Phoenix closed the door and felt the weight of their lies had lifted completely. He was going to finally get to have Cait the way he’d wanted to since he met her. And the best part of it was that they’d gotten the lies out of the way. And who knew where things would lead with all the baggage gone?

Just as he got back in the truck, both of their cells rang. Cait pulled hers out of her purse as Phoenix picked his up out of the middle console. “It’s Ethan,” he said.

“Kel’s calling me.” Cait answered her phone, “Hey.”

“Hey, you need to tell Phoenix the truth,” Kel said.

“Just did. You have ESP or something?” she said with a laugh.

Phoenix laughed when he heard Ethan say, “The bet’s off.”

“I just told Cait about the whole thing. And she let me in on their secret too.” Phoenix blew a kiss to Cait. “And things are great between us now. I’m taking her to my real home. And I may just keep her there forever.”

“Good luck with that, my friend,” Ethan said. “You two have fun. Bye.”

They both ended their calls as Cait gazed at the handsome man she had finally admitted to loving. “This is nice, isn’t it?” she asked.

“What, being honest?” he asked as he reached over and took her hand, holding it between them as he drove away.

“Yes, being honest. Honest about everything. I think this is going to be a great weekend.” She gave his hand a squeeze.

“I know it is,” he said, then sped up. “Now to get you to my bed!”

She giggled and knew things would be going very well for them very soon.

Chapter 35

Candles lit up the bedroom as Jess came out of the attached bathroom and into Griffin’s bedroom. He’d stripped and was lying naked on his bed. Jess took in her breath sharply. She had a towel wrapped around her and let it fall to the floor.

Griffin moaned as he took her all in. “My God, you’re gorgeous, Jess.”

“You are too,” she purred as she made her way to him. The carpet tickled her feet as she walked across the floor. “The candles make you glow, Griff.”

“I think it’s you who’s doing that,” he cooed as he got off the bed and went to her, taking her into his arms and loving how right she felt in them. Their skin was all that was between them, finally.

Their lips met, and they both knew something was happening that had never happened for either of them before. A bond of sorts had been formed. Something neither had ever had before.

Griffin eased backward with Jess as he took her to his bed. He felt compelled to tell her, “You’re the first woman I’ve ever brought home.”

Jess stared into the dark pools of his eyes. “I’ll be the first to make love with you in your bed?”

“You will,” he told her as he pushed back her hair. “I want you to know that I think you’re special and this isn’t where things will end for us. I see this is just the beginning.”

Running her hand across his back, she said, “That’s good to hear. I want things to keep going as well.”

Picking her up in his arms, Griffin kissed her again. He wanted her to feel every last feeling he could send to her. He wanted her to know he felt more for her than he’d ever felt for anyone before. And he wanted to use his body to show her that, instead of words.

Easing her onto his bed, he placed her head gently on the fluffy pillow. For the longest time, he looked into her eyes, trying to convey his feelings. She stroked his cheek as she returned his loving gaze.

Griffin took her hand, delivering a kiss to her palm. He licked it, then ran his tongue up her arm. Giving her small bites along her neck, he heard her moan, and her body arched up.

He took her hands, holding them down over her head as he kissed and nipped her neck. Griff let them go as he moved down her body, kissing every inch as he went. Spreading her legs, he kissed her pearl, and she moaned with the sensation, “Yes.”

“You taste like sin, Jess. It should be illegal to taste this damn good.” He took the swollen bud between his lips and rolled it between them, making her moan and his cock grow.

It was a sweet agony he was putting her through. Jess wanted to feel his large cock inside of her. But his intimate kiss was more than exciting. His lips moved on her sex with a determination, but also with ease. He put her in a relaxed state as he gently kissed her. Her body was rolling with small waves as the pleasurable sensations flowed through her.
