Her hand slips between us and wraps around my cock. I moan into her mouth as goosebumps creep across my skin. Being with Tessa is a full body experience. Every touch, every kiss, every moment with her is electrifying.

The shrill ringing of the hotel phone breaks the cocoon we have been wrapped in. I'm tempted not to answer, but at Tessa's urging I reach over and grab the receiver. "Hello," I grumble.

"Madden," Tessa's father snaps. I wince and glance at a blushing Tessa.

"Mr. George, what can I do for you at—” I glance at the clock “—four in the morning?"

"Tessa hasn't come home. Is she with you?"

The girl in question covers her hot face with a hand and begins to giggle. "This is embarrassing," she whispers and takes the phone out of my hand. "Dad, I'm fine. I'm going back to Boston with Madden in the morning, so we'll come by and pick up my stuff. Talk to you later. Bye." She hands me the phone, and we hear her father curse before he's cut off as I replace the receiver.

"I should have called, considering I’m staying at the house." She winces. "The moment you kissed me, I forgot everything else."

I grin. "That's good." I kiss her. "So, you're coming to stay with me in Boston, huh?"

"Well, you invited me."

"Let me show you what to expect at my place." I start kissing and nibbling my way down her body until I reach the pussy that has given me so much pleasure tonight. I wiggle my eyebrows before burying my face between her legs and send her into orgasmic bliss.

TESSA

My parents'house is impressive at first glance. It's been my sanctuary for a while now, but looking back, I don't think it ever settled me the way Madden does. The man, a total stranger at the time, stayed with me in the hospital. He held my hand, wiped away my tears, and never left my side until my parents arrived. I couldn't believe the kindness of a stranger. Now I want to be with him. Hold on to what started in the hospital. And last night... last night he made me feel. Like, really feel. Something I've never felt before. He looked past my flaws, or what I think of as flaws.

As he pulls up to the big double doors at the front of the house, I look at him, wondering what he's thinking. He gives me a wry smile. "Can I see your bedroom?" he says, wiggling his eyebrows.

I burst out laughing. "No boys in the bedroom," I tease. "Although I'm not sure you're a boy."

He chuckles. “Sweetheart, I haven't been a boy for a long time."

I unbuckle and move closer to meet Madden in the middle. He cups my face and places his lips over mine, kissing me softly. I feel the warmth of his touch and the intensity of his gaze,making my heart race. With a gentle tug, he deepens the kiss, sending a rush of desire between my legs.

The sudden banging on the windshield of the car shakes me and makes me freeze in fear. It was sudden and unexpected.

Madden curses and throws himself out of the car. "What the hell?" he shouts as he walks around to me in the passenger seat. He opens my door and lifts me out into his arms. "It's okay. Breathe with me, sweetheart."

"Oh, Tessa," Dad hesitates. "I didn't mean to scare you, honey.” His eyes glance quickly at Madden before returning to me. "Why don't you come inside and sit with your mom for a while?"

Madden's hand tightens around my waist. I lift my hand and stroke his face, a small smile on my lips. “We’ll be on the road soon,” I whisper, reaching up to give him a quick kiss.

"Dad, you like Madden, so please stop frowning at him."

He stutters. "I'm not frowning!"

"If you say so." I take Madden's offered hand. "Where's Mom?"

"Sunroom." Dad stares whimsically at the house. "You know how she loves to watch the snow fall. So do you." He smiles and turns to Madden. "I apologize for the less than warm welcome. Please come in and let's start over." Dad waves his hand toward the house.

We follow and pause with Dad on the doorstep. "I should warn you, Ralph is still here." He winces. "I didn't realize what a worm he is until this morning. Money. That's why he's here. Asshole."

I chuckle, and Madden's eyes dance with glee. "Well, I'm the hot guy who wears hockey skates for a living. I own a few suits, but you'll have to take me as you see me. One thing I can promise you, sir, is that I have zero interest in your fortune." He winks at me. "But I am interested in your daughter's assets." He smiles.

My cheeks flush as I push into him.

Dad clears his throat. "Enough of that, young man." To me. “Are you're really going to Boston with Madden?”

I grin. "Yes, Dad." I let go of Madden and kiss my dad on the cheek. "We'll go say hello to Mom, then Madden will help me pack. Don't worry about me. I'll be safe with him.” Another quick kiss on the cheek and I'm dragging Madden through the house.
