She pulled back far enough that we could look one another in the eye. “What do you mean you don’t fuck at your house?”
“This house?” I asked. She nodded and watched me carefully. “I own this place. It’s where I figured one day, I would move my Old Lady in, have a kid or two.”
“Okay, I still don’t understand.”
I blew out a big fucking breath. “Star, I fucked up in so many ways with you over the years. My damn road name is tainted with my past, with women who meant nothing to me beyond a way to get off.” To her credit, she didn’t even flinch, as if it wasn’t a problem. “When I bought this house, my mom was with me, and she said something that stuck. ‘Son, one day, you’re going to bring your wife home to live in this place, she’ll need to feel comfortable here, and you need to remember that when you make certain decisions about how you’re living your life.’”
“Oh,” Star whispered as her legs dropped from where they were hugging my hips. I let her gently slip to the floor and down on her feet.
“So, I took her advice. I’ve never had a woman here.”
“But you talked about Breakneck earlier,” she countered.
“Yeah, my roommate had women over, and fucked them in the house, but I never did. My bedroom was always off limits. I have never brought a woman here. There’s never been a woman in my bed here, or anywhere else, with me.”
“Wow.”
“Yeah, wow.”
“But…” she waved her hand back and forth between us.
“Yeah, think on that for a minute, Twinkles.” I grinned at her. “We’re doing this, and you can pretend that we’re just dating and seeing where this goes all you want. I’ve known you were going to be mine for a long time.”
She rolled her eyes at me. “If you knew that, then how did you end up dating Missy so long?”
“Just like I told her at the restaurant, she was a placeholder. I needed someone to chase away the loneliness, Star, especially after Viv flashed around that picture of you looking so happy with that fuckwad.”
“Are you sure that I’m who you want?”
“No doubt in my mind.”
She nodded her head then started yanking my jeans open, first the button, then the zipper, and finally she yanked them down along with my boxer briefs. Before I could even register the movement, she had my cock fisted in her palm and gave a tight, harsh tug.
“Fuck, baby!” The words blew from me on a hiss and then her mouth was there, licking the tip of my cock, tongue swirling around the head and flickering against the sensitive spot on the underside. My hands moved into her hair. Gripping in the gentlest way I could.
She pulled back just long enough to look up at me with those soulful brown eyes of hers. “I’m not on birth control, but I can’t get pregnant from swallowing.” Then she sucked me back in until her lips reached the hand she had wrapped around the base of my cock. Her eyes never left mine.
“Fucking perfect.” She winked and then turned her full attention back to sucking me off with skill I didn’t want to think too hard about. She sucked me off until I came down her pretty little throat, and then I returned the fucking favor right there in my damn hallway because neither of us were inclined to change the venue.

“The good news is that I travel light, so there isn’t a whole lot of pick up,” Star bragged as we drove my truck over to Mack’s house.
“Viv said you had a whole place set up for almost a year where you were living last. You mean to tell me that you didn’t have any possessions in all that time?”
I glanced over at her in time to see her face scrunch up in disgust before she schooled her features and I needed to return my attention to the road.
“I left it all.”
“Why?”
“You really want to know?”
“I asked, didn’t I?”
“Okay, the asshole I was dating, Jason, the one you rightfully called a fuckwad, he was fucking the girl that pretended to be my best friend.”
“Jesus, Star.” Had my woman had any luck at all with the people she kept close to her in life? No wonder she was still so sketchy around Ash, or that it took her a while to even warm up to the idea of talking to me, much less anything else.
