from her breast.
    She wanted to press him right back down to the aching nipple. She didn’t get a chance. His hands grabbed her thighs, tilting her hips. His cock nudged against her pussy before driving deep. She gasped and moaned. The feel of his hard body pressing into her was so sweet. She gripped his shoulders and pulled him down for a kiss.
    His hips drove against hers. Her legs wrapped around him and she wanted to pull him tight and hold him there at the same time that she needed him thrusting fast and hard.
    “Harder, Jericho.” She scraped her nails over his shoulder.
    “I love the feel of your pussy gripping me tight, as if it was a fist gripping my cock.” His voice sounded harsh. He trailed nipping kisses along her throat.
    Her inner muscles clenched around him at his words. She bucked up against him. He gave her what she needed. His hips slammed against her. His fingers tugged at one of her nipples, adding to the tightening sensation. She panted and met each stroke. She wanted to savor the intensity and revel in it, but knew she wouldn’t last much longer.
    His hand tightened around her breast and his thumb stroked across her nipple. Her back arched and she shivered.
    “Come for me, Leigh.” His hand tightened, pulling her hips up against him as he thrust hard.
    His order mixed with the pressure of his hips grinding against hers. Release slammed through her. The pleasure shot through her, racing outward from her core. She held on to him, riding out the pleasure. He stiffened and she felt the splash inside her as he came. He groaned. His face pressed into her throat as he shook from the intensity.
    When he finally relaxed, he hugged her tight and nuzzled her neck. He stepped back. She moaned at the feel of him leaving her, but comforted herself with the knowledge that soon they could cuddle together on the bed. She hadn’t forgotten about the talk, but she didn’t dread it. Not after what he’d said. If she’d known he felt that way at the first, she wouldn’t have given him so many problems. Well, maybe a few less, because it still would have taken a little time to trust his words.
    “Now that you’re sated and happy, it’s time to settle the talk about our announcement.” He settled her on the bed and pulled her close to him.
    She hooked a leg over his and nestled her head on his chest. “You think it will make a difference? I still don’t think a rush into marriage is necessary.”
    “It’s as necessary as breathing. Do you think you’ll be satisfied with an affair? Letting everyone think that we aren’t committed to each other? Is it enough for you?” His hand stroked down her back.
    No, it wasn’t enough. She shook her head. He had a point. Without a solid commitment, there were those who would see them as free to date or change their minds. Just the thought of another woman anywhere near him made her want to hit and rip out some hair. He wasn’t free and neither was she.
    “Now you know why that date made me so angry.” He smiled. His eyebrows rose and he looked at her challengingly. “So are you ready to admit that we’re going to make the announcement or do I have to play rough?”
    “Want to bet on how long I can hold out?” She let her hand trail down his chest, but stopped at his hips just to torment him. They both knew how this was going to end. She wanted it and so did he, but the game was so much fun.
    “You’re so stubborn. I do love that about you.” He rolled and pinned her to the bed. “You won’t last the night.”
    She laughed and pulled his head down for a kiss. “Then convince me, Jericho, because I think it’s going to be tomorrow morning sometime before I agree to announce our marriage. Maybe later we can discuss the date.”
