This feeling makes it all worth it.
I think.
I hope.
And when I come again, Joss is right behind me and filling me with his cum. It’s a claiming and the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced.
CHAPTER 9
JOSS
I’ve never looked forward to a shoot ending more than I have been all day today. It’s not because it’s any more annoying than it normally is. Even though I’ve been working with Vallie today, she’s not more clingy or persistent than normal. Is it annoying? Of course, but I find it’s not quite as bad as it normally is.
Maybe it’s because I have more purpose now and it’s all because of Syndal. Sure, I’m still trying to dig myself out of the hole my ex put me in, but now it’s not just about me. It’s about my woman too. I’m determined to be the man she needs.
“You’ve been so quiet today,” Vallie coos at me.
She thinks she’s being sexy and coy, but it’s not working for me. It never did, but now it’s even worse. Thankfully, she doesn’t reach out and try to touch me. The cameras aren’t on us right now and I don’t think I’d be able to be nice about telling her to back off.
Well, I doubt I could ever really be nice about it.
I’m so damn glad that I went over to my woman’s house last night. She needed me and I didn’t even know it.
Hearing what her coworker said to her pissed me off and I thought about tracking the woman down and giving her a piece of my mind. It wouldn’t help anything, though, and I know it. But still, Syndal hurting in any capacity fucking guts me.
I know the words said to her landed. The haunted look of pain in her eyes was something I couldn’t ignore.
Therewas no way that I was going to allow her to stew in those words and let them burrow deeper. The only way was to show her just how much I want her. Everything in me wanted to whisper my love for her.
And yes, I love her.
I’ve known it since I met her and every moment that I’ve spent with her has simply been me falling deeper in love with her. She’s rooted herself deep in my soul without realizing it or even trying to do it. Fuck, everything I’ve learned about her has made me want to know more. When she let me in on her dreams for her own shop, I wasn’t surprised. I just wish I could give it all to her now.
But I can’t.
Not yet at least.
What I won’t be telling Vallie is that the desire to make my woman’s dreams come true is the reason I’ve been quiet. I figured it would be better than being growly and prickly. Doing this model thing might not be what I thought I’d be doing, but it’s not a bad gig and the extra money is going to come in handy.
“Just wanting to get the job done,” I tell Vallie, my voice neutral.
She steps closer, too close, and I retreat a step. Thankfully, she takes the hint, but putting distance between us doesn’t fully deter her.
“Can I talk you into going out for a drink with me tonight?” She arches an eyebrow, the challenge clear in her voice as she asks.
“No can do,” I tell her, trying not to let my annoyance and frustration show.
How many times do I need to turn her down before she gets the hint? It’s kind of embarrassing. If I really thought she wanted to be friends, that this was some kind of buddy-buddy model thing, then I’d be fine with it. But I know it’s not what is going on here. Not even a little bit.
Vallie pouts andlets out a long-suffering sigh, “I figured that would be your answer, but I’d feel badly if I didn’t ask.”
Of course she would.
I give her a small smile and grab my phone, wanting to hear Syndal’s voice and hoping I’m not calling at a bad time, like when she’s elbow deep in chocolate. Since I wasn’t sure how long the shoot would go, we didn’t make definitive plans, and I said I’d call her.
Now I can’t wait any longer. Even if I can’t see her today, hearing her voice will be enough. Maybe.
Or I’ll just find myself back on her doorstep as soon as I get out of here.
