“Give me an example.” He props two pillows behind his back and makes himself comfortable.

I have a vision of us doing this every night. Before getting naked and enjoying each other. A longing hits me with such force, I have to blow out a breath before I jump Jaxon.

I haven’t had a family in years. When my parents died, I thought I could build a family with Alan. But those dreams crumbled the second he thought he had rights to my inheritance.

Jaxon would never attempt to steal my money. For one, he doesn’t need it. Besides, money isn’t important to him. He’s already loaded. All the owners ofBuccaneer’s Whiskey & Distilleryare millionaires. But he wears t-shirts and old jeans while driving around in a Mustang that’s seen better days.

If only he hadn’t ghosted me after our first kiss.

“I can’t deny this woman anything.” ~ Jaxon

Jaxon

Blossom sighs and I glance over to find her fast asleep. I pry the remote control from her hands. She mutters something unintelligible in her sleep before rolling to the side. Her shirt hitches up, giving me a glimpse of her white undies.

My cock twitches. It urges me to pull those undies down.

Fuck. It’s going to be a long night avoiding the temptation of Blossom. But I need to resist her.

Blossom isn’t the woman for me. She’s outgoing and loud and fun. I’m an introvert who’s perfectly fine staying at home every Friday night. She would never be content with me or Smuggler’s Hideaway. Not in the long run.

I switch off the television and the lights. I might as well get comfortable for this long night of torture.

Blossom’s moan wakes me. Why is she moaning? Is she…

Crap. I’m wrapped around her with my hand on her breast.

I snatch my hand away. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…” I trail off when she rubs her ass against my cock. Damn. That feels good.

“Don’t apologize. Finish what you started.”

“It’s not a good idea.”

“Why not?” She rubs her ass against my hard cock again. “Afraid you can’t please me?”

“Don’t taunt me.”

“Don’t tease me.”

“I didn’t tease you on purpose. It was an accident.”

She giggles. “It was an accident?”

“I was sleeping. I didn’t realize what I was doing.”

“And what’s your excuse for rubbing yourself against my ass now?”

Shit. She’s right. I am pressing my cock against her. I start to scoot away but she grabs my ass to keep me in place.

“You got me all hot and bothered. You can’t leave me hanging now.”

“This isn’t a good idea,” I repeat.

“I agree. It’s not a good idea. It’s a fantastic idea.”

“Blossom,” I growl.
