Without warning, I drove my finger inside her slick pussy, enjoying how tightly she immediately clenched.

“Julian!” Though she whispered my name, hissing at me, I could hear the urgency in it, the desperation.

“See?” I chuckled to myself, knowing she couldn’t even hear me. “My name sounds so good when you say it, love.”

Juni’s quiet cries continued as I worked my finger in and out faster. “Julian, I don’t think…I can’t. I can’t. It feels too good. I won’t be able to—”

I clapped my hand over her mouth and leaned down. After momentarily pushing the headphones out of the way, I breathed in her ear. “I know, Juni baby. I know. You’re about to come harder than you ever thought possible, but you’ll be a good girl and take it while staying quiet for me.”

“Yes,” Juni moaned softly into my hand, and I returned to her pussy, playing with her clit with one hand while unbuckling my belt with the other. By the time I had my cock ready at her entrance, Juni was a panting mess beneath my fingers. I replaced my hand over her mouth, knowing I’d need to stifle everything she was about to feel.

I watched Juni’s eyes flutter shut, her lips drifting apart as she listened to something sinfully sweet. And then, in case she needed a reminder that I was still here, I applied the slightest bit of pressure to the…accessory still sitting snugly in her pretty ass.

Prepared, I caught her groan with my palm, and then before she could fully recover, I pushed my cock into her dripping wet pussy.

True to her word, Juniper swallowed those hot noises of hers, and I tried to do the same as I reacquainted myself with how goddamn good she felt. Thank fuck I wouldn’t have to last long. I could already feel Juniper tightening around me, likely overstimulated with being filled in more than one way. Which was exactly what I had been banking on.

I pulled out slightly before ramming into her harder, rubbing her clit in time with my thrusts. Juniper’s fingers curled into little fits as she took it, and I realized just how much I was getting off on watching her try to contain herself. Her muffled cries, her eyes squeezed shut, her pussy strangling me.

Only seconds later, she exploded around me, her entire body trembling and quaking beneath mine. It was perfect timing because I came moments after she did, filling her to the brim. Juni slumped to the desk immediately following her climax, and I tried to be as gentle as I could when I pulled out of her and removed the plug. Little whimpers were my only clue that she even noticed, and I bit down on a smile.

I didn’t take the headphones off until I’d cleaned us both up as best I could, and then I prompted, “So?”

If she said the fireside fuck in the audiobook scene she was listening to was the best part of that, I wasn’t quite sure what I’d do. Probably try again to convince her otherwise, not that I minded partaking in that. Maybe I’d have to recreate the scene for myself, rent a cozy place in Vermont for the weekend that had a massive fireplace to fuck in front of. Yeah, that sounded pretty nice.

Juni pretended to think hard, moving to stand slowly—almost as though it was now foreignnotto have something inside her. She grinned, teasing me with how her lips curved as she crossed her arms over her chest. “I really can’t say which is better, and if you loved me, you wouldn’t make me pick between you and my books.”

My smile grew as hers faded amidst the realization of what she’d just said. It was an offhand thing, I could tell. Brown eyes popped wide in instant anxiety.

“Julian, I didn’t—”

I cut off her floundering with a hard kiss before moving toward the door. The noises of people chatting and phones ringing went on outside the door, the rest of the office completely unaware of what had just happened inside our little space.

“What are you doing?” she hissed, looking bewildered.

“I’m not making you pick,” I said with a grin. “Between me and the books.” Juni’s jaw dropped slightly, but figuring I’d already pushed her limits a few times today, I pointed her toward her desk and switched the topic. “Now, go sit down and cross your legs before you make a mess out of those tights with my cum.”

Her jaw dropped further, but I didn’t miss how she squeezed her legs together tighter as she stood there. It was then that I realized I’d just switched putting one thing inside Juni for another. And that thought would equally torture me the rest of the day.

Fuck.

I closed the door behind me when I left, still thinking it was the best Monday ever.

That is, until I returned from the bathroom and saw a text that ruined fucking everything.

GRAYSON: Hey, man. Can we schedule a time to chat about Gabriel’s case? There are a few things I wanted to talk about with you.

* * *

I sat at my desk,staring at Grayson’s text as the clock ticked and tocked behind me. Juni was somehow engrossed in her work, her keyboard clicking as she typed at a furious pace.

I didn’t know how she did it, how she returned to her computer so easily. The only reason I wasn’t still obsessing over what we’d just done was because of Grayson’s text.

Gabriel’s case.

I hadn’t even thought about Gabriel’s case since before Christmas, when Juniper first stayed over. The last several weeks, I had been so wholly focused on Juniper that I’d forgotten entirely about the promise I’d made to Grayson to finalize our approach, discuss the case with Daphne, and actually take legal action.

I was a shitty friend.
