Jessie:Funny how you cling to that night. Too bad you’ll never get my mouth again—you wouldn’t survive it twice.

I come on my stomach as I read the text. Anger and relief mix together to cloud my thoughts. I can’t help but laugh. Leave itto Jessie to bring me to the edge like that, just to shove it in my face.

Chapter Fifteen

Jessie

Eva opens the door, wearing a yellow sundress, her hair down in loose waves. I’m not sure I got the memo that we were supposed to look cute. I’m wearing jean shorts and a black tank top. At least my hair is down, and I have on some makeup.

I extend my arm and hand her the bottle of wine. “I’m underdressed. Is this some fancy dinner party?”

She smiles brightly and grabs the wine as I walk into their penthouse. “Addie slept through the night last night. I finally had enough energy to shower and do my hair. I had to jump on the opportunity. Plus, she’s six weeks now, and the doctor gave us the green light to have sex again. Roman is ready to pounce on me.”

My head jerks back. “Uh, are you sure you want me here?”

She chuckles and links her arm with mine. “Please, he needs to work for it. If he’s good tonight, I’ll reward him.”

We walk into their kitchen, where Roman and Walker are each holding a baby. I nearly trip over myself. Every time I see him, I forget how beautiful he is.

My heart beats against my chest like it’s trying to make an escape.

“Oh, hi. I didn’t realize you would be here,” I say as we join them around the island.

His eyes appear to glow with delight, like he can sense my nerves and enjoys seeing me squirm.

His lips turn up. “You got a problem with that? Do I make you uncomfortable?”

I scoff. “No. I was just saying I didn’t realize you’d be here. No need to be a dick about it.”

He cocks his head to the side, studying me. I’m not sure why I’m being so defensive. I’m reverting back to my old behavior, where being mean to him feels like the safest way to deal with the tsunami of emotions I’m experiencing.

“And they’re back.” Roman chuckles to himself.

I look at him with what I hope is a murderous stare that conveys how much I will hurt him. He doesn’t seem fazed. He just winks at me.

Eva laughs. “All right, calm down, everybody. Let’s have a nice evening together. It’s my first adult night since I had Addie.”

Roman walks over to the oven and peeks inside. “Lasagna is almost done. Should be another fifteen minutes, and then we’ll let it sit for another fifteen to cool down. Let’s have a drink out on the terrace while we wait.”

I follow them outside onto the terrace that has a breathtaking view of the city. The sun is beginning to set over the Hudson,which gives me chills to see. I don’t spend much time in penthouses, so these views don’t come along very often.

The terrace has several sofas and chairs with big black cushions on top. I settle onto a chair that’s diagonal to a long couch, where Eva and Roman just sat down. Walker takes the chair next to mine.

I can smell his cologne from here. A distractingly woodsy scent that always makes my body break out in a shiver.

It’s hard to even look at him so I look past him toward Eva, who is now holding Addie while Roman pours each of us a glass of wine.

It was just the other night that he told me my mouth was like heaven. I wanted to be angry, but all it did was turn me into a quivering ball of desire. For years, I had wondered if he could tell I was inexperienced. Maybe if I had done a better job, he wouldn’t have pushed me away.

To know the truth about him enjoying it, for him to describe it like that, it just made me want to do it again. I’ve learned a lot over the years. I want to show him what I can do. I want to drive him wild.

I want him to look me in the eyes this time and know it’s my mouth wrapped around his thick cock.

Roman pulls me from my thoughts and hands me my glass of wine.

“Thank you.” I smile as I take it from him.

The first sip goes down so smoothly. I forgot I’m at a billionaire’s penthouse, so I’m probably drinking a bottle that cost more than my electric bill.
