“You won’t.”
She says the words with so much conviction, it has me asking, “How do you know?”
“Because you thrive under pressure, Jase. Look at how you were with me. You took charge, and honestly, you made it so much easier for me to deal with the ordeal.”
I think over what she said and realize she’s right. I’ve doubted myself, but every time shit has gone down, I’ve managed to handle it.
My mouth lifts in a relieved smile, and my eyes rest with love on Mila. “You know me better than I know myself.”
“Yeah, except for your choice of pajamas,” she teases. “And speaking of, I’m going to get changed.”
My eyes devour her body as she climbs out, and grabbing an outfit off the bed, she slips into the bathroom.
Getting out of the tub, I use one of the bathrobes to dry myself, then go to clear everything off the bed. Reaching in my bag, I remove the box of condoms and take one out. I pull the covers off, only leaving the sheet, and I slide under it.
The bathroom door opens, and I tuck the condom quickly under my pillow, then my eyes freeze on Mila.
She looks breathtaking in the sheer black lingerie. Sexy and all woman.
My eyes feast on her as she comes closer. She crawls onto the bed, then sits in a kneeling position at the edge.
And all I can fucking do is stare.
She loosened her hair, and the silky black strands fall straight down her back.
“How’s it possible that you’re from this world?” I murmur, caught in a trance.
My words seem to give her courage because she crawls closer until she reaches my hip.
She takes a deep breath then blurts out, “Okay, I’m really nervous right now, but don’t take it the wrong way. It’s just… I’ve been waiting for this moment a long time, and it means a hell of a lot to me.”
Fuck, her words make my own nerves kick to life because I don’t want to disappoint her.
I swallow the shit down because there’s no way in hell I’m letting it ruin tonight.
I reach for her hand and link our fingers. “Want to talk about what’s going to happen?”
She shakes her head, then her eyes widen slightly. “I’m on the pill. I thought you should know that.”
A smile stretches over my face. “I’m still going to use a condom because I’ll be fucking pissed off with myself if I get you pregnant.” Feeling I need to explain my words, I continue, “I don’t want to share you any time soon with a baby. I’m selfish like that.”
She lets out a burst of laughter. “I’m totally fine with that. I want to graduate and work for a while before having a child.”
“Come lie by me,” I order. I first need to get her to relax again.
Mila snuggles against my side and resting her chin on my chest, she glances up at me.
I lift a hand to her hair and pull my fingers through the strands.
“Ryker’s taking over from your dad, right?”
A frown appears on her forehead for a split-second, then she nods, “Yeah. Thank God because I suck with anything law related.”
“So, what are you going to do with your MBA?”
“I’m not sure what I want to do. I’m just getting it, so I’ll have something behind my name.”
“You’re not interested in hospice like your mom?” I ask, scooting down until I’m eye level with her.
“No. I’ll cry myself to death if I had to watch people die,” she admits. “I’m not too worried. I have four years to figure out what I want to do.”
“Stephanie is retiring with my father, so you can always become my PA, and then we can have dirty office sex.”
My comment makes her laugh. “No thanks, I don’t want to work under you.”
“Yeah?” I flip her onto her back and drop my voice low, “I’ll get you addicted to being under me.”
Mila brings her hands to my jaw and pulls me down until our mouths fuse together. I don’t give in to my hunger to consume her and force myself to remain in the moment, so I don’t lose control with her.
Once she’s used to me, it will be a whole different story.
MILA
My heart is pounding in my chest with anticipation.
Jase slows the kiss, and his tongue massages mine sensually. His left hand finds my breast, and my back arches into his touch.
He kisses me until my lips tingle, then he pulls back. With his eyes on fire and his voice deep, he says, “I’m going to get myself off, so I last longer than a second once I’m inside you.”
I nod, and I begin to move my hand down to his cock, but he shakes his head, and taking hold of my wrist, he pushes my arm down next to my head.
