something in her, making her want to not just get through life but to live it. Bottom line, Claire and Jacob were two consenting adults and if they wanted to do something more together, then that was their right. I want this. I want Jacob.

Jacob wiped the sweat from his forehead while he waited for Claire to come out of the bathroom. He adjusted himself in his jeans. They were so tight now that he had the hard-on from hell. He should feel guilty for having the hots for Tom’s mother, but he didn’t think of her that way at all when he looked at her. All he could see was a sexy, beautiful woman named Claire. She was smart, funny, elegant, and an amazing artist. She was easy to talk to. Claire was someone he wanted to spend more time with. Could he allow something to happen between them? When she came back to the table and smiled at him, his answer was clear. He wanted her.
“Ready?” he asked, taking her hand.
“Yes.”

To save time, she and Jacob separated in the grocery store to get the items on the long list that Claire had written. When she came out at the end of the aisle, she looked over to see Jacob next to the pharmacy, where they kept the condoms. Oh my God!
She rushed to a checkout counter and didn’t look up for Jacob again. Was this really going to happen? Were they going to go there?
She could feel him behind her. When he touched her shoulder, she felt the spark all the way down to her toes.
“Are we ready to head back to the cottage?” he asked.
She turned to look up at him and knew she was blushing, but she couldn’t look away. “Yes, I think we are.”
Chapter 6
Claire and Jacob took the groceries back to the cottage and put the food away. They were silent while they worked.
When she opened the last bag, she pulled something out that surprised her. In her hand she held a new set of oil paints and paint brushes. “Where did these come from?”
“I went down the office supply aisle. It’s not good quality, but it was all I could find at the time. Maybe I can find a real arts and crafts store…”
She placed the items on the bar and walked over to give him a hug. “Thank you, Jacob.”
It was supposed to be a simple, friendly hug, but her libido skyrocketed when he held on to her, not letting her go. He cupped her cheek and stared into her eyes. She felt all her resistance fading away.
No man had ever made her feel so thoroughly desired. “Jacob.”
“I know you feel it, this attraction and desire. I’m not the only one to feel this, am I?”
She shook her head and whispered, “I feel it, too.” Then she couldn’t speak at all as he lowered his head and kissed her.

Damn good. Claire’s lips tasted damn good. They were plump and soft. Jacob couldn’t get enough of her.
He had fantasized when she was eating her ice cream about those lips wrapping around his cock. It had him ready to throw her onto the restaurant table. He couldn’t do that then, but nothing was holding him back now.
Claire gasped when he lifted her, carried her over to the kitchen table, and sat her down. He worried for just a moment that his passion scared her until he felt her hands trying to rip his shirt off. He helped her then practically ripped her blouse down the front. Jacob hoped she wasn’t attached to that blouse.
He looked down at her breasts showcased in a light blue lace bra. She wasn’t overly big, but she was definitely more than a handful. He unhooked her bra, nibbling on her chin and her neck. Then Jacob pulled the thin material off, baring her glorious body. When she tried to cover herself with her hands, he pulled them away. “You are so fucking hot.”
*****
Claire moaned when Jacob cupped her breasts. She could feel the wetness between her legs. The way he touched her lit a fire so deep within her it was almost scary, but it felt so damn good.
“Oh God.” She tilted her head up as he suckled her breast. His hands were busy moving the
