“Jesus fucking Christ, Beau, fucking mercy.”

I smirk. “What mercy do you speak of?”

With one hand, I unwrap the rope from his scrotum while I rip my towel away with the other. I lube myself quickly before shoving deep.

“Oh, fuck me!”

“Yes. That’s exactly what I'm doing, just as you asked.”

The rest of his words are lost as I ride him into the soft mattress until he’s nothing but a ragged bunch of frayed nerves. And when I come deep inside of him, he thanks me repeatedly, begging to do it again.

I smile. I do love my needy boy.

Chapter Seventeen

? Sakura ?

Nerves inundate me as I pull into the lot of the firehouse.

What version of Estrella will I meet today?

After Saturday night’s interaction, I haven’t a fucking clue. I never would have foreseen the caring, sweet version that wanted to make sure I was okay. When she called me her little hummingbird, my heart leaped in wonder while my brain was busy concocting all the scenarios where she’s mine and I’m hers.

I’m not sure which is dumber, my head or my heart.

So, all day Sunday and today, I talked myself down from the ledge. Just because she was nice, that doesn’t mean anything has changed. I’m sure as soon as I see her, she’ll turn tail and run from the room like she always does.

I’ve so thoroughly shut down every fantasy I’ve ever had about Estrella that by the time I trudge through the door, my heart is so heavy it’s difficult to put one foot in front of the other.

Unsurprisingly, I find my boss in the kitchen brewing her sludgy goo. What is surprising is that when she notices me, a big smile grows on her face. “There she is. How are you feeling, sweet girl?”

Goosebumps litter every inch of exposed skin. I glance around to make sure she’s talking to me.

When I’m certain we’re alone, I reply, “I’m fine.” I say it with the certainty of a mouse.

She studies me with concern. “Are you sure? I was so worried about you after Caleb took you home. He refused to give me your number, so I just had to take his word that you were doing okay.”

Wait.

What?

“You asked for my number?”

Her smile is so genuine, it ties my stomach in knots.

“I did. Maybe we should exchange them now. You know, just in case.”

Just in case?

“Like for work, or…”

She shrugs. “In case you ever need anything.”

And what if I need your mouth glued to mine?

Your hands mapping my body?

I clench my legs together and watch in a mixture of shock and pleasure as she takes notice. When her smokey gaze travels slowly up my body and lands on my face, my knees go weak as she slowly licks her bottom lip.
