Free Dating a Metro Man by Donna McDonald Page A

earlier. Calm was a word she always used condescendingly with Seth. She now knew better. He was patient. He was willing to wait and work for what he wanted. That didn’t seem as bad to her now that she knew he used that approach to everything—including her.
    “How long do you think it will take you to catch up?” Jena asked, her throat tight as she choked out the words. She didn’t really want to think of Seth waiting or why he had done so. She wasn’t ready to like him again for being there for Casey and suffering with his cousin through his loss.
    “I have no idea, but I’m not an animal. I can wait for next time,” Seth said, laughing and holding her serious gaze. “I just wanted to explain why I don’t seem to be able to get enough of you.”
    Jenna separated their bodies then, but she did so nicely. “Is your shower big enough for two people?”
    Seth rolled out of bed, removed the condom from himself, and held out a hand to her. “Absolutely.”
    They washed themselves and each other, not lingering too long. The shower felt more intimate than everything else they had done so far. They talked little and Seth handed her a large bath sheet afterward that almost touched her ankles.
    The woman was at least five foot seven, he thought, but Jenna seemed really petite to him tonight.
    When they finally made it back to the bed, Jenna pushed him back on it with one hand. “I know one thing guaranteed to knock you out and make you sleep,” she told him, bending to kiss his knee and up the inside of his thigh.
    “Jenna, you don’t have to seduce me. I’m already seduced. You certainly don’t have to—you know what I mean,” Seth said roughly, mind reeling as she continued to explore him with her mouth. “Look—I’m not going to be able to stop you if you keep that up.”
    “Good,” Jenna said, “no condom either. I want this without it. After what you told me, I trust you with this. Let me do what I want.”
    Seth laughed as she ran her tongue along the other thigh and back up to run it along his hard, aching erection. “You can always do whatever you want with me. I just didn’t want you to think— Jenna. ” With her mouth moving over him and her hair spilling between his legs, all Seth could say was her name.
    When her hands got involved, he grabbed the bed sheets trying to maintain some decorum with her. Not long after, he heard someone calling out in a tortured voice and realized with shock it was him. Still her mouth kept moving even after that until he forgot everything but the woman he was happy to let control him.
    When Jenna finally let go and kissed her way up Seth’s body to his mouth, she devilishly plunged her tongue in deep. It pleased her to hear him whimper into her mouth. His compliance was the headiest pleasure she’d had tonight. If there was pride at his slack jaw and blurred gaze, so what? She’d been motivated, and Seth had been fairly easy to please.
    Payback, Jenna decided, just payback for the first orgasm Seth had given her. She refused to give any other definition to what she had just done to and for him. She certainly wasn’t going to confess that it had been the first time she’d completed that act with any man, or that she wanted to repeat it with him again.
    Drunk on feeling like she was finally in control of at least one thing that happened between them, Jenna quietly acknowledged it was not a sterling character moment for her. But it was a true one for her nature. She was very pleased with herself—and Seth.
    “I need to go now,” Jenna whispered against his lips. “Can I come back in a few days?”
    “Come any time,” Seth said, lifting his hand to her hair again, wishing he could ask her stay so he could hold her. “I’m going to think of a hundred ways to please you between now and then. You’re obviously better in bed than I am, and I’m very competitive.”
    Jenna put her face against his shoulder to stifle her laughter and her pink face. Maybe she
