“I don’t know. The end of the week… maybe.”

My chest tightens.

Smoothly, I swing my legs off the bed, push to my feet, and tiptoe to him, naked.

I loop my arms around his torso and crush my breasts against his back.

“Yeah, yeah... I’ll let her know,” he says, a smile threading through his voice when I press my lips against his back and move my hands over his abs.

“Uh-huh... Cut it out, Preston,” he says, laughing.

He pulls his hand out of his pocket, cuffs my fingers, drags them down, and presses them against his bulge.

Palming his erection, I gently squeeze.

He pulses under my touch, iron-hard.

“She’s good,” he says, tipping his chin down and staring at my hand. “Very good... in fact,” he adds, a grin flooding his voice.

He pivots and wraps his arm around my shoulders.

Our eyes lock before his dark green gaze dips, tinged with a lustful smile.

His clean-shaven face glows in the morning light, and his lips are arched into a sultry smile while his hand moves over my body before caressing my chest and stomach.

His fingers trail my folds and stroke my clit.

Closing my eyes, I relish the pleasure.

Ed’s voice becomes a quiet hum, and a gasp falls from my lips when James’ breaths trail closer, prompting me to open my eyes.

Grinning, he reads my eyes, murmuring something once in a while in response to Ed.

Giving him a come hither look, I push up on my toes, part my thighs, and quietly ask him to caress me even more.

“You’re so wet,” he mouths to me as I slowly roll my hips against his hand.

His phone goes quiet before Ed’s voice vibrates in the air again.

“James?”

“Yup,” James says, a smile flickering through his eyes as he shifts his focus back to the conversation.

His fingers stay on me, though, still stroking and making me wet.

“What about your girl?” James asks. “Is she okay?”

“Yeah.. yeah. She’s fine,” Ed says,

His voice sounds different, and James notices it.

“Is she?”

“Yup,” Ed says, more convincing this time.

Something else catches James’ attention.

He lifts an eyebrow, his smile fading.
