I was nervous about her opinion about Orion.

“Mamá, I can just pick up dinner. You don’t have to go through all the work.”

“My baby is dating again. It’s an important occasion, and I need to know.”

“It’s nothing serious,” I said, then realized how that must have sounded.

A grunt sounded from Orion, and I covered the phone with a hand, mouthing, Sorry. Not what I meant.But it was too late.

I shrieked when Orion grabbed me, pushing me onto my back, sinking into the bed.

“You okay there, honey? What’s going on?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. I just dropped something,” I said, trying my best not to laugh.

Orion narrowed his eyes at me, probably punishing me for the comment. He scooted down, nudged my thighs wide apart, and buried his face against me, licking and sucking.

“Do you think the relationship has the potential to grow?” Mom asked. “I hope he’s not materialistic like Liam. I don’t want you to get hurt, sweetie.”

Orion swiped at me with slow, seductive strokes. I clamped a hand over my mouth to prevent a moan.

“Yes,” I said in my best voice.

Arousal surged in me. His wicked mouth was too much. I didn’t want to come while my mom was on the phone. That was just too weird.

“Good. I’m going to make a list of ingredients to fill the refrigerator and ask Betty to go on a grocery trip with me.”

“Okay. See you on Wednesday evening.” The phone dropped on the bed, and I moaned. “I didn’t mean it that way.”

“No?” He opened my legs wider, sucking on my bud harder.

The orgasm burst, blinding and beautiful. My body absorbed the powerful bliss, and the quivering ebbed. He kissed my thighs, making his way up to my mouth. “Remember this: when you’re with me, it’sserious.” Then he kissed me deeply.

Now it was my turn. I pushed him back onto the bed.

“Let me show you howseriousI am.” I gripped his pulsing cock, stroking its glorious length. Things had happened quickly tonight, and I didn’t get a chance to thoroughly examine him.

A masterpiece. An extraordinary weapon that throbbed for me. I pressed kisses up and down, tasting him. He was so male and so perfect.

My lips hovered over his crown. Then I licked around him. “Am I beingseriousenough?”

“Not yet.” He growled, daring me with his eyes.

Pleasure strained his face, and I loved that I had the power to do that to him.

He bent an arm behind his back, watching me with darkened eyes. “Show me the power of that seductive mouth and curious tongue.” He swallowed. “I’ve dreamed about them too many times.”

Knowing he’d envisioned me pleasuring him made me want to give him everything.

I took him into my mouth, his flavor overwhelming me. Dark, dangerous, and delicious.

He let out a loud curse, followed by a growl and heavy breathing.

“My Madame Sarcasm and Sunshine all in one.” His eyes rolled back, and I quickened my pace.

After round six of our sexcapade, we finally drifted off to sleep . . .
