“There it is. Look how well you take my cock.” His fingers fell away from my sensitized flesh and stuck three of them in my mouth, his hand gripping my lower jaw. I sucked, savoring the taste of me on his hand.

“Hold on.” His hips thrust harder, punishing and powerful, the frenzied pace mingling with his rushed breaths. “You’re going to take all of my cum, dollface. Aren’t you?”

My lips locked around his fingers as I nodded, humming my response with each hit of his hips, turning it into a whimper.

The cadence turned chaotic, his hands tightening around my throat as he pulled at my jaw. His hips stalled with a deep guttural groan that flanked a feral growl. He pulled his cock from my ass, his hands falling away from his brutal hold. “You’re so beautiful.”

My knees gave out, and my stomach plummeted to the bed. Sweat covered my brow. “Wow.” I giggled, my breath hitting my face. My body debilitated.

“We need a shower and another round.”

I looked at him over my shoulder. Sweat dripped off his chest, landing on my red butt cheek. “As in alcohol?”

He shook his head with a devious grin, his eyes dropping to his pulsing, growing length.

My brow arched. “Again? So soon?”

“You make me so hard, June.” He laid kisses down my spine, ending at the top of my butt. “And now that I have you, you’ll never leave my bed.”

I moaned and wiggled against him. “Except for that shower?”

“And food, of course.” He laughed, his fingertips sliding down my ribs. “You need to keep your strength.”

Rolling onto my back, my inflamed skin smarting as I spread my legs around his hips. “You drive me wild. But I don’t know if I can keep up with your insatiable needs.”

He pinched my nipple, and my eyes rolled back with a moan. “We’ll work you up to it.”

“I hope so because that was exhausting.” I yawned, my frame sinking into the mattress. “That was more orgasms than I’ve had all month.”

His chest rumbled. “That’s unacceptable. You should have them every day.” He lifted me from the bed and tossed me over his shoulder. I squealed, my hands slapping his bare ass as he brought me into the bathroom. “Let’s start now.”

Chapter 18

Carter

June’s warm body curled into mine, her legs slipping between mine like a lifeline. Her head nestled on my shoulder, and her hand rested softly on my chest, the weight of it grounding me. Each breath she took resounded in the tranquil room. The rise and fall of her body pressed against me, a serene comfort that I didn’t deserve.

The hotel’s alarm clock cast a faint red glow over the room, cutting through the shadows like a distant warning light. Outside, doors clicked shut in the hallway, the sounds slipping through the paper-thin walls. No doubt, the temporary neighborsheard every gasp and moan that slipped from her lips.

I drew in a slow breath, my chest rising beneath her, causing her to shift, her body tipping away from me. She rolled, the back of her hand wiping her mouth with a limp arm as she turned her back to me, mumbling incoherent words.

Viiiirrrrrbbbbb.

Viirrbb. Virrrb.

I groaned, reaching for my phone as it buzzed on the edge of the nightstand. I dragged it to my ear and exhaled. “Hello?”

“Dr. Morgan, it’s Felicity.” Clearing my throat, I glanced back at June, her breaths at a steady pace, the lean angles of her back making my cock swell. “Give me one second.” I tossed the sheets off, pulled on a pair of pants, and stepped out of the hotel room. “What’s going on?”

“We are getting slammed here. I need you to come in and assist.”

I pinched the bridge of my bruised nose and winced. “Felicity, I’m on vacation. My time doesn’t end until Thursday afternoon.”

“I know. I know. I’m sorry. And I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important. But we have a backlog, and we are falling behind. The sheriff’s department is on my ass and—“

“Whoa.” I breathed out. “Slow down. It’s six in the morning, and I had a long night.” I leaned against the wall, tucking my hand into my pocket, wanting a repeat button. “One thing at a time.”

“Sure. Right. Sorry. I’ve been up all night on a sixteen-hourshift, and the espresso shots are kicking in.”
