“I’m recovering,” I replied, taking a sip of coffee. “I just…”

The tap clunked off, and Jay fixed me with an even look as he dried his hands.

“You what?”

“The silence bugs me sometimes, that’s all. When everything is empty like this, and I’m just waiting, it’s like ants are crawling on my skin, or I’m being lit on fire from the inside.”

“That’s a normal response,” Jay said, and he stepped closer. “You’ve been through a lot and been running on adrenaline for god knows how long. The come down from that can sometimes be as hellish as the trauma itself.”

“So, how do I fix it?” I asked. “How do I stop myself from tearing my skin off?”

“You need a distraction. Something that satisfies you and takes your mind off of things,” Jay explained. “We use the gun range. Bailey uses rock climbing. I like to paint when I can. We all need something that takes the edge off.”

Jay was so close that his words felt like a completely different kind of invitation. I could think of one very tasty distraction that would keep me from dwelling on my internal inferno.

“Like you?” I asked as innocently as possible. Setting my cup down, I moved to the island counter and swiftly pulled myself onto it. Then I spread my legs and placed my hands on the edge of the counter between my thighs, bunching my skirt up around my wrists.

“No,” Jay said, not sounding at all confident.

“You don’t think you would be a distraction?” I cocked my head to the side. Deep down in the dark depths of my soul, I could hear a voice yelling at me not to ruin my time with these guys by giving into my hyper-sexuality, but I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to feel something and nothing, and sex with these hot older guys was the best I’d ever had.

“I can’t be,” Jay clarified and his gaze slipped down my body then darted back up to my eyes.

“Why?”

“Did you forget the time you spent with Tyler and Bailey?”

“They won’t mind,” I said confidently. Tyler hadn’t been at all put out after Bailey and I fucked in the shower, so I was confident this would be no different.

“I mind.”

“Why, because you’re jealous?” Slowly, I leaned forward and pressed my elbows closer together, enhancing the swell of my bust.

“No.” For a PI, his lies weren’t believable.

“I know you’re attracted to me. I saw how you looked at me back at the diner. Honestly, if Dae hadn’t been there, I would have made a move and dragged you off to the toilets for a quick fuck.”

“Selena, I—.” The cutest, softest pink flush had spread across Jay’s cheekbones so I straightened up and moved my hands to my bare thighs. Sliding upwards and pushing my skirt higher and higher, I made it to the hem of my panties before Jay was on me.

His hands cupped my head, and he pulled me into a deep, hungry kiss with the sweetest moan I’d ever heard from a guy reaching my ears.

I grasped his shoulders, wound my legs around his waist and then tightened my limbs to pull myself closer to his hot body. The moment we were pressed together, my mind went blank and desire flooded through my system. My pulse quickened with each soft, desperate press of Jay’s lips and when I was pressed against him, he dropped his hands to my waist.

He wasn’t one for wasting time, either. No sooner had he moved his hands than he was pulling my t-shirt over my head and casting it aside. I’d forgone a bra due to my recent shower, which paid off tenfold. Jay kissed down my body, cupping one breast with his left hand and kissing over my right. His lips were soft, mapping over the swell of my breast and then trailing down to the stiff peak of my nipple. Warmth enveloped me as he sucked my nipple into his mouth and teased it lightly between his teeth.

His left hand massaged my other breast and I tipped my head back, moaning gently into the quiet chill air of the kitchen. I threaded both hands into his hair, stroking through the strands and adding to the fluffy mess, then I grew impatient and turned my gentle caress into a tight grip.

Jay groaned when I pulled him up for another hungry kiss.

Suddenly, he broke away and my heart jumped into my throat.

Did I do something wrong?

Being denied what I desired so strongly was almost suffocating but luckily, Jay was just pushing his cargo pants and boxers down, freeing his thick cock.

My eyes widened at the sight and my core clenched.

Fuck, I wanted him so badly.
