The rings around her eyes contracted as I guided my hand from the outside of her thigh to the inside, brushing my knuckle against her pussy. Slowly, I slid my finger back and forth, eyeing the way her breasts heaved with the motion.
She was fucking putty in my hands, and that’s exactly where I planned to keep her for the foreseeable future.
“JR,” she moaned.
“Why are you running from me, little squirrel?”
“I…”
Her lashes fluttered as I worked my knuckle harder against her pussy.
I leaned in without meaning to, snatching a taste of salt from her neck. My tongue had a mind of its own, running in circles and lapping up every bit of sweat clinging to her skin. I was addicted, even if I didn’t want to admit that quite yet.
“I really have to go!” she shouted, shoving me back a step.
With a quirky grin, she flew out the door, slamming it in my face.
And I was left with the biggest hard-on of my life.
32
JOSIE
I barely gotout of there with my sanity. If I had stuck around for one more second, I would have spent the whole night in his bed. It was pretty damn clear to me now that I could not under any circumstances spend the night at his house.
Because I wouldn’t be on his couch. I would be in his bed with his cock buried deep inside me. And as swell as that all sounded, JR was not the commitment kind of man. I hardly knew a thing about him, and he didn’t exactly offer up any information about who he was or what he had done before he arrived in this town.
“Get out of here, Josie,” I muttered as I forced my feet to move away from his house and toward my car.
I didn’t really have to go back to work, but I needed a damn good excuse to get out of there. If I stuck around, I knew exactly how it would go. I’d end up in his bed for the rest of the night, and every night after. But there would be no deep, meaningful conversations. He wouldn’t ask more about me or spill the beans on his life.
No, I would end up attached to a man who couldn’t give himself to me.
And I’d be devastated.
If I wanted to have sex with him, I had to keep it casual. And I desperately wanted to have sex with this man. I couldn’t remember ever feeling so fulfilled by a man in such a short amount of time. Both times, it had been quick and to the point, but I walked away feeling like I’d just gone ten rounds.
Legs shaking, heart pounding, and a smile that couldn’t be wiped from my face.
Fuck, that was really dangerous.
I drove around for a good ten minutes, just trying to wipe the memory of his big cock filling me from my mind. When I finally pulled up to the shop, I was determined to find something to fill my time so I didn’t have to go home.
I had lied about spending the night with Cuddlebug. I had no plans to be anywhere near that house tonight. Once inside, I looked around the shop and tried to find something I could do to pass the time. There was always inventory and catching up on the books. Or I could do something crazy and rearrange the shop.
Sometimes customers said that they would like more samples out. I could do that. I tossed my coat aside and got to work. Hours passed with me performing everything from the most menial tasks to completely rearranging the shop. I was a sweaty, tired mess by the time the sun rose, and I was completely worn out, but I had made it through the night without giving in and crawling back to JR for seconds.
God, I was so tired, and no amount of tea could fix this. I needed sleep in the worst way, but more than that, I needed food. I couldn’t even remember the last time I ate.
Gathering my things, I was just about to walk out when a knock sounded at my door. To my surprise, Alyssa stood on the other side, smiling and waving at me.
“Hey!” Though I was less than thrilled to still be awake, I couldn’t deny it was nice to see a friendly face at this hour. “What are you doing here?”
“Out for a walk. I couldn’t stay cooped up in that house anymore, so I thought I would roam the town, and I saw your lights on!”
“Yeah, I was just…doing a few things around here.”
“All night?” The disbelief in her voice was evident. Quirking her eyebrow at me, she waited for me to fess up.
