Page 87 of Chasin’s Surrender

Then Chasin set about hitting a new world record and made me explode approximately one minute later. But not until the second one hit did he lean forward, plunder my mouth, and moan his orgasm down my throat. Mine felt like heaven. His tasted like paradise.

“Why do you keep staring at me?” I asked Bobby when we were alone in the Gemini Group conference room.

Chasin and Holden had walked us in and told us Bent was on his way, then left us alone to go speak with Alec. But not before Chasin assured me no one could get into the office.

“I’m not staring.”

“Yes, you are.”

“No, I’m looking.”

“Same difference. What’s wrong, is there something on my face?”

“Uh, yeah, there’s something on your face. I believe it’s called afterglow. Though I wouldn’t remember because I haven’t had any in so long I’m on track to become a nun.”

Well, I suppose I had a few options. I could be embarrassed and deny it or I could try something new on for size and just go with the flow. I decided that Bobby was my best friend, and if I couldn’t laugh and joke with her about a seriously hot guy giving me a good rogering, then I was in trouble.

“He’s hot.” I shrugged and Bobby burst out laughing. “What? He is.”

“I agree. I just can’t believe that you’re joking about it.”

Damn, that was a sucker punch to the stomach.

“Was I that bad?”

Bobby stopped giggling and gave me a sad smile that broke my heart. “We’re not talking about that. I’m just glad to have my BFF back. Though, I like this version better. You’re not blushing, which means I might be able to get some details out of you.”

I wouldn’t go that far.

“I’m sorry I took myself away from you,” I apologized.

Bobby waved me off. “Nope. No way. Said we’re not going there. We talked. Everything’s the way it should be. And I don’t want to go back there.”

“Why? Because you’re afraid I’ll close up again if we talk about it?” I pushed.

“No, Viv, because we worked it out. So there’s nothing to go over. Besides, I’m taking a page out of Chasin’s playbook and I’ve decided that if you ever try to pull away again, I’m getting in your face until you snap out of it. But I don’t think I’ll ever need to do that because Chasin seems to have a dab hand with all things Genevieve Ellison and how to keep her head in the present.”

I liked that she thought that about Chasin because I did, too.

“Is that strange?”

“Is what strange?”

“I don’t know. I can’t explain it.”

“I know how to explain it. He loves you, doesn’t mind showing you, and he’s determined to make you fall in love with him. Though he doesn’t need to try because you’re already there.”

It seemed we weren’t hiding anything from anyone.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m asking. Isn’t that strange?”

“I’m not understanding, why would any of that be strange?”

“Bobby, we’ve known each other like a hot second, don’t you think it’s a little soon?” I hissed and she smiled.

“You sound like a deranged cat when you whistle and wheeze your words. And no, I don’t think it’s too soon and I don’t think it’s strange. I think it's fuckin’ awesome and all kinds of beautiful and I swear if you start making up a bunch of stuff to talk yourself outta lovin’ him, I’m gonna kick your ass.”

“Okay. Okay.” I waved my hands in front of me. “No need to get all violent. I was just wondering.”
