Time seemed to stand still, which was not only odd, but silly. Time never stood still, not even for sexy superheroes. When Jax pushed off the Jeep and stepped close, Maddie’s pulse immediately kicked into high gear.
“Thanks for coming,” she whispered. “I—“
Slowly, purposefully, eyes still locked on hers, he invaded her personal space bubble.
She sucked in a breath as heat spiraled within her.“You …” he said, trying to help her along.
“I can’t remember a single thought in my head.”
Gentle but firm hands settled on her hips, and he backed her into the Jeep.
“What are you doing?” she asked breathlessly.
“Giving you a new thought.” Leaning in, he covered her mouth with his and kissed her, his tongue teasing lightly, keeping it soft until she moaned. Then he deepened the kiss into a hot, intense connection that had her head spinning and her blood pumping as their bodies molded together. Unlike last night’s tender kisses, this was a little demanding, and a whole lot wild, and when he slid a thigh between hers, she lost her ability to think.
Last night, he’d been seeking permission. Not this time. This time, he buried his fingers into her hair and claimed her mouth, pulling her in even closer, a hand caressing down her back as if to soothe as well as incite, claiming another little piece of her heart in the process.
Sneaky bastard.
She’d tell him so, but her tongue was a little busy. So were her fingers, first enjoying the play of the muscles on his back, then holding on tight just in case he had any ideas about trying to get away. Because she wasn’t done, not even when Izzy gave a little whine of unhappiness at sharing her man.
Maddie slid her hands over Jax’s shoulders, reminding herself that enough was enough, but she tugged a thrillingly rough groan from deep in his chest so she tightened her grip instead. By the time they broke apart, she was completely out of breath. If it wasn’t for the Jeep at her back and the thigh he still had wedged between hers, she’d have dropped to the ground in a puddle of lust.
“Maddie.”
His voice was low and gravely and sexy as hell. “Yes?”
“I’m going to touch you now.”
