“And I, being the gentlemen that I am, would never have expected you to.”

As soon as we were seated inside the restaurant, the blonde-haired waitress walked over.

“Good evening. Welcome to Jean Georges. May I start you off with a drink?”

“We’ll have a bottle of your finest champagne, please.”

“Very good, sir.” She smiled. “Are you celebrating something special tonight?”

“Yes, as a matter of fact, we are. We’re celebrating the first night of a beautiful relationship.” I reached across the table and placed my hand on Lorelei’s.

“Aw, that’s so sweet. I’ll get that champagne right over to you.”

When the champagne arrived, I held up my glass to Lorelei.

“To the new beginning of us. I adore you, Lorelei, and I plan on making you a very happy woman.”

“I adore you too, Jack, and you’ve already made me the happiest woman alive.” She brought her glass to mine.

What Lorelei didn’t know was that I did indeed book a suite. I didn’t plan on having sex with her because I wanted to wait until she was ready. But I did plan on spending the night with her and holding her in my arms. That would be good enough for me right now.

After we finished eating, I got up from the booth and held out my hand to her. Once we entered the lobby of the hotel, I stopped and placed my hands on her waist.

“Listen, I did reserve a suite but not for sex. You need to trust me about that. All I want is to spend the night with you. No sex included. Just the two of us holding each other all night and talking. I will not pressure you into anything you don’t want to do.”

“Couldn’t we have done that at your penthouse?” She smiled.

“We could have, but I thought the suite was a little more on the romantic side. Plus, we’ll be spending a lot of time at my place anyway.”

“Oh. Is that so, Mr. Sutton?”

I pulled her closer to me and kissed her lips. “Yes. That is so, Miss Flynn.”

“Okay. The suite it is.” She smiled.

We took the elevator up to the top floor and stepped inside the suite, which was filled with arrangements of red roses, champagne, and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

“This place is so beautiful,” Lorelei spoke as she smelled the roses sitting on the counter.

“Not as beautiful as you are.” I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and kissed her cheek.

“Can I pour you a glass of champagne?” I asked.

“No. But you can take me into the bedroom and make love to me,” she spoke as she turned and faced me.

“Are you serious? You aren’t toying with me, are you?”

She let out a light laugh. “No, Jack. I’m not toying with you. I want nothing more than to feel you inside me.”

“I thought you don’t put out on the first date.”

“I usually don’t. But you’re the exception to my rule.”

I growled as I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. Laying her down on the bed, I kicked off my shoes and stripped out of my shirt. Hovering over her, I ran the back of my hand down her cheek.

“You have no idea how much I’ve missed this, missed us.”

“I do have an idea because I did too.”

My lips swept over her neck as my hand took its place between her thighs and roamed up her dress until my fingers hit the fabric of her panties. I could already feel the wetness that escaped her, which sent my cock into a frenzy. Reaching up further, I successfully pulled her panties down with one hand and let my fingers roam her slick area. Moans escaped both of us when I dipped my finger inside her.

“God, I’ve missed this,” I moaned.

“Me too, Jack. Me too.”

Our lips tangled with each other, moving in sync as our tongues met and danced with the same rhythm. I dipped in another finger. She gasped as I explored her. She threw back her head and my tongue slid across her soft skin. Her breathing became shallow and her moans grew louder.

“Are you going to come, baby?”

“Yes, don’t stop, Jack. Don’t stop.”

“I’m never going to stop making you feel good.”

One final moan and I felt the wetness pour against my fingers.

“That’s it. Come for me. Show me how good I make you feel.”

Once she came down from her orgasm, I stood up and quickly and took off my pants. Out of breath, Lorelei stood up in front of me as I unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the ground. Unhooking her strapless bra, I tossed it to the side as my hands placed a firm grip on her beautiful round breasts. As I took her breast in my mouth, I placed my arm around her lower back and lowered her onto the bed. My mouth explored her breasts, taking each of her hardened nipples in my mouth before kissing her down her torso until I reached her pussy. My mouth devoured her slowly and seductively. My tongue flickered at her clit, sending her body into a frenzy. I teased her with my tongue, circling it around her most sensitive spot until she gave way to another orgasm.

“Jesus, Jack. Oh my God,” she moaned.

I smiled as I hovered over her. “I have to put on a condom.” I kissed her lips.

As I started to get up, she stopped me.

“No condoms. Please. I want to feel your natural skin against mine.”

“Are you sure, baby? I won’t be able to come inside you.”

“Yes, you can. I’m on the pill. I have been for years.”

I arched my brow at her in surprise. “You never told me you were on the pill.”

“I thought you liked condoms, so I didn’t say anything.”

“God, Lorelei, I hate those damn things. But I use them for protection against all sorts of things.”

“I know. But you don’t have to worry about that with me, now, do you?” She smiled.

“No, I don’t. You have no idea how happy you’ve just made me again.” I kissed the tip of her nose.

My hard cock was already between her legs and I didn’t hesitate to thrust inside her. The warmth enveloped around me as I let out a moan of pure pleasure. Thrusting in and out of her repeatedly, the pressure began to build for both of us. Her hands rested on my back as her nails dug into my skin while she orgasmed once again. I couldn’t hold back anymore as I thrust deep inside, slowing my rhythm as I spilled every last drop inside of her.

“Fuck, Lorelei. Oh fuck!” I moaned from pure pleasure.

When I collapsed on top of her, I could feel her heart beating as rapidly as mine was. I didn’t want to move because I couldn’t bear to let her go, so I just lay there on top of her until our breathing returned to normal and our heart rates slowed down.

“I’m afraid I can’t move. You seemed to have paralyzed me.” I smirked as I looked at her smiling face.

“Funny, I seem to feel the same way.”

I managed to find the strength to pull out of her and roll onto my back. Grabbing her hand, I brought it up to my lips.

“I’m in love with you, Lorelei.” I turned my head and looked at her.

A bright smile crossed her lips. “I’m in love with you too, Jack.” She brought her other hand up to my cheek.

“Really?”

“Yes. I have been. I just didn’t want to admit it because I was scared.”

“You don’t have to be scared again, baby, because I’m always going to make you feel safe, wanted, and loved. I love you and I will always love you.”

Her beautiful eyes stared into mine as she leaned closer to me and kissed my lips.

I love you too, Jack.” Her hand ran down my cheek.

Would you like to take a nice hot bath together?” I asked.

“I would love to.”

I climbed off the bed and walked into the bathroom to start the bath water. Lorelei poured us some champagne and brought the glasses into the bathroom.

Chapter Forty-Nine

Lorelei

Jack climbed into the tub first and held out his hand to me. Placing my hand in his, I climbed in and laid my back against his muscular chest. He wrapped one arm around me while he handed me a glass of champagne.

“I have a question for you. It’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.”
