And then he stopped.
She growled around his cock and let out a frustrated sound. God, he knew how to wind her up and make her want.
He pulled free of her mouth with a moan of his own. “Christ, you’re deadly. Come up here, princess.”
“Really? You’re going to pull back? Now?”
He laughed, albeit shakily. “We have all day, sweetness. And the next one, and the next one, and the next one. Think of it as delayed gratification. We’ve played that game for weeks now, and I don’t know about you, but that was one hell of an orgasm.”
“Please tell me you’re not going to make me wait weeks again for one. Because that? I don’t bloody think so.” Her heart flip-flopped, and not just because he was talking about delayed gratification. He made it sound like they’d have...forever.
He grinned and tugged her down beside him. “Me neither. But there will be days I make you wait, days we do nothing but play with no orgasm. And there will be days I’ll make you wish I’d stop making you come.” The smile faded from his face. “This is the life I love, princess. Can you live with it? Because I need this. It’s who I am.”
She put her head on his shoulder and her hand across his heart, which beat steady and strong, much like the man himself. “My life is totally messed up right now,” she said, avoiding his question. She needed to make sure he knew where things stood. “My job is up in the air. The paramedic job is still open, but I decided to take Captain Bryce up on his offer and go back to the academy in the fall to finish out my Fire Med class. I’m nervous, though. I’ll admit that. And you were right. All of that depends on my back. I could recover completely, or I could always have issues.”
He frowned and pinched her ass. “So?”
She blinked. “So are you sure you want to get involved with me?”
He laughed, a genuine bark of laughter that seemed to come from his toes. “I’m glad to hear you’re going back. You can do whatever you put your mind to. But, princess, I’ve been involved with you since the moment you set foot in my driveway, tempting me with your sharp tongue, your incredible strength and your submissive heart. And I’ve got my own demons to deal with, so I need to ask you, too. Can you take me as I am, warts and all? Do you even want to? Knowing what I do for a living here, sometimes touching other women to teach them? Knowing who I am in the bedroom, what I need from you and understanding I’m unlikely to change?”
The uncertainty in his voice was the piece that pushed her over the edge, made her bare her heart sooner than she’d expected to. She lifted her head, making sure to look him in the eye so he could see the sincerity in her words. “I love who you are, Gabe, all of you. Master Gabriel, Sir, the man who makes me want to scream, in both a good way and a bad way. Sometimes even at the same time. I love you, Gabe.”
He looked shocked for a long moment, and then his eyes grew warm and sexy and possessive. “I love you too, Olivia. And now that you’ve given me those words, don’t even think about trying to take them back.” A devilish glint shone in his eyes.
He flipped her over so fast she was dizzy, or maybe that was just from him admitting he loved her. Either way, he held her arms over her head and leaned in, his mouth so close to hers she could feel his breath on her. When she lifted her head to kiss him, he pulled back, a wicked grin on his face even as he rubbed his groin against hers. “Not yet.”
She groaned in both frustration and arousal. “I thought you said not now, we have all day.”
He bent his head and bit the side of her neck. “So I did, and we do. But I’ve decided I want you again. Now, who’s in charge here?”
She smiled, her heart full and body trembling. “You are, Sir.”
He gave her another whole body stroke with the length of his. “And don’t you forget it, princess.”
“Never, Sir.”

About the Author
Jodie Griffin has always been a reader, but never imagined being a writer. She’d read anything she could get her hands on (including cereal boxes) but school papers were written one painful word at a time—and never over required word count. Then, one ordinary day, something changed. A story idea came, demanding to be put on paper. After several years of practice, she took the leap, submitted her first story, and hasn’t looked back since.
Jodie works a full-time technical job and does her writing late in the evenings, on weekends, and sometimes even in the office cafeteria during her lunch hour—which can be interesting if she’s working on a love scene. Her own happily-ever-after includes one incredibly supportive husband, one future heroine and two orange tabbies who keep her company as she writes.
