JAYDEN Most likely, he was imagining it. Hailey had had boyfriends before, the last one for several years, a deadbeat with no job, obviously a selfish bastard judging by Hailey’s lack of experience. He just fucked Hailey and ghosted her. That thought made Jayden insane. Hailey had a big heart, and he hated the idea of anyone taking advantage of her. His fingers flew over his laptop keyboard as he opened his private email. Searching, he finally found the email Gavin had sent to everyone when he got engaged. He found her name in the group and started a new email to her: I need to know you made it home safe and that you’re okay. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll find you. J. He hit Send harder than necessary. Her reply came that evening, when Jayden was home in his New York penthouse: I’m back in Aspen, and I’m alright. H. Leaning back in his desk chair, he closed his eyes. Fuck !He wanted more. Sure, he wanted to know she was safe, but he also wanted her to say more, t
HAILEY No. I’m not okay. I’m broken. I want you so much, but I can’t take the final step. Her breath came in short, harsh gasps. Her heart raced, and her body shook with fear. Slowly, her mind cleared, and she looked up at the man she wanted so badly. Jayden. He’d given her the most intense pleasure she’d ever felt, and she knew she’d made him feel good too, but she couldn’t give herself fully. She couldn’t fully give herself to anyone. “I’m not ready, Jayden,” she said nervously. Waves of disappointment hit her, and she wrapped her arms around herself. The emotional pain was overwhelming. He pulled her trembling, naked body into his lap. “Too soon after your ex-boyfriend?” He sounded both worried and frustrated. He wrapped his arms around her, and she rested her head on his shoulder. “Yes.” The excuse wasn’t really true, but it worked. Tears ran down her cheeks, and she closed her eyes, her heart aching. She had hoped. She had wanted. She had tried because it was Jay
HAILEY “Oh, God. Jayden. I can’t take this,” she cried as hot waves of pleasure shot from her stomach to her core. Her climax hit her hard, shaking her body, and she moaned, “Jayden, Jayden.” Her body went limp, spent, as she panted, slick with sweat. She let go of his hair and dropped her hands to the sides of her head. God. What Jayden had done to her body left her completely exposed and feeling vulnerable. It was amazing but also a little scary. She had given him full control of her body, and he had pleased her like it was the only thing that mattered. His strong, intense energy was impossible to resist. He crawled up her body. His big, strong frame pinned her underneath him. Jayden had a muscular, sculpted body that made her breath catch when he pulled off his sweatshirt. Jayden kissed her, and she tasted herself on his lips. Their flavors mixed, and her body clenched with desire so strong that she moaned into his mouth. He pulled back with a strangled groan and went
The moment she moaned his name in pleasure, Jayden knew he was completely lost in his fucking fantasy, and he had no desire to be found anytime soon. His control was gone, taken from him by the needy, throaty sound of his name on Hailey’s lips. Jayden went after what he wanted with everything he had, his mind focused only on the woman who could make him lose himself completely. HAILEY Hailey knew her body had won the battle between her mind and her desire. Her need for Jayden was so strong that she couldn’t fight it anymore; she didn’t even want to argue with herself about it. She just wanted to take him completely, which she’d almost done when she’d jumped him. Needing to feel close to him, wanting to explore her own growing desires, she let her instincts take over, and every part of her wanted this with Jayden. One night. I just want this one night with him. She hadn’t wanted to explain why she was inexperienced, and luckily, Jayden hadn’t asked. Now, she accepted what he g
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, jerki
JAYDEN Jayden forced his dirty mind to shut the fuck up. It had been a good night, and he didn’t want to ruin it. What he’d told her earlier was true. With Hailey, he didn’t have to pretend to be someone else. They’d come back to Hailey’s house in the city after the fireworks, after stopping at the all night market to buy things for marshmallows. Both had changed into jeans and sweatshirts before sitting by the fire. “I will,” he said. “I was just busy watching you. You looked like you enjoyed it.” Jayden had enjoyed it too, but now he sat there with a hard-on that wouldn’t quit. “I did.” She nodded. “I don’t let myself eat chocolate very often anymore.” “Why?” He pushed a marshmallow onto the stick and held it over the fire. Not eating chocolate every day was unthinkable to him. He wanted it almost as much as sex. Well…not as much as he wanted sex with Hailey, but enough to always keep some around. Hailey rolled her eyes. “I think I have plump genes. I’m not exactly skin
