“All of it.”

Her quick smile gave way for uncertainty again. He gave a little thrust with his hips and was rewarded by her soft intake of breath.

“All you gotta do is move,” he encouraged. “Up and down, back and forth, side to side. Whatever feels good for you will feel good for me.”

With her cheeks endearingly rosy, she tried each suggestion, and it didn’t take long for her to figure out what she liked. And what she liked, he loved. Every move she made sent white hot sensation rippling through his body.

When she found her rhythm, he reached up to play with her breasts, then snuck a hand between them to ensure she finished before or with him. Her speed increased, and he began moving with her, his breath rasping in and out as her muscles tightened around him.

“Holy shit, Rox…oh, God…that’s so damn fucking good.”

Her head tipped back as she gasped her release, and he gripped her hips as his own release built. At his urging, she continued to ride him until he nearly blacked out from the force of his climax.

As the morning filtered through the sheer drapes to

bathe the dark-haired goddess sprawled out on top of him in golden sunlight, he thought he just might fucking love this woman.

Chapter 24

Roxanna sent Mae a smile through the gaping hole between Lift Your Spirit and Honor’s soon-to-be bakery before carrying a mug into the back room. While the construction crew was making headway framing up the connecting arch with sliding glass doors, she’d been readying the shop to open in ten minutes, and Loyal had started reviewing her accounts in the back.

She slowed her steps as she ran her gaze over his body in her desk chair. He’d left to shower and change at his hotel, and returned in a black button up shirt, medium gray dress pants, and black leather boots. Without a vest, his hotness was on display in a whole different way. He’d left the top two buttons of his shirt unfastened, and with his shirtsleeves rolled halfway to his elbows, his muscled forearms looked yummy as all hell.

“Coffee’s done.”

He glanced up as she approached, and the beauty of his smiling eyes got her right in the heart. Emotion swelled in her chest as he took the cup with its splash of cream and sugar. She wanted to step up between his knees, grasp his stubble-covered jaw, and kiss him with all the love in her heart. But, she also didn’t want to smother the guy and chase him away.

She loved him, and yet she was still falling for him, too. If she fell too far, and he left her like her mother had, she wasn’t sure how the hell she’d handle that.

When she started to turn back to the shop, he set the cup down and caught her by the waist. “Roxanna…”

She ended up on his lap, one arm draped over his shoulders, the other braced on his chest. With his cologne enveloping her in its familiar, delicious scent, and the heat of him warming her butt and thighs, it was a good place to be.

“You can’t leave before I get a chance to properly thank you.”

He captured her lips in a slow, thorough, bone-melting kiss. At some point, he slipped a hand under the hem of her long-sleeved, lavender sweater.

With his palm sliding up past her ribcage toward where her heart beat an unsteady rhythm, she murmured, “That’s the best thank you I have ever received.” May I bring you coffee for the rest of our lives?

Hmm. Not falling too far might not even be an option any longer.

“Told you I was exceptional.”

She gave a soft shove against his chest. “You should’ve warned me you were egotistical, too.”

His hand reached her breast, and he thumbed her nipple through her bra. Desire twinged in her core as he asked, “Did you really need a warning for that?”

“No,” she confirmed with a soft laugh. “Definitely not.”

She leaned in to press her lips to his once more.

“Rox? Are you back—whoa.”

Asher’s voice in the doorway shot Roxanna off Loyal’s lap at the same time he yanked his hand out from under her sweater. She hastily straightened her top as her best friend’s gaze bounced from her to his brother.

“Morning, Ace.” Her face felt unnaturally warm, and her voice was an octave higher than normal. “I didn’t realize you and Honor were here yet.”

“Obviously.” He leaned his back against the doorjamb and crossed his arms. “So, this is an ongoing thing now?”
