“Yes. Just because I’m not a groupie doesn’t mean it doesn’t
23
make me wet to watch you play.”
24
He gaped for a moment and then smiled slow and sexy.
25
“Yeah?”
26
She nodded. “Oh. Yeah. When I told you I wanted to lick
27
you I wasn’t lying. I would have if it hadn’t been in front of tens S28
of thousands of people.”

He pulled his shirt off and she sighed happily.
02
“You’re going to give me a swelled head.”
03
She laughed. “I hope so. Come on. Show off for me.”
04
She settled on a pillow she tossed in a corner.
05
He grabbed his sticks and sat. And a change came over him,
06
over his face. He was more than the guy who’d taken her out on
07
the ATV earlier in the day. He was Damien Hurley.
The
Damien 08
Hurley. She swallowed hard and watched.
09
He started out slow. Setting an easy beat. And then he added
10
something. And another something. She recognized a few songs.
11
It was so clear to anyone with eyes just how much he loved
12
music. He lost himself in it, in all the different movements. His
13
gaze sort of blurred as he went away while he played.
14
He got sweaty as he played and she got wet, just as she said
15
she would. He was so . . . God, she wanted him right then and
16
there. She stood, tossing her shirt to the side, and his sticks clat-17
tered as he dropped them, moving to her, his face still intent,
18
only on her.
19
He grabbed her to him, skin to skin. The heat from his body
20
enveloped her. He smelled good. Like hard work and exertion.
21
She licked up his pecs, pausing to fl ick her tongue over the bar
22
in his nipple. He groaned, pressing into her kiss.
23
Humming, he tunneled his fi ngers through her hair and
24
tugged, exposing her throat. He kissed, breathing her in. She
25
surged back, sliding a hand down the front of his pants to grab
26
his cock.
27
“Goddamn.” He snarled, taking her to the fl oor.
28S
She forgot that she had planned to take him once he’d started
29N
taking her fi rst. His hands were everywhere as her clothes

seemed to disappear right and left, leaving them both naked as
01
the sun poured in through the high windows.
02
Bent over her body, he pressed a kiss to her chest, right
03
between her breasts. His hair fell forward, brushing over her
04
skin. She traced over his tattoos and down to tweak his nipples.
05
Sensitive. He mimicked her movements and it was her turn to
06
moan as he tugged and then pinched just right.
07
“I want to suck your cock,” she whispered in his ear, push-
08
ing him back, scrambling to her knees.
09
“Fuck,” he murmured as she kissed over his chest and made
10
her way south. His cock was in her fi st, his pulse throbbing
11
against her palm.
12
She took her time. Wanting to taste him in her own way. He
13
was greedy, she knew. As greedy as she was.
14
“Yes. Yes. Yes.” She licked over the head and crown, tasting
15
the salt of his pre- come on his skin.
16
She liked this power, his cock in her hand, in her mouth. He
17
watched her, his gaze on her like a caress. She took him as deeply
18
as she could. Over and over. She ran her nails over his balls and
19
just behind. He liked a little ass play, she knew, so she slid her
20
middle fi nger back and forth across his asshole as she sucked
21
and licked his cock.
22
He often liked to come inside her. But she wanted this.
23
Wanted to fi nish this way. She held tight, continuing to fl utter
24
her tongue just beneath the head where he liked it as he tried to
25
move her.
26
“I want to fuck you.”
27
“Time for that later. I want you to come in my mouth.”
S28
He cursed, a snarl of a sound. She knew that got to him. His

pupils seemed to swallow the color of his eyes as he watched.
02
His fi ngers found her hair again and she moaned when his hold
03
tightened.
04
He guided her. Clearly holding back.
05
“It’s okay,” she whispered against his cock. “I know you
06
want to. I’ll let you know if it’s too much.”
07
He groaned again, but his grip tightened so that tears sprang
08
to her eyes. But it wasn’t from pain. It was so good when he let
09
go, his hands pushing and pulling as he fucked her mouth.
10
Delicious. Dirty. He fucked her mouth and didn’t apologize.
11
Didn’t hold back. He took exactly what he needed. That she
12
could satisfy that need did something to her. Set off little brush
13
fi res of desire over her skin.
14
She loved pleasing him. Loved making him groan and snarl.
15
He kept going. Over and over. She breathed through her nose,
16
not wanting to pull back. She knew he was close. His balls drew
17
tight against his body and fi nally he exploded, arching his back,
18
his hands holding her still as he thrust.
19
And then she was on her back and he was kissing her hard.
20
“Where do you come from?” He kissed her ear, nibbling
21
down the outer edge.
22
“Bainbridge Island,” she managed to stutter as he sucked her
23
earlobe.
24
His laugh sent little puffs of air over her neck and ear, and
25
shivers of delight outward from there.
26
“You do something to me, Curly. Leave me breathless.”
27
She smiled, holding his head.
28S
He had this thing he did at the back of her jaw that sent liq-
29N
uid heat through her body. Made her rubbery and languid.

He did that for a while until she nearly came unhinged and
01
he moved on. He paused, kissing each rib. Up one side and down
02
the other. He kissed and nibbled underneath her breasts, teas-
03
ing until she was ready to beg before he got to her nipples.
04
“Your mouth is— oh my god— perfect.”
05
He looked up her body and into her face, pausing. “No.
06
You’re
what’s perfect.” He kissed one nipple and then the other.
07
“Every part of you.”
08
“Again with the perfect mouth.” She knew she blushed, but
09
he made her so deliciously giddy.
10
He kissed down her belly, licking a line from her belly but-
11
ton to her clit before he rolled onto his back. “On me, Curly. I
12
want you on my face.”
13
She managed to fi re her brain cells enough to move. To sit
14
astride his body and move up as he moved down. The rug under
15
her knees dug in, but in a good way.
16
This position was raw. There was no hiding this way. She
17
had no time to be self- conscious. There was just the two of them.
18
Damien and Mary in the late afternoon sunlight. His hands on
19
her hips, holding her steady, his mouth on her pussy.
20
No shame. No hesitation or fear. Just want.
21
His hair was cool and smooth against the skin of her hands
22
as she slid her fi ngers through it, tugging.
23
He moaned and it echoed through her.
24
She knew he’d leave marks where his fi ngertips dug into the
25
muscles of her hips and ass. She knew it and it got her off. Knew
26
she’d look at the bruises when she was back home and remem-
27
ber this exact moment when pleasure raced through her, hot
S28
and savage.

He edged her closer and closer, his mouth on her, all over
02
her, his tongue and teeth sliding over the most sensitive parts of
03
her until she began to unravel, unable to hold orgasm back
04
another moment.
05
She came hard and fast, slumping over until he fi nally laid
06
her back on the carpet where she could catch her breath.
07
And then he moved close, his fi ngers clasping hers, and the
08
emotion welled up so great that she was glad she didn’t have to
09
speak.

ow was your visit with Damien?” Jules bustled about
17
their shared kitchen space, cleaning up from her morn-
18
ing as Mary arrived to get ready for that evening’s sup-
19
per club.
20
“It was really good. I hung out with his family a fair bit.
21
They’re all very nice. Rode ATVs, got dusty. Rode horses too.
22
His eldest brother has all sorts of animals. Pigs, horses, chick-
23
ens, goats. He’s got a fabulous Lab. Dude, you should see
24
Damien’s kitchen. It’s like heaven, only in Oregon.”
25
Jules laughed, pausing to put her head on Mary’s shoulder.
26
“I’m glad.”

where we go. He brought me home fi rst thing this morning and

he got recognized at the airfi eld. At the coffee shop near his
02
house. At the damned gas station.”
03
“How does he handle it?”
04
Mary continued to stir the sauce. “He has that thing that Adrian
05
has. They’re charming, compelling. You want to be around them.
06
He’s always appropriate. At least in front of me. Women just, gah,
07
I don’t know how to handle it. They grab at him, show him their
08
boobs, totally bald- faced come on to him right in front of me.”
09
“That you care tells me this is more than a fl ing. Also the
10
way you carve out time for him and the little smile you get when
11
he’s mentioned.”
12
Mary sighed. “It’s more than a fl ing. Yes. He wants more,
13
he says. I wanted it to stay casual, but the longer I know him
14
the less casual it feels.”
15
“Cal, looking the way he does and all, has women coming
16
on to him a lot. Sometimes in my presence. Men too.” Jules
17
hopped up on a nearby stool. “It’s hard. Being jealous, I mean.
18
I used to be envious before Cal was mine. I hated that he was
19
with other people and not me. But now that he’s mine it’s dif-
20
ferent. If that makes me petty, so be it. But he’s my man. He’s
21
always so appropriate, though you know your brother is a ridic-
22
ulous fl irt. It helps that he’s always got eyes for me, or Gideon, 23
when he comes into a room.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever really been jealous before. It’s unpleas-
