“You didn’t ask me to help you move.”

“Move what? My one suitcase?”

“So, you’re staying?”

“I’m staying.” Jade takes her time putting the pot back on the coffee stand, hesitating a little while longer before she finally says, “You don’t need to worry about him, okay?”

“Jade—”

“I’m serious. Mom certainly loves to get in a pettyI told you sowhenever she gets the chance. But you know what she loves more than being right?” Jade smirks. “Revenge.”

I scrub a hand over my face, wondering if I’ve let my focus slide too much when it comes to my family. I hoped Mom and Jade would eventually make up, but I didn’t expect them to start conspiring together. “Do I want to know?”

“We’re not Good-bye Earl-ing his ass,” Jade says with an eye roll.

“What the—”

“She has a lawyer friend notorious for taking shitbags like him to the cleaners. Hell, I might even get to open that bookstore I’ve always wanted when I get my settlement. Don’t worry about me.” She gives a little nod over her shoulder toward the back office. “Worry aboutyoufor a change.”

I leave my coffee and show myself to the back.

Aurora’s on the phone, elbows leaned on the desk, chair swiveling back and forth. A navy blue binder with the wordsGrocery Ordersits beside the keyboard, unopened. I listen to her rattle off a list of ingredients and amounts as though she’s memorized them.

Not for the first time, I wonder if she has a photographic memory. Which makes this whole notion of people treating her like she’s some clumsy, clueless girl all the more frustrating. I’ve always known there’s something special about her, and the proof keeps presenting itself in spades. How does no one else see what I see?

I step up behind her chair and knead my fingers into her shoulders. She melts into my touch and leans her head back, resting it right against my crotch. It takes less than three seconds to go fully hard. I’m fucking thankful my sister moved out last night. The thought of her coming home after her shift tonight would only dampen my plans to keep Aurora naked past dinnertime.

I shift us so that my back is to the cracked door and slip a hand down her shirt. We were in such a rush last night that I didn’t get to give the girls the attention they deserved. Aurora struggles to speak as I rub a nipple until it pebbles. I push down the fabric of her sweater and bra until her nipple is exposed.

Her eyes fall closed. “Um, yes. That’s right. Sixteen pounds of Colby jack cheese. Shredded.”

I lean down and lift her nipple into my mouth, teasing it with my tongue.

“Nope, that’s everything,” she practically squeaks into the phone. “I’ll see you tomorrow at seven-thirty.” Aurora practically slams the phone into the receiver. “You’re making me sowet,” she whispers.

“You’re going to be wet all day, Gray. All fucking day.”

CHAPTER14

Garrett

Iwaste no time stripping Aurora down at the foot of my bed. Once I’m naked too, I stand back, admiring her naked, curvaceous body. I’ve fantasized all summer long about the stunning woman hiding beneath her clothes. The reality blows my damn mind. How did I ever get so lucky that this beautiful woman standing before me is just as hot and bothered for me as I am for her?

“Fuck, you’re gorgeous Aurora.”

“Say that to all the girls you strip search, Chief?” The corner of her mouth is tipped up in a wicked grin. A flash of me bending her over the bed and searching her pussy with my cock plays out.Soon. But first, I’m taking my time.

I close the distance between us, wrapping my arm around her back to tug her close. “There are no other girls, Gray. You’re the only one I want.”

Her silky fingers slip around my hard shaft and give it a squeeze. “Okay, I think you’re telling the truth.”

I back her up against the bed and prop one of her legs on the mattress, opening her up for me. As I capture her lips, I reach between her legs and slide my fingers through her sopping wet folds. She’s so fuckingsoaked. I take my time exploring her pussy, trying different strokes and pressures to see what turns her on most. It’s a fucking hard task with her hand still wrapped around my cock, gently stroking.

“I want you inside me,” Aurora purrs, those beautiful eyes drenched with desire. She tugs my cock to her, brushing my swollen head against the inside of her thigh. Another couple inches and I’d be sliding through those folds. “Please?”

“I’m not rushing a thing today, Gray.”

“You think we’re only doing this once?” she teases.
