“It isn’t funny,” I snapped, feeling immensely stupid.
“No, you’re right, it isn’t. I’m just glad there’s finally a problem of yours I can fix.”
Uh-oh.
“I don’t think…” I started, but he kissed me again.
It was a great kiss and then it was all hands, mouth, teeth, tongue, both his and mine. It was delicious. It was almost even beautiful.
When his hand went between my legs again, he didn’t mess around with my underwear. He just dipped right in, his fingers pressing, hitting the perfect spot, and they began moving.
It didn’t take long. As I said, it’d been a long time, but he had talented fingers, strong and creative. I was breathing heavy against his mouth. I was holding on to him tight, and then it happened.
And it was glorious. Fucking unbelievable, and trust me, it was definitely worth the F-word. It was worth a thousand F-words.
After I finished, I opened my eyes and saw him watching me with a look that was both soft and satisfied, even though he’d gotten nothing out of it.
I didn’t have time to be embarrassed. He rolled over me and pulled me off the bed so we were standing at the side. His arms came around me and he pressed me deep into his body.
“Now, I’ll take you to work,” he stated, and he bent his head and touched his lips to mine. Then he let me go, turned and walked away.
I stood and watched him go.
He had a great behind. I’d been spending months appreciating it through his jeans, but now I could see that fact, especially as he was only wearing a pair of blue and white striped boxers.
By the way, Big Head Todd and the Monsters were still playing on the CD.

Eddie parkedbehind Fortnum’s and I got out of the truck. He did too, so I hurried forward but my sexy green sandals slowed me down. He caught up to me and grabbed my hand so we walked into the store, fingers laced together.
Indy, Ally and Tex were all behind the espresso counter and their heads came up when we entered. Indy and Ally took one look at Eddie and me and smiled. Tex scowled.
There was a line of customers ten deep, ready to give their orders.
“The cavalry arrives!” Tex boomed. “These two ain’t worth shit behind the counter. Get back here, Loopy Loo.”
I started to walk forward but Eddie’s hand tightened in mine and I turned around.
“I have to get to work,” I said for, like, the millionth time that day.
He closed in on me and replied, “Okay, but first, promise me you won’t go lookin’ for your dad.”
I thought about it then nodded. I decided that if I didn’t make my answer verbal then maybe it wasn’t a full-blown lie. More like half a lie or even a third of a lie, which wasn’t as bad. Was it?
He looked at me for a beat then turned toward the books and dragged me along behind him. He walked in two rows, turned left and stopped halfway down the aisle.
“Eddie, I have to help out. Did you see how many people were in line?”
He dropped my hand but then both of his went to where my shoulders met my neck.
“I’ve got something else to explain to you.”
Oh no, not this again.
I braced for impact.
“This morning, things changed,” he announced.
