Amy was finally breathing again. “Damn right! This show makes missing Colin bearable.”
Colin had been sent to his home country again for another work assignment. So, both Amy and I had spent a few days in long-distance relationships. Jason was in the air on his way back, and even though we’d talked every day during his trip, I felt like half a person when I couldn’t see him and touch him.
Half a person…
Everything I’d feared and avoided for so long had finally happened. I was in love with a guy. I was emotionally invested in him. I burned for him, needed him with a relentless hunger that only he could assuage, and yet, I was the happiest I had ever been.
I wouldn’t give up what I had with Jason for anything, not anything at all.
I got up just as Amy started another episode. “I’m going to bed.”
“Night.” She smiled. “My first shoot is sometime around noon, so I can binge-watch all night.”
“Lucky you. I have a meeting in the morning to iron out the final details for a multi-author book signing.”
She tossed popcorn in the air and caught it in her mouth then grinned at me and hit play. “See you tomorrow, roomie.”
I went to prepare for bed, and as I curled under the covers, my mind was on Jason. He was arriving much later in the night, and it saddened me that I wouldn’t get to see him as soon as he got into town.
Dialing his number, I waited as it went straight to voicemail.
This is Jason Wild. Leave a message.
I shuddered. Even his voice on the phone turned my insides to liquid. Gathering myself, I started my message, grinning naughtily as I imagined how he would react to hearing it.
Hey. I miss you. I know it’s only been hours since we talked, but I can’t wait to see you. I wish I were in your bed, naked, waiting, the first thing you see when you walk in…but I’m at home. I just finished watching TV with Amy, and I’m very very lonely and horny for you.
The message ended, and I barely stopped myself from leaving another, and another. I scrolled through the pictures on my phone that I’d taken of him and of the two of us. He was perfect in every shot, and I looked practically giddy with happiness.
I was giddy with happiness.
I finally nodded off, still thinking about him. I was used to having him feature in my dreams, so when he slipped under the covers next to me, my sleepy mind thought I was having another erotic bedtime adventure with Jason as my sexy co-star.
His fingers stroked my hair lightly then he placed a warm kiss on my cheek. “I missed you, baby.”
My eyes opened, and in the darkness, I saw his face only inches from mine, lit only by the tiny rays of moonlight that slipped in through the blinds. “You’re here,” I whispered.
“Amy let me in.”
I wrapped my arms around him, luxuriating in his touch. “Remind me to thank her.” He chuckled softly, and I kissed him, pressing myself into his warm body. “I missed you so much,” I whispered, overwhelmed by how glad I was to see him.
“I know. I’ve been counting the seconds.” He threaded his fingers in my hair and sighed. “I got your message as soon as I landed.”
“Oh.” I giggled. “That’s why you’re here.”
His chest rumbled. “When you put that kind of image into my head…” He chuckled. “What can I say? I’m a man.”
A virile, highly sexed man who was mine to enjoy.
“Kiss me,” I whispered.
He obliged, savoring my lips and drawing his tongue along mine. He’d already undressed before joining me on the bed so I could satisfy my desire to trace my fingers all over the hard lines of his fantastic body.
“I need you,” I told him. “I need you so much.”
“I’ve thought of nothing but fucking you for days.” His voice was thick and raspy. He drew my oversized t-shirt over my head and made short work of my sleep shorts. When I was naked, he knelt above me, tracing one hand from my throat to my pubis and back again. His fingers ignited sparks of pleasure on my skin, and I ached for more.
He squeezed my breasts and lowered his head to suck on my nipples, licking them until they were tight and aching, then he turned me over to my side and lay behind me, his broad chest pressed against my back as he slid his hand over my stomach and down between my legs. He slipped his fingers between my slick lips, finding me where I was warm, wet, and ready for him.
