to get there.” His hand came up to cup her cheek. “I never asked you to give up your dreams. You just assumed I would and left. You didn’t give us a chance.”
She stared at him in wonder and then looked away. “I didn’t have anything else to go by. And what I felt when I was with you…I was scared,” she whispered. “I never even had a boyfriend until you came along.”
With a sigh, he tugged on her hands until she stepped into his arms. He wrapped them around her and held her close. “I never meant to scare you away. What I felt for you, I knew it was intense but you were so…secretive, I guess is the word. You never talked to me about your feelings or the past. So much wasted time,” he murmured, rubbing her back and shoulders, feeling the tension.
Allowing herself to relax, Nicole leaned into him and he shifted to support most of the weight. He reached up and framed her face with his hands, tilting her head back until he could see her eyes. “We could try again, start over?” he questioned.
Without a word or breaking eye contact, she nodded her agreement.
Jason leaned his head down and rested his forehead against hers. “But this time, we both have to be honest with each other to a fault… and no running away from our problems or our fears. Deal?” he whispered.
“Deal.” she whispered back, and he tilted his head and kissed her.
IT WAS LIKE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK THE SECOND HIS lips touched hers. It started slow and tender, and as Nicole began to respond Jason deepened the kiss. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth and met his tongue with her own. His fingers ran through her hair, massaging her scalp. Lost in a sea of emotions, she slid her arms up his broad chest, and then wrapped them around his neck. Pressing herself closer to him as his hands skimmed over her back and down to her hips, she felt the hard ridge of his desire through the layers of clothes. His fingers flexed and bit into her hip pulling her up against him, hard.
He slid one hand up under her shirt, his fingertips skimming along the lacy edge of her bra cup before he placed his whole palm over her breast and started kneading. She gasped, feeling her nipples harden and tilted her head back, allowing him access to the tender areas on her neck. As her hips moved against him, everything else faded away. Nothing mattered but him being here with her.
With a groan, he stopped the sensual assault and held her away from him. “If we keep this up, you’re going to be flat on your back on the ground,” he explained when she opened her eyes to look up at him in confusion.
“Oh my God.” She muttered, stepping back another step. “Jason…”
“It’s okay, baby. We have all the time in the world to get to know each other again.” He took a step towards her and reached out with a finger and stroked her cheek, then leaned in and gave her a tender kiss. “Okay?”
She nodded, a little embarrassed by her ardent response to him even after all this time. “You always could do that,” she muttered, as she ran her fingers through her hair in attempt to restore some order, and not to just to the strands.
“What’s that?” Jason reached over and helped tuck a few strands back into place for her.
“Turn yourself off before making that final leap.” Nicole was having trouble looking at him and couldn’t make herself look him in the eyes.
He stepped in front of her and placed a firm finger under her chin and forced her to look up and meet his searching gaze. “Baby, you were a virgin. It took everything in me not to take you to bed and seduce you. No way in hell did I want you to think you were just a notch on my bedpost. Besides that, you are my best friend’s cousin. He trusted me with you,” he pulled her back into his arms and pressed his erection against her again. “And for your information, I don’t ‘turn myself
