slowly as he could manage with the need to take her swiftly driving him crazy.
Seth heard her moan and felt Jenna kicking her underwear completely off to free herself. Seconds later, she wrapped her legs around his and arched into his strokes. His need was so great and his erection so hard and hurting that Seth could barely feel Jenna pulsing around him. The urge for release was maddening, but at the same time elusive in his overexcited state. It had been so long. He really had been waiting for her, and he wished like hell he could make her believe it.
Seth shook her shoulders to make her open her eyes again when she closed them.
“No. Don’t close your eyes. Look at me,” Seth demanded. “After watching you date all those others guys, I need to see that you know it’s me inside you.”
When Jenna opened her eyes this time, Seth saw himself reflected in them. Then he let his passion loose at last, moving in and out of her, trying to make up for all the lonely months, all the times he had sent her away.
He was going to make a baby with her, he promised himself. He was going to make more than one. Seth hoped she saw that intent in his gaze as he kept it focused on hers.
Jenna blanked her mind about what they were doing, even as her traitorous body rose and fell in rhythm with Seth’s.
She had no choice but to watch Seth’s face. If she closed her eyes, he shook her until she opened them again. He was so hard inside her that it hurt, but if he’d pulled out she would have killed him with her bare hands. The earth could have dissolved around their straining bodies and Jenna wouldn’t have cared. Her relief to be with him at last was as profound as it was unwanted.
If only she could have felt emotionally good about being with him. If only this had happened when she had desired him initially, when the promise of happily ever after had been singing through her after they had first met.
But it wasn’t like that now, and her heart was still hurting for all the months she had tried to have this with him and never did. Now—now it was just sex.
However relieving this was physically, nothing had really been resolved. If anything, Jenna thought, she detested Seth even more now for holding this amazing connection back from both of them. She was angry at him for finally giving her what she wanted, but even so she still didn’t want him to stop.
Her unfightable desire for him shamed her, but she held tightly to him all the same.
Shocked when the first giant tremor hit, Jenna suddenly tightened beneath Seth’s plunging body, thrashing and arching as the rest of an incredibly violent climax ripped through her. She even tried to fight it off because unlike the pleasure that raced through her before, this time Seth was branding her with every stroke. She felt him everywhere as he continued to move hard inside her without stopping, even as the pleasure he gave her went on and on. Then as it ebbed away, all that was left was a need to be the one he found release with and she wanted him to so desperately that her heart threatened to explode in her chest.
“Seth, please,” she called in a panic that she wouldn’t be able to please him, fear of it making her want to weep. She wanted to curl into a ball and cry like a baby until she could come to terms with how overwhelmed and out of control she felt.
“I love you, Jenna. I swear I love you,” Seth promised fiercely
Then he kissed her, pushing his tongue into Jenna’s mouth to mate with her as fully as possible as his body finally found sanctuary inside the comfort of hers. This was the only woman, Seth thought, as he gathered her up in his arms and gave in at last to his need for her.
Struggling against his weight and the pressure inside her, Jenna hauled in a needed breath just before Seth collapsed on top of her.
Thank God it’s finally over, Jenna thought at last, vastly relieved as she had felt Seth tense and climax.
After what they had just done and what she
