Page 156 of Forgot to Tell You Something

Those huge hands palm my ass, his thumb trailing down my crack, teasing my rim. I meet his gaze, further inflamed by the raw desire on his face. Anything this man wants, he can take.

“I plan on spending the rest of the night inside of you. But I’m not done playing with you, yet. All you can do is lie there while I make you come. Again and again.”

Owen presses his thumb inside me, and I buck at the intensity. “Relax into it.”

His free hand circles my clit, sliding through my wetness, as he continues to open me.

It’s a fine line between pain and pleasure, and I’m riding the hell out of that wave.

A throaty purr breaks from my lips, wordlessly begging for more, wanting him to go further. His shaft teases my entrance, and I whimper, desperate to feel him inside of me. Then, with a feral growl, he surges into me.

My hands may be tied, but my hips meet every thrust, moaning out his name. We come hard, fueling each other’s climax. Owen collapses onto his forearms, panting, his breath hot in my ear.

I turn my head, nudging his mouth to mine, my tongue licking the seam of his lips, begging entrance. With a low groan, he tangles his tongue with mine in a leisurely dance.

“How about you untie me now?” I murmur against his mouth. “Let me have a turn.”

Owen nuzzles my nose, dropping feather-light kisses along my face. “That was only round one, Darlin. I’m nowhere near finished with you.”

“Iknow that look,” Dr. Jessop remarks as I stroll into his office. “That is the look of a man who got laid last night. Lucky dog.”

I chuckle, but I’m not denying a damn thing. I got more than laid. I tortured Tally’s exquisite body for hours until we both collapsed from exhaustion.

It’s pure heaven between her thighs.

“I’m glad things are better between you and Lu. I worried that Charlotte was going to screw up everything for you.”

You and me both, buddy.

“It’s not from lack of trying on Charlotte’s part.” My statement is accurate, although my ex-fiancée’s definition of rekindling a romance is colder than an iceberg in the Arctic. To her, love really is a series of business transactions.

“How is Lu feeling? How’s the baby?”

“Fantastic.”

I’m grateful to Jessop—in more ways than one. He’s one of Tally’s biggest fans, so he had no problem concocting a plan to make my tiny vixen spill the beans about our baby.

Yep, it was totally his idea to saddle her with a task in the cath lab that included about a million x-rays. It might not have been the most original concept, but hey, it worked.

And after last night, Tally and I are finally picking up the pieces of our relationship and getting back on track.

I sincerely hope Charlotte has learned the meaning of healthy boundaries, particularly where my relationship with Tally is concerned.

“Any last-minute details I need to know before we meet with Dragon Lady?”

Another reason I love Ken Jessop. He saw through Charlotte from the start. Oh, he admits that she’s beautiful, but he can smell her variety of bullshit from a mile away.

“It’s just another meet and greet, although this time, you’ll see the big man himself.” I cringe, knowing that I must spend time with Mr. Auerback. “I hate that we have to go away for a few days.”

“How’s Lu taking that news?”

I shrug, perching on the edge of the table. “Like a champ, as always, but I know it’s an act. How would you like it if your wife ran off with her ex, even under the guise of business? It looks bad. I wanted Tally to go with us, but the unit is short-staffed right now. Plus, she might kill Charlotte before the end of the trip, if she has to deal with her for more than an hour.”

“We all might kill Charlotte before the end of the trip. Here’s to alcohol and the beasts it soothes,” Jessop smirks, smiling over my shoulder. “Hey Lu, your ears must be burning. We were just talking about you.”
