Zach’s hands grab and hold me.Kissing and licking at my wet flesh, he leads me into the dark bedroom, taking a seat facing me and inviting me into his lap.Straddling him, I claw at his broad shoulders as his crown rubs against my swollen lips and I suck in a breath when his solid length slides thick and wide into me.The look in his eyes is most affecting.Electric dominance.
“Zach.”My legs tremble, voice cracks, and my head tilts back, mouth wide open.
I hang onto his hard muscles, shifting and bunching, as he rocks into me.Raw, unrelenting, and fast.My body shudders and goosebumps pop along my flesh as my nipples scrape his chest.
Long and rigid, he thrusts deeper into me and I press my face into his now damp neck inhaling the scent and tasting the salt of him.Unbelievably masculine and ruggedly sexy.
There’s no way something that feels this incredible is a lie.
His hot mouth is everywhere, and he hoists me up, my ankles hooking around his back just above his firm ass as he walks us to the bed.He’s still inside of me keeping a fluid pace that’s making me crazy and tearing me apart.
My body pulses and my core clenches around his cock as my name roars from his lips both possessive and primal.Spilling into me, he holds my face between his large warm hands and gazes down at me.
Wild waves hang in his eyes.Chiseled cheekbones, dark scruff scattered along his strong jaw, and penetrating blue eyes fill my vision.The weight of him is deliriously perfect, filling me, surrounding me, causing me to scream in ecstasy and weep in shame.My second orgasm chases his, pleasure ripping through me.It’s almost too much to take.
We may be a lie but we’re the sweetest lie ever told.
I don’t want, nor do I need, to hear the truth.
Entangled and content, we slip into sleep easily and I only stir when he traces the curve of my eyelashes, his fingertip sliding softly over the crest of my cheek.Nestled under the covers, I feel the void of him at my back.My lashes flutter but I don’t open my eyes.Maybe if I don’t face him, it won’t be true.He’ll still be spooning me and his trip won’t be real.But why am I kidding myself?
Only fools indulge in make-believe, yet here I am, devouring every tale.
I feel his gaze on me like the sun and as a sunflower, basking in its glow, I soak up his devotion because I’ll only have it for a certain length of time before it’s gone.

“How’s Zach?Is he back from Singapore?”Pippa applies her lipstick and I watch through the screen of my phone, from the comfort of my bed.
“He’s good but not home yet.Soon.”I stretch out my legs.“Where are you going?”
She’s in a little black dress with her hair curled.We try to talk as often as we can and sometimes it’s like this.On the fly and only for a few minutes because our lives are busy and full.
“I’m meeting Drew and his biggest client for drinks.”She groans and spritzes some perfume before turning back to her phone.“The guy wants Drew to be his legal counsel permanently.Drew isn’t interested but said he’d hear him out.So they had dinner to talk business and now the wives are joining.Do you miss him?”
“Miss who?Drew?”My brows bunch.
“No, silly.Zach.”
“Yup.”I’d be lying if I said I had no time to miss Zach.There truly was no time in my days between my day job and the gala.I barely had time to visit with my family or hang out with friends.But it had been four days since he left and every night, as I lay in bed in the moments between awake and asleep, Zach consumed my thoughts.We text and video chat when we can, but even still, I miss him.
“And?”
“And what?”I lie back on the pillow and yawn, so ready for bed even if it’s just after nine.
“Do you guys sext or get down and dirty over FT?”
“Not having this convo with you.”
“Why not?He’s so swoony.”
“You say that every time we talk about him.How does Drew feel about you thinking Zach is swoony?And who says swoony anyway?This isn’t some romance novel.”
“Shut up.Drew’s the swooniest—if that’s even a word—and I tell him so all the time.He has nothing to worry about.Not even a billionaire can top him.”
“Aww, babe, I love this even if I question your taste in men.I mean, my brother.Ewww.”I mock gag before smiling back at her and she laughs.
