“You did?” I propped my head up on my elbow as the two of us lay down on the couch facing each other.
“My ex was a hookup that never left. Or maybe I never left. I’m not sure anymore.”
“The guy you told me about?”
“Yeah, Josiah.” A look of pain creased his brow and for a moment he was lost in thought. I tried to forget the fact I sucked with showing compassion and glided my thumb across his brow as he’d done to me. His eyes met mine then and he smiled.
“I don’t think I like Josiah very much,” I said. He gathered me in his arms and laughed while I imagined all the horrible things I’d do to someone I’d never met. I wasn’t even surewhathe’d done. Only that he’d hurt Tig, and for me that was more than reason enough.

Tig
Looking at Isaac ashe lay next to me on the couch, I was having a hard time remembering why I wanted to wait to know him before we fucked. But I’d never been one for a quick hookup. Every relationship I’d been in had been committed, and I wasn’tinterested in changing that. Just mentioning Josiah brought back the same pain I’d felt when I found out he’d been seeing other people the whole time we were together. He knew how I felt and didn’t care how much it would hurt me.
“What did he do?” Isaac asked. He had shown me several times he was not the type to hold back. If he wanted to know something he asked, but he wasn’t pushy about it, and I knew I could tell him I didn’t want to talk about it, and he’d let it go. But I also knew if I wanted to know him better, he needed to know me.
“We met one night at a bar when I was living back east. As you know, hookups aren’t really my thing, but we talked for a while and hit it off. When the bar was closing, we didn’t want it to end so we ended up at my place.”
“How long were you together?” he asked.
“Five years. I thought we’d end up married, or at least together. But when I caught him with one of our mutual friends on our sofa, it was over for me. Then when he admitted he’d been stepping out the whole time we’d been together I knew I could never forgive him. I trusted him,” I whispered.
“I would never do that to you,” Isaac said, and the way he looked at me left nothing up for discussion. He meant it with everything in him.
“I’m so attracted to you. But I had to make sure you wouldn’t do the same thing to me he did,” I said and hoped I hadn’t just offended him.
“I’ve never had a boyfriend. The most committed I’ve been to anyone was Jack, and we never even dated. It was always about scratching an itch. But I think in the back of my mind I knew he’d always be there and if neither of us found someone else, we’d always have each other. But seeing him with Hudson . . . he never once looked at me the way he looks at him. It’s love and I would never get in the way of that.”
“You deserve someone who looks at you like that,” I said, and kissed him.
“You deserve someone who wouldn’t ever cheat on you,” he murmured, his eyes still shut. “I’d never cheat on you, Tig.”
“I know,” I said, and I realized it was true. Isaac was wild and untamed and did whatever the fuck he wanted when he wanted, but he was also loyal to a fault and wouldn’t knowingly hurt anyone. “Now about what you said earlier.”
His lips lifted in a lopsided grin. “Blowjob?”
I nodded and he immediately flipped me onto my back. “I hope you’re ready for me,” he said before wasting no time tugging my pants down.
“Anxious?” I asked as he buried his face in my groin and took a deep breath.
“Just a little. You smell amazing,” he said and looked to me for permission before pulling down my boxers. “Well, hello. Look what you’ve been hiding.” He looked at my dick like it was his favorite meal and he was about to chow down.
He leaned down and took me to the root in one go. “Oh god,” I grunted and tried to control the urge to thrust. He pulled back so only the head was still in his mouth and swirled his tongue around it. Hitting every fucking sensitive spot I had. “Isaac.”
“Yeah, baby, don’t worry. I’m going to take good care of you.” He kissed the very tip before once again swallowing me down deep. My fingers were clenched in his hair so tight I worried I was hurting him and loosened my grasp. “No, don’t stop. I like it,” he said and licked my shaft from root to tip. Making me grip him even tighter.
“Isaac, I’m close,” I said and tried to pull him off while he fought to move even faster and deeper not giving me two seconds to gain control. I came down his throat before I had a chance to warn him. “I’m sorry—”
“For what?” he asked and wiped his mouth on his sleeve before moving up to kiss me. “That was amazing.”
“You are amazing,” I said. “Mind if I—” I ran my finger along his waistband.
“Help yourself,” he said and rolled onto his back. I pulled my pants up and he watched while I pulled his down and tried to take my time and catch my breath. He had me so worked up that even though I’d just come, I wanted more. I wasted no time pulling his boxers down and rolling his balls in one hand and stroking him with my other. The feel of his hardness and the noises he made did crazy things to me.
I took my time and licked his shaft before circling the head with my tongue and dipping into his slit making his hips jolt with the sensation. Both of his hands gripped the sofa tight while his hips squirmed. He was hot as fuck. His head thrown back, the muscles in his neck straining, and his dick growing harder. “Tig.” He tapped my shoulder, but I wasn’t willing to stop any more than he had been.
He shuddered as he came, and I wanted to hear the noises he made again and again. After tucking him away I moved up the sofa and rested my head on his chest. “That was nice.”
