She shivered. Her nipples tightened and heat rushed between her legs.

“And how are compliments and flirting a bad thing?” The low, husky tone of his voice made her clench her thighs and swallow back the moan that was ready to escape.

The cat was out of the bag now; might as well go all the way and get it over with. With a small turn of her head, she took in his striking features. The hard jawline, his bedroom eyes, and pink lips that took her body to new heights, all the things she’d miss when she placed herself strictly in the friend box.

“You might have other females waiting in the wings, but I’m not used to casual.”

She waited for him to let her go. To draw the line, especially after hearing the story he’d told her downstairs. Only he didn’t. He held her in place, and his clean, earthy smell caressed her senses, lulling her in a wash of comfort. A low ringing in her ears and the steady thump of her heart pounded in rhythm with the pulse between her legs.

“You’re great for my ego, but there’s no one waiting in the wings.” Ryan ran his tongue along her bottom lip. “Only you. And from the sound of things I need another upgrade.”

His mouth crushed down on hers before she could fully process his words. Her lips parted and he wasted no time in taking the offering. Strong hands squeezed her ass, and the thickness of his erection pressed against her stomach. When he released her lips in favor of her neck, Jess sucked in air and let the oxygen flow back to her brain.

She squeezed his arms. “Ryan, I... I didn’t say that...” His hands had found their way under her shirt and he teased her hardened nipples through the cotton fabric of her bra. “We...we can...ah...”

He yanked the cups down and pinched the tight buds. Maintaining a logical train of thought became increasingly difficult. He caught the lobe of her ear between his teeth as he continued to squeeze her breasts, rolling his thumbs around her sensitive nipples. The action slow and torturous, causing rush of heat and need between her legs.

“Ryan...please stop.” Her body craved him and she missed the warmth of his hands the moment he stepped away. She crossed her arms over her breasts, pressing hard to stop the longing she had for his touch.

He ran his hands through his hair then scrubbed them down his face. “Do you want me to go?”

Jess shook her head. “I like you. And I have fun with you. With and without your clothes on.”

He copped a grin at her statement. “The feeling’s mutual.”

“You are who you are, and I’m not knocking it. But... I don’t... I’m not...” Jess groaned at her inability to form a coherent sentence.

He stepped to her and cupped her face. “Peaches, I get it. Can I tell you a secret?”

She nodded.

“This is new for me. Well, newish. I haven’t thought about dating one chick since high school. But the idea of introducing you to my motley crew of friends as only friends...” He moved his hands down, letting them settle on her waist. “Wasn’t looking forward to it.”

Sincerity in his tone plus a flirty glimmer in his eyes equaled a new sensation of warmth spreading through her. He wanted the same thing, to move from casual to something more concrete. It took all the self-control she possessed to stop herself from jumping up and down like a loon, though the smile that took up residence on her face probably was just as bad. Not just sex. He wanted more, he felt the same. Not just sex.

“So, you want an upgrade, huh?” She stepped back and stripped off her shirt, dropping it to the floor. Her bra soon joined it. “I think we should celebrate your new found status of boyfriend. Lose the pants.”

A slow saunter over to her nightstand, and she retrieved her bottle of birthday cake flavored lube. She turned back to find Ryan completely naked and ready for action. Her tongue darted out and moistened her lips at the sight. Hers. That gloriously sexy man was all hers.

A feveri

sh need consumed her at the thought. “You always wore condoms, right?”

His sexy grin widened. “Yes, always.”

“Good. Sit.”

He obliged and devoured her with his eyes as she moved back to join him. She lowered herself in front of him; he widened his legs to give her space. When she placed the bottle beside him, he picked it up and laughed.

“Why do you have flavored lube?”

“It was on sale.” A nonchalant shrug accompanied her words.

Her gaze left his face and landed on the impressive cock directly in front of her face. With slow movements, she wrapped her hand around it, closing her fingers one by one. Ryan groaned when she eased her hand down to the base and back up then gave a tiny squeeze to the tip. Licking her lips again, she cast her eyes up at him, maintaining eye contact as she wrapped her lips around the head.

She let her tongue slide through his slit then swirled it around the bulbous tip. Relaxing her jaw and breathing through her nose, she took more of him into her mouth, moving down until he hit the back of her throat. One hand worked his base, stroking and massaging what she couldn’t take in.

“Christ...” he ground out the word.
