Not one to disappoint, surge forward with a deep, hard thrust, burying myself in her pussy. Her soft moans fuel the frantic need growing inside me, and I continue to thrust in and out. Our labored breaths fill the room as she rocks against me, her lush ass taunting me, and when I press a finger to the tight ring, her body shudders. I massage the puckered skin as her pussy quivers around my cock, and when I push the tip of my finger into her ass, she falls apart with guttural cry.
“Oh, God, Rex.” Her body convulses beneath mine, her fingers curling into the pillow above her head. “I can’t…I don’t think…oh, fuck.”
With one final thrust, my body explodes, my hips jerking against hers as I continue to push in and out of her body in slow, languid movements. Collapsing on the bed, Shae lets out a relaxed sigh, and I press my lips to the center of her back, breathing in her sweet scent.
Mine.
“I can’t believe you have to go in today.” I draw circles over Rex’s chest with the tip of my finger. “It’s Sunday.”
Yesterday was perfect. I watched my best friend marry the love of her life, and after a round of hot sex against the side of the building, Rex brought me back to his place where he proceeded to slow the pace down a few notches, and we made love in his bed with the windows open while a cool breeze danced across our skin. The night couldn’t have been more perfect, and then my subconscious had to go and ruin it with another horrible nightmare. I’m convinced it’s a memory I can’t seem to get a grasp on. Maybe that means it’s coming to the surface, but it wasn’t the way I wanted to wake up.
Rex, however, knew the perfect way to calm my restless soul. With his body pressed against mine and whispered promises to always keep me safe, he made love to me again, stealing the remaining pieces of my heart.
“The club doesn’t shut down just because it’s Sunday.”
“I know.”
“I won’t be long.” Kissing my knuckles, he slips out of bed and throws on a T-shirt and black jeans. He shoves his wallet in his back pocket and leans down for one more kiss.
“Go back to sleep, sweetheart.”
“I’m not sure I can.”
“Try.” He kisses my nose, and a second later he’s out the door.
Pulling the covers up to my chin, I burrow myself against Rex’s pillows, losing myself in his intoxicating scent. My eyes drift shut as I replay every moment I’ve had with him, wondering if it’s all been a dream. If it is, I hope I never wake up.
He seems too good to be true.
This life I’m living seems too good to be true.
The cautious girl inside of me screams that I need to be careful, that it’s all going to come tumbling down around me like everything else always has, but I’ve gotten good at ignoring her—which is what I choose to do now.
Negativity has always been part of my life, and maybe, just this once, I can allow myself to hope and dream and believe I’m worthy of this level of happiness.
My phone chirps on the nightstand, and when I reach for it, I notice Rex’s still connected to the charger.
Shit. He might need it.
I swipe my finger across my phone and smile at the text waiting for me.
Erin: OMG I’m Mrs. Jacob Coletti
Me: That sounds SO weird
Erin: I KNOW
Smiling, I crawl out of bed, throw on a pair of shorts and a hoodie, toss both phones in my purse, and head downstairs.
“Good morning, Miss Black.”
“Morning,” I say, smiling at Sam. “Rex left his phone, and I’m afraid he might need it for work, so I’m going to run it to him really quick.”
“Let me grab you a cab.”
Sam works his magic, and before I know it I’m being driven across town. Rex’s car is normally parked in the back of the club, but this morning, as we approach I notice it’s parked in front of Vault, right behind a sleek, black BMW, which I assume is Dante’s.
I pay the cab driver and hope they left the front door unlocked. If they didn’t, I’ll have to get into Rex’s phone to find Dante’s number and call them. I really don’t want to get into his phone. I pull on the handle and breathe a sigh of relief when the door opens. There’s a light on above the bar, but the rest of the room is dark. Light shines from the hall where their offices are, and I walk that way.
