against her that she felt the first tremors of her orgasm take over. She moaned and tightened her body, preparing.
Before she shattered to pieces, Harm immediately sat on the bed and pulled her back against his chest. He let out a strained growl as he lowered her hips over his thighs and slid his cock inside her. Back to chest, soft thighs surrounding his rock hard ones, Jena gasped in sheer delight. Her muscles flexed as she lifted herself up and down, enjoying the hard fullness, taking her…possessing her, making her all his.
Harm slid his fingers between her legs and rasped as his breathing turned labored, “The next time we make love, I’m not wearing a damn condom.”
Jena sobbed as her body shuddered with the most powerful orgasm she’d ever experienced. He had ruined her for all men, for she knew without a doubt she was hopelessly addicted to this man’s unquenchable hunger.
Chapter Five
Harm awoke the next morning feeling stiff all over yet mentally rested. His head throbbed, but it didn’t compare to the jerking of his heart when he saw Jena wasn’t in bed. Her clothes were gone from the chairs as well. As he quickly dressed in his jeans, the phone rang. He dove for it, jamming his toe on the kitchen table in the process.
“Hello!” he growled as pain radiated throughout his foot.
“Harm?”
“Yeah?” He racked his brain, but the male voice on the other end of the line didn’t sound familiar.
“It’s Ty. I’ve been trying to reach you all night. Man, that was a hell of a storm last night. I’m assuming you and Jena stayed at Sally’s place to ride it out. Did she make up her mind to sign the papers yet?”
Hell of a storm.
Sally’s place
Sign the papers .
The phrases triggered Harm’s memories. Like a drawbridge slowly being opened, the chain’s links unwound from the wheel and they all came flooding back.
Jena in the elevator, then in her hotel room.
Jena’s smile when he asked her to dinner.
Jena looking gorgeous and surprised when he walked into her brother’s hotel room.
Jena refusing to sign her half of the ranch over to him.
Jena challenging him, making him think more than he wanted to during the trip to Sally’s place.
The storm.
The wreck.
“Harm? You there? Did Jena sign?”
“Not yet. She’ll give you a call back later.”
Harm hung up before Ty could respond and took several deep breaths. He felt like he’d been kicked in the chest and racked in the balls for good measure.
Jena sighed heavily and leaned over the fence to pat the horse’s nose as the sun finally crested the sky. “Good morning, girl. Guess I’ve delayed long enough. Time to wake up Harm and tell him the truth.”
Even though Harm had gotten up earlier to take care of the horses, he’d come back to bed and pulled her close before falling asleep once more. The simple act meant he hadn’t regained his memory. As much as she craved the closeness, she’d been unable to fall back to sleep. The thought of waking up to the sun rising with Harm holding her so intimately made her heart ache. Last night had been amazing, but with the blush of the new day coming, her stomach knotted. She didn’t want to tell Harm, didn’t want to see his smile turn into a scowl or his eyes darken with anger.
Patting the horse once more, she made her way back to the house. As she walked in, she was surprised to see the sofa already put back together and Harm leaning against the kitchen table, his boots crossed. “Oh, hi. I didn’t expect you to be up yet.”
“When were you planning on telling me?” he said, his tone cold, hard.
Her stomach bottomed out. “When did your memory come back?” she asked in a quiet tone.
He jerked his head toward the phone. “When your brother called to check on us. When, Jena?” he snapped.
She stilled herself to keep from jumping at his fierce tone as she closed the door. “I was coming in to tell you just now.”
He crossed his arms, his
