“I’ll survive.” My tone is flippant.
“This is probably a bad idea.” He rubs his thumb along my bottom lip.
I take hold of his hands to guide them to my chest. “Good thing it’s only one night then.” The feeling of his palms molding my round breasts sparks electricity between us.
His smirk grows. “I like your mindset.”
“I’m only here to appease you,” I joke with a light tone.
“You deserve a gentleman, and maybe I’ll be that at some point tonight, but right now, I need to do this.” His fingers pluck a nipple while his eyes stay pinned to mine. “Have you thought about having me inside you before?”
“Your ego needs a boost?” I cock my head to the side, with his hands still on my breasts. He won’t give me what I want until I answer. “Once or twice,” I admit.
“Good girl, honesty is key for tonight.” He begins to trace his lips along my jawline. “In that spirit, you’ll tell me when you’ve had enough, because I intend to go a few rounds, making you come with my fingers, mouth, and cock. Hopefully, you feel in a giving mood too.”
Have mercy on me, this is exactly what I was imagining.
“I think I can be persuaded,” I say breathlessly.
“Good. I need to watch you touch yourself, because I want to study the way you like it so my tongue can show you how to do it better.”
A new wave of heat runs through me with the realization that his cockiness is apparently something that I like.
In a flash, he moves his hands. I feel at a loss until he instantly cups my face to slam his mouth onto mine, stealing my breath and driving me wild. His one hand threads through my hair then yanks slightly to tilt head in a better angle, a clear position for him to consume my lips.
He’s firm, then tender, to downright greedy. I have no chance to explore because his tongue is already flirting with mine because Declan is a step ahead of me.
I loop my arms around his neck, enjoying his kiss that turns messy.
This is just a little fun, except judging by the feel of his cock pressed against my middle, then he isn’t little at all.
Thank you, heaven, for finally allowing me to win something.
He hoists me up, my legs instantly wrapping around his waist, while our mouths don’t part as he walks us to the couch.
I gasp, as I’m startled by the way we fall together perfectly against the cushions. With his body over mine, my hands begin to wander down his abs, attempting to reach his belt, but he’s quick to pin my wrists above my head.
I’m a version of myself that I don’t quite recognize… and I love it.
We’re all allowed to have wild nights.
A one-of-a-kind sort of night.
Even if they end with a morning after and an empty bed with a note in place of a warm body next to you.

DECLAN
A FEW WEEKS LATER
This is my test.
The last time I saw Ford was a few hours before his sister became my dirty little secret.
Now? We’re alone and sitting at Catch 22 in Lake Spark. The restaurant on the water overlooks a few docks with boats and is an easy walk from Main Street. This town is busy as hell during the summer months, which is why this restaurant is bustling with people. We’re at a table for two outside on the deck, with late-morning sun shining down on us.
Yep, just the two of us.
