CHAPTER SEVEN

JESS had no idea how much time passed before she became aware of her surroundings again. The moonlight spilling across her face. The feel of the mattress against her back. The weight of Adam against her front.

The settling of two frenetic heartbeats. The mellowing of two rapid breaths.

A delicious warmth radiated from her centre, soothing the slight ache where his hardness still nestled deep inside her.

‘Wow,’ she murmured, her lips brushing a warm shoulder.

Adam, his face buried in her neck, chuckled. He couldn’t have put it better himself. ‘Indeed.’

When was the last time sex had been this…sweet? This special?

Jess pressed a kiss against the solid roundness of his shoulder. It was round enough to bite, smelled and tasted good enough to eat and despite an all-consuming lassitude she found herself wanting more.

‘Again,’ she murmured, turning her head to press a kiss against his throat.

Adam laughed. ‘I might need a minute or two.’

Jess smiled against his throat as the rumble of his words tickled her lips. She moved against him. ‘Doesn’t feel like it.’

Adam sucked in a breath. Every cell urged him to pull out and plunge back in again.

Out, in. Out, in. Out, in.

But.

They needed to talk first.

With a monumental effort he silenced the mantra thrumming through his blood, roaring through his ears, and gently withdrew.

Jess gasped as he left her body. The glide of him against sensitive skin was delicious. The ache left in his wake illicit.

But still she mewed a protest as he shifted off her and said, ‘We need to talk.’

‘I don’t think I’m capable.’

Adam laughed as he settled onto his back. He could most certainly relate. ‘That makes two of us.’

Jess rolled on her side, resting her head on his shoulder and sliding a palm across Adam’s chest until it was tucked down his opposite side. His arm curled up around her back and his hand came to rest on her shoulder. Jess sighed contentedly.

She’d always known it could be like this.

Adam lay in silence, appreciating the feel of her pressed against him and the aromas of sweet, sweet woman.

‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ he asked eventually, to ward off the tug of post-coital lethargy.

Jess fluttered her eyes open. There was no use pretending she didn’t know what he was talking about. ‘Would you have gone through with this if you’d known?’

Adam stroked the skin beneath his fingers with long, languorous strokes as he stared at the ceiling. ‘No.’

‘That’s why I didn’t tell you.’

Adam shut his eyes as guilt began to rear its ugly head. ‘It would have been nice to know, Jess…’

‘What difference would it have made other than you running a mile?’

He opened his eyes. ‘I certainly wouldn’t have taken you against a door.’

Jess pushed herself up on her elbow and looked down at him. ‘Why not?’

He looked into her earnest face. ‘It’s hardly sexual intercourse 101, Jess. There are…easier ways.’

Jess could hear the guilt rampant in his voice. ‘No. Don’t do that, Adam. It was…amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing.’

Adam shook his head.
