He would never tire of garnering this type of attention from Maria. Regardless of the slight color to his cheeks. Jack collected her up snug in his arms. "That's only because there is no scale to possibly rate you on. Your beauty is a wonder for all mankind."
"Laying it on a little thick, aren't you?" Oh, but she didn't mind one bit. It had taken her some time to get used to flirting with him, but now she could dish out just as good as he could.
"I'm Scottish. We don't know another way to lay it on," he teased with a wink. Jack couldn't help but wonder what part was really Maria and what was the effect of pain medicine at work.
"So noted," she laughed softly. "Good thing I like nice and thick."
The double-entendre was half Maria, half meds. The prescriptions not only worked on her pain, but also lowered any inhibitions she had about speaking her mind without thinking first.
He nearly snorted at her response. "Don't hold back, Love." Jack leaned in and kissed her fully after a chuckle. She had made enough innuendos that it was impossible to miss her arousal but he also suspected the spike in libido to the prescriptions Maria was currently taking.
It was wrong. He knew it. Only, it wasn't terribly wrong. Jack was relatively certain. Having Maria voice what she wouldn't of sound mind wasn't awful if what he uncovered remained between the two of them.
"Is that your hottest boyfriend or in general?" he asked with an impish grin. "You haven't told me much about your prior relationships."
"Mmmm... Definitely my hottest boyfriend," she replied, again without thinking, and then snorted. "Please. There's nothing to tell. My first boyfriend was back in high school before I got expelled. Couldn't find my clit if I tattooed the GPS coordinates to his forehead. Second guy I was with isn't worth thinking about. Especially since I got him killed. And that just leaves you."
The tone in her voice on that last statement left little doubt as to which of the three she preferred.
...and THAT was exactly why questions should not be asked that one does not truly want answers to.
Jack swallowed as the smile faded from his lips. He wasn't upset with Maria in the slightest, only himself and what was known as the truth. Something had to be said before she thought otherwise. "Right. Saved the best for last," he forced with a wink. Where he couldn't do with words, actions proved better. He leaned in and slowly played at her lips with his own for a lingering, sensual kiss.
"Damn straight," she replied. The kiss was returned with just as much sensual passion. Maria had the sneaky suspicion that he was probably going to be the last guy she ever kissed. Definitely not a bad thing.
Jack had no thoughts of kissing any other woman since the first time their lips ever connected. He originally thought Maria needed him, only to realize recently that she was equally needed by him. Kissing would have gone onto more intimate things if it weren't for her physical state. It still boggled his mind at how incredible she was at sex and kissing given her limited experience. Hopefully he was as good a teacher as she was a quick learner.
Oh, he was a very, very good teacher, and she had learned very quickly that sex could be fun as well as intense. Jack made it easy for her to enjoy herself with him, and it frustrated her to no end that her knee was keeping her on the sidelines.
Too much had happened in the past twenty-four hours for Jack to focus on anything other than Maria there with him. With all her injuries, he remained careful at her side. Sex was far off his radar. The passion in his kiss was subdued by the need to be careful and not cause her more pain.
"I love you," she murmured softly against his lips. Maria's words could've been from a combination of a lot of things: pain meds, Jack's going halfway around the world to rescue her, the list went on. But even so, that didn't mean that wasn't how she felt. She did love him; the meds just made it easier to admit.
