“Rex?”

“Yeah, baby?”

“Faster.”

We fall through the door, kissing and groping, fumbling to get undressed. Since we’re unable to keep our hands off of each other, I toss a leg out, kicking the door shut, and a second later my back hits the wall. Rex’s face is buried in my neck, his greedy hands roaming every inch of my body.

The sexual energy that’s been building around us explodes into a million beautiful colors, and I slide my hands down his back, pressing my breasts against his chest.

“I need you,” I murmur, tugging at the bottom of his shirt.

Rex lifts his head from my neck, and for the rest of my life, I’ll never forget the way he’s looking at me. His brown eyes are almost black, smoldering with so much more than lust, and before I get his shirt off, his mouth attacks mine.

Our tongues tangle as I drag the shirt up his chest. He lifts his arms and pulls back long enough for me to yank it off. Just when his sweet lips find mine again, the sound of the front door slamming stops me cold.

This is not happening.

“I don’t know about you, JJ, but this is not at all what I expected to find when we came home.”

At the sound of Erin’s voice, I drop my head back against the wall and roll it to the side. JJ and Erin are standing in front of the door. JJ’s watching me closely, and Erin is staring, her hands on her hips and a sly smile on her face, as though she’s just watched a scene out of the newest Fifty Shades movie.

Rex drops his arms, his hands landing on my waist, and he doesn’t even bother to look at our intruders. Instead, his head finds the crook of my neck. His body is still pressed tightly against mine, and I can feel his erection throbbing through his pants against my belly.

Fuck JJ and Erin for coming home when they told me they were going to stay out and have a few drinks.

I allow Rex the time he needs to compose himself because I’m sure the last thing he wants is to turn around and face my friends with a raging hard-on.

“Please, carry on,” Erin says. “Don’t let us interrupt you.”

Rex laughs against my neck and after a few moments stands straight.

Erin smiles playfully at him. “Hello, Rex.”

“Erin. So nice to see you again,” he says, reaching for his shirt. He tugs it over his head. “Where’s Jacob?”

“Probably at home, waiting for me.”

“Then maybe you should go,” I offer.

But she shakes her head. “No way. This is the hottest thing I’ve seen in days, and I’m still holding out hope that I can catch the ending. You’re going to give him a happy ending, right? Because clearly, you’ve left him hanging,” she says, dropping her eyes to his crotch.

“Erin!” I gasp, stepping in front of Rex. That’s my crotch to look at, not yours!

“What?”

JJ walks around her, holding his hand out to Rex. “We’ve never officially met. I’m Jonathan, but these two nutcases call me JJ.”

Rex takes JJ’s hand, eyeing him warily, and when JJ’s eyes meet mine, I give him a gentle smile.

Thank you.

He smiles back. Anything for you, baby girl.

Rex stuffs his hand in his pocket and looks at me. “We should go back to my place.”

“No!” Erin yells. “Don’t leave. You were just getting to the good part.”

“Erin…” I warn.
