Page 74 of Devious Temptation
Moving to sit on the edge of the bed, I wrap my arms around her as she hangs up and steps between my legs, winding her arms around my neck. “Sounds like Rose is bringing River to our Fourth of July BBQ today. My mom told me I should invite you, too.”
Shock lances through me. Did she tell her parents about us?
Lucy reads the question on my face and shakes her head with a soft laugh. “No, my family doesn’t know about us. I think she just thought it would be a nice gesture so you weren’t alone, or in case you don’t have other plans.”
Her statement is more of a leading inquiry as she breaks eye contact to look at the floor between us. “You don’t have to come. I know it might be… awkward to spend time with my family but not be able to be…us.”
I pull her flush against me. “Do you want me to come?”
The little vixen smiles mischievously. “Ialwayswant you to come.”
Laughing, I roll my eyes, even though my cock hardens at her innuendo. “If you want me there, Lucy, I’ll be there.”
Something warm shines in her gaze as she nods slightly. “Yeah. I want you there.”
One of her hands slides down my chest and lowers to unfasten the button of my pants. Her free hand curls in the hair at the nape of my neck, pulling me in for a kiss full of heat and passion and intent. She breaks our contact to rid me of my pants, then climbs onto my lap.
“I also want you here.” She lines my cock up with her entrance.
“We need a condom,” I say, but I make no move to stop Lucy as she slides down onto my length. Warm, wet, and so fuckingright. A groan escapes my throat as her mouth falls open, brows drawing together in satisfaction.
“I want to feel you,” she moans as she begins to ride me. “I want to feel what’s mine.”
Her words rip a feral growl from my chest—a bestialfeeling as I hear her claim me for her own. Holding her to me, I flip us around, driving into her with heavy, deep thrusts. “If I’m yours, you’re mine, rainbow.”
I recognize the emotion in her sun-kissed irises, the love, as she takes everything I give her with equal fervor. Her nails dig into the skin on my back, hips rising to meet every sensual roll of my own as she whispers into the space between us, “I’ve been yours for a long time, Lawson Morgan.”
Once upon a time,I imagined what being part of this circle of friends would be like. In another life, where Charlotte didn’t cheat, Rhys stayed true to Lucy, and they made it through college long-distance.
Now, I’m so fucking thankful it never worked out that way.
Because this? This is a dream I never allowed myself to ever imagine.
Lucy’s parents and their friends welcome me with open arms…literally.Bree hugs me when I step over the threshold with River in tow, and her husband, Will, shakes my hand with a warm smile as he hands me a frosty bottle of craft beer.
“Thanks for taking care of my little girl, Lawson. She loves her job at M.I.G.,” he tells me as he leads me to the backyard where Lucy’s pseudo aunts and uncles are.
I don’t think you’d be thanking me if you knewhowI take care of her.
Part of me feels guilty for taking advantage of their hospitality because I know for a fact if they knew I just fucked their daughter a few hours ago, they wouldn’t be so friendly.
“Well, she’s great at her job. We’re lucky to have her.” I lift the beer to my lips just as Lucy appears between the open French doors. She’s twisted her hair into a more complicated updo after I fucked her six ways from Sunday, and it was too tangled to leave down. Her distressed white denim shorts are so tiny they have me thinking of how badly I want to bend her over again, and her emerald top reminds me of the dress she wore a few weekends ago.
Everything about this woman always has me so wound up it’s a miracle I don’t get hard—and that no one notices how our eyes remain locked across the yard as she saunters over to her aunts.
“So, Lucy says you’re returning to New York next year. I thought you took a promotion for this office, though?” Mark, Kendall’s husband, inquires.
“Yeah, I did. If I went back, I wouldn’t be an executive director. But I’m actually thinking of staying now.” My eyes stray back to Lucy, who’s laughing with her sister Lorraine about something.
Will flips a few burgers on his grill. “Oh, yeah? Lucy will be happy to hear that. She likes working for you. Does that mean Charlotte is gonna stay in Florida?”
“Honestly, I don’t really know what Charlotte is going to do,” I answer truthfully. Before my brain can catch up with my mouth, I add, “I’m having divorce papers drawnup at the moment, so I’m sure she’ll take the house in Boca and whatever else she can get her hands on.”
It was only really a thought, not a concrete decision. Yes, I’m having papers drawn up, but I haven’t decided whether to send them. Charlotte will cost me a lot more post-divorce than she does now but with things changing between Lucy and me…
“Good for you.” Henry, Rose’s father, tips his beer in my direction. “That woman is bad news, no offense. I’m sure Charleigh has some suggestions for divorce lawyers if you need them.”
“Thank you. I might just have a talk with her about it.”
