every inch of me. I could feel his erection, pressing against the front of his jeans, hard and tense with expectation. I hadn’t realized how long I’d been craving this kind of intimacy until now. I was sure it had more to do with the man holding me than anything else. Everything about Ledger had awakened feelings and thoughts that I’d kept hidden, locked in a dark box, only to be opened by the right man. And it seemed I’d found him.
I felt as if I was making it clear that I wanted him to touch and kiss every inch of me, but it seemed he was holding back, unsure of how far he could go.
“Jacy”—his warm breath caressed my cheek as he spoke—“having you in my arms is the best damn thing that’s happened to me in a very long time.”
“Then don’t let go.” My voice came out on a whisper.
He wrapped his hands around my waist and backed me against the front door. He pressed his palms on the door, one on each side of me. I was trapped in his circle of arms. Hot tension came off his body in waves. It seemed he’d taken his hands off me to gain control, to slow down. His brown eyes were glazed heavy with desire, and his chest was heaving with breaths as he leaned his forehead against mine.
“If you’re not ready for this, Jacy, just say the word.” He lifted his face from mine. “It’s completely up to you.”
I peered up at him. My pulse was pounding, and my pussy was already wet and warm with wanting him. “Do you want this?”
A tilted smile tipped his mouth as he gazed down at me. “Jacy, if you had any idea how long and how badly I’ve wanted this—” He stopped himself and gazed down at me with worry, as if he’d said something wrong.
I smiled. My lips felt tender from his kisses. “Well, considering we’ve only know each other a week—Still, I’ll take that as a yes.” I grabbed the bottom edge of his shirt and pushed it up above his chest. He reached back and yanked it off over his head.
He was a powerful masterpiece of muscle and ink and looking at him shirtless, standing close enough to feel the heat of his body, caused the ache between my legs to intensify.
I pressed my mouth against his chest and kissed him. There hadn’t been even a flicker of doubt in my mind. I hadn’t allowed it. I needed this. I lifted my face to him. “I want this,
