She laughs, her eyes lighting up. “Well, yes. That was definitely not a possibility in my thought process. But you’re a mechanic who invests in local businesses and helps my grams at the shop—yeah, she told me about all the repairs you’ve done at no charge. You laid out Todd—a guy who worshipped the ground you walked on—just because he said something about me. None of this adds up. And I keep coming back to the same question.”

I cup her cheek, and she leans into my touch, seemingly despite herself. She’s warm and soft beneath my touch.

“Why?” She meets my gaze.

“Does it matter why?” I move closer, needing more from her.

“Of course it does. I come home from the city expecting a shit show, but here you are being so … so … so …”

“Handsome, thoughtful, sexy?” I supply.

“Yes!” Her cheeks turn a cute pink as shakes her head gently. “I mean no.”

“No?”

“Yes.” She sighs. “I don’t know.”

“You’re tired, Ruby.” I move even closer, my lips so close to hers. “You need to go to bed.” I kiss her, taking her mouth fully.

She makes a sound low in her throat and clings to me, her hands gripping the front of my shirt as I back her against the wall. I feel every bit of her, her round breasts, the curve of her thighs against mine. God, she’s all I’ve ever wanted, and she’s right in front of me.

I kiss the ever-loving shit out of her. I can’t stop. And when she rubs her thighs together and moans, I think something in my mind pops, and I’m carrying her to the bed and laying her down.

When I cover her with my body, I almost hiss at the heat between her thighs. Fuck, I need to be inside her, need to know what it feels like to be completely one with someone else for the first time. I’ve saved everything for Ruby; every last bit of me belongs only to her.

She wraps her arms around my neck as I tongue her sweet mouth, plundering her. Her grip on me is desperate, holding on to me as I move my hips against her, dry humping her through our clothes. My body is taut, my control hanging by the thinnest thread. And I’m so damn hot for her I might explode like a million fireworks and rain down nothing but sparks all over my shimmering Ruby.

“Knox.” She gasps as I pull my mouth from hers and suck her neck in open-mouthed kisses.

I want to taste every inch.

She moves her hips against mine in a faster rhythm, and I can feel her need. Something wild inside me has already broken loose, but now it roars as I slide down her body and lick the seam of her leggings. She’s wet, her pussy soaked for me.

A moan escapes her, and I don’t stop licking her. I spread her legs wider and press my shoulders between them, then I bring my fingers to the sweet spot between her legs, grip the fabric, and yank. Her leggings rip at the center, and I find a pair of pink panties beneath. I suck the fabric between my teeth, drawing out her pussy juice before pushing them aside and licking her pink, wet skin.

She jerks, her back arching, and I swirl my tongue around her clit. Learning what she likes. Memorizing her sweet cunt. When I focus on her clit, her breath catches, and she comes on a low moan. I can’t get enough. I keep sucking and licking, giving her pleasure as her body ebbs and flows with a pleasurable tide. When her lower back finally hits the bed again, I lick her slowly, then pull back. My cock is so hard I could fuck a hole through solid steel, but this isn’t about me. It’s about Ruby, about how much I want to give her.

Sitting back, I lick my lips as she watches. “Sorry about your pants.”

She laughs almost hysterically and shakes her head. “I don’t even know what to say.”

I lean up and kiss her mouth, gently this time. “I do.”

“Yeah?” She smiles up at me, her eyelids heavy.

“Goodnight, sweet Ruby.” One more kiss and I force myself out of the bed. If I don’t, she’ll never get any rest.

“You’re leaving?” She sits up.

“If I don’t, I’ll pin you to the bed and fuck you all night long.” I gesture toward my pants.

Her eyes widen, and she licks her lips.

I groan and back away to the door. “Get some rest. I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Okay,” she says breathily. Fuckingsexily.

I close the door and look over at Greasy, who I have no doubt was watching the whole thing. “Don’t let me through this door. She needs to sleep.” I run a hand through my hair.
