Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) (8 page)

"Wow, Jess. You look stunning."

Her cheeks pinked as he swept his eyes over her with unmistakable appreciation.

"Thanks. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that you look great."

*******

Jessa's wide but shy grin made Rob want to hold her in his arms and kiss those luscious lips he'd been dreaming about for a week.

He noticed her eyeing his bag and the box he was holding.

"I haven't checked in at my hotel yet. I thought I'd leave my bag here while we go to dinner."

"Sure."

He dropped his bag to the side and held out the box to her. "And I brought this for you."

"What is it?"

"Here, have a look."

Jessa opened the box and laughed. "Were these the desserts we were supposed to have but didn't get to eat on our last date?"

"Yup," he said, grinning.

"That's so sweet. Thank you. Does that mean we eat dessert here tonight?"

His eyes darkened as he thought of what else he wanted to have tonight. "That's an option," he managed to say.

Jessa turned towards the kitchen and he followed.
Like a puppy dog
, he thought to himself wryly.

"Let me put this in the fridge, then we can go. Where are we going, by the way?"

Jessa bent to re-arrange the contents of her fridge so she could fit in the box of desserts.

To the bedroom,
he thought as his pants instantly became tighter at the sight of Jessa's sexy ass wiggling before him.

She abruptly straightened and turned as she closed the fridge door.
Her mouth slackened and her chest heaved faster. He had no doubt his intention was written all over his face and it pleased him no end that it affected her. His heart pounded madly as she walked towards him.

"Kiss me?" she whispered.

He didn't need any further encouragement than that. "Hell, yeah," he breathed as he crushed her to him.

Jessa's lips and tongue were as hot and insistent as his as they devoured each other's mouths. Desire roared in his veins as she pressed her body to his in an unspoken invitation. He needed more from her and was desperate for more of her.

His hands were feverish and restless as they explored her body. She gasped when he grabbed her bottom and ground her hips to his. She would have noticed he was fully aroused and, judging by her reaction to him, so was she.

She moaned as his lips left her mouth to plant hot kisses on her neck. She angled her head, giving him better access as she raked a hand through his hair while the other rubbed his back heatedly.

"Jessa," he murmured against her throat. "I want you now. Say you want this, too."

"Yes," she whispered breathlessly.

He groaned and held her face between his hands so he could capture her mouth again for a searing kiss. He was tempted to take her right there in her kitchen - on her benchtop. But not for their first time. Not when her bed was only a few footsteps away. He dragged his lips away from her so he could say, "Take me to your bedroom, Jess."

For a long second, Jessa gazed back at him with naked yearning. Then she took his hand to lead him to her bed.

*******

A sudden trepidation cloaked Jessa as Rob unzipped her dress. The fire they stoked in her kitchen still burned brightly, but the journey to her bedroom brought some semblance of reality to her consciousness.

What if I turn out to be a disappointment?

She had no doubt Rob was a very experienced lover who'd had many beautiful women. And here she was, lacking sexual expertise from her limited experience. What if she was boring in bed? Maybe that was why she didn't set her previous boyfriends on fire.

She clutched her dress against her chest before it fell to the floor, her stance betraying her tension.

Rob tilted her chin up, forcing her to look straight into his eyes. "Jess? What's wrong?"

She chewed on her lower lip, not knowing how to express her fears to him.

"Nervous?" he prompted.

"Yes, and … well, yes."

He chuckled. "So am I."

She looked at him suspiciously. "You couldn't be. You're just saying that to make me feel better."

"No. I
am
nervous."

"Why?"

"Honestly, I don't know," Rob said softly.

"Well, Rob Granger, I don't think you have a good reason to be nervous."

He smiled. "And you think you do, Jessa Allen?"

"Of course. I'm the one who's more inexperienced and … less of a hottie."

"What?" he exclaimed in disbelief. "I get the more inexperienced bit, but less of a hottie? Jessa, don't you look in the mirror?"

She blushed. "You know what I mean."

"No, I don't."

"I just don't want to disappoint you," she whispered, her hazel eyes wide and beseeching as she gazed into his questioning gray ones.

Rob's eyes softened with a look that made her heart skip a beat. "I don't think you could disappoint me, Jess." He caressed her cheek with a knuckle and stroked her lower lip with his thumb. "Let me prove that to you," he said huskily, eyes burning into her.

She melted at Rob's gaze and touch.
How does he do that? How can he stoke the fire in me with just a look, a touch?

She sighed and lifted her arms to put them around his neck, letting her dress fall to the floor.

Jessa moaned as Rob's soft lips touched hers. He held her tighter and deepened the kiss, making no effort to hide his passion. It wasn't long before she was beyond thought, allowing herself to get swept away by the tidal wave of need that crashed into her.

They mated with their mouths. Their tongues tasted. Their teeth nipped. Their lips sucked. And they weren't enough.

She was mindless, aware only of Rob's burning hands and lips on her face, her neck, her shoulders, her back. She opened her eyes when she felt Rob pull away from her only to notice she was already lying on her bed in her underwear. She watched with avid eyes as Rob unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it to the floor.
I wanted to do that,
she thought as she drank in his muscular frame. She vowed to be quicker, take charge earlier, next time.

Rob stretched himself on the bed next to her with his pants still on. "Do you have any idea how hot you make me, Jess?" he asked huskily as he ran a burning hand on her belly and raked her body with an eager gaze.

"Show me," she answered with hooded eyes.

His smile was brilliant. "With pleasure."

He knelt above her, knees on either side of her hips. He leaned, supporting himself with his elbows braced next to her shoulders. His hungry mouth was insistent on her jaw, her ear, her neck, and it was burning her up. Then he moved downward and took on a more leisurely pace.

His lips travelled to the valley between her breasts, leaving butterfly kisses along her skin. When he nuzzled her peaks through her lacy bra, she whimpered at the sensation, her fingers ardently combing through his hair.

Rob slid her bra straps off her shoulders, one after the other, to expose her erect nipples to his ravenous eyes. He grazed his lips around them slowly, maddeningly, driving her crazy. She panted with desire as she arched and angled her chest to get a nipple into his mouth. Rob let out a soft moan before capturing a hardened peak between his lips, teasing it with his tongue as his fingers tweaked its twin.

"Ohh, Rob!" Delicious currents of desire sizzled to her core, making her soaked.

In the next moment, she felt bereft as Rob stopped, raised himself up and looked down at his crotch.

She followed his gaze and impulsively reached for his belt.

"Baby, no. Not yet," Rob said in a strangled voice, stilling her hands.

She looked up at his face in surprise. "Why not?" She heard the whine in her voice.

He smiled at her fondly. "Don't tempt me. Right now, I'm torn between setting my very uncomfortable cock free and keeping it on a leash. But if you take my pants off now, we'll be finished sooner than either of us wants."

"Oh," her mouth formed a perfect O at his revelation.

"God, you're so beautiful you drive me crazy," Rob ground out as he buried his face between her perky breasts. She noticed he still avoided contact of his lower body with hers. She was amazed by his reaction to her, but she wasn't able to ponder further when his lips moved down, erasing all thoughts but what he was doing.

With impatient hands, Rob slid off her lace panties and tossed them over his shoulder. He parted her legs and knelt between them. He bent down to place hot little kisses on her thighs, moving upward until he reached his goal. "Oh, Jess, you're so wet," he croaked in an agonised whisper. He licked her sex lips, tasted her juices and teased her, avoiding that hardened nub that craved his attention.

She whimpered. "Rob, please. I want … I want …"

"Shh, baby," he crooned. "I know what you want. Soon, honey." Then he got up. This time he undid his belt and got out of his pants and boxer briefs.

She wanted to help him with that, too. But she was so reeling with need she could only look at him, panting through her open mouth.
Oh, my God! He's beautiful … and big.

When Rob pulled out a condom from his pants pocket, she found the will and energy to sit up. "I want to do that."

Rob stared at her as she took the foil packet from his hand. But instead of ripping it open and putting the condom on him, she ran her fingers over his rock-hard member.

"Oh, fuck,
Jess!
" he said through gritted teeth.

She closed her hand around his shaft and gently tugged and caressed. He was velvety soft to touch but also hard as steel. She stared, mesmerised, at the dew that formed at the tip of his cock. She licked her lips and was just about to treat herself to a taste of him when Rob stopped her progress by grasping her hair so she couldn't reach her prize.

He pried her hand away from his member. "Baby, you can play with it more later. Right now, you have to put that condom on me."

She looked up at him and pouted prettily. Then she smiled as she tore the packet and slowly rolled. Rob was panting harder by the time she was done.

Gently, he pushed her back on the bed. He lavished more attention on her lips and nipples before spreading her legs apart and settling himself back between her thighs. She was surprised he wasn't done in this position yet. He kissed around her sex again, teasing her like he did earlier. He touched her wetness with his finger and gently stroked her opening. Her hips arched towards him as she moaned. Then slowly, he touched her clit, rubbing ever so deliciously with expert strokes.

"Rob! Oh God …" she moaned, her hips bucking off the bed.

Rob slowly inserted a finger in her hot wetness and set his tongue on her throbbing clit, licking her as his finger stroked inside. Before long, she was crying out his name, shuddering in an earth-shattering climax.

Her body was still in the midst of her orgasm when Rob shifted to put his eager shaft in her. He moaned loudly as he slowly pushed in until he was fully encased in her warmth.

She keened at the incredible sensation of Rob filling her, stretching her. She opened her eyes to find him staring intently at her. His face, only inches away, registered a mixture of sheer pleasure and deep need, which she reflected back through her own uncontrollable expressions and moans. He thrust in and out at a slow, deliberate pace that had her gasping for more.

Rob moved faster, his panting getting louder as he continued to watch her watching him. She felt herself quicken and dug her fingers into Rob's back as she screamed and came hard all around him.

"Oh, fuck. Jess … arghh!" Rob trembled in her arms, coming long and loud. She held him until the last of their shudders quietened down.

*******

Rob raised himself up to look at Jessa. "Jess," he said in wonder. He couldn't say anything more than that. He was too overcome by emotions he couldn't describe.

Just as he'd predicted, she didn't disappoint. Yes, she was inexperienced but her enthusiasm and responsiveness more than made up for it. Fuck, she made him burn so bad she was easily the hottest woman he'd ever been with.

He stared at her lovely features, trying to make sense of the feelings whirling inside him. He'd contained his strong sexual attraction for her for a very long week and when that frustration was released, something from the depths of him seemed to have been unleashed as well.

Jessa reached up and stroked his cheek, her smile displaying her contentment.

After a long moment of simply staring, smiling and caressing each other's faces, he rolled off to discard the condom. When he was done, he went back to bed and gathered her in his arms.

"You know we missed our dinner reservation?" he mused, although he didn't really care about food right that minute. He was enjoying snuggling in bed with Jessa.

"Oh! Are you hungry?" she asked.

His lips curved into a salacious smile. "I will be again in a minute. After I recover."

Jessa lifted her head to look at him. Her expression was adorably shy yet eager, correctly interpreting the meaning of his heated look. He thought she was the cutest, most endearing woman he'd ever met.

"I believe I have a job of showing you how hot you make me," he crooned in her ear.

"But you're already hot without any help from me."

He laughed as he started to nibble her neck and cup her breast.

Jessa giggled. "Has it been a minute already? Have you recovered?"

He took her hand and moved it down to his hardening shaft. "Uh-huh."

Jessa's giggles died down as her focus went to what she held in her hand. "You did promise I could play with it some more."

He groaned as Jessa proceeded to do just that.

CHAPTER NINE

Jessa woke up to the sunlight streaming through her bedroom window. Her bed was unusually warmer and she turned to the cause of it. She watched him sleep peacefully, content to simply scan his handsome features, imprinting them in her mind.

Her stomach growled and she almost laughed out loud when she remembered they forgot to have a proper dinner last night. It was almost midnight when they both decided they were hungry enough for food. But since they weren't keen on taking the time to cook something, they feasted instead on the dessert Rob brought.
