Chapter 8: Raw And Desperate

JAYDEN

Jayden knew he was losing control, but he didn’t care. Who really looked out for Hailey? She had just broken up with her boyfriend. Was she heartbroken? Was she happy in Colorado? Why did she stay there now that her relationship was over?

“I’m doing good,” she said quietly, finally meeting his eyes.

“What about your ex-boyfriend? How can you be okay?”

She gave him a small, weak smile. “I think it was time. We just weren’t right for each other. I’ll get over it.” She hesitated. “What’s going on with you, Jayden? Is something wrong? You seem…troubled.”

For some reason, the fact that Hailey sounded like a caring friend drove him insane. “Nothing’s wrong, but I do have a problem.”

“What?” Hailey asked softly.

“You,” he growled, grabbing her hand and pressing it against his hard cock. “I can’t stop wanting you. I’ve wanted you for what feels like forever. I could get on my jet and fly back to New York, but distance won’t fix it anymore. I’d still be thinking about you, jerking off to fantasies of being so deep inside you that you can’t think of anything else but me.” He slid his hand behind her neck and crushed his mouth to hers before she could say another word or deny what was between them. He came completely undone when she climbed onto his lap, pushed him back onto the carpet, and covered him with her body. She tangled her fingers in his hair and kissed him like her life depended on it. Her tongue met his with equal fire, as if she had never known desire before and now had to have it—immediately.

He gripped her hips and pulled her hot center against his erection, cursing the denim that kept them apart. Her silky hair brushed his neck and fell like a curtain around them as their kiss turned wild and desperate, making him groan into her mouth.

Need. To. Be. Inside. Her. Now.

Finally, Hailey tore her lips from his. “I think I have the same problem you do,” she whispered breathlessly. She buried her face in his neck and dragged her tongue over every bit of skin she could reach.

“Jesus,” Jayden rasped, stunned and thrilled that Hailey was this wild and out of control. He held her on his lap while he sat up, grabbed the hem of her sweatshirt, and pulled it over her head. When he unclasped her bra, her breasts spilled free—plump, perfect, and beautiful, her nipples already tight with need. “Beautiful.”

“Off.” Hailey tugged at his sweatshirt.

He yanked it off without hesitation. Their bare skin pressed together as his hands slid down her naked back.

I. Need. Her.

Jayden lay back and took Hailey with him. He rolled her onto her back, her body trapped under his, her legs locking around his waist. His cock pulsed as he looked down at her—her hair spread wild across the carpet, her eyes dark and burning with passion.

“Jayden, I—”

He caught a flicker of fear in her eyes and silenced her by pressing his finger to her lips. “Don’t speak, Hailey. Don’t say no unless you truly don’t want this.” But he knew she did. She was burning just as hot as he was. He slid down and unbuttoned her jeans, tugged the zipper open, and pulled them off her shapely legs along with her panties. “I need to taste you,” he rasped, aching to see her come undone.

“How?” she whispered urgently.

Jayden hovered over her, her eyes shining with both need and confusion. “Christ. Haven’t you ever made love in any other way besides fucking?” Her ex must have been a complete idiot. How could he not have wanted to worship Hailey?

“No,” she admitted shyly. “Not really.”

“I’ll show you.” His voice was rough with need, desperate to be the first man to make her come like this.

Hailey’s naked body stretched out on the cream carpet in the firelight was a vision Jayden knew he’d never forget. She looked like a dream brought to life.

No…she looked even better.

I’ve never imagined her like this.

Not even in his dirtiest dreams had he seen her this way. Jayden knew exactly what he wanted—to make her come until no other man could ever satisfy her. Fuck, he was already completely gone, and he wanted her just as desperate for him as he was for her. Greedy or not, he didn’t give a shit. He needed to feel Hailey’s hunger for him.

He lowered his head to her breast, sucking her nipple into his mouth while his fingers played with the other.

“Jayden.” Hailey moaned, sliding her hands through his hair and pulling him harder against her breast.
