Free Blazing Hearts: Books 1-3 by Kennedy Kovit

manage to cause such chaos in his life was beyond him.
    As he thought about Teresa in the house, her naked form soaking in his tub, his balls began to ache as his cock hardened. He cursed under his breath and actually considered jerking off where he stood to alleviate the problem.
    “Dammit, woman.” With a growl, he took his porch steps two at a time and stomped into his home, straight to his bedroom. “I think it’s time I had my say.”

    T eresa unlocked the bathroom door and then proceeded to step into the tub of warm water. The gown she wore from the hospital laid in a puddle on the floor. All of her clothing was lost, along with her car and anything else she had in it. Emotions welled and she sank under the water, letting the tub hide her tears.
    There was a large boom and suddenly a blur fell into the bathroom. Gasping, Teresa sat up fast, her arms covering her breasts instinctively. Her mouth fell agape as she looked over the side of the tub to see Jake lying there.
    He pushed up and partially off the floor, his muscles flexing as he did. He turned his head slightly. “I thought the door was locked. I was going to pound on it and yell and…” He stopped speaking, his gaze trapped on her.
    He’d seen her naked before. He’d been the first man she’d ever allowed the honor. He’d been so gentle with her even though she’d known he’d wanted to be rough. He’d taken his time with her, and he’d made her body sing in a way it had never done again. She’d come home for Jake. Come home to see if he’d take her back and if they could make a go at something real again.
    With all her courage, Teresa lowered her arms, exposing her breasts to him.
    Jake’s hands slipped out from under him and he fell flat on the floor again. He shot up into a seated position. “Teresa!”
    She held her chin high, refusing to cover herself. “I pick you fucking me eight ways from Sunday.”
    He blinked. “What?”
    A second or two passed and he blinked again, his eyes growing wider. “Teresa!”
    “You said that already,” she responded. “Now, are you going to spend time on the floor gawking or are you planning to fuck me eight ways from Sunday, cowboy?”
    His mouth opened and then closed it. He repeated the action.
    Was her cowboy at a loss for words?
    The tiniest of smiles started on her face.
    Jake snapped out of his daze and leaned over the edge of the tub. He grabbed her by the back of the neck and drew her toward him. His lips covered hers and his kiss was scorching hot. Her entire body tingled with need.
    He trailed his hand down to her breast. He cupped it and then circled the nipple, making it harden instantly. “Woman,” he said, breaking their kiss slightly. “I’m not a man to tease. You know that.”
    “I do,” she whispered.
    “There are things we should do, things we should talk about.” He stayed close to her lips, his hand on her nipple as he toyed with it.
    Each slight tug on her nipple made her womb respond. Oh, how she wanted this man.
    “Or we could make up for lost time.”
    Jake squeezed her nipple hard, eliciting a yelp of pleasure from her. He eased up on it and stared at her, his gaze hard. “You don’t know what you’re asking of me right now, Teresa. You don’t know how on edge I am. I can’t pull back once I start, and you’re not ready for all of me. For all my kink. We had this talk once before and the next day you were gone.”
    “I am ready now,” she confessed. She put her hand over his. “More than ready. I came home for you, for us .”
    She moved closer to him and cupped his face. She kissed him this time, sweeping her tongue into his mouth. It was bold of her. More bold than she should be, but she was desperate to set things right between them. Jake responded with a throaty growl and pinched her nipple hard. The pain excited her and she breathed through it, continuing to kiss him.
    He sucked on her tongue and moaned into her mouth, a deep, sexy moan. He drew
