Excerpt:

She moved in front of him, her body touching his, remembering the feel of his large strong hands on her as he hoisted her over his strong brawny shoulder and again when he caught her from falling in the hospital. As much as he infuriated her, he ignited her, and at this very moment, she didn’t feel like fighting it. She could barely remember why they fought it in the first place.
Blake grabbed her by the hips and pulled her against him, dissolving any question as to where he stood and what he was feeling in that moment. Given the stiff ridge firmly pressed against her belly, it was safe to assume he felt the same damn way she did. Hot and hungry.
As tough as Jessie appeared to be on the outside, she was anything but when it came to intimacy – another scar from her past. With Blake, though, she felt safe, comfortable, and unreserved. It may have been his gentle way with her despite his larger than life, all alpha persona, or it might simply be because he was Blake. Either way, he awakened something in her that she hadn’t felt, didn’t fear, and desperately craved.
With one hand snaking around her waist to the small of her back, he pulled her body against his. Fisting her hair with his free hand, Blake tilted her head back before lowering his mouth to hers. Soft and sweet at first, he was cautious with her and wanted to know her boundaries. There was no telling what kind of scars remained in this part of her life, and he wanted her to trust him, especially with this. He let her lead; she could show him what she wanted as much as what she desired. It was all up to her. She got to be in control so whatever they had together would grow organically, naturally.
When she deepened the kiss, he followed suit. She desired him as much as he did her. It was clear when her hands slowly slid their way up his body and around his neck, and she pulled him down harder so she could take his mouth in a bolder move. Jessie was trying to prove something – more to herself than him.
