Chapter 42
Ruby was utterly stunned that she actually took the initiative to kiss Jaxon when he was wide awake.
She didn’t regret it one bit, because his lips tasted so good.
They just pecked lips as he was probably stunned at her sudden movement.
“I’m so sorry..” Ruby began to apologize as she quickly moved her lips away from his.
But just before she could step away, Jaxon yanked her by her waist as he moved her closer and he slammed his lips on hers.
Ruby gasped as Jaxon pulled her close, his lips crashing against hers with a passion that took her breath away.
This time, she didn’t resist as she missed him with all she got. His touch was electric, his kiss sending a wave of desire through her body.
Jaxon deepened the kiss, his arms tightening around her waist as he pressed her body flush against his.
His tongue teased hers, exploring her mouth with a fierce intensity that left her breathless.
This was not Ruby’s first kiss, she had shared a kiss with her damned Ex before, but this was actually her best kiss ever.
The way their mouths moved in rhythm as he drove his tongue inside her was just everything.
Ruby lost herself in the moment, her hands tangling in Jaxon’s hair as he kissed her with a passion that set her skin ablaze.
She could feel every inch of him pressed against her, his heart beating in time with hers. It was as though they were the only two people in the world, lost in their own private universe of desire.
As their tongues danced, she felt herself falling deeper into the spell of his kiss.
Her body responded to him instinctively, arching against him, her breath coming in soft gasps.
He slowly broke off the kiss, drowning his gaze in hers.
“Fuck Ruby” Jaxon cursed in a dry voice, as he made her sit on his lap, in a way that she saw straddling him.
He stared at her pink lips that were now swollen and he wanted to eat her up again.
Jaxon’s eyes were dark with desire as he gazed at Ruby’s swollen lips, his body still pulsing with the heat of their kiss.
He had never felt this way before, a potent mix of longing and need swirling in his veins.
“Kiss me again,” he murmured, his voice low and rough with want. “I don’t think I’ll get enough of you tonight .” He breathed out. He didn’t even know what had come over him as he reminded himself that he hated her, but it seemed like all hell had broken loose.
Ruby’s chest rose and fell rapidly, her eyes meeting him with a mix of relief and desire. He wanted her to kiss him, which meant he enjoyed it as much as she did.
“You don’t regret this?” She asked in a low voice as Jaxon hissed.
“If I did, I would have thrown off my body three minutes ago” he gritted his teeth as he possessed her lips yet again more fiercely than ever.
The moment their lips met again, a fire was ignited between them. Jaxon’s hands roamed over her body, his fingers trailing down her spine, causing shivers of pleasure to course through her.
Ruby moaned against his mouth, her hands roaming across his broad shoulders, pulling him closer. The kiss was a wild dance, hot and intense, their tongues tangling in a fiery embrace.
She let out a sharp breath as his hands landed on her ass, squeezing them as he pressed her body against his. She could feel his hardness beneath her.
Things were getting tense and she felt a sudden need that she wanted him to take care of.
With every breath, their desire escalated, their movements becoming more urgent, their hands exploring each other’s bodies with reckless abandon.
Ruby gasped as Jaxon’s hands kneaded her ass, his fingers digging into her skin. She ground her hips against him, the friction of their bodies sending a rush of pleasure through her.
She could feel his hardness pressing against her, and she knew what he wanted and she felt glad that he was responding to her.
The cold and arrogant Jaxon was responding to her.
“Jaxon…” she whispered, her voice thick with need.
He slowly slid one hand of her shirt down as he kissed her shoulders tenderly.
Jaxon’s kisses trailed down from her neck, his lips grazing the sensitive skin of her shoulders, sending a wave of pleasure through her body.
His fingers traced the hem of her shirt, gently pulling it down, revealing her soft, pale skin inch by inch.
Ruby’s breath quickened, her body burning with anticipation as his fingertips traced her breasts.
“So beautiful…” he murmured, his lips brushing against the swell of her breasts.
But then he suddenly paused as he pursed his lips as Ruby stared at him in confusion. Why did he stop?
She became more confused when he gave her her shirt.
“Put it on” he instructed a breathless Ruby who collected the shirt from him as she wore it.
Jaxon swallowed deeply as he looked away from her, his eyes didn’t fail to notice the way her breasts bounced as she wore her shirt. She was still sitting on his lap.
He hissed cursing under his breath and Ruby didn’t fail to notice that as she began to wonder if she did anything to make him pissed.
“Damn!” Ruby uttered as he grabbed the bottle as she took down a gulp of the whisky.
“I should probably leave, it’s dark..” she announced as things had suddenly become awkward between them.
She was about to leave when Jaxon held her back.
“Stay here, you’ll sleep here tonight” he demanded in a firm voice. He slept so soundly the last time they shared a bed and he wanted a good sleep.
Ruby hesitated, her mind racing with questions as she looked up at Jaxon, his firm voice and commanding presence both intimidating and thrilling her. She was about to object, but something in his gaze stopped her.
“All right,” she whispered, surrendering to his demands.
Jaxon pulled her closer, his hands still on her waist as he stood up and he led her to the bed.
He placed her on the bed, placing her under the bed cover.
He slipped out of his shirt, his well-toned muscles rippling beneath his skin.
Ruby suddenly became dumbfounded as his chest came into view. He had a tattoo on the upper side of his chest.
Ruby’s gaze lingered on Jaxon’s tattoo, her curiosity piqued as she traced the intricate lines with her eyes.
It was a simple design with different writings, black against his tanned skin, curving around his pectorals and disappearing beneath the waistband of his jeans.
She wanted to ask what was written there but she couldn’t find the voice to climb and she just watched him join her on the bed.
He got under the bed sheets as well as he drew Ruby closer to himself, in a way that she was backing him as he buried his head in her neck.
Ruby could feel Jaxon’s warm breath on her neck, his lips brushing against her skin. She closed her eyes, savoring the sensation of his body pressed against hers, his strong arms encircling her.
His hands roamed across her body, his fingertips tracing the curves of her hips and thighs. He nuzzled her neck, his lips pressing gentle kisses there, his teeth nipping at her skin.
“You’re so wet,” he whispered, his voice low and husky in the darkness of the room as he grazed his fingers over her panties.
Just when she thought he was about to touch her, she heard him say.
“Sleep”
Ruby’s body tensed, her skin tingling with anticipation as she waited for Jaxon’s touch. But instead, his words were a soft command, gentle but firm.
“Sleep,” he repeated, his voice a low rumble in her ear.
She felt her eyes growing heavy, the fatigue of the day suddenly washing over her. His body was a warm cocoon, his arms a safe haven, and she found herself slipping into a deep sleep.
