Free Explosive Passion by Marissa Dobson Page A

my life without you. Yes, I’ll marry you.”
    He kissed her, long and sensual, claiming her as his again. When their lips finally parted he whispered, “Who’s going to break it to Ace?”
    “That’s all you.” She laid her hand on his chest. “It’s time for you to live up to your famous nickname and deal with the explosion also known as my brother.”
    “I wonder if I just got the short end of this deal,” he teased.
    She kissed him again. “I need to shower.” She untied the robe and let it fall to the floor.
    “I’ll lock the door and then I’m going to join you.” Watching her pad naked to the bathroom caused his shaft to harden with desire. Images of the soapy water cascading down her silky body had him quickly checking the locks before dashing after her.
    In the bathroom, he could see the outline of her body in the fogged glass door. He stripped off his shorts, tossed them on the sink, and opened the door to join her. Steam billowed out of the shower. The heat of the shower called to his tense muscles, he wanted it as much as he wanted her. She leaned against the blue and white glass mosaic tiles, the showerhead spraying water down her naked body, sending soap bubbles rushing toward the drain.
    “Damn, you’re even more beautiful wet.”
    “You’ve already had me wet.” She winked at him.
    “I plan to do it again, right now.” For a moment, he stood there enjoying the way the soap bubbles slid over her body. He gently tugged her arm, pulling her closer to him, and in one quick motion he pushed her gently against the shower wall. Giving in to temptation, he ran his hands up her slippery back.
    He crushed his mouth to hers and slid his hand between her legs. Unerringly finding her core, he teased the bundle of nerves and dragged pleasure from her in hard, hot waves. She moaned around his unrelenting kiss. He held her captive against the wall, his fingers thrusting into her as his thumb continued to wring more pleasure from her body. “Jared.” She tipped her head back, her nails clawing at shoulders as the tidal wave of orgasm smashed through her.
    “Take me,” she murmured against his mouth.
    His teeth grazed her lower lip and he pulled his hand away. She cried out in frustration, but he ignored her demands. Gripping her hips, he lifted her and spread her thighs before he drove into her with one powerful thrust. He gave her no time to catch her breath before he began rocking in and out of her. She had no control, no say as he left her mouth and kissed a path to her neck. Digging her nails into his shoulders, she held on to him as every thrust of his hips sent pulses of pleasure exploding through her. She came apart at the seams, her inner muscles clenching around him as he continued to drive into her.
    He slammed home in a frenzy and his climax burst through as a second orgasm shook her body. He held her tight until her body calmed, his hands on her hips kept her from collapsing into a heap on the shower floor. She was amazing in every way.

    W ynn sat on the edge of the bed with her cell phone in her hand and tears splashing down her face when Jared came back from the pub with sandwiches for lunch. The phone call she had been waiting for had finally come in, only it seemed like the wrong time for such news.
    “Sweet cheeks, what is it?” He knelt in front of her. “Did something happen?”
    “New York…”
    “You’ve finally heard from them? What did they say?” He held her hands in his, rubbing his thumb along her wrist.
    “The timing is all wrong.” She shook her head.
    “Oh sweetie, I’m sorry.” He started to get up to sit beside her.
    “No, it’s not that…they want my designs. It took longer than I expected for them to get back to me. I had almost given up hope, but their delay was because they wanted to offer me a larger contract. A large display and in two different Fifth Avenue shops. The contract has been sent to my office.”
    “Sweetie, that’s wonderful! Why the
