Page 11 of Jaxon's Pursuit
My hips begin pumping into her, harder and slower. Deep, until I swear I can feel every inch of her rippling tunnel. After every hard thrust I pull back slowly, loathe to leave her body and then push back in quicker, eager to return. Her hips begin pushing up into me and her whimpers and sighs become louder. Her nails claw at my back again and it’s almost more than I can take but I can’t lose it yet. I want so much more time. So much more of her.
“I never want to leave you,” I grunt, pushing into her so hard that I feel her begin to quiver again.
“Don’t,” she whimpers. “Promise me you’ll never leave me.” Her voice is husky and sweet. Her perfume wraps around me. Not a scent you buy in a store. Her scent. A soft, sensuous, spicy fragrance that is just her. My lips glide down and take her nipple in my mouth again. I groan against her. She claws at me and loses herself again. The ripples pull at my dick and that’s too much for my fading self-control. My hips stutter and then I groan loudly as I pump her body full of my seed. My head drops into her shoulder and she cradles me as I lose myself in her body’s rippling, juicy heat.
“Ruby,” I groan and catch myself before I crush her, rolling to my side, gasping into her shoulder.
“Shit, you’re really good at that for a virgin, Jax.”
I raise my head in wonder to find her eyes twinkling at me. “Are you making virgin jokes right now?”
She giggles and that sound is like music to my ears. I grin and kiss her softly. “Are you alright?” I ask her. My eyes bore into hers, looking for any sign that she’s uncomfortable, unhappy.
She shakes her head and those silky, fiery strands slide across my bare skin. I wrap my fist in them and shudder.
“God, you’re so damn beautiful,” I breathe out, glorying in her.
“You really think so?” She’s still so unsure. I run my hands up and down her lush curves, cupping every lovely inch of her.
“I know so,” I tell her, my voice firm. “Wait a minute, did you tell me you love me? In the middle of sex? For the first damn time,” I grump.
“When should I tell you?” Her rosy lips pout at me.
“Now. Right now and for the rest of our lives.” My lips catch hers and my hand fists her hair, tilting her head to the perfect angle to devour her.
She smiles breathlessly when I lift my mouth. “I love you, Jax. I didn’t think I could ever feel the way I feel for you. You are the most gorgeous man I’ve ever met and the fact that you want me when I’m …”
I shake my head. “Uh-uh. You don’t get to run yourself down anymore. And you need to fire that agent. She’s in your head and it sounds like she doesn’t treat you right. I’d hate to have to slap a woman but if she says something nasty in front of me, I’m going to. You are the most, precious thing in this world to me. The most perfect woman I’ve ever met, so sweet, so loving and way more than I deserve and I’m going to spend my life proving it to you. I want to make love to you every night, cuddle with you sleeping in my arms, and have children with you.” My hand cups her rounded belly and I can’t wait to see her stomach rounded with our child.
She pales and pulls away from me.
“Ruby?” I ask softly, afraid I’ve pushed her too hard.
Her eyes won’t meet mine and my gut clenches.
“There’s something else, Jax. I didn’t want to tell you. I don’t…” she pauses and she’s shaking again and whatever this is, it’s what keeps her pain fresh. “I can’t have children, Jax. I had internal bleeding from…well, let’s just say he wasn’t gentle. They saved me but I can never have children.” Tears streak down her pale cheeks and I can’t bear to see her cry. My heart rips out of my chest at her pain.
I lift her chin and her emerald eyes swim with pain. I sigh. “Baby, that doesn’t matter to me. All I need in this world is you and nothing’s going to change that. If we want to at some point we’ll adopt. But it doesn’t matter to me. You’re everything to me and that’s all I need.”
Tears are streaming down her face and I wipe them away. She hiccups and cuddles into me. “You’re sure.”
I tighten my arms around her, amazed that this strong, gentle survivor wants me. “I’m a lucky bastard. What’s to be sure about?”
She lets loose with a watery chuckle and I grin. “Besides that just means I can focus all my love and attention on you.”
She grimaces. “You’re going to smother me aren’t you?”
“I am indeed.” I kiss her smooth shoulder.
“I love you, Jax.” She whispers it in my ear.
“I love you too, baby. Forever.” I pull her close and rest, content for the first time in mylife. Love wells up in my chest, so strong it almost takes my breath away. This woman. She’s my whole world. I am definitely the luckiest bastard on this planet.
