He grins a dumb, shit-eating grin.

“Is it working?”

“Yes,” I snap.

Whatever. Fuck it.

He’s nodding slow, stepping closer.

“Good. ‘Cause I’m ready.

“I wanna be close to you.

“I want your taste in my mouth, Sonny.

“Don’t wanna just go down on you.

“I wanna go downwithyou.

“You and me—right there, right fuckin’ now.

“Just for us. No contract. Real as it gets.

“I want you.”

He takes another step.

“In my mouth.”

Smirk half-cocked.

“Right now.”

Damn, I’m fucking good.

Didn’t even have to ask.
