CHAPTER SEVEN

JACO GAZED UP at Leah through narrowed eyes as he waited for his heart rate to steady, for his breathing to return to something like normal. She was still sitting astride him, with her head thrown back and her hands loosening on his chest muscles, and he followed the pale column of her throat, the V of her jawline shadowed in the fading light. So beautiful.

He had been fantasising about making love to her ever since they had been on this island. No, for far longer than that if he was being truthful—ever since that last time, the night that his son had been conceived.

Over the past year he had tried to convince himself that she meant nothing to him, that he was over Leah McDonald. Entirely unaccustomed to being dumped, he had taken her rejection at face value, told himself it was her loss. But deep down he knew it wasn’t just his pride that had taken a knock, that it was more than just a slap in the face. The sting of a slap quickly faded, but the burn of Leah’s rebuff had stayed with him. More than that, it had grown, gnawing away at him until the only way to rid himself of the canker had been to take her again. To prove to himself, and to her, that he had the power to recreate the magic they had shared. That he could make her scream his name again.

The fact that he, too, had lost control, that somehow her name had escaped his lips at the moment of orgasm, was something he preferred not to dwell on.

Leah’s head came up, and the glazed look of euphoria was quickly dispelled by a flash of something like confusion in her eyes.

The moment was over, as Jaco had known it would be—which was a pity. He could happily have taken her again. The sight of her swollen lips, her flushed cheeks and the tousled hair that she was now forcibly tucking behind her ears, was already threatening to harden him again inside her.

Levering herself off him, Leah stood unsteadily on the floor, pulling down her dress and looking around her with a slightly dazed expression, as if she wasn’t sure what to do now. Jaco swung his legs off the sofa and positioned himself in front of her, his feet apart, his arms folded over his chest. He watched as she tilted her chin, forcing herself to meet his gaze—a gaze that he was not prepared to spare her.

A surge of anger swept through him. Why did she find it so hard to make eye contact? Why could she hardly bring herself to look at him? They had done nothing wrong. As far as he knew, sex between single consenting adults was perfectly legal—even in the infuriatingly skewed world of Leah McDonald.

He certainly had no intention of apologising for what had just happened. He didn’t regret it. But as he stared at the hurt and anguish etched across her face he knew without a shred of doubt that she did.
