Page 88 of Next Time I Fall (Excess All Areas 2)

Matt coughed into his hand. “She thought you were what?”

“Yeah. Dying. Apparently, I had to be at the end of my natural born days for her to believe I was genuinely sorry.”

Matt began to laugh, a deep throaty chuckle, and Jase couldn’t help but follow.

An hour later, when Bexter came back into the studio, he found them lying in the exact same spot.

The page was blank, but the bones of the song was formed, and a weight heavier than he realised he carried had been lifted off Jase’s chest.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Babe. Turn your fucking alarm off.” The grumpy voice rumbled in her ear.

“Shit,” she muttered, reaching for her phone.

No sooner as she had turned it off, Jase’s arms ensnared her, pulling her back to the warmth and security of his chest, where she’d obviously spent the whole night.

Naked Jase was something to be admired. He also gave the best sleep hugs. Naked Jase and sleep hugs after wild sex, riding the high of over twelve hours of intense recording, was the absolute best thing. “We need to go.” Her words were mumbled against his chest.

“You’ve got your tits all up against me. We aren’t going anywhere.”

God, she loved his rough and gravelly morning voice. It vibrated through her chest. Exploring each other over the past couple of days had been nothing short of heavenly.

“Dad’s expecting you all back at the studio early so you can—”

“And Iknowyou can feel Little Jase all ready to get up close and personal with you before we get out of this bed.”

Cerys laughed. “Stop calling him Little Jase.”

“Like I said, you don’t like the name, change it. In fact”—he took hold of her hand and led it between the two of them, placing it on his erection—“why don’t you have a good feel of him, see if he inspires you.”

Cerys leaned back so she could look at him as she stroked him. He opened one eye, looked at her, then closed it again. “Not my eyes that need a new name. Focus, Cerys.”

“We can’t be late. They’ll all know why.”

Jase finally opened his eyes. “I’m late every morning.”

“Yes.Youare. But I’m usually the first one in.”

“Fucking keener,” he muttered as he placed the tips of his fingers between her legs. “Anyway, this morning I want to be the first one in here.”

Cerys gasped. “That’s such a terrible joke.”

“No joke. This is the first pussy Little Jase has wanted to stick around with in a really long time. He gets kind of anxious if he doesn’t get to say hello.”

“Fine,” she said, stroking him firmly, smiling as she heard him hiss in a breath. “But it will have to be a quick hello.”

Jase placed his lips gently on hers. “He’s the master of the fast fuck.”

“I don’t even know how I’m turned on right now. Fast fuck?”

“You said quick.” His finger slipped gently inside, and she opened her legs a little wider, her body sparking to life at his touch.

“Wet,” he groaned. “Just the way I love it.”
