I needlessly asked, “Is your knee okay?”

“Not thinking about it. All I notice is you.”

He drew his fingers out, and I watched as he lifted them and sucked them into his mouth, murmuring, “You taste so good.”

I swallowed, my pussy clenching. “I need you inside me,” I said tightly.

I wasn’t usually this demanding, but with Jonah, it was as if my restraint had broken free. His hands gripped my hips. As I rose, he reached between us, positioning his cock at my entrance, whispering, “Easy now.”

I felt the thick press of his crown sliding inside, stretching me. He controlled the slow descent of my hips as I lowered over him, sheathing him inside my slick core. A moan escaped when he was finally seated fully inside. I wiggled my hips as if in emphasis.

We were completely still through several resounding beats of my heart. Then he nudged deeper. I rose again, sinking down slowly, savoring the stretch.

My breasts brushed against his chest with every roll of our hips together. The slippery fusion where we were joined teased against my clit, sending sharp, piercing jolts of pleasure through me. With every breath, I was chasing my release as it built to a crescendo inside, the sensation drawing tighter and tighter. He teased his fingers over my swollen clit. I thought I couldn’t bear the pressure inside until it shattered, and I cried out, pleasure splintering through me, so sharp it was almost painful, so intense I lost sight of everything. My mind simply went blank.

All I knew was the feel of his arms holding me and the sensation breaking in sharp ripples through me.

ChapterEighteen

Jonah

Alice was trembling against me. Her skin was soft and dewy, and my release had been threatening ever since I filled her. I rocked my hips once more, nudging just a little deeper into her clenching core and that was it. Lightning sizzled through me, the sensation was electric and intense.

She relaxed against me a moment later, her head tucking into the curve of my neck. I held her close, just trying to catch my breath. I idly sifted my fingers through her curls, savoring the feel of her breath gusting lightly against my skin.

After a few moments, I felt her lift her head, and I dragged my eyes open. We stared quietly at each other. Her silvery-gray eyes were serious as she studied me. She surprised me by leaning forward and pressing a kiss to the base of my throat. Her eyes fell closed, and I felt the breath she drew in, a subtle tightening in her body followed by release when she let it out. Her lashes lifted, and her eyes searched mine.

She seemed to be trying to think of what to say. I found myself caught in uncertainty for a moment. Just then, the sound of a dog’s claws on the hardwood floor reached us.

Alice glanced over her shoulder, a smile stretching across her face when she looked back at me. “Saved by a three-legged dog.”

I chuckled. “Did we need to be saved?”

Her gaze sobered, and she lifted her hand, trailing her fingertips along the stubbled edge of my jaw. “Maybe, maybe not.”

We untangled ourselves. It was only then that the pain in my knee drew my attention as I gingerly walked to the bathroom to dispose of the condom and clean up. Alice glanced at me after I finished tugging my T-shirt back on as I returned to the living room. She gestured toward my leg, asking, “How does it feel?”

I looked at her for a long moment, savoring her tousled curls, the pink flush on her cheeks, and her kiss-swollen lips. “Well?” she prompted.

“It’s sore. I think you helped me forget for a little bit.” I eased my hips back on the couch.

Her lips twitched as she turned, crossing into the kitchen and rummaging through her purse, which sat on the corner of the counter. A moment later, she approached me. Honey’s chin was resting on my good knee.

She held a glass of water aloft and two pills in her hand. “Holly gave me the medicine. She said your last dose was acetaminophen, so this is ibuprofen. You’re supposed to alternate.”

“She gave you that?”

Alice nodded. “You were right there. I think you were annoyed, so you didn’t notice. Not with her, but the situation.”

I took the glass of water and ibuprofen. “Thank you.” I swallowed the pills, chasing them with a gulp of water. “And you’re right. It was the situation, not Holly. Thank you again for the ride.”

Alice cocked her head to the side, resting her hands on her hips as she surveyed me. “You know all you have to do is ask.”

“For what?”

She threw a hand in the air, letting it fall with a soft thump against the side of her thigh. “For anything. A ride, a cup of sugar. A ride for your grandmother. Things like that.”

My heart twisted, a little sharply and a little sweetly in my chest as I looked up at this woman.
