That's Amore! - Janelle Denison [22]
He stared up at her, his eyes a smoky shade of blue, his sandy-blond hair tousled around his head. "No morning sickness to deal with today?"
"It passed as soon as I got up this morning, thank God, and I'm finding that being pregnant is making me, well, horny," she said with a shameless, tempting grin. "Just kissing you is getting me turned on."
A strangled groan vibrated deep in his throat. "Which explains your quick orgasm the other night."
"Ummm. My body is definitely more sensitive. My breasts, my sex…" she murmured in his ear as her hand found the thick length straining against the zipper of his jeans and stroked him. "And, I still owe you for the other night."
He caught her wrist before she could unzip his jeans and pulled her hand away, his expression filled with pained regret. "As much as I'd like to, we can't."
"Why not?" Before he could answer, she added, "I'll be sure to lock the front door this time so there won't be any interruptions."
"I have to go pick up Nick at the airport." He glanced at his watch. "His flight is arriving in about half an hour."
"How about a quickie, then?" she suggested, and gyrated her hips against his. "I'll get on top and do all the work. I don't think it'll take either one of us very long to come."
He gently grasped her waist to stop her provocative undulations. "Lord, I'm about to lose it right now. But the next time we make love, I want it to be slow and hot and leisurely. I want to see every inch of your body—how it's changed with the pregnancy—and kiss you everywhere. I want to do all that tomorrow night, on our wedding night."
She pouted in disappointment. "You're seriously going to make me wait?"
He chuckled at her attempt to sway him. "We're both going to wait. It's just one more night, and I promise when I have you naked beneath me, I'll give you as much pleasure as you can handle."
She brightened considerably at the thought. "Oh yeah?"
He nodded and touched his fingers to her damp bottom lip, a wealth of promises shimmering in his eyes. "I'll make you come with my fingers, with my mouth, and when I'm buried deep inside of you. And then, if that's not enough to satisfy that insatiable sexual appetite of yours, I'll do it all over again, until you're content and completely exhausted."
She shivered, knowing he was a man of his word. "You're so bad for teasing me that way."
"The wait will be so worth it," he continued, soothing her with a caress of his palm down her back and one of those I'm-crazy-in-love-with-you smiles. "And all that anticipation will make our wedding night even more spectacular."
Oh, yes, she believed him. And she really, really couldn't wait. But she'd have to.
Releasing a resigned sigh, she moved off Jason and let him up from the couch. "Go and get Nick. I have some last-minute wedding stuff to take care of, so I'll meet up with you at the wedding rehearsal tonight."
With a quick kiss to her cheek, he was out the door and gone, leaving her to take a cool shower to douse the heat and desire still thrumming through her entire body.
CHAPTER SIX
"IS IT MY IMAGINATION, or are things with your future mother and father-in-law a bit on the frosty side?"
Jason slanted his best friend, Nick, a quick glance while pulling out a credit card from his wallet to take care of the restaurant's rehearsal dinner tab. He handed the plastic card to the manager standing behind the counter, and the woman began processing the billed charges.
"Ahhh, you picked up on that, did you?" Jason commented in a droll tone.
"It was kind of hard not to notice the strained vibes coming from them, especially Nyla." Nick sent him a sympathetic look, as he was well aware of the history between Jason and his future in-laws. "They were pleasant enough to everyone during the actual rehearsal, but managed to avoid talking to you. I can tell there's definitely something going on."
"Yeah, there is." Jason rubbed at his forehead, feeling the tension of the past few hours gathering
