  I think I died a little inside. My stomach did a flip-flop and my heart was right up there too. Taking a deep breath, I centered myself and lifted my chin. He was absolutely right.

  Bringing my nose to his, I whispered, “I’m hungry.”

  His eyes flared and my power over him made me feel ten feet tall.

  The restaurant was elegant and beautiful just as I knew it would be. We were seated immediately, the young waitress falling over herself when she saw Jax. I hid my smile behind my hand, secretly enjoying the fact he was all mine, at least for now. He must have noticed because he winked at me when “Bethany” walked away hurriedly to get our drinks.

  Studying the menu, I realized a nice rare steak was what I craved along with Jax for dessert. I slapped my hormones down, willing my raging libido to cool it. He glanced up from the menu and smiled. Did he hear my heart racing from across the table? It sounded like a bass drum to me.

  Bethany interrupted my internal civil war with her cheery little synopsis of their specials. I ordered my steak all but mooing. Years ago you couldn’t pay me enough to eat a bloody steak. It had to be cooked just shy of charcoal status.

  “So do your parents live here in the city?”

  His question took me by surprise. It wasn’t often I discussed my parents with a date. None of them really cared about my family or any relatives, for that matter. I took a sip of my wine.

  “No. My mother moved to Europe and I never met my father. No siblings.”

  He raised a questioning eyebrow and I took another sip. “At least she waited until I graduated law school to take off. Nice of her, don’t you think?”

  “Law? So you’re a lawyer?”

  “Yep. I enjoy what I do just not who I do it with.”

  He scowled. “Can you clarify that for me?”

  I smiled. “The firm I am with has different work ethics. Let’s just leave it at that.”

  He put his wine down and propped his elbows on the table, leaning forward. So much for leaving it at that.

  “My superior is a big jerk. He lies and cheats to win cases and has broken every ethics code I know.”

  “Well, let me know if I need to go over and break both his legs.”

  I gaped at him, really believing he would go through with the threat.

  “There’s our dinner,” he said, breaking my stunned silence

  I was actually relived to see Bethany, our bouncy, over-eager waitress. She placed our food on the table and asked if we needed anything else. I would have answered but she only had eyes for Jax. Good thing I wasn’t tipping her. I think she knew it too. With a radiant smile, she turned and headed back to the kitchen.

  “Are you going to kill that before eating it?” He pointed at my steak.

  I laughed. “You are missing out. Rare is the way to go.” He smirked at me then dug into his salad.

  “Is that all you’re going to eat?” I asked

  He nodded. “Have to watch my girlish figure.”

  I almost choked on my first bite. The man was stacked. I was sure he worked out on a regular basis. I felt like a pig as I chowed down on my fatty streak.

  “I guess I should have ordered a salad too.”

  His eyes twinkled. “You’re just fine, Sienna. I love a woman with curves in all the right places.”

  Damn it was hot in here. I fanned myself with the linen napkin and reached for my ice water.

  “I think I am ready to go. You?”

  Yes. Yes. Yes. I nodded because I couldn’t speak. He paid the tab and led me out, his hand at the small of my back just inches above my ass. Lord I was hot and bothered. Never in my life had I ever felt this aroused. Would we even make it to his place?

  His phone went off pulling me away from my licentious thoughts. I grinned until I saw the expression on his face. He seemed frustrated.

  “I see. I will take care of it from this point on. We’ll revisit tomorrow evening. Thanks.”

  I glanced up at him as he studied the street in front of us. Was he looking for someone?

  “Our ride’s here.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the curbside. We were inside the limo when his phone bleeped again. After barking a few directions, he hung up and still looked pissed. I wouldn’t want to be the person on the other side of that conversation.

  He apologized. I shook it off. It was business and I totally understood, getting my share of annoying calls too. I smiled to reassure him and hated that our moment was gone.

  In the next second my ass was firmly planted on his lap and his hands were in my hair. I let my head fall back, wanting him right at my neck. The velvet kiss of his tongue at my jugular made me jump. He inhaled deeply. Twice.

  Shit. I was going to melt on the spot. The way he drew my scent into his body was the most erotic sensation. The feeling was mind blowing.

  “Sienna,” he whispered along my jaw.

  I rubbed myself on him, feeling his erection through the thin fabric of my dress.

  “I need to get you out of this dress,” he growled.

  I loved when he did that. It empowered me to know I could drive him insane. Lord knew I was already there. Moving to face him, I draped my leg over his hip, now in a straddle position. His hands circled my waist, pushing me down against the bulge in his pants.

  “Oh God.” I moaned, as he pushed up. The only thing hindering our pleasure was two scraps of material. Jax reached up to kiss me. I opened my mouth to his tongue before our lips touched. It was animalistic and I loved it.

  My body jerked back when the limo stopped abruptly. Disoriented, I gazed around at my surroundings. The lights from the city below twinkled then disappeared as the driver maneuvered the long vehicle up Jax’s driveway. His hand moved up my naked back.

  “Tell me now if you want to leave.” His bright eyes implored me to stay.

  I put both hands to his cheeks and leveled my gaze to his. “I do not.”

  CHAPTER SIX

  I didn’t have time to climb off of him. He simply got out of the car with me attached to his waist. Tightening my legs was a total waste of time. The way he held me, one hand on my ass and the other on my thigh, was enough. I didn’t want to think about the driver or what he must be thinking.

  My face snuggled into Jax’s neck, licking and kissing. Somehow he opened the door and got us inside. The realization of what was about to happen hit me like a bulldozer. My body hummed with anticipation. Jax didn’t give me time to think, he kissed me, letting my body slide along his until my four inch boots touched the floor. I almost fell forward when he pulled away and strode toward the built in bar at the far side of the room. I did, however, have the pleasure of staring at one fine specimen from behind. He turned with a smirk as if he knew where my eyes had been seconds before.

  Two glasses of wine in hand, he came toward me. I was thankful. Wine would relax my raging need to a more pleasant buzz. I took a sip and closed my eyes. He was front and center when I opened them, his intense gaze devouring me. We took more sips and just stared at each other. That alone was more intimate than a lovers touch.

  Jax reached up and took my glass, placing it together with his on the side table. One hand cupped the side of my neck and the other brushed my hair back.

  “You are so beautiful, Sienna.”

  The desire in his gaze made my knees weak. He bent and scooped me up, effortlessly. The large double doors at the end of the hall got closer and my heart beat accelerated. Jax pushed one open with a nudge then kicked it closed behind us. That sound not only sealed us in but got me thinking about the huge bed facing the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city’s skyline. The view was magnificent and from a bedroom, even more sexy. His arms tightened around me and I was pulled back to the moment and his eyes.

  Holy. Shit. I was going to do it with this beautiful man. In the next few minutes I would be naked and pressed up against his hard body. His eyes were hooded as they studied my lips. He could make me wet just with a look. It was quite impressive. Hell, I ha
d an orgasmic spell in his limo with a lone kiss. What the hell was that? I must have flushed crimson because he chuckled.

  He lowered my body, keeping his hands at my waist.

  “Come.” He grabbed my hand and led me to the other side of the bed. We stood inches from the windows facing the view, his chest against my back. My hands came up and pressed flat on the glass. I could feel his length pushing against me. Even in four inch heels, he was still so much taller.

  “Before the sun rises, I will have you just like this.” His whispered in my ear, making me tingle everywhere. His hands ran down the side of my body then back up, bringing my dress along the way. My reflection showed him what was underneath; a shear, lacy, black thong.

  His smoldering gazed continued to follow his hands. My head was suddenly too heavy and fell back against his chest but I wouldn’t miss the show playing out in front of us for the world. I watched as his thumbs hooked onto my panties, slipping them down my hips until they only covered that part of me where I wanted him most. He continued up with the dress and over my head. I closed my eyes briefly until I heard the material hit the floor. The cool air kissed my nipples and I was glad to have gone bra-less. So I stood in four inch thigh high boots and my sexy underwear, which was practically nonexistent.

  “Fuck, Sienna.” He growled against my neck. Clearly, he liked what he saw. My breath caught with anticipation.

  His hands trembled slightly as he moved them up along my ribcage to just below my aching breast. If he didn’t touch me there soon, I was going to die.

  His fingers circled my nipples and the breath I held came out in a loud moan. I gritted my teeth to keep quiet. I had no doubt Jax could play my body any way he wanted. Prolonging the pleasure seemed impossible.

  “Easy. We have all night,” he murmured.

  I turned, giving him better access. He had no problem taking it. I groaned when he cupped both my breasts, bringing them to his lips. Standing wasn’t an option any longer and leaning against the cold surface behind me didn’t seem like a good second choice. Jax snaked strong arms around my waist, keeping me balanced

  His mouth trailed kisses down the soft skin of my stomach. When he reached the tiny belly ring at my navel, he flicked it with his tongue and my hands clasped his shoulders. The black thong I paid a small fortune for was torn from me, the ripping sound heightening my senses. I was completely bared to his gaze. Against my better judgment, I glanced down at him. He drank me in, his nostrils flaring at my scent. I knew the moment he touched me, I would detonate.

  Large hands trailed up the backs of my thighs and positioned me closer to his mouth. His tongue made contact with my sensitive spot and I came apart, instantly. Head thrown back, I whimpered and called out his name as wave after wave of sensation blew through my body. Jax continued his assault throughout the duration of my release until my knees buckled and I slithered to the ground before him. He kissed me then, pulling me close. The fabric of his pants rubbed against my bare bottom and I blinked thinking he was still completely dressed. How fucking hot was that? I wore nothing but my boots while he devoured me in full clothing. Damn.

  I pulled back from his luscious lips and smirked.

  “This doesn’t seem at all fair, Mr. Sparks,” I quipped

  One dark brow raised in question. “From where I stand you just had a pretty incredible orgasm.”

  His wicked grin was doing strange things to my insides. I wanted my share of groping too. I started to unbutton his dress shirt, dying to see that body of his. By the breadth of those shoulders, I was betting he was beautiful everywhere. To hell with the buttons, placing my fingers inside the fabric I yanked and the last few flew apart, landing on the floor. I unwrapped him like a present, pushing the shirt open, letting it hang from his shoulders. Holy shit he was gorgeous, all six-pack abs and toned muscle. I wanted to lick his sexy tattoo, the one that teased me as it peaked out from the collar of his shirt.

  He stood and sat on the edge of the bed, leaving me on my knees. I didn’t stand up; I moved between his legs instead. His hands grabbed my hair. That did it. I yanked his belt and unzipped him. He moved to help. When his shaft made an appearance I felt faint for a moment so I ducked my head and kissed his chest, licking at his small nipples. He groaned and fisted his hands, pulling lightly on my hair. My hands moved down his abs until they clasped the steel covered in heated skin at the juncture of his thighs. I knew I was going down on him. How could I resist? My lips engulfed him, sucking and licking. He was delicious.

  “Oh Fuck,” he growled.

  It didn’t last but a few seconds before I was yanked up and over onto the bed. Rising on my elbows I enjoyed the show as he stripped the rest of his clothing off, sighing in euphoric bliss when his bare skin pressed against mine. Arching my back, I urged him closer. His lips were on my neck then he stopped, holding very still.

  “Jax?”

  His hands moved along my ribcage and cupped my bottom, bringing my lower body in alignment to his. I spread my legs and wrapped them around his waist.

  “I’m good. Just taking a breath.”

  I smiled and closed my eyes. His fingers probed my entrance, measuring my readiness for him. I felt the gentle pressure of one digit then two. At this pace I was betting I would have my third big O of the night. I bit my lip trying to hold off but my body had a mind of its own. I shattered around his fingers, pulsing and throbbing. His name left my lips on a long sigh.

  Jax pulled back and stared at me for a moment, running his hands up my thighs and along my belly.

  “You are one passionate woman, Sienna. I have my work cut out for me,” he whispered the last.

  What the hell was he talking about? Never before had I experienced anything like this and we still hadn’t done it yet. I had my work cut out keeping up with him.

  I pushed a lose tendril back from his forehead. “I seriously doubt that. I feel like a wet noodle right now.”

  He grinned. “I don’t know about the noodle but I can attest to the wet part.”

  Okay. That made me hot again. What was wrong with me? Seriously, I was going to be very sore tomorrow. Funny thing was I really didn’t give a shit. Bring it on. I guess he heard my lurid thoughts because he was kissing me hard. His body against mine was heaven and his scent, intoxicating. I ran my nose along his neck taking him into my lungs. This wasn’t cologne or body wash but his own. I had never smelled such a natural scent on a man before.

  I felt him nudging at my core. I braced for his entry, knowing I had never experience someone his size.

  “Relax, babe. You are more than ready for me. Again.”

  I felt him smile against my neck then he was inside of me. I took a deep breath, trying to adjust.

  “Open wider for me,” he urged, moving my behind up toward him so my lower body was tilted at an angle.

  That helped and his shaft slide in further. Holy damn! I didn’t think pleasure could get any better…until he started to move. My breath hitched and I feared I might hyperventilate.

  “Breathe, Sienna.” He held still for a moment until my body grew accustomed and my lungs expelled on a shaky breath.

  This was too intense, I thought. How the hell was I going to get through this? My mind grasped at the sensations, trying to process them. I screamed into his shoulder when he started his wicked dance again. I became one with him, reveling in the intense ecstasy building with every stroke. My hands wrapped around his torso, caressing his strong back then trailing down to his ass.

  “Jesus, Sienna. You feel so tight. So good,” he moaned, his thrusts more desperate.

  I felt him swell inside of me and my world exploded. Jax moved up onto his elbows, watching me as I went insane with pleasure. His hips moved in a circular motion and I went again, this time he came with me. My name left his lips in a loud groan but it was my scream that resonated through the room as my body convulsed yet again.

  Had the ground actually trembled just now? We didn’t usually have earthquakes this far No
rth. I smiled against his shoulder. I guess I knew what it felt like when someone rocked your world. My arms slid up his back and moved into his thick hair. God he was….

  “Are you okay?”

  I felt his hands on my breast, stroking me.

  “What do you think?”

  He propped himself up, his body still inside of mine, and smoothed my hair back.

  “I love your hair. Don’t ever cut it or I’ll be forced to spank you.”

  I chuckled. Tarah always raved about my hair, its color, the thickness. I agreed it was probably my best feature, even though the deep red color stuck out like flame in a dark room.

  “Hmmmm… I guess I’ll have to cancel my appointment with the hairdresser tomorrow? I quirked an eyebrow.

  “I know firsthand that color is natural.”

  His smile was infectious and I blushed at the reason why he knew such personal information. I gasped at the stinging slap to my bottom.

  “Jax! That hurt.”

  “And it’s just a prelude to what will happen if you touch one hair on your head.” He rose and padded over to his closet. My God…his ass was perfection. I stared at his shoulders as they stretched into a black satin robe. He reached in a grabbed another one, dropping it at the foot of the bed for me

  “I have to make some phone calls but I’ll be back. The bath is through that door and I have some left-overs in the kitchen if you’re hungry.”

  He kissed me gently before leaving. I watched the door close and found I was thoroughly exhausted. Turning on my side, I burrowed into his pillow. With his scent permeating my thoughts, I fell into a deep sleep.

  Jax

  “I am telling you, the warehouse fucking blew up. This after the unlikely lightening storm and if you haven’t heard the news already, we had a slight earthquake earlier.”

  “I’m not doubting you, it’s just highly unlikely for a hybrid to survive the transition.” Cade answered.

  I rolled my eyes. “How about the fact I tasted her blood and she definitely has vampire in her.”
