“It really was.”

I wrap my arms around her, and she melts into my chest, letting me tighten my bear hug. Her soothing scent surrounds me. I love the Viktor & Rolf perfume she wears, but there’s an underlying natural Jordan fragrance that’s sexy and cozy. She lets out a sigh when I press my lips to her neck. I do it again, hoping for another noise, this time closer to her shoulder. The exhale is thick with longing. This woman holdssuch power over me.

“I want to kiss you,” she murmurs.

My tongue tucks into my cheek as I try to tamp down my smile. She’s just as affected by me, and I love it. Angling her chin, she twists in my arms, and I loosen my hold on her. Her trusting eyes gaze into mine before dropping to my mouth. Cupping her neck, I brush my lips over hers, and the breathy sighs are my tipping point.

With her hands planted on my shoulders, she rotates in my arms until she’s straddling me. I palm her ass and bring her closer. My tongue skates across hers, it’s sensual and charged. She’s overwhelming my senses. “He never deserved you,” I mutter against her mouth. The tang of salt hits my tongue, and I open my eyes to see a wet streak down her face. Someday soon I will get my hands on Bryan and make him pay for her tears.

My thumbs stray under her shirt and stroke her waist. She grips the hem and drags it over her head. I groan, noticing she’s wearing nothing underneath. My tongue trails down the column of her neck, and she rises to her knees to give me better access to her breasts.Goddamn.

I peel her cotton shorts and underwear down her thighs, and she lifts one knee at a time to let me slip them off her body. Once naked, I allow my hands to explore from her shoulders to her thighs. Her move. Jordan's lips dance with mine while she tugs at the joggers I’ve changed into, and my hard cock springs out.

“What do I deserve?” she whispers.

I deepen our kiss. She deserves far better than me, that’s for sure. I had no expectation of fucking tonight, but I’ll let her use me for whatever she needs in this moment. My palmsskim up the back of her thighs, over her ass, higher to her back and shoulders before traveling back down. My fingers knead between her cheeks and lower; she’s hot, wet, and trembling.

She moans when I nip her neck. I wrap an arm behind her lower back and use my other hand to explore between her legs. She’s already so wet, and I wonder how anyone could skip this foreplay. Her body is so receptive to every touch, hearing her sounds and feeling her shake are the greatest rewards.

My palm grinds against her clit as I stuff my fingers inside her. Her kiss is frenzied, and she moans against my mouth until she rips her lips away to breathe. Her arms wrap around my neck as I work her over.

“What do you want, Sunshine?”

“All of you.” Her voice cracks, and the sorrow in it destroys me.

I nod. “Spread those pretty thighs for me.”

I scoot forward and glide my cock through her folds until I’m coated with her, then wait at her entrance. I’ve never wanted to take away someone’s pain more than right now. Her jaw falls as she settles onto me.Jordan is a knockout.It takes two tries before she fits every inch of me inside her, and I can’t stifle the guttural sound that escapes my throat. Our bodies are made for each other.

My lips find hers again. Kissing is effortless, our mouths fit so well together, perfectly in sync. Grinding against me, she rocks, and my piercings ruggedly massage her from the inside. She settles hard on my lap as if there’s an itch she needs me to scratch. I love being inside her when she’s so greedy, but this grind isn’t doing it for her. Her adorable, frustrated whine causes me to grip her waist and bounce her on my cock.

“This how you need to be fucked, baby?”

She whimpers my name, and begs not to stop.

“Let go. You're safe with me.” I lock in on her dazzling brown eyes and jiggling thick thighs. “Goddamn, you look absolutely perfect.”

She gives me more of her weight as her muscles clench. My jaw tics as I focus on her. Her orgasm hits, and I fuck her through it, stealing every sweet sound with my lips, and claim my own release.

It’s not long before our panting slows, and her soft smile is a massive comfort. I slip away to the bathroom, returning with a washcloth for the cleanup. After, we each put our clothes back on in silence and return to the movie as if nothing happened.

Jordan snuggles into my arms again, but this time her scent is mixed with sex and me, and I like that even more. I kiss the top of her head as we continue the movie where we left off.

What happened tonight was simple, she had a need, and I took care of it. Because that’s what friends do.

Imove a load of clothes from the washer into the dryer and turn it on. For whatever reason, I stand there, staring at the clothes tumbling around behind the circular glass door. The hum of the dryer is comforting.

Today was supposed to be my wedding day. The day couldn’t be more perfect for a wedding. Blue skies and soft breeze on an unusually warm November day. When I walked outside this morning, the bright sun made the orange, red, and yellow leaves glow. However, the feeling inside me doesn’t fit what I imagined I’d feel walking down the aisle.Because today, I’m happy.

I’m also twenty-six years old. I never wanted to be married on my birthday. Looking back, I wonder if it was one more way for Bryan to take something that was mine and make it his.

This will be my best year yet. I can feel it. I’m living my life for me, doing what I want, when I want, how I want. I’m being reckless and irresponsible, and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had. All thanks to Cam. He’s shown me it’s okay to beselfish once in a while. I’m allowed to be the main character in my own life.

Camden Teller is misunderstood. People love his demeanor; they remember the things he does that fit the playboy narrative. They talk about all the fists he throws, but they forget to mention that the guy he was punching tried to go up against a much smaller player. They write about how much money he makes, how he’s one of the top paid players in the league, but they don’t say he gives away nearly half of that to charities and domestic violence survivors.

Yes, he takes home a lot of women, but he’s honest about it being a one-time thing from the start.I’ve been around a fair share of people praised for being “family men” only to watch them turn around and have an affair.
