“Yes,” she breathed and lowered herself onto him.
He groaned as he slid inch by inch into her until he was seated deep inside her. He filled her to where she felt him deep in her belly.
Their movements were slow at first. She rose off him and slid back down, feeling him fill her to the point of taking her breath away. But the need overwhelmed her, and she glided faster on him.
His hands held her waist, and he helped her keep a steady pace while his hips met hers, thrusting harder. The air whooshed out of her each time their bodies connected. She moved her hands to his shoulders and gripped tightly to hold herself in place when he stilled her movements and took control, pressing into her at his own pace while she held on for dear life.
Her cries filled the room at the pleasure that bit into her. His breaths came out in gasps as his hips moved at an impossible pace, pressing harder and deeper.
“Jace,” she cried. “I’m close.”
“Come for me, Maddie. Come now.”
Her body shook as she reached her climax and shuddered around him. He groaned and his pleasure took over and he came into the condom, his thrusts slowing until every last seed had been dropped.
They gasped, neither making a move to get up. Their hearts beat wildly in their chests while their bodies were still connected.
Jace’s lips found Maddie’s neck and pressed a kiss to it.
Maddie sighed. “Is it crazy for me to say this is the best sex I’ve ever had?”
Jace pushed back to see her face, cupping her cheek and stroking his thumb over it. “Is it crazy for me to say this is the best sexIhave ever had?”
She blushed. “You don’t have to say that.”
“I’m only speaking the truth.”
They sat in silence for a moment before Jace looked down. “Uh, I really need to take care of this.”
Maddie pulled back and blushed. He had gone slack between them, leaving the condom sagging. “The unsexy part of sex,” she whispered, and then clapped a hand over her mouth.
He laughed. “But it’s true.”
He tugged the condom off and tied it before standing up and walking back toward his bedroom, but stopped short.
“Come join me.”
She nodded and took his hand, walking with him to the shower.

Maddie stared at a copy of Celebrity Status sitting in front of her. The top story wasWho is Madelyn Carter?She flipped to the story where it showed various photos of her that had been snagged from social media or from reporters who got a photo of her when she was with Jace. Some photos she did not know when they were taken.
“Madelyn Carter works in marketing for a small clothing designer called Kailynn Winters Designs. While she appears to be decent at her job working for Kailynn Winters, her judgment on clothing is questionable.”
Maddie’s jaw dropped open. This wasn’t journalism. This was a personal attack. She glanced up at the byline and rolled her eyes.
Samantha Barnes. Of course. Who else could it possibly be?
Maddie sat back in her chair and groaned.
“She’s a jerk. You have amazing judgment in clothing,” Kailynn’s voice rang out.
Maddie swiveled in her chair to face Kailynn.
“Thank you.”
“Of course. She’s just jealous of you and Jace.”
