away
before, but now? Now there was no going back. And she wouldn’t have wanted it
any other way. She needed to do something just for her for once. Something indulgent.
    “So we forget everything?” she asked, tilting
her head back and offering her lips to him.
    Jake didn’t need to be asked twice. He leaned
in close, arms around her, holding her tight as he gently placed a kiss to her
mouth, slowly teasing her with his tongue, deepening their kiss as she moaned.
    “We forget everything. Tonight is just you and
me.” He laughed as she pulled back and started pressing wet kisses to his neck
instead.  
    Jake pushed her, gently, on to her back. He
kicked off his boots and socks, unbuttoning his shirt at the same time. Faith
just lay and watched him as he peeled of his clothes, eyes wide as she took in
his thick, muscled arms, tanned dark from so many hours out under the sun. She
wanted to reach out and touch him, to pull him down on top of her, but she was
also enjoying the show.
    “Faith?”
    Jake’s low voice, the huskiness of his tone,
made her smile, even though it scared the hell out of her. She nodded.
    “Just you and me?”
    Faith grinned. He wanted to forget everything
else for a night? Then game on.
    “You and me,” she repeated, eyes trawling down
his almost naked body and then back to his face again.
    If
only she was brave enough to tell Jake exactly what she wanted him to do to
her.

CHAPTER FIVE
    “YOU know I don’t usually do this kind of
thing, right?” Faith pushed Jake back, her palms planted firmly against his
chest.
    He laughed. “I don’t care.”
    Faith groaned. “But I need you to know. I’m not
a one night stand kind of girl.”
    Jake grabbed her wrists and put her hands back
down at her sides. “And I’m not the kind of guy who asks girls to stay over, so
go figure.”
    Faith smiled at the way he was watching her –
like he’d eat her up for dinner if he could, every last bite.
    “Any other confessions?” he teased, keeping
hold of her wrists so he could trace a circle of kisses across her stomach.
    She
needed to learn to keep her mouth shut.
    Jake stopped. He dropped his head so they were
touching, nose to nose.
    “What’s wrong?”
    Faith’s face burned hot. She wished she’d just
been able to switch off the part of her brain that was freaking her out.
    “It’s just, well…” Damn it! “I kind of had a pact with myself that I was sworn off
men, and I haven’t, ahem, been…”
    Now he was grinning. “You’re worried you’ve
forgotten what to do.”
    She laughed, it was
all she could do. That was one sentence she was pleased someone else had
finished for her.
    “Something like that,”
she mumbled, grabbing hold of his shoulders so she could pull him down and bury
her face against his chest.
    Jake gently pushed her back, settling down on
top of her and forcing her to look up at him. He held her gaze, steady, like
nothing would ever faze him.
    “How about we take things slow? You tell me
what to do, what you like.”
    She shook her head. There was no way she could tell him.
    Jake raised an eyebrow. “Or you could just tell
me if I do anything you don’t like.”
    Faith smiled, but the devilish grin he gave her
in reply wiped the smile away. Because everything about Jake right now was
sinful, right down to the dimple he flashed her as he yanked her top up. She
let him, holding up her arms for him to remove it.
    He went to reach underneath her to unhook her
bra, but she shook her head.
    “No?” Jake chuckled. “I’ll let you keep it,
then. For a few more minutes.”
    Faith’s heart was starting to race, but she
wasn’t nervous anymore. Now? Now she was excited,
quivering with anticipation. Jake had made her pulse ignite from the moment
he’d taken her into his home, and there was no way she was backing out of this,
even if she wasn’t quite ready to strip naked just yet.
    “Can we turn the lights off?” she asked.
    He shook his head and grinned.
