“You are,” I pant. “You are.”

She takes me into her mouth again, and I’m lost in the sensation. She’s so eager and enthusiastic, and it’s driving me wild. I have to reach out and steady myself on the wall to keep from falling over. I tilt my head back, closing my eyes and just enjoying the feeling of her lips wrapped around my cock.

“Jane,” I groan, my hips thrusting forward.

“Mmm,” she moans back, her eyes locked on mine.

“I’m going to come,” I warn her.

“Mm-hmm,” she hums, her eyes full of desire.

“Fuck,” I growl, my body tensing.

She takes me deeper, and I can’t hold back any longer. I explode, and she swallows, her eyes never leaving mine. It dribbles down her chin, and she licks it up, making sure not to waste a single drop.

“Fuck, Jane,” I pant, trying to catch my breath.

“Was that okay?” she asks, her eyes wide and innocent.

“It was more than okay,” I say, pulling her to her feet. “It was amazing. You’re amazing.”

She smiles and kisses me, and I can taste myself on her lips. It’s surprisingly erotic.

“I can’t believe you did that,” I murmur, my hands roaming over her body.

“I can’t believe I did, either,” she giggles.

“You’re full of surprises, Jane,” I say, nuzzling her neck. “Best lunch break I’ve ever had.”

“Glad I could be of service,” she teases. “I better get out of here before I get you in trouble.”

“Yeah, probably,” I agree, even though the last thing I want is for her to leave.

“I’ll see you tonight,” she says, kissing me one last time.

“I’ll be counting the minutes,” I reply, earning another smile.

She slips out of the room, and I lean against the wall, a smile on my face. I’ve never felt so alive, so connected to another person. I know it’s only been a few weeks, but I can’t imagine my life without Jane in it. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more.

That thought scares the shit out of me, and my eyes spring open just as soon as it comes to mind. I’ve never felt this way about anyone, and I’m not sure what to do about it. I’ve never been a relationship guy. I’ve always been the love ‘em and leave ‘em type. But with Jane, it’s different. I can’t imagine being with anyone else now that I’ve found her.

The realization makes me want to run for the hills, but I know I can’t do that. I can’t walk away from her and hurt her again. Besides, she’ll be leaving very soon. Whatever time we have left, I want to spend it with her.

I take a deep breath and push myself away from the wall. I need to get back to work. I’ve got a lot to do before the day is over. But as I make my way back to the front of the shop, I can’t help but smile. Even if things don’t work out between us, I’ll always have these memories.

For the rest of the afternoon, I can’t stop thinking about her. The way she looks at me, the way she laughs, the way shefeels in my arms. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before, and it’s both exhilarating and terrifying.

When it’s time to close up shop, I’m the first one out the door. I can’t wait to get home and see her.

Chapter 20 - Jane

Reiner is back at his place instead of staying with us. Once he went back to work, it became obvious that he was pretty much entirely healed and didn’t need the extra care.

But that doesn’t mean that we’re spending less time together. If anything, we’re spending more. We’re sneaking around, hooking up in every spare moment we can find. It’s exciting and dangerous and just a little bit thrilling. I’ve been staying at his place most nights, and I’ve fallen asleep in his arms more times than I can count.

It’s not just the sex, though. We talk, too. About our lives, our dreams, our hopes. Anything but the future. Both of us have been very careful not to bring it up. It’s an unspoken rule, and we’ve both been keeping to it.

My family adores him, and his pack has welcomed me with open arms. It’s been an amazing experience, and it’s something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
