She sighed heavily. “Here we go. I knew you were too good to be true.”

“You don’t even know what I was going to say.”

“It’s something critical or you wouldn’t have started that way. I’m sure it’ll be like,don’t take this the wrong way, but your pussy tastes weird.”

I laughed and kissed her forehead. “Your pussy tastes amazing. Give me a chance to say what I was going to say.”

“Go ahead.”

“I wasgoing to saythat I only need one thing from you.”

“A blowjob?”

“No, smartass. I need to know you won’t sleep with anyone else. I don’t share.”

I saw her lips curve up in the shape of a smile in the dim light coming through the window. “Oh really? And do I get the same assurance from you?”

“Absolutely. You’re the only one I’m sleeping with. I give you my word.”

“Even when you’re on the road.”

“Even if I’m on the moon. I’m a one-woman man, and you’re my woman.”

After a moment of silence, she said, “Confession. It really turns me on when you’re a caveman in bed.”

“I noticed, babe. And it’s a good thing because that’s how I’m made.”

“Are you staying all night?”

“Am I invited?”

“Yes.”

“Then yes.”

“So…are we going to bed now?”

I let out a quick bark of laughter and kissed her. “Not even close.”

Ford lookedup from between my thighs, giving me a devilish grin.

“Good morning,” he said, moving to lay next to me in my bed.

Last night, he’d fucked me in every possible position, making me come a record four times, and I’d been woken up by him kissing my thighs and then giving me mind-blowing oral.

“Good morning,” I said, too sated to give him anything but a satisfied smile.

The man was an absolute sexpert. I was going to be sore for days, but I didn’t mind one bit. After spending my entire adult life believing what past partners had told me about being too uptight in bed, Ford had made me feel like a goddess last night.

He leaned in to kiss me and I quickly covered my mouth.

“I need to brush my teeth,” I said from behind my hand.

“Fuck that.” He brushed my hand away and kissed me gently.
