Chapter Five
How am I supposed tosleep with him right across from me? The lights are off and the candles are snuffed out, but the fireplace lights up the room like it’s Christmas. I giggle, pulling the covers up to my chin. It kind ofisChristmas.
I can’t believe he saw that article about me and actually read it. And when he straight-up asked if I was thinking about sleeping with him, I almost saidhell yes. When am I ever going to get another chance like this? With a man likehim?
William’s on his side, facing me. I can see him perfectly. His eyes are closed, his handsome face relaxed in dreamland, so I can stare all I want without being caught. I’m still buzzed from the wine, and my insides are humming.
I don’t know what it is about being near him that makes me feel so alive.
Maybe it isn’t just because I survived the accident. Maybe it’s because William looks at me like I’m more than just someone’s mom and sees me as the woman I really am.
The cozy firelight and my full belly begin to lull me. Exhaustion overrides my jangled thoughts. My eyelids become too heavy to stay open, and I burrow deeper under the blankets.
Taking slow, steady breaths, I let the terror of my accident, and the rush of fear when I first met William, ebb from my body. I’m safe. There’s nothing to fear from William.
William.
He slowly climbs off the couch and approaches me. I’m not afraid. I want him next to me. He’ll be more comfortable in the bed. He doesn’t get under the covers with me though. My heart races in anticipation. I don’t think it’s sleep he’s after.
It’s as if he knows exactly what I want. Without a word, he peels the blankets off me and crawls on top of me. I sink deeper into the bed, arching back, deliriously focused on the way his kisses light fires from my neck to my shoulders and down. He lifts my shirt and nips at my nipples, pulling and tugging each one gently with his teeth. “Suck harder,” I whisper, writhing under his expert tongue.
Moaning in ecstasy, I throw my head back into the pillow as he glides my sweatpants off my hips. I’m naked from the waist down, exposed in the firelight.
I hold my breath and watch William move to the foot of the bed. Heat rushes to my belly as he spreads my thighs with his elbows and pushes them wider with his thick corded arms.
He’s a love god, slowly taking his time to kiss each of my legs, sending fire racing through me with every touch from his lips. I’m wound tight, waiting, suspended in delicious anticipation as his magnificent tongue torturously licks the sensitive skin on my inner thigh all the way up to my pussy.
He groans and looks up. His hungry eyes lock on mine before he tips his head down again. “You are so beautiful,” he whispers, burrowing his face into my pussy. His massive hands grip my ass as he spreads my folds and laps straight up. The jolt of pleasure rips through me. He kisses and licks, working and flicking his tongue like magic, until finally, finally, he moves to my clit and sucks. I’m about to come.
“William,” I cry out, as he shoves a finger and then another inside me. My heart takes off at a gallop. I have no control, under the command of his tongue. “William,” I gasp, squirming, but he doesn’t let me move. I’m in a sweat, every cell is on fire. He holds me in place, licking and sucking around my clit and fucking me with his tongue until finally he latches onto my clit again and sucks it hard.
“Fuck,” I scream, going off like a champagne cork in space. “Oh God.” I’m in the middle of an explosion, passing the moon and stars. I go higher and higher, writhing against his mouth, humping his face until Earth’s gravitational pull finally brings me back down to this planet. I startle and open my eyes

OUR EYES LOCK ACROSSthe room. Flames tickle the hearth, throwing sparks as her glistening emerald stare widens. Jenny blinks, slowly coming to the realization that she’s not dreaming anymore. I swallow a lump in my throat, still hearing her whimpering cries, still seeing the blankets rustle over her frantic fingers. My cum is still warm on my stomach.
I didn’t mean to invade her privacy. The sound of her crying out my name woke me. And when I realized what she was doing, biting her lip and rubbing her clit like that—it was the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t help myself, and I came at the same time she did.
Christ. We haven’t even kissed.
Jenny adjusts the covers. For a second, I think she’s going to get out of bed, gather her stuff, and take off.
“Uh,” she starts softly. “I didn’t mean to—”
“It’s okay.”
“I was dreaming. I—”
“I know. Don’t worry about it,” I say casually, as if me watching someone get herself off happens every day.
I don’t want her to leave.
She was masturbating over me, and attracted to the man I really am. To Jenny, I’m not just a guy with the wrong last name.
She doesn’t say another word and pulls the covers up. In minutes her slow, soft, sleepy breaths fill the room. Relieved, I close my eyes and, soothed by her sound, relax.
I don’t want her to be embarrassed or shy about wanting me. Now, I want her more than ever.
