“Nope.”
    Faith felt a flush ignite her cheeks. “Compromise on the lamp?”
    Jake stared at her, long and hard, making it
almost impossible for her to stare back into his dark eyes. “Deal.”
    He reached over and flicked the switch for the
overhead light without unlocking his legs from either side of hers. It gave her the chance to look him up and
down, to stare at his stomach, the muscles that seemed to cover every inch of
his body.
    “Like what you see?”
    Now it was Faith laughing. “Yeah, maybe I do.”
    Jake moved down her body, flicking a thumb
beneath the waist of her jeans as he unhooked the button, before starting to
slowly pull them off. He stepped off the bed to remove them completely and then
sat astride her again.
    Faith was expecting him to finish undressing
her, but he didn’t. Jake just gave her a long, hard look – before lowering his
head and tracing down her skin with his tongue. It was hot and wet against her
stomach, teasing its way past her belly button. She gasped when he licked
around the edge of her panties, ducking beneath the lace for barely a second
before slowly moving back up her body. Now he was pressing kisses, slow and
delicious against her stomach and all the way to her breasts.
    Jake suckled the soft skin of her breast before
raising his eyes, looking at her, and finally reaching to unclasp her bra. She
arched her back, never taking her eyes off him, until he slipped her bra off
and closed his mouth over her nipple. Faith swallowed a moan, biting down hard
on her lip as he suckled one and caressed the other between his forefinger and
thumb. She grabbed the back of his head, forcing him to stay there, to keep
pleasuring her, but the moment she did that he pushed her back down, held her
arms at her sides again.
    She wanted to pleasure him, too, wanted to
give, but what he was doing to her? It was making her toes curl, making her
want to scream out his name, which meant
she couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to.
    “You like?” he asked, taking his mouth off her
nipple and staring down at her.
    Faith nodded – she wasn’t capable of any other
response, given that he was already on his way down her stomach again, teasing
her with his tongue.
    But this time she tensed, was nervous about
what he was about to do her, until… oh . He’d skipped past her panties, was pressing kisses to her
inner thigh, stroking his fingers down her other leg at the same time.
      “Jake…”
    “Relax,” he ordered, hardly taking his lips
from her skin. “Just relax and enjoy.”
    Jake let his fingers glide across Faith’s
thigh. Her skin was like silk and her lace underwear was enough to make him
groan – he hadn’t been expecting sexy lingerie, especially when 12 hours
earlier she hadn’t even owned a bra.
    Stop. Thinking about the fact he’d seen the very
pert outline of her breasts through her flimsy tank top while in his kitchen
this morning, and now he could move half an inch and
see the same full breasts bare, wasn’t going to help him slow down.
    Jake slipped his fingers beneath the lace,
yanking her panties down and grinning at her gasp. Faith was like a drug, an addiction he hadn’t even known he had until
now. He let her kick them off the rest of the way before bending his head,
wanting to pleasure her before giving in to his own needs.
    He’d expected more shyness, reluctance even,
but it seemed Faith had forgotten all about being demure. She rocked her hips
up towards him, inviting him, and he didn’t need any more encouragement. Jake
closed his mouth over her, tasting her, teasing her, licking and sucking her
most intimate parts. He had to force himself to go slow, to taste her like she
was the most delicate flower, because he needed to stay in control. And from the way her thighs had closed
around his head, he was guessing she liked the pace.
    He reached up her body, wanting to touch her
breasts, desperate to flip her over and
feel the heavy, soft fullness of them in
