He groaned. “I was trying to be romantic. I don’t have to.”

I squeezed his ass, then slapped one cheek hard enough he yelped. “Do it, Beck. Come on me.”

He worked his hips, rutting against me fast and desperate, breathing ragged, until he came with a shudder and I felt his cum spreading between our bodies.

“You claimed me this time,” I said into his ear as he quivered on top of me. “Now there’s no returning me to the store.”

He laughed. “Are you kidding? You were a bargain, putting out for free.”

“Hey, are you calling me easy?”

He lifted his head, a smile lingering around his lips. “None of this is easy, but it’s worth it.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, my heart expanding at the warmth in his eyes. “It really is.”

CHAPTER20

BECKETT

“You’re not wearing that,are you?”

I looked down at the date outfit I’d just put on, a dark green button-down with a metallic sheen and black jeans. “What? I thought I looked good in this.”

“Exactly,” Wes said, voice holding a hint of darkness. “Too good. That color brings out your eyes. Makes you fucking captivating. And that shirt is practically molded to your body. Do you really want to give Anna the wrong idea?”

I laughed. “Don’t be silly. She knows it’s not a real date.”

“She might change her mind.” He crowded me up against our bedroom door, putting his mouth by my ear. “Do you really want to look sexy for anyone but me?”

“Maybe it is for you,” I countered. “You’re going on this date too.”

“Mm, true.” Wes pressed a small kiss under my ear, then another on the corner of my mouth. Just as I leaned in to kiss him for real, he drew back with a smirk. “I guess you can wear it then, as long as you’re dressing like that for me.” He threw in a wink so I’d know he was kidding, though there was definitely an undercurrent of unease to his smile.

“Hey, same to you,” I said, gesturing toward him. Dressed in faded blue jeans and a dark Henley that clung to his shoulders and pecs, with a wide leather belt, he looked hot as fuck. The outfit was casual, in thatI don’t give a fucksort of way that only made him more attractive.

He scoffed. “What, this old thing? Don’t worry. It’s all for you, babe.”

His gaze met mine, heavy and intense, and I suppressed a shiver. That look got to me every time. I wanted to drop to my knees and rip open his jeans to prove to him that he was all I wanted. I forced a smile instead. “I hope this works.”

“It better.” He grabbed my jaw and finally pressed the hard kiss to my lips that I’d expected earlier. “I don’t like sharing.”

I cupped his jaw with my hand. “You’re not sharing anything but dinner with friends.”

He smiled sheepishly. “Right, I know. I’m not trying to be a weird possessive asshole. I hated when Janine got that way. This is just…”

“I know.”

We’d had so few opportunities for true intimacy, and with everything hanging over our heads, it had taken a while to fully acknowledge that our feelings weren’t going away. It felt wrong to go out and pretend to date other people, but what else could we do? Our relationship was secret, and it needed to stay that way—at least for a while. Maybe eventually…maybe when there was less at stake…

“Let’s get this over with,” Wes said, interrupting my thoughts. “Andi is with Colton again tonight, and I’ve got plans that don’t include Anna or Bobbi.”

Fuck me. Most likely, his plans were exactly that. I’d been longing for another night alone. Andi was working on her relationship with Colton, and she’d spent more time with him, but she wasn’t ready to move back in, she’d said. I was trying to be patient and understanding, but damn, now that I’d had Wes inside me, I was desperate for more.

I fumbled for the bedroom door and opened it to stumble into the hall before I was tempted to stand up Anna and Bobbi. “Let’s hurry, then.”

Wes grinned as he followed me into the hall.

We all met up at The Dinner Bell. Perhaps not the most chivalrous way to start a date, but Bobbi and Anna were independent women and Wes and me…well, to be completely honest, we were codependent men. So it worked for all of us.
