“Ugh,” I groaned and placed my head on his chest. “I wasn’t… I’m not… Maybe. Just, you’re free to do whatever you want. We aren’t anything, really. We’ve slept together a couple of times.” I still refused to look him in the eye and the silence made me keep babbling. “We haven’t DTRed and, according to Laney, that’s a thing people do, but I don’t know that because I don’t do this sort of thing. You probably do, so maybe you know.”
“You’re fucking cute.”
“Me?” I looked up and it felt like the ground shifted beneath me at the tenderness on his face…all directed at me.
“Yes.” He moved his hands up from my shoulders to my face, cupping my cheeks. “Tell me, did you like seeing me with Jessica?”
“Um, no?” I scrunched my nose and hated admitting it. “But you’re allowed…you can do anything…you don’t owe me anything.”
“I sure as hell don’t want to see you with another guy.” His jaw tightened and he ran his thumb over my bottom lip, his gaze heating when he stared at it. “We never talked about it, really, but while we continue our investigation, I’d like to be exclusive, if you’d agree.”
“We only hook up with each other?”
“Yes, Henderson. Just you and me.” He moved his thumb again and moved closer. “I’m having way too much fun exploring you to share.”
I gulped and heated at his words. “Okay.”
“You’re taking up way too many thoughts in my mind for me to get with anyone else. I found Jessica through a mutual friend and got great information from her that will help our case.”
“Yeah?” I lost my train of thought when he dropped his lips to the spot beneath my ear. “Not…here? People are out there.”
“I know,” he hummed, pressing his mouth against mine for a quick, passionate kiss that didn’t last nearly long enough. “Just wanted to remind you that your mouth drives me crazy.”
“Oh.”God, that’s a good line.“Yours too. For me.”
“I know. I love getting you flustered.”
“It’s embarrassing,” I admitted. I fidgeted with my sweater and tried smoothing it down to busy my hands with something, but he stopped me.
“No, it’s not. It’s real and endearing. I’m a fan of it.” He let his gaze drop from my face to eye my outfit and his grin grew. “You look good. I was hoping to convince you to let me stop by tonight, but this is perfect. Are you staying here long?”
“I came with Laney, so I’ll see what she wants to do first.”Ask about the text. Just do it.“Uh, did you get my text earlier? About my uncle?”
“What?” Alarm crossed his face and he searched his pockets, front and back, as the line between his eyebrows grew and his frown deepened. “My phone isn’t on me. What the hell?”
“Did you drop it?” I moved to search where he’d stood earlier but his rigid posture made me nervous. “What is it?”
“I had it at practice…talking to my coach.” His face paled and he slowly shook his head. “We were in his office. What did your text say, Amber?”
“Shit. Shit!” I paced the room. I showed him my phone and he hissed out some cuss words. “What do we do?”
“We hope he doesn’t read it and we head there in the morning.”

JEFF
Ihad to be on fire—my body was sweating like crazy and I wondered if Aaron had broken the furnace or something to spew fire into our house. I sat up and paused when hair spilled across my chest and legs tangled in mine.Amber.I stayed over with Amber.
When was the last time I’d crashed at a chick’s place? Years? I snorted at the realization and didn’t think twice about the lack of worry I had over it. Lying back down, I pushed her hair out of her face and studied her. She slept on her side and had one hand under her cheek with her lips slightly parted and I couldn’t stop my smile. She was naturally beautiful and so different from my usual type. I shouldn’t be thinking about kissing her awake. But that was what I wanted to do. I started at her neck—the spot that drove her crazy—and pressed feather-light kisses along her collarbone, moving down low to tease her dusky-pink nipple that peaked out from the covers and it was then she stirred next to me.
God she’s so fucking sexy with her sounds.I sucked the tip into my mouth and pulled on it with my teeth, copying the move on her other breast and admiring how wet and perky they werewhen I was done. Small tits were now on my list of favorite things, specifically hers. I kissed down her soft stomach and stopped when she lifted her head. “What feels so good?”
“My mouth on you.” I kissed just above her where her legs parted and flicked my tongue against the one spot that would send her over the edge. “You taste great in the morning.”
“You spent the night.” She pushed herself up to her elbows and stared down at me with a combination of confusion and heat in her eyes. I held the contact when I dragged my tongue deeper into her and sucked her clit hard. She moaned, threw her head back and clutched the sheets in her hand. “Jeff, oh.”
“That’s right, Amber. Come in my mouth.” I slid two fingers inside her and matched the pace of in and out with my tongue. She squirmed beneath me and I continued licking and teasing her until her body tensed. My dick throbbed each time she mumbled my name or whimpered with pleasure. I almost exploded when she convulsed around me. She moved her legs to wrap around my head, almost trapping me against her, and I fucking loved it. I deepened my taste as she rode out the orgasm and felt an immense sense of pride that I’d put that satisfied look on her face. With one final kiss on her pussy, I smiled up at her. “Good morning.”
