“Your brother’ll fuckin’ kill me.”
“My brother isn’t going to know anything about it,” she countered, meeting my eyes. “I love you, Jase. You said you loved me back. Were you lying?”
“No fuckin’ way.”
She smiled, the dimple on her right cheek sinking in and I couldn’t stop myself from running my thumb over it.
“I’ve been on the pill for three months,” she said. “You got tested. Why are you being such a pussy about it?”
I chuckled. Goddamn, I loved this woman. We might not be much more than kids, but I knew how I felt.
“You callin’ me a pussy?”
She tapped my chin with her finger. “Only if you don’t get your face in mine pretty damn quick-like.”
“Strip,” I demanded, and she did. Immediately.
I did the same and we fell in a heap of naked body partson the bed. She grabbed my face and studied me. “I’m really looking forward to you eating me out, Jase, but if you could make it quick, I’d appreciate it, because I’d really, really, super-duper, like your dick inside of me.”
I grinned, kissing her as I thumbed her clit. “I can make that happen.”
Rolling her onto her back, I rolled her nipple between my fingers and kissed my way down her belly and between her legs. I alternated between sucking her clit and running my tongue between her slick folds as her hips arched up with every pass I took.
Her body began to shake as an orgasm flooded over her and I kissed her belly again, then settled the tip of my cock at her entrance.
“Jase,” she whispered, and I plunged in.
No condom, her tight heat constricting around me, I moved in and out through her climax, feeling every contraction of her orgasm. I didn’t think I could get harder, but then she wrapped her legs around my hips and arched to meet my thrusts, and I lost it.
Growling, I slammed into her over and over again until I knew I couldn’t prolong the inevitable.
“Now, baby,” she begged, and I exploded.
She wasn’t far behind and I rolled us, so we were chest-to-chest on our sides.
“Goddamn, I—”
A shock of fluorescent light flooded my eyes, snapping me back to reality. I pulled an earbud out and turned to see a surprised janitor pushing a utility cart.
“Oh, sorry sir, I didn’t realize anyone was in here.”
“That’s okay,” I replied. “I think I’m done anyway.” I stepped off the treadmill and grabbed a towel. “Take it easy,” I said, as I passed him.
“You, too, sir. Thank you and enjoy your stay.”
I nodded while his words rang through my head.
Enjoy your stay.
My stay? Was I staying? What the fuck was I doinghere? How had I let Cutter and Cricket, two people I’d spent the last eight years purging from my soul, back in so quickly, and deeply? Even though I’d been sent to Savannah against my will, I’d still built a life there. I got along with my crew well enough, and my work with Duke at the ranch was important to me. Not to mention, he and Pearl weren’t getting any younger and depended on my help increasingly these days.
I toweled off and headed back to my room, no less relaxed or clear-headed than before I’d started my workout. Perhaps by some miracle I could squeeze a few hours of sleep in before my meeting with Cutter. I wasn’t looking forward to delivering Viper’s message and was hoping my evening meeting with Cricket would be better. Maybe she’d snap me back to reality and remind me of just how crazy Cutter’s idea was.

Cricket
I had a proposal due to Jeremy Marville, the owner of the company, no later than two this afternoon and I’d been staring at a blank computer screen for the past twenty minutes.
