She rolls her eyes. “Like you haven’t heard that a million times.” There’s a ripple of insecurity—of uncertainty—beneath the words that I can’t decide if I’m imagining or not.

“I haven’t fucked a million women.”

Another eye roll, and I sort of wish I’d said what I’m really thinking.

I can’t imagine fucking anyone, except you.

Once was supposed to get her out of my system.

Safe to say that didn’t happen.

I pull the condom out of my pocket and roll it on. Then thrust into her, groaning at the tight fit. The clench and the wetness tell me she’s as affected as I am. I fill her over and over again, responding to her begs of more.

I fuck her harder and deeper, and it never feels like enough.

She calls out my name—loudly—when she comes, and some caveman part of me hopes someone hears us. But the rest of me is aware that could have consequences neither of us wants. So, I kiss her again, silencing her cries and savoring how she’s pulsing around me. I keep thrusting, prolonging her high until I let go and find my own release. My cock pulses as her nails dig into my back.

I haven’t seen Jack since we first got here, but I’ve seen other guys checking her out.

And it’s pissed me off every damn time.

Even after we’ve both finished, I keep kissing her.

I’m not sure what to say to her. Where to go from here.

There’s too much I want to share and nothing that sounds right. I’m terrified that I’m misreading the secret smile she gives me before pulling away and fixing her dress. Her lips are swollen from my kisses, and her hair is messy from my hands.

She looks likemineagain, and I want her to be—more than I’ve ever wanted anything else.

Her life is in New York. Her job, her family, and her friends.

And I feel like I have absolutely nothing to offer her.

All I have is fame and money and a ranch in Texas, and none of those are things Piper wants.

“You ready?” she asks, nodding toward the door.

“Yep.” I force a smile, then follow her back inside.

I guess we aren’t talking about what just happened.

Again.

PIPER

Irefresh my work email while I’m eating lunch, more out of habit than anything else. Then experience an immediate sinking sensation in my stomach as a new unread message pops up.
