“Because I was trying to figure out what I’d done to make you think I was nervous. I’m not, to be clear.”

The flare of hurt abated with his soft words, replaced by guilt. “You didn’t do anything. I just wasn’t sure if I was supposed to let Shaw and the others know we were together. We haven’t talked about it.”

“Let’s talk about it now. I’ll go first.” He pointedly glanced my way to be sure I was listening, making me smile. “I didn’t want to get involved with you in the beginning because I was afraid I’d drive you off the way I did Eva. That’s why I agreed to friends without benefits.”

“You didn’t drive off Eva,” I interrupted. “And you won’t drive off me.”

He nodded, rubbing his thumb across my wrist. “Good because the more I got to know you, the more I liked you. I wanted to spend all my time with you, and that hasn’t changed. I want everything. Can you handle that?”

I nodded, staring down at my lap to try to find the right words. I didn’t want my mouth to mess this up for once. “In my experience, people leave, or don’t show up in the first place. It’s fine when I don’t have any emotional investment. You made it not fine. There’s so much in here—” I stopped to wave my free hand over my torso. “It’s scary and exhilarating and exhausting. What I do and say matters suddenly because if I’m not careful I might hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you. I’d do a lot tonothurt you. I’d do a lot to keep you too.”

“You don’t have to do anything, Sunshine. I’m yours.”

Warmth spread from my chest, and I scooted closer to lay my head on his shoulder. “I’m yours too.”

Adam kissed the top of my head. “I know.”

I giggled, relieved we’d made it through the conversation. “Cocky.”

“As soon as we get home, baby.”

For once,Shaw and RJ were in the living room when we came in the door. Adam pulled me to a stop, and RJ immediately zeroed in on our hands clasped together. She tilted her head at me in a silent question even I understood. Shaw straightened from his slouch, but Adam didn’t give him a chance to say anything.

“Blue and I are together, and I’m pretty sure I’m in love with her. Deal with it.”

“Shit,” Shaw cursed as RJ laughed.

“Questions?” Adam continued. “No? Excellent.”

I stared at him wide-eyed as he dragged me into his bedroom and locked the door behind us. “You’re in love with me?”

He grinned as he yanked off his suit while I stood there with my mouth open. “Yep.”

“I…” My brain declined to finish the sentence.

Adam dropped his pants, revealing Big Mac in all his glory, and chuckled. “You don’t have to say anything—I just wanted you to know. And now I want you to know that I plan to eat that sweet pussy until you come at least twice.”

I probably should have stuck with silence, but surprise made me ask, “Are you sure?”

“Come here, Blue.” He didn’t wait for me to act before peeling off my dress as promised. The stretchy material gave him easy access, and I helped by lifting my arms. My bra and underwear followed quickly after.

Adam crawled backward onto the bed pulling me with him until he sat against the headboard with me straddling his lap.

“Are you sure?” I asked again.

“I know what I want, Sunshine. Now grab the headboard and ride my face.”

He wasn’t asking. Adam slid lower and grabbed my hips, positioning me right where he wanted me. With one hand working my pussy and the other on his dick, Adam growled his satisfaction.

With my head thrown back and my legs wide, I gripped his headboard and did as he ordered. After two orgasms, my legs were mush, but I wanted more. I needed him inside me.

I lifted off him and muttered, “Condom.”

He immediately reached for his nightstand. A few seconds later, Adam scooted up until I was positioned above his sheathed cock. His eyes caught mine as he drew a nipple into his mouth, flicking the tip with his tongue. With my hands still gripping the headboard, I leisurely sank down until he was notched at my entrance.

He groaned, and his hands clenched my hips. “That’s it, baby. Take what’s yours.”
