As his hands wrapped themselves in my hair—not pushing hard into him, exactly, but not entirely gentle either—a bubble of excitement built in my chest. At least, that’s where it started. Was I really getting wet again?
What a turn of events.
“Natalie, my god.”
Cupping his balls, his hands firm on my head, I used my tongue and my mouth in tandem the best I knew how and willed him to come. To explode in a way he never had before. Unlikely, given his experience, but one had to aim for the stars.
I was still thinking of that orgasm he gave me when Jax pulled me into him and stilled. Waiting for that inevitable moment when I’d change my mind and dislike the whole thing, I swallowed every bit.
That moment never came.
When Jax hauled me to my feet and kissed me, seemingly not caring I still had the taste of him on my lips or that voices could be distinctly heard from just outside our door, his mouth moved over mine hungrily.
I’d never wanted to be consumed by someone, but at this moment, it wasn’t enough. The kiss, our chests pressed together...I wanted more.
I wanted him.
A knock at the door was like a bucket of cold water being tossed on us. As we broke apart, Jax whispered, “Go ahead and answer.”
“Someone’s in here,” I called out.
There were like five changing rooms. Surely some were empty.
“I know, silly,” Charlee said from the other side. “You’ve been in there forever. All okay?”
More than okay. Jax leaned down to grab our clothes. Standing, he handed me my bikini top. I quickly put it on as he did the same with his shirt.
“I’ll be right out.”
No response.
“How the hell are we going to get out of here without anyone noticing?” I asked frantically.
“More importantly, when can we do this again?”
Good question.
As we dressed, Jax and I whispered back and forth to each other. “What exactly does a Sicilian pause look like?” I asked. “We get together for a weekend and then go back to being enemies next week?”
He sighed. “We don’t have to be enemies, Natalie.”
“I just have to agree to be cool with selling the inlet. And then all is well?”
“How about this? We don’t talk about the inlet at all. No property talk while we’re here. When we go back to New York, we can sit down and go over all the options.”
Dressed, I picked up my bag. “Options as in I agree to the sale?”
“That’s one.”
No talk of the land. Come to think of it, since this didn’t affect our bet, that worked fine for me. Then we could go back, I could pretend to listen to Jax’s plan and then, avoiding him like the plague so there was no more getting together, he could find another piece of protected land to purchase.
And then what? He leaves Kitchi Falls and you never see him again?
Seemed like it would be the way of things. Even if he bought the land, Jax didn’t plan to use it for himself. Either way, he’d be out of dodge. In the meantime, why not have a little fun? Give in to temptation a bit. What did I have to lose?
“You go out first since your friends are looking for you.” He leaned down and kissed me one last time. “I’ll follow in a bit.”
What did I have to lose, indeed? The answer was staring me in the face, but I had no desire to acknowledge it. There was no past, and the future was uncertain. All we really had was the present.
