Lone Star Burn: Taken by Surprise (Kindle Worlds Novella) by Desiree Holt Page B

want…your cock.” Rub, rub, rub.
    “Okay, then.”
    He placed an openmouthed kiss on her pussy before rising to his knees and reaching toward the nightstand. In a second, he had a condom in place. Sliding his hands beneath the cheeks of her ass, he lifted her to him, positioned himself at her opening, and slowly eased himself into her moist passage.
    “Jesus, Jessie. You are so fucking wet. And so fucking hot.” He sucked in a breath as he pushed harder until he was fully inside her.
    And then he took her on the wild ride she loved so much, driving in and out of her, urging her to keep playing with her clit, pushing, thrusting, driving them both up a steep precipice of need. Everything fell away for her except the two of them and the unrestrained craving for each other. More, more, more.
    His fingers dug into her bottom, gripping her cheeks. She knew he was close. She worked her clit even faster until, with a final thrust from him, they fell over the edge together. She felt herself falling a long way, her body convulsing, her inner muscles clenching over and over. They shuddered together, nothing existing except the two of them in this moment that joined them so intimately.
    Time spun out as they pulsed together, bodies throbbing, until at last the spasm eased and slowed. As the aftershocks began to fade, Jack sprinkled kisses on her jawline and her cheek before taking her mouth in a kiss far more emotional than erotic. He kissed her for a long time while he held her body tight to him. When the throbbing finally eased, he murmured against her lips.
    “I love you, Jessie. You are the light in my life.”
    Jessie sat up in bed with a sudden movement, jerked away from her erotic dream. She touched her cheeks and, discovering they were wet, grabbed a tissue to blot them. Her heart pounded and her breath caught in her throat. What had she done? What on earth had she done? She’d thrown away the best thing to come into her life because of a selfish single-mindedness.
    Looking down, she discovered she still had Delfina’s letter clutched in one hand. Was it too late for her and Jack? Had she done permanent damage to their relationship? In three short weeks, she had discovered with shocked surprise that Delfina’s gift might actually be one of the best things that had ever happened to her. That she’d been looking for her future in the wrong direction and the wrong environment.
    She’d had the right man. The question was, how did she get him back? It was too late to make calls now. Tomorrow, first thing, she’d make the calls to get her apartment closed up and dispose of her things. Then she’d head off to Houston to wrap it up. But as soon as she returned, she would launch into Operation Get Jack Back.

    “I seem to have lost my touch.”
    Jack looked across the table at Lynne Robbins. Her tone was soft, but the set of her jaw belied the tension in her body. He knew she was pissed at him and probably rightfully so. He hadn’t had the least desire to take her to dinner tonight, never mind a “romantic place” with candles on the table and crystal glasses. He had made it his business to avoid one of the county’s few upscale places since he’d moved to Fort Mavis. It reminded him too much of Jessie, and that reminded him too much of their breakup, and that brought on another surge of anger mixed with pain.
    “I’m sorry.” He managed a smile for her. “I guess I’m not very good company tonight. Must be all the stuff about the upcoming rodeo taking up space in my brain.”
    “If you don’t mind my saying so, you haven’t been good company for a lot of nights.” Now her tone was sharp, even a little nasty. “And I don’t believe it’s got anything to do with the rodeo. You’ve been like this since that female from Houston showed up to take over Delfina’s place.”
    He knew she was right. He had made it his business to avoid the restaurant at all costs. Too bad, because they had the
