after giving the head of his cock an appreciative stroke. ‘Distract ourselves from the pressure?’
‘Something like that,’ he said.
When he was sheathed, he banded her in his strong arms and hugged her close. His kiss was controlled dominance, harnessed need. He grabbed her up by her ass and hitched her high. Jill spread her legs, wrapped them to his trim waist and held on tight when he positioned himself.
‘Do it,’ she said in his ear. ‘Put it in me.’ Then she nipped his lobe and he growled against her neck.
‘Dirty. I love it.’
He thrust once and entered her smoothly, her body pinned completely between him and the wall. She was so wet and so ready his girth was no issue. Her body welcomed the heated length of his cock and gripped up around it joyously. Already a small spasm of pleasure was working through her.
‘I’m going to come really, really fast,’ she warned.
‘We don’t have much time,’ he said, squeezing her bottom. The tiny bite of discomfort bled smoothly into the pleasure of the friction they were creating.
‘Then I have a good excuse.’
Each thrust bumped Cole’s pelvis to her and the shockwave worked through her clit. He hefted her a tiny bit higher and she thanked the gods of working out for his strength and exceptional muscle tone. Jill tilted her body to the wall just a touch, just enough that every driving jerk of his hips made the head of his cock bang her G-spot and when he kissed her one more time, his tongue sliding along hers, she cried out into his mouth as she came.
‘Shhh.’ He pressed a finger to her lips, balancing her weight with his hips and one strong arm. ‘No one can hear. Silent orgasms,’ he said.
That only made it worse – the excitement and danger and secrecy. So when he turned from the wall and placed her ass along the lip of the clean, shiny marble counter in the restroom, she swallowed a gasp. He pushed her legs high so her heels touched the edge of the counter and she was wide open for him – for his appraisal.
Cole watched himself entering her, his eyes tracked each hard thrust and he reached out to press her distended clit with the tip of his thumb. The goodness of it all made her skin hot and her heart fast. She watched his eyes watching their union and when he met her gaze and said, ‘I’m done in,’ she came. Just like that.
A grease fire of an orgasm. Springing up out of nowhere but hotter than hell. And utterly uncontrollable.
He pushed his hand to her lips to silence her noises and the other hand he placed over his own lips. They came in that blissful second of escape – completely silent but eye to eye.
Chapter Six
‘WE HAVE A VERDICT, Chefs,’ Kat Stephens said with TV seriousness.
Jill held her breath. Inside, secretly – but not from herself – she was hoping to hear that both she and Cole would be staying. She loved Ginger but her dish didn’t seem to work wonders for the judges.
‘Chef Roberts, we loved that the sweet crab and fresh cream and other ingredients seemed to accent the fresh corn without burying the flavour. The corn was without a doubt the shining star. Good job. You will stay for a chance to be Best Chef.’
Cole nodded once and his gaze slid to her. Jill smiled, wanting to give him a thumbs up or a whoop or something. Instead she just smiled again while he stepped back from the judgment line.
‘Chef Calvert …’
Here is where Jill’s stomach bottomed out like she was in free fall. She swallowed hard, put her hands in her pockets and waited for the verdict. There were only two options. Pass or fail. She would stay in or she’d be out. And that was a liberating feeling – knowing she was staring down the worst case scenario and soon it would be over.
‘Yes, judges?’
‘Your lovely sinful fritters took us back to childhood …’
Her heart leapt and she blew out a small breath she’d been holding. That had been the goal. Nostalgia and evoking memories. Jill felt
