Chapter 12

In the shower, Jack had been sure she’d been as ready for this as he was, but when they got to his bed and he unwrapped her from her towel, the desire in her eyes had dimmed. She seemed nervous, scared even.

“Are you okay? You look ... I don’t know ... uneasy, maybe.”

She dropped onto the bed, avoiding his eyes. “No, I’m fine.” She shook her head. “Okay, maybe a little nervous. It’s been a while for me since ... you know.”

He took her chin in his hand and tipped her face up. “Me, too. So we’ll take it nice and easy. Make sure we’re both happy with what we’re doing.”

“Okay.” She looked less nervous, but doubt was still apparent on her face.

“First thing to make me happy is you have to scoot over. You’re on my side of the bed, and I’m a creature of habit.”

She scooted. And laughed.

He dropped the towel from around his hips and saw the approving look in her eyes as her gaze swept up and down his body. It certainly helped his confidence that she seemed to appreciate what she saw.

Settling on his side facing her, he ran his hand over the curves he’d wanted to touch for weeks, hoping he was reassuring her, not reminding her of how he gentled Hero when the horse got frisky.

She sighed, with relief he thought, and nodded.

He removed the band holding the strands of the braid together and began to untangle it. She shook her head, and the braid came loose, almost in slow motion, draping over her shoulder just as he imagined it would.

“Damn, it really is like silk. I could spend hours doing this,” he said as he forked his fingers through the long strands of coal black hair. “But that’s two for me and none for you. It’s your turn. What would make you happy?”

“I’m not sure I know how to answer.” The crease between her eyes that always meant she was wary appeared as she continued. “What, exactly, do you mean?”

He nipped at her shoulder and drew closer to her, feeling the warmth of her skin on his belly and legs. “What do you like when you make love? What gives you pleasure?”

“I ... I guess I’ve never thought about it.”

“Are you challenging me to find out on my own?” The crease between her eyes deepened so he quickly added. “I’m not objecting. I like the challenge of exploring.” He took her chin in one hand. “I think I’ll start here ...”

He captured her lips with his. He didn’t bother with soft, sweet preliminaries this time but went straight for
