  61. About Boldwood Books

I smiled. ‘Your pep talk helped me. You were right. I don’t want to be anything like how Hayley is as an agent. How mad was she when you turned down the deal she got you?’

‘Very,’ Jake said. ‘But do you want to talk about that now, or later?’

‘Later,’ I said quickly, earning me one of his smouldering smiles.

Jake gave my hair a little tug, pulling my lips closer to his. I smiled, liking his bedroom moves. ‘Now I’ve got you on my bed, what shall I do with you?’ he asked, his tone gruff, his eyes darkening as they looked into mine.

‘Anything you like,’ I purred back to Jake’s question, thinking about how horny I had been since New York. I wriggled on his bed. ‘I want you to touch me like you did in the hotel.’ Jake made me bolder in the bedroom than I ever thought I could be.

‘I think I might have less control than I did in New York; I’ve missed you so much. I want to drive you as crazy as I know you’ll drive me,’ he replied, brushing his lips against mine. He tugged me again and kissed me harder, parting my lips with his tongue. The kiss turned hungry and I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him down on top of me.

‘You do drive me crazy,’ I whispered as he pulled the strap of my dress down and kissed my bare shoulder. He pulled it further down and kissed the base of my neck, his hand brushing over my chest. He was moving so slowly, my frustrated body protested under my clothes. I sighed. ‘Just take my clothes off,’ I begged him then. Jake lifted up his head, his eyes finding mine. I felt myself blush. ‘Oops, I just…’

‘Don’t ever apologise for wanting me to get you naked. I was trying to be restrained when all I want to do is rip them off, quite frankly,’ he said with a mischievous grin. ‘Sit up,’ he added huskily.

‘I like it when you tell me what to do,’ I admitted then. I sat up and he told me to lift my arms, which I did. He pulled my dress off easily in one move. ‘In the bedroom,’ I amended, because that was the only place I would allow it.

Jake winked at me. ‘Noted, Freya. And it’s the only place I’d want to tell you what to do…’

This man was swoony. There was no other word for it.

He climbed off the bed. ‘Come here, baby, please,’ he said to me. I scooted off the bed and stood up in my underwear. ‘Undress me,’ he begged.
