bright enough for you, but that’s where
Scott kicks in. He’s super smart.”
    Ash pressed her lips to his mouth and just
held herself there, melting against him and pushing waves of acceptance at him.
    When she pulled back, her eyes were blazing
with heat.
    “Maybe you can teach me a thing or two
about football so I can appreciate the game more?”
    You
bloody magnificent woman!
    He chuckled and slid off the seat, pulling
her with him so they were soon standing next to the table. He took out his
wallet and dropped some cash, more than enough to cover the cost, on the bill.
    “So, where are we going? You wanna see my property? Go find Scott, perhaps?”
    She shook her head and gave him the most sultry look he’d ever seen. His stomach muscles
clenched and his breath hitched in his throat as he waited for her to make the
next move.
    “No. I think you should take me back to the
motel. I need to know if there is any truth to what you’ve been saying to me,
Jack, and that means I need you to touch me.”
    Surprise and lust moved over Jack in
alternate waves, making his belly flutter and his groin tighten. He grinned at
her and planted one more fast kiss on her succulent
lips before grabbing her hand and linking their fingers once again. He liked
having at least one hand on her at all times.
    “Sure, sweetheart. That sounds like the
perfect plan to me.”
    They made their way to his car and were
back at her motel within minutes.
     

 
    Chapter Five
     
    Ash slipped her key into the lock and took
a shaking, deep breath. Her tummy was tight and jumpy, yet she turned around
and smiled as she took one of the most reckless steps of her life to date. “Do
you want to come in?”
    Jack grinned and rocked back on his heels
as he stood opposite her in the hallway of the motel. His smile was devilishly
handsome and his eyes sparkled with mischief.
    “Course I do. You sure you want me to?”
    Ash nodded and turned her back on her big
footballer, opening the door with hands that shook.
    She stepped through and held back the door
as Jack walked in, his swagger exaggerated as he moved. Butterflies wiggled and
fluttered inside her belly, her palms hot and sweaty as she rubbed them against
her pants.
    Jack wanted her, and if she was being
honest—boy did she want him. For the first time in years, she really wanted to
be with a man, feel his body on top of hers, the raw strength of him consuming
her. No one had ever inspired such needs in her before. Her insecurities
regarding her body and the true depth of her lover’s feelings for her always
inhibited her responses. Jack’s honesty and animal need for her seemed to wipe
all of that away.
    He was simply huge. Broad shoulders that
tapered into a lean waist, an ass so fine she was dying to dig her nails into
it. He prowled into the room, radiating a sexual beat loud enough to drown out
a rock concert.
    He turned around and looked at her, his
blue eyes burning. He opened his arms out wide. “You gonna come here, my beautiful woman?”
    His words sank into her, slipping around
the guard she held around her heart and penetrating deep. She’d invited him to
her room, yet he was still giving her free choice. There wasn’t going to be any
uncomfortable, forced groping with this man. “I’m not yours yet, Jack,” she
teased as she walked forward, unable to resist the pull.
    Jack was gorgeous, it was true, but her
inability to resist him was built on so much more than that.
    “Why do I feel so safe with you?” She
looked up at him as she moved closer, gasping as his big hands grabbed her ass
and pulled her against him.
    Heat flared in her belly and she stifled
the moan that rose from the pressure his body against hers aroused.
    He squeezed her rump and grinned, his face
lighting up with that cheeky, happy smile that she was beginning to associate
with him. It made her heart feel light, elated.
    “Because you are mine, Ash. You’re our fated mate. This was planned
long before we
