“We’re off today, remember?” I whisper beside her ear.

A smile graces her lips. “We are?”

“Mhm,” I hum, pressing a kiss to her neck as my hand brushes under her cotton bra. “And alone.”

Thea spent the night at her friend’s house. After Ella decided to marry the guy she met on Love is Blind, she wanted her to move back to California, but Thea shocked us all by saying she wanted to stay here.

Isla shifts onto her side, hand landing on my chest and sliding south until she grips me through my shorts. “I love when we’re alone.”

“Me too,” I groan, one hand palming her breast while my thumb flicks over her hardened nipple. The other slips beneath her underwear, two fingers slowly circling her clit. “And not only because of this.”

She tightens her grasp on me, working her hand up and down my shaft. “I know.” The words come out breathless, as she begins to moan. “I can’t wait to spend the day with you.”

I capture her mouth with mine, kissing her as slowly as my hands move against her skin. It’s torture for me as much as it is for her, but I enjoy working her into a whimpering mess. She’s doing it to me, too. Gripping me hard, but moving at a leisurely pace, slowly making me lose my mind.

I break the kiss to ask her, “What did you have in mind?”

Isla swallows hard, fighting to form words as my fingers dip inside her. “A long, hot shower.”

The image of her, wet and naked in front of me, appears in my mind. I blow out a breath, trying to keep myself under control.

“What’s wrong, Taz?” she teases, then runs her tongue up my neck.

I press down harder, deliberately moving against the spot that always makes her come.Two can play that game.

“Wes,” she gasps. I ease off the pressure to crank up her frustration. Isla bucks her hips against me, seeking what she’s lost. “I need you now. Okay?Now.”

“Fast or slow, Red?” I murmur, pulling back from her. I pull my boxers down my legs, kicking them off me.

“Fast,” she whimpers. “I’m already so close.”

I roll her onto her back, climbing to my knees and settling between her legs. She’s a vision under me, strawberry blond hair spread across my sheets, legs wide open, begging for me to enter her. “I love you in this position.”

Isla reaches for me, digging her fingers into my forearms. “I’m about to get out of this position if you don’ttake me now.”

I chuckle. “Always so impatient.”

“I can do it myself,” she taunts, as she drives her fingers into her pussy.

“Stop,” I growl, my hand roughly gripping my cock, aching for her. Isla removes her hand, smirking at me with a look that saysThat’s what I thought. I lift her hips, then drive into her, knocking that smug look off her face.

“Yes,” she sighs, as I withdraw completely and thrust into her again. “Kiss me.”

I bend at the waist, lowering my body onto hers. She seizes my mouth, a punishing kiss to match the pace I maintain between her legs. Her tongue massages mine, sending a bolt of electricity up my spine. We’re both a shaking mess, limbs tight, begging for release.

Isla’s orgasm slams into her suddenly, a relieved breath leaving her as she pulls out of our kiss. I push into her again and again, only allowing myself to finish when I’m sure she’s completely wrung out. She hugs me tight, as I jerk against her, every bit of tension leaving my body before I collapse.

She runs her hand through my hair, the strands longer and in need of a haircut, though she doesn’t seem to mind. “Every time I think I can’t feel more”—I raise my head, resting my chin on her chest as I stare into those ocean blue eyes—“you make a liar out of me.”

“Move in with me.” The words slip out so easily after I’ve spent months locking them in my brain.

“What?” she says through a huff of laughter.

“I never want you to leave.” I shake my head, realizing the way that sounds. The meaning is true, though. I don’t like spending time away from her. “Let me try that again. Isla, I want to wake up with you every morning for the rest of my life. For this to beourhome. I love you so fucking much, it hurts.”

There are more words I’m struggling to say. There are also four other words I’m keeping tucked away, for now.

A gorgeous smile blooms across her face. “Ask me again in like four hours.”
