Quinn’s eyes went wide with panic. He was one of the strongest men she knew, but tears were one of the few things that, without fail, sent him scurrying.
“Relax, Sheriff,” she teased. “I’ve been able to keep it under control.”
“I’m glad you think this is funny.” He squirmed in his chair. “Speaking of emotional disasters, how are things with Joe?”
She chuckled. “I wouldn’t necessarily call him an emotional disaster, per se. He’s more like...”
“A guy,” Quinn stated. “Hence, he’s an emotional disaster. Trust me on this.”
“Joe’s good,” she said with an eye roll. “He’s been busy with Cade and Gavin the last couple days. He’s made some suggestions for the new program and they’re tweaking some other things, so he’s pretty excited. ”
Quinn nodded. “That’s great and all, but you know that’s not what I’m talking about. How are the two of you doing?”
It was her turn to squirm.
Outside of work, she and Joe had been inseparable—in more ways than one—ever since the craziness on Sunday. The sex between them was still ridiculously hot, but they hadn’t talked more about their relationship. It was as if neither of them wanted to be the first one to bring it up again. She knew she didn’t. He’d already said he wanted to make it work between them, and she didn’t want to push her luck by beingthatgirl.
She doubted Quinn wanted to know any of that, though.
“We’re good. It was a little rocky at first, but one day at a time, right?” She shrugged. “I think it’s a bit different for both of us. Neither of us have ever dated anyone that we were friends with first.”
Quinn scoffed. “Uh, that would be the biggest understatement of the year. There’s friends, and then there’sus. Aside from the shit show of the last few years, we’re like the Three freaking Amigos.”
“That’s just it, Quinn,” she said, worry starting to roil in her gut. “What Joe and I are doing is risky. I think in the back of our heads, we’re both worried about messing up our friendship, not just with each other, but with you, too, you know? But...”
But they couldn’t help themselves. The attraction between them was explosive, their connection unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. It scared her. But high risk, high reward, right?
Joe had the ability to destroy her. Completely.
Roxie tended to play it safe with her heart. Except with him, she simply couldn’t.
“But the risk is worth it,” Quinn said quietly, a knowing look in his eyes.
Butterflies took wing in her stomach.
“Yeah.” Her heart pinged, and a small smile tilted her lips. “It’s worth it.”
CHAPTERTWENTY-SEVEN
Roxie threw her head back and moaned. With her hands braced on Joe’s chest, she rocked her hips harder, riding him. The friction, the pressure, had her seeing stars.
“That’s it, baby,” he murmured. His hands gripped her hips and worked her up and down his thick cock. She was teetering on the edge when he abruptly pulled out.
“No,” she groaned, eyes flying open. She’d been so close. But before she could protest further, he flipped her onto her hands and knees and pressed between her shoulder blades. She dropped her chest to the mattress. Tingles shot up her spine.Oh, fuck yes.
He pulled her hips up and slapped her ass. The crack of his palm was loud in the near-silent room. Her heart raced, and wetness flooded her pussy. She moaned his name as he slammed into her.
“You’re so fucking hot, baby,” he praised, his hands squeezing and molding her cheeks.
She clenched and throbbed around him as he pounded into her. Her thighs began to quiver.
“More, Joe. Harder,” she begged.
He pulled her upright, bringing her back to his chest as he continued to pump into her. His hand dipped to where their bodies met, and his fingers rubbed tight circles over her clit.
“Come for me, baby,” he growled in her ear. “Come all over me.”
Electricity shot through her body, and when he pinched her clit, she screamed. Detonated. He slammed into her pulsing center and groaned his own release.
