She shrugged.
“Let it go tonight,” he pleaded.
She nodded, her eyes glistening. “You’re right. I’ll try.”
After the final notes of the music faded, Jackson helped Liv into her jacket, and they said their goodbyes to their companions. They made their way to Jackson's fire department vehicle, and he drove Liv to her apartment.
Once they arrived, she invited him inside. “Coffee?”
He readily agreed, and they took the elevator up together. As they stepped into her cozy living room, the soft lights cast a warm, inviting glow on their faces.
Taking a deep breath, he turned to her, his eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and desire. “Livvy,” he began, “there's something I've been wanting to do.”
She met his gaze, her eyes curious. She liked being in charge—he’d have to earn her trust so she could let go. “What is it, Jackson?”
He took a step closer. “I want to kiss you.”
Without a word, she looked up at him, a warm smile spreading across her face. In response, she leaned in, and their lips met in a passionate kiss, soft at first as they savored each other’s taste and warmth. Jackson's hand gently cradled Liv's face, his fingers lightly brushing her cheek. Her arms encircled him, pulling him close.
Their kiss deepened. Their mouths moved in a perfect rhythm, a new dance of desire and connection. Their tongues gently brushed against each other. The taste was intoxicating.
Jackson pulled back. “I better go.” His chest rose and fell with heavy breaths.
Her eyelashes fluttered against her cheeks. A sad expression filled her gaze.
“Oh, Livvy. I better go, because if I stay… if I stay, I’m going to make love to you. And I don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you.”
Liv’s eyes met his. She reached to her side, slid the zipper down and let her dress drop to the floor. “Take advantage of me.”
Jackson’s eyes widened as he took in the sight of her standing there in a black silk bra and silk panties. “Livvy.” He slid his hand down her back and the other beneath her knees, scooping her into his arms. He headed toward the back of her apartment as he again sealed his lips to hers.
Their mouths eased apart, and he rested her on the bed. He ran his thumb over the pillow of her lower lip.
Liv smiled, darting her tongue at his thumb. “I’ve wanted you since the first day I met you.” Her eyes met his in a bit of a challenge.
“Mmm. I hope it’s worth the wait.” Straddling her, he gripped her wrists with one hand. “I have no problem with strong women.” This time, he seized her lips in a powerful, possessive kiss. She inhaled, stealing a breath as his tongue took possession of her mouth.
“Tell me you want this.” He nipped her earlobe.
“Yes.” Her breath warmed his cheek.
He returned to kissing her deeply. After releasing her wrists, one of Jackson’s strong hands cupped her face, then slid behind her head into the warmth of her hair. He again broke the kiss with a sigh. “You smell delicious.”
He nibbled down the length of her long neck. She tried to press her body up against his, but his weight held her back. His eyes twinkled with amusement. “Someone is in a hurry.”
She grabbed a handful of his shirt and yanked him closer. He slid his hands beneath hers, disengaging from her grasp. He stood and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his muscular chest, then he opened his belt and stepped from his pants. He toed off his socks.
She matched him by unhooking her bra and tossing it onto the floor. He knelt in front of her and slowly kissed his way from her lips to her breasts.
“Ohh,” she groaned.
His hands spilled over them, cupping them, kneading them. His tongue flicked across one nipple then the other—fast, wet, quick. He was making her feel things she wasn’t used to.
Liv’s head rolled on the pillow. Her gaze settled on a large bruise on his hip. “Did that happen in the fire?”
“It will heal.” Jackson reached up and ran a hand through some stray hair draping her eyes. He placed more kisses to each pink nipple, over her tight belly, and circled his tongue around her innie belly button. After hooking his fingers into her panties, he tore them from her body.
His eyes seemed to glow as he looked at her. No man had ever looked at her like that. Liv reached to touch his straining cock, which peered through his boxer briefs, weeping for her.
