Her breath goes ragged. I can feel the heat of her body drawing closer to mine.

And then she very deliberately drops a kiss at that sensitive point where my neck meets my shoulder. It’s heaven and hell and everything I crave.

I last about five seconds before I turn and lunge, pinning her to the bed beneath me. I find her soft, soft lips and kiss her like it’s what I was made for.

And who knows, maybe it is.

I think I could spend a lifetime kissing Violet.

When I come up for air, I say, “Are you sure? You said—”

“I’m sure,” Violet interrupts. She smiles up at me, eager and nervous. “You’re the one who said it doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s just sex and friendship, right?”

“Sex and friendship,” I agree. “Nothing else.”

I sit up just enough to strip the jersey off her and toss it aside.

“What happened to your fantasy?” Violet laughs, breathless.

“We’ll do it tomorrow,” I promise, as I yank her leggings off and toss those aside too, so she’s only wearing a bra and panties. They’re both barely there lacy things that make my mouth water.

I crawl back over her, caging her beneath me. Remembering everything she told me, I stretch her arms above her head, using one hand to capture her wrists, while I use the other one to stroke her clit, and then slip inside her. Keeping her pleasured and helpless, just the way she likes.

When she’s on the verge of coming, I pull back.

“Gage,” she begs.

“Hold on, sweetheart,” I say. “Hold on.” I get rid of my pajamas and her panties, and a second later I’m buried in her the way we both need. I tangle my hands in her hair and tug as I thrust into her. She arches and makes sounds that aren’t entirely human.

“You like that?” I mutter. “You like getting me hard? Making me need you?”

She moans something that sounds likeyesandpleaseandmore, and I’m happy to give her all those things. I fuck her until I’m out of control and delirious with how good she makes me feel. How good I can make her feel.

“Oh God, Gage,” she moans, and I nearly come right there.

I frame her face and kiss her. I love that it’s Violet under me. Violet who’s burning up with a fever only I can quench.

“I’m here,” I say against her lips. “I’ve got you. I’m going to give you everything you need.”

I shift just enough that I can slip a hand between us and play with her clit as I rock into her. She jerks and cries out against my mouth.

I’m pretty sure I’ll carry that sound with me until the day I die.

And then she’s clenching around me and arching against me and coming apart in my arms.

I think it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

For a second, I have a vague idea about trying to figure out a way to make our fake engagement last longer. Because there’s no way I’m going to be done with this in five months.

And then my own orgasm rushes through me, hard and unstoppable, and I can’t think of anything at all.

I fall asleep in Violet’s bed, her steady breathing the best lullaby I’ve ever heard.

VIOLET

I’m sitting at my desk, shooting the breeze with Peggy while Gage is upstairs meeting with Lorelei.
