CHAPTER 98

I stood frozen, captivated by the sight of Jess as she tilted her head back beneath the water. The way it cascaded down her body, glistening and shimmering in the soft light, made my heart race in a way I hadn’t anticipated. I had promised myself I wouldn’t cross the line, that I was here only to ensure she felt safe, to give her the space to just be. But as I watched the water trace the curves of her form, the temptation to reach out, to close the distance between us, became almost unbearable. I fought the urge, reminding myself why I was here–but with
every passing second, it became harder to remember.
I wanted to ensure that what happened didn’t stop her from finding happiness. I wanted her to fucking trust me before she never trusts another man in her entire fucking life and ends up alone.
BUT
Now, I’m questioning my choice. My mind is reeling, and my body is responding. I have no control over it. Just watching her right now, I think I might spontaneously combust.
I couldn’t do anything.
I couldn’t touch her or make a move because if I did, I could break this, I could break us, I could break her.

from her–anything that might suggest she wanted more, just as much as I did. The anticipation was nearly unbearable, a longing that tightened in my chest. When she lifted her arms and ran her fingers through her hair, I held my breath, every movement intensifying the ache inside me. My gaze betrayed me, slipping from her face and trailing down, unable to resist the temptation. I desperately wanted something more to happen–and in this moment, Jess was consuming me.
I watched the water run over her face, down her neck and between her breasts. I couldn’t help but linger on her peaked nipples, and all I could think about was taking them in my palm and feeling their weight. Brushing my thumb over her nipple and feeling her squirm beneath my touch in ur pleasure. I swallowed hard, and then she lowered her head, and I focussed on her eyes before I traveled lower.
I could feel my control slipping and blood rushing to my cock, letting it spring to life.
I couldn’t stop it.
I wanted her.
I wanted every single inch of her wrapped around me, and when she dipped her chin, nodding only once, that was it.
SNAP.
It was as if the fragile thread holding my resolve together finally snapped. In that instant, I couldn’t hold back any longer. I pulled Jess to me, my hands trembling with the intensity of emotions I could no longer suppress. I kissed her softly, a hesitant plea for something more, giving her the chance to push me away if she wanted.
