Free A Man to Trust by Cheryl Yeko Page B

rolled through her, tightening her nipples. She licked her lips and stared into his darkened gaze.
    His eyes flamed with desire. He leaned down and kissed the tops of her breasts. First one, then the other, then sucked a sensitive nipple into his mouth, sending a shockwave of pleasure to the apex of her thighs.
    “Jake,” she purred.
    He lifted his head and their eyes locked. “I love the way you say my name.” His hand slid to the inside of her legs and caressed a path of fire to the part of her that wept for him.
    “Say it for me, Angel,” he whispered.
    Holding her with a steady gaze, he pushed her panties aside and brushed his thumb across her sensitive bud, testing her. She inhaled sharply at the intense pleasure induced from his soft caress. With a sexy glint in his eyes, he thrust a finger inside her body. A look of satisfaction crossed his face when she moaned her pleasure and trembled in his arms.
    “Jake,” she managed, as another wave of pleasure coursed through her. A sensation she’d only dreamed of washed over her. She wanted more. More of this pleasure, more of his touch, more of him.
    He chuckled, then lowered his mouth to hers and took her in a long hard kiss as his finger began a slow dance that drove her higher and higher.
    His arm around her waist kept her from sinking onto the couch. Holding her tightly against him, he continued his intimate exploration. She gasped and her body quivered when a second finger joined his first as he carried out his wicked dance of seduction.
    Jake lifted his head and watched her with eyes that burned hot. “God you’re beautiful,” he murmured. His thumb moved to the tiny bud between her folds and sent her spiraling over the edge into a chasm of ecstasy. She gasped, then closed her eyes as she shuddered with her orgasm.
    Jake’s breathing grew harsh, then he took her mouth in a deep, searing kiss. He continued with soft gentle strokes inside her as tiny aftershocks of pleasure shook her.
    When he lifted his mouth from hers, she met eyes that still burned, sending another quiver through her.
    He gave her a sexy grin.
    Angela stared at him in a daze. “I—I didn’t know it could be like that,” she breathed.
    The grin dropped from his face. “What?”
    Her mind snapped back into focus and her heart skipped a beat. What had she just said? Too much. She shook her head. “Nothing.”
    His body was taut, his rock-hard erection still pressed against her bottom. He removed his hand from between her legs and his eyebrows drew together. “Was that your first orgasm, Angel?”
    Blood rushed to her cheeks and she looked quickly away. “Of course not,” she lied.
    Even to her own ears, her words rang with bitterness. She grimaced and refused to meet his penetrating stare. Her pleasure had not been high on Scott’s lovemaking radar. It was only something she’d found on her own, never at the hands of a lover.
    There was a long moment of silence and she dared to sneak a peek at him. He studied her with a deep scowl on his face. Her insides quivered. The intensity of his gaze scorched her. He set her away from him, adjusting the shirt she wore so that it properly covered her.
    “Things got a little out of hand. I think it would be best if we called it a night.” His body was tense and a muscle pulsed at his jaw. He rose to his feet and studied her with narrowed eyes.
    Angela eased herself off the couch, not sure what had just happened. He seemed angry, as though he was about to explode. Her unease blossomed and she slowly backed away, until she put a safe distance between them. Without another word, she hurried to the safe sanctuary of her room.
    Jake watched Angela flee the room with a look of fear in her eyes.
    What the hell?
    He took a step forward to follow and stopped, turning instead to walk to his floor-to-ceiling picture window and stare out. He needed to keep his distance for a while. Get his head on straight. That he’d frightened her, for even a second,
