Page 40 of Don't Fall For Your Grumpy Neighbor

I shake my head as my body burns with want. “No.”

He leans close and nips my ear and whispers, “Fucking hot.”

My body is ready to explode. His low deep voice is the tipping point. “Shepherd, please.”

He runs his fingers through my wetness and pulls me closer. “This is all about what you need.”

He pushes two fingers in and I moan, thankful for the relief I immediately feel. He moves his fingers as his other hand reaches around and grabs onto my ass. The way he’s twisting his fingers with such skill is overwhelming, in the best possible way.

I open my eyes and see his face and my anger returns. “I need you to keep going, but turn me around because I can’t look at you right now.”

He chuckles, apparently finding my anger funny. He doesn’t say anything as he spins me around and bends me over the counter. His fingers get right back to work and I let out a moan because he’s deeper now.

“Yes, it feels so good,” I cry out.

He grabs my hair and pulls my head back as he continues fucking me with his talented hand. “Let go of that anger with your orgasm, Felicity.”

I know he’s right, I need to do it, but right now my only focus is how good he’s making me feel. I’m creeping closer to my release and my body shakes, each cell vibrating.

“Fuck, I’m close,” I moan.

“I feel your wet pussy gripping my fingers. Give me your orgasm and let go of everything else,” he demands.

His raspy voice does things to me that I can’t explain and when I feel myself falling over the edge, I do exactly what he demands and let it all go.

“Yes,” I shout.

“That’s it, let it all go,” he whispers.

I lay my upper body on the counter, breathing heavily as the orgasmic bliss rushes through me. Shepherd removes his fingers, causing me to miss his touch and he rubs my back.

“Thank you,” I whisper.

“Better?”

I push off the counter and adjust my sleep shirt, unable to hide the grin on my face. “So much better.”

“You know, maybe your anger toward me isn’t that you’re pissed, but that you’re horny.”

It’s a thought, but not one I’m willing to focus on right now. “Maybe,” I say with a tiny shrug.

He’s searching my eyes as he leans on the counter next to me. “My family loves you, by the way.”

My heart is already beating fast, but now it’s pounding. “That’s sweet. They were all very nice. I’m thankful our son or daughter will have such an amazing extended family.”

“You will too,” he says, keeping his dark eyes locked with mine.

Unwilling to explain again that we aren’t a couple, I simply nod. “I’d like you to have dinner with my mom.”

He nods. “Anytime. Just tell me when and I’ll be there.”

“Just like that, huh?”

He moves closer to my face and I can feel his warm breath on my cheeks. “You’ll always get what you want from me, Felicity. All you need to do is ask.”

He makes it all sound so simple.
