Her cheeks redden. “If I let you?”
“You’ve already given me a gift earlier. But if you let me, I’ll spend the rest of my days making you happy.”
Her small hand reaches to touch my cheek, and I lean into it. “Then take me to your place.”

JENNA
I don’t know why I said that. I have no idea where I found the confidence to be this upfront with him. Am I going crazy? Maybe. Then again, I’ve been lusting after him from afar for so long that I just can’t let this opportunity slide.
The drive to his cabin is quick, even if it’s half an hour away. Maybe because we spent it talking about my future plans, my life at home, his career, how he got into paleontology, what I want to do after college, and all that stuff. The entire time, Jacob’s holding my hand and running his thumb along my knuckles, igniting tiny sparks zipping through my lower belly.
He turns off the main road onto a winding, rugged path, gravel crunching beneath his tires. Tall trees loom overhead, and I can already make out a small rustic cabin in the distance.
Just then, raindrops begin to fall, pattering softly against the windshield. Something blooms in my chest. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved the rain. Even until now. While everyone runs for cover, I stay rooted to the spot, head tilted back, enjoying the feel of cold raindrops on my face.
With my face pressed against the window, I watch as the rain begins to intensify, drumming on the roof and echoing through the car’s interior. It’s so soothing, so relaxing, like everything is where it should be.
“Stop the car, Jacob.”
His forehead furrows, but he steps on the brake, and the car lurches to a stop. I beam at him before I open the door and step out into the heavy rain.
I kick off my shoes and laugh at the feeling of the wet forest floor, my bare feet sinking into the cool, muddy earth.
It doesn’t take long before I’m drenched, and with my arms outstretched, I step in front of the headlights, smiling at the stunned man inside.
I crook a finger and beckon him to come out.
He steps out slowly, probably unsure if he just brought someone cuckoo into his home. With one arm on the roof of his car, he shakes his head and laughs. God, I love that sound.
The raindrops soak him as he approaches me, his shirt now sticking to his skin, molding the fabric to his broad, muscular frame.
Oh my…how sexy is he? The shoulders, his chest, the arms. Everything about him has me wet.
His boots sink into the mud with each step, but he doesn’t even seem to mind it.
When he’s in front of me, I smile at him. “I’ve always wanted to be kissed in the rain.”
A split second after saying those words, I feel his paws on my underarms, lifting me and looping my legs around his waist.
He grabs one side of my face and electricity thrums in my veins when he molds his lips to mine. My arms go around his neck, and his hands keep running down my back, along my legs.
Jacob wraps my hair around his fist and tugs it gently, forcing my head back. My face is to the sky, rain falling on us, but my body’s on fire.
He tickles me with his beard as he runs his mouth along the side of my neck, sucking on a spot on my collarbone. With my fingers tangled in his hair, I arch my back, hoping to press my crotch against his.
With a growl, he realizes what I’m doing, pulls back, and presses our forehead together. “What is this, Jenna? I can only have so much control before it snaps.”
“I want you. Take me, Jacob. I’m yours.”
He pins me with an incredulous look. “Jesus, Jenna. I can’t take you here. You don’t deserve—”
“It’s what I want. I want my first time with you out in the rain.”
His eyes look like they’re about to bulge out of their sockets. “First time?”
I nod. Does it turn him off? The fact that I have zero experience and might not know how to touch a man? How to touch him?
“Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.”
He buries his face in the crook of my neck, and I feel an ache in the back of my throat. Is he going to take me back to the apartment? Please no.
“I’m a fast learner, Jacob. Tell me what you want and I’ll do it.”
“What are you talking about?”
I look away and bite my lip. “It bothers you, right? That I’ve never done it before? That I might not know how to please you?”
Jacob cocks his head to the side and chews the inside of his cheek. “That’s what you think? God, Jenna. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I might not let you go once I claim you.”
