First Down (First and Ten #1) (11 page)

His need to consume her, to make her a part of him, roared through his body as their mouths clashed in a greedy attempt to satisfy the need they had. One hand gripped her hip, and the other yanked at the hem of her dress as he began pulling it away from her body. He finally had to release her mouth, so he could get the thing over her head. Throwing it over his shoulder, he let his gaze wander over her body and knew that she’d been made for him. Each peak and valley fascinated him as he let his fingers brush gently over her skin. He felt her hands on his face as she made him look at her.

“You have a much more impressive chest than I do, and I would like to free you of that shirt you have on.”

He blinked and gave her the smile of a man who had all the time in the world. “Whatever you want.” Moving his hands to his shirt, he felt her brush them away, and he stared at her in surprise.

“Let me.” She moved her hands to the buttons of his shirt and unfastened them as quickly as she could. Moving the shirt off of his massive shoulders, she watched it slide over his enormous arms. Sighing, she moved her mouth to his neck and pressed her lips against the smooth skin where his jaw met his ear. Nothing and no one smelled better than Jack Ellis. Letting her hands roam over his body, she grazed them over his huge chest and down his abdomen, and she let her fingers run along the trail of hair that led to his pants. She undid the button, slid the zipper down, and soon was able to see his boxers. Looking up, she smiled and noticed that his green eyes had turned dark, and there was a streak of red that covered his cheeks. She felt his hand on the back of her head as he pulled it toward his and pressed his mouth into hers. And like magic, her brain slowed and the hum left, and all she was left with was desire pulsing through her body.

Standing, he lifted her in his arms and moved toward the bed.

Her legs wrapped around his waist as she let out nervous laughter.

“I think we should take advantage of this big bed, because I’m going to need a little room to explore.” Leaning over, he threw the comforter off and then gently placed her in the center. He took a moment to enjoy the view of Dr. Ana James laid out on his bed with only a wisp of pink panties covering her. Desire shot through his body again as all of the feelings rolling around in his chest tried to escape. He pulsed with need to cover her body with his, to drive into her moist heat and feel the agonizing pleasure of releasing inside her. He quickly pushed his pants down his legs and was soon free when he heard Ana say, “Condoms.”

He slowly processed her request. “I have condoms.”

Ana lay on the bed and watched the lion of a man stalk into the bathroom. He soon came back with an economy size box of condoms. “Do you think there are enough there, Jack?”

Setting them down, he replied, “I think so. I’m going to get the latest results of my medical exam, so this should hold us until tomorrow.”

He fell on top of her and broke his landing with his arms as he leaned up on them. Watching her laugh, he figured it was a good a start as any. “This is my last first time, and I don’t want to miss a thing.” Her hands moved to his boxers, and he felt like singing hallelujah, but worried it might distract her, so he helped her slide them down his legs instead. Dropping his mouth to her lips, he gave her a gentle kiss and then moved down her neck and across her collar bone. Her skin was as soft as silk and tasted perfect against his mouth.  Her heart beating against her rib cage, told him he was on the right path as he moved his mouth across her breast. Looking down, satisfaction filled him at the sight of her glistening nipples, moistened from his tongue and tight with desire. He was painfully hard, and yet his discomfort was nothing compared to the pleasure building deep within him. Her hand lifted, grazed over his abdomen and then skidded down his body. “If I let you get your hands on me, then this will be over too soon.” Shifting out of her reach, he dropped his mouth to her stomach, and moved his hands down her hip bones and made his way over to her folds. Running his fingers slowly around, he felt her wet heat against his fingers and sang a silent song of triumph.

She ran her hands through his soft blond hair and almost tugged as the pleasure became too great. “Now, Jack. Please…now.”

He lifted himself up, grabbed a foil wrapper from the box, and ripped it with his teeth. Covering himself quickly, he laid his body over hers, a satisfied glint filled his eyes. He positioned himself against her throbbing core then slid slowly and delicately along her slick folds.

His body hovered inches from hers, and she let her hands stroke his arms lightly. Smiling into his eyes, she felt his hips push into hers as a massive wave of desire passed through her body. She was right. Jack Ellis was magnificent. He let his head drop, and his cheek lay against hers as his breaths tickled her skin. She felt him slowly push himself inside as her body attempted to expand to accommodate him. She moved her hips a little and tried to see if that would relieve some of the pressure. “Go slow, Jack. It’s going to take me a minute to adjust.”

“I know, sweetie. You should have let me play before we started this. I’m a big man.”

“I can feel that you’re a big man. It’s wonderful, but my goodness…..”

Pulling out slowly, he slid gently back in and was rewarded with easier passage. He moved his mouth and kissed her with all of the desire that he felt, and stayed still as he let his tongue move against her. Her body began to relax as he pushed in a little farther.
Success
.
Slow is fast; fast is slow
. Soon, he was seated inside of her and decided he was never going to leave. Being enveloped in Ana’s tight heat was where he was going to stay. Life outside of this bed, no longer mattered. He felt a squeeze on his shoulder, and he opened his eyes and smiled down into the rest of his life.

“You can move now, Jack. Everything fits, and it’s all systems go.”

“I just want to stay right here.”

“You can, but I’d like it if you could move around a little. I’m right on the edge, and I’d like you to help me out.”

“All right, but I want to go on record as saying that I would like an immediate return invitation.”

“You got it. I’ll give you whatever you want as long as you start moving those hips of yours.” She watched a smile spread across his face with a look that suggested good things were in store for her. He proved to be a man unleashed as he pumped in and out, and soon it was too much. She called his name as wave after wave of pleasure rolled through her body. She felt his ferocious need in every pump of his hips, and soon what they were doing became life altering. Her arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders as she heard his shout of release. It came out of him like a wild cry as he called her name and let himself go.

His hands gripped her hips as he lost everything. There was now a dividing line in his life—before this and now. Every single one of his molecules reorganized themselves as his body blew apart, and pleasure reigned through his body. His hips continued to rock gently as he tried to pull himself back together. He wondered if there was going to be anything left of him after it was all over, as the last shudder passed through his body, and his arms collapsed. Falling on top of her, he heard a huff of breath and realized that he couldn’t lie on top of her without crushing her. He rolled over and opened one eye as his gaze fell over her body. She wasn’t moving, but there was a smile on her face. A good sign. He wasn’t capable of speech, so he rolled on his side, draped his arm across her and laid his head on her stomach. He felt her hand in his hair and closed his eyes against the pleasure of it.

Waking up slowly, he tried to move through the layers of sleep as his body signaled satisfaction and happiness. He moved one hand and felt the smooth silkiness of Ana’s skin. Lifting his head, he felt her hands fall away from his hair, as he looked into her face. She was asleep with a small smile on her lips. He slowly got up and walked to the bathroom to get rid of the condom. He’d never passed out like that before. Returning to the bedroom, he noticed that she hadn’t moved an inch—she was dead to the world. He slowly lowered himself on the bed and took the opportunity to admire her again. His need roared back to life, so he dropped his mouth to her shoulder, and let himself explore.

The first time had been too fast, and he needed to see what she was all about. She tasted sweet, and there was the faint smell of vanilla. Raising his eyes, he gazed over her naked form and allowed himself to study her for the first time. She had long limbs and a nice rounded body. He moved his hands up her stomach and discovered that his hands covered her waist completely. She must have felt his attention, because she started to stir. He placed his mouth against her skin again and kissed her from her bellybutton to her neck, taking a little extra time on her breasts. By the time he looked into her face, she was beaming. “I get to play this time and take all of the time that I want.”

Ana lifted her head and kissed him. “I can’t move any of my limbs. Do you think that’s normal?”

“You don’t have to move a thing; just lie back and let me know when I do something you like.”

“I like what you’re doing now.”

“Sweetie, I’m not doing anything. I’m lying on top of you and talking.”

She wiggled her hips, and he understood what she was talking about. “Sorry, you’re going to have to wait for that.” He kissed her mouth and then pulled on her bottom lip with his teeth. “This is going to be a long ride of pleasure. Now relax and behave.”

She lifted her hand and saluted him. “Message received. I await your orders.” She laughed at her own joke. 

Moving down her body, he took his time and made sure that he knew everything about her by the time his mouth met her bikini line. He kissed her hipbone then skimmed his mouth over her and felt her hips jolt as he slicked his mouth over her. Her fingers threaded through his hair, and she pressed his mouth closer. Owning her pleasure, made him feel a powerful rush as her body exploded and she screamed his name. He held onto her hips until she came down, then shifted his body so he was cradled in her hips. Entering her in one long hard thrust gave him the same feeling as scoring a touchdown. Perfect bliss. Ana James was his answer.

CHAPTER NINE

Monday Morning

Ana felt Jack wrapped around her like an anaconda. He had a firm grasp on her, even though he was dead to the world. She tried to slip out of his arms, but his hold tightened. His breath tickled her neck as he whispered good morning. “Good morning, Jack.” His grip loosened, and she was able to turn over and look. He was smiling with his eyes closed as he ran his hand up and down her back.

“I like waking up next to you. Let’s do this every day,” Jack whispered. He tilted his hips into hers and felt the welcoming heat of her skin. “Every day.”

“I don’t know about that, Jack.”

“I want you to know that I’m going to properly win your heart, Ana. I’m going to woo you until you can’t resist falling head over heels in love with me.”

She waved her hands in the air. “Let the wooing begin. I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do.”

Laughing, he rolled on top of her, and held her face in his hands. “Sweetie, you have no idea what you’re in for.” Her legs fell completely open in invitation. “Just for the record, this isn’t wooing, unless of course you are feeling wooed.”

His mouth ran along her neck as he placed small kisses along her skin. His hips moved gently into her as he entered her slowly. Her breath caught as he entered her. “I’m feeling wooed….keep going.” Lifting his head, he smiled down at her, and she caught the look of mischief in his eyes. “No really, Jack….please don’t stop.”

“Oh you mean this?” He pulled out and then plunged in using the strength of his legs. Her body arched into him as her fingers gripped his arms tightly. Her legs went around his back, and he figured that he’d teased her enough, so he dropped a quick kiss and then really put some effort into wooing her.

Just as she was enjoying the blissful glow of sexual satisfaction and an empty mind, she heard Jack’s phone beep and then hers. She didn’t even know where hers was, but it was somewhere in the room. Jack rolled off and reached for his on the dresser. She buried herself under the covers and tried to see if she could ignore the world for a while longer. She was about to drift back to her happy place when she felt Jack lean over her and kiss her head.

“Sweetie, there are some more pictures of us, and the rags have taken an interest in you.” He watched her pull the sheet over her head and wiggle farther under the blankets. “I’ll make coffee, and then we can figure out a game plan. We’re going to shut this thing down before it becomes a problem.” He watched her whip the sheet off her head and stare. “Right…I’ll go make the coffee now.”

She sat up and the sheet fell away, exposing her beautiful body to him. Even with the potential disaster looming out there, he couldn’t resist putting his mouth on hers. He felt her hand against his chest as she pushed him back.

“Coffee…first.” She smiled, got out of bed, walked into the bathroom, and shut the door.

He watched her retreating figure and decided he’d set the timer on the coffee pot in the future, because he didn’t want to miss out on any more showers.

Returning to the bedroom, he saw Ana in his robe, sitting on the chair in front of the window. Her hair was wet, and she was wearing her glasses and writing in a small notebook. He sat and put her coffee cup down on the small wood table that separated the chairs. “Sweetie.” Watching her hand fly up in a stop signal, he swallowed his words, sat back, and watched her as she wrote quickly. He hoped that it had nothing to do with the pictures that were on TMZ Sports website. This was an unfortunate part of his life, and he didn’t want Ana to be caught up in it, but at the same time, he wasn’t going to let her go.

Finally satisfied that she had gotten most of it down, she glanced over and smiled. She picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, “You make good coffee.” Sitting back in the chair, she tucked her foot underneath her body and peacefully drank her coffee as she gazed out over the big back yard. She loved when she had a breakthrough and had a feeling that this was going to be a good one.
