I closed my eyes and focused on loosening my muscles, but it was his size more than my clamping down. “I’m trying.”
“You ready?”
“For what?”
“To get started.”
My eyes widened, and I craned my neck to look back at him once again.“We haven’t even started yet?”
Fox grinned. “You might want to hold on to the headboard.”
He might’ve smiled, but he hadn’t been joking. Fox started moving, and I reached up to hold on. His thrusts were fast and deep. My skin was on fire, slicked from sweat dripping down my back. My orgasm brewed like a hurricane forming, swirling and threatening to demolish everything in its path. The sound of our wet bodies—his front to my rear—smacking against each other had me in a pre-orgasmic haze. It was the most erotic thing I’d ever heard.
Fox cursed as his pummeling intensified. I wanted him to struggle, to feel as on the edge as I was. So I pushed back, meeting his ferocious thrusts one by one.
“Fuck, Josie!” He sounded like he was about to lose it, and it became my personal challenge to get him to come before me. I thought I might win, too—at least until he reached around and pressed on my clit. Without warning, my entire body burst into a symphony of fireworks—pulsing and shaking. I don’t know how long it went on, but it was enough to wipe me out. Behind me, Fox shuddered with a roar and then stilled.
I guess I didn’t win that challenge.
I collapsed to the bed under the weight of my own body. Fox was careful not to follow and crush me. Instead, he slid his mouth up my back and to my shoulder, finding his way to my neck. It was soothing, in direct contrast to what had just transpired.
He rolled onto the bed next to me and kissed my forehead. “You good?”
“Are my legs still attached, because I don’t feel them yet.”
He smiled and brushed a lock of hair from my face. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
I yawned. “I feel so sleepy.”
His thumb stroked my cheek. “Rest. I want you with me for slow and sweet, not drifting off somewhere else.”
“I’m just going to close my eyes for a few minutes.”
He grinned. “Sure you are.”
CHAPTER 20
Life’s a Gamble
Fox
“Get rid of the smile.”
I didn’t have to look at Opal to know she was sporting a shit-eating grin when I walked into the office on Monday morning. Hell, she probably got here at the ass crack of dawn to prepare the interrogation questions she’d been formulating since seeing Josie and me Friday night.
“It’s not a crime to smile,” she said.
“It is in my place of business. You don’t like it, don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.”
Undeterred, Opal crossed the office and parked herself on the corner of my desk.
“So…” She couldn’t contain it. A smile spread from ear to ear. “How was your weekend?”
I wasn’t about to let on that I’d spent three nights in a row in Josie’s bed. I wouldn’t even have come up for air this morning if we weren’t on deadline for this job. “Fine. What time is the electrical inspector getting here? And the alarm company too.”
“Nine and ten.” She checked out the paint job on her too-long claws. “Did you do anything special?”
I sat down at my desk and pulled open the top drawer without looking up. “You’re going to have to get your gossip somewhere else. I have shit to do, and my business is my business.”
