“Because we could have been doing that for the last seven years, but I went and fucked it all up.”
Chuckling, he hauled me back down into the pillows with him.“Don’t dwell on regrets.You weren’t ready back then.Just focus on the now.And all the orgasms and stuff you have to make up for.”He tucked a knuckle under my chin, turning my face toward his.“I’ll ask again; so?”
“Just as good, if not better, than last night.”
“I agree.You’re not sore anywhere from last night?”
“The good kind of sore only.I promise.”
His cocky boyish grin didn’t disappear when he lurched up and threw off the covers, moving to face me and tugging on my ankles a little before making me spread my legs.
“What are you doing?”I readjusted my pillows so I could see him better.
“Ah, there it is.”He leaned forward and swirled his tongue around a specific spot on my inner thigh, awfully close to my pussy, then gave it a kiss before sitting back on his heels.“You have the most adorable little constellation of freckles right here.”He drew a circle around it with his index finger causing me to shiver.“And I’ve been dying to kiss it.”
I blinked.
Not deterred at all, his grin just grew bigger, reminding me a lot at that moment, of a happy-go-lucky golden retriever.“We should see if it resembles any real constellations.Like a porcupine—’cause you’re so prickly.Was there a porcupine god?”
I kicked him gently, playfully in the chest, but he just grabbed my ankle, then the other one, and with no effort at all, flipped me to my belly.
“Now, I know it’s not your preferred porno position, but what’s your opinion on getting eaten out from behind?”
I glanced over my shoulder at him as he gripped me by the hips and helped me up onto my knees, my chest still on the mattress.“I’m up for anything.”
His grin was diabolical.“I was hoping you’d say that.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Jagger
Itwasnearlynoonbefore we came up for air.
We burned through two more condoms, and I ate Raina out like she was an all-you-can-eat buffet in Vegas.Then we had a sexy shower together where I ate her out one more time because I was never not hungry.
I was just tugging my shirt over my head in the guest room when my phone vibrated on the nightstand with an incoming call from Clint.Raina was in her room getting dressed.
“Hey,” I answered.“What’s the 4-1-1 onSoloman?
“Good morning to you too.”Clint snorted.“Myla wanted to coordinate someone on the other side to pick him up, so it took longer than we thought.He’s set to go over on the water taxi with Gabe Griswald.Burke and Bennett are going to escort him at two o’clock, since Myla is the only cop on duty right now.Everett’s out sick and they haven’t been able to find a permanent replacement since Fischer and Jenkins got what they deserved.”
“I’d like to go with them,” I said.
Clint made a noise in his throat.“I don’t think that’s such a good idea.You’re too close to the situation, and considering that you technically assaulted the man, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to provoke you into doing it again—with witnesses this time.”
I growled, but didn’t disagree with my brother.All I wanted to do was put a fist-sized hole through Soloman’s face, then chuck him off the cliff at Heaven’s Leap and let the crabs have a feast.
“You coming home tonight?”he asked, his tone slightly playful.
“It’s Monday, Ishouldbe working,” I replied.
“That didn’t answer my question.”
“It’s complicated.I don’t want tonotbe here.But we don’t want to mess with Marco’s head, or push things too quickly with him.So yeah, I’ll probably be home to at least sleep tonight.Probably come home shortly to get some work done.Maybe come back.We’ll see.I’m taking Raina’s lead on things.”
“The kids were allverycurious where Uncle Jagger was this morning.”
“And what did you tell them?”I gathered up all my stuff and shoved it into the duffel bag Clint brought me.
