“Wasteful?”

“Wasteful of time. I’ve got all this shit to do and instead of executing, I’m being a coward. I’ve been thinking I’ve been locked in an unfavorable situation I had no control over.”

“You ‘on’t think that no more?”

I shook my head then I lifted to stand on my knees, too, placing one arm around his still damp frame while using the other to reach for the box of condoms. “I’ve got the most important tools known to man.” I brought the box behind his neck and began unraveling it. Jas’ face contorted with confusion. “I’ve got my life, good health, and freedom. I can do anything.Anything,” I emphasized, rubbing my belly against his veiny stiffness. Jas was hot and gloriously engorged. “And speaking of the rodeo…”

When he caught on, the muscles in his face immediately dropped. Jas’ eyes bounced between mine attentively. “You something else, ain’t you?” he whispered in awe, it felt.

My brows plucked. “Say less. We’re wasting time with words. I told you I’d feed you. You’ve eaten twice.” I kissed his Shi-stained lips. “Now, you need to work through this box of condoms, and then maybe I’ll treat you to lunch.”

Jas grunted, taking me at the ass. “Youaresomething else.”

Smoothly, he flipped me into the air and once again, I landed in a position of his choosing, allowing him to ravish me.

“That was amazing.” I hummed a sigh of satisfaction.

Jas kissed my forehead. “You’re amazing.”

I thought about that for a second then peered up to him. “I feel amazing. Today’s been an amazing day.”

His eyes lit ablaze. “And you wanted to share it with me?”

Biting my lip, I nodded. “In both ways.”

“What do you mean?”

I pulled in air, filling my lungs before announcing, “My dad’s signing the merger deal with Dan Lewinski.”

“Word? He decided?”

“Mmmhmm. But that’s not it.” I fingered through the hairs of his chest. “He officially returned to the office this week.”

“Whoa,” his tone sensitively soft.

I nodded. “Yup. Today was day two of his return. He even asked for time in his office, which pushed me out.” I shrugged. “It’s all good, though.”

“What brought all of this about?”

“I spoke with him last week. I finally put my foot down and told him, I’m pursuing my dreams…thanks to a certain special person—I didn’t say all that. Just the part about pursuing my dreams with the club.” I laughed.

“Oh, I know you ain’t say all that.” Jas caught my humor. “But, man,” his tone still intimately low. “That’s golden. I’m proud of you.” He kissed my forehead again and heat blossomed in my chest.

“Thanks. I’m proud of me, too.” I struggled with my cheesy smile. Jas’ chest and abs vibrated as he chuckled. “I know! I feel like just when I thought I knew who I was, here comes this weird ass felon flying to my therapist, making me re-measure my self-confidence. I’d been learning about my insecurities, but didn’t know my thoughts of my own power had been compromised, too.”

“You been kickin’ it about that in therapy lately?”

I lay on his chest and nodded. “She’s been pulling it out of me. I thought I’d been doing great at managing imperfect parents, but instead I’ve been aiding and abetting.”

“Both?” he asked just above a whisper over my head.

“Yup.”

“Didn’t your moms say she’s coming to visit?”

I lifted to peer at him again. “That’s another reason I wanted you alone today.” His brows met adorably. “I want you to come with me.”

“Come with you where?”
