“Oh.” She visibly relaxed in his arms.
He didn’t want to tell her the other reason was an interview he’d lined up on Monday. He slipped her shirt off and let it fall to the floor. “What about you?”
She looked up at him with a question in her eyes as she untucked his shirt.
“You going to go hang out with Logan this weekend?” He tried to ask it like a friend and not like the jealous lover he was.
“It’s going to be a busy weekend with errands. I didn’t do laundry last week. Or grocery shop.” She started unbuttoning his shirt. “I haven’t talked to Beth either.”
“Those won’t take all weekend.” He shrugged off his shirt as she helped push it off.
Her hands settled on his abs while his settled on her hips. Her eyes stayed down.
“Do you think I should go?” Her voice was soft.
He wanted to say no. He wanted to stay and spend all weekend making love to her, but that wasn’t his reality. “If you want to go.”
She looked up at him like he kicked her puppy. Was she hoping he’d say no?
“You might have fun,” he suggested, wanting to kick himself even as the words came out of his mouth. Why was he pressing this? Logan wasn’t right for her either.
Her gaze fell to her finger slowly drawing the outline of his muscles. “I’ll think about it.”
It shouldn’t have hurt, but it did. More reason to find a job away from Logan and Lacy. If he had to see them come out from the copy room like Lacy and Jonah had, it would kill him.
If he could even give her up.
She needed someone better than them both.
If she got with Logan, he couldn’t be here to see that.
“I wish you didn’t have to leave.” She pressed her cheek against his chest over his heart and her arms wrapped around his neck.
He slid his hands up to the clasp of her bra. “I’m here now.”
That was all he had to offer her. One night to show her the love he could never say out loud.

Lacy shiftedas she started to wake up. Tingles coursed through her restless body. She was warm all over and her breathing was erratic. Lips caressed across her abdomen, leaving sparks in their wake, and hands held her hips still as she tried to wiggle free. The morning light barely showed through the curtains.
“It’s too early,” she complained. Jonah’s deep chuckle rumbled next to her stomach, bringing a smile to Lacy’s lips. His touch was unrelenting. She relaxed into the sheets and enjoyed the morning wakeup.
Last night had been amazing. Even though it’d been late, Jonah had taken his time. It had almost been painful, knowing she loved him and he would be leaving soon. At least it was only for a weekend. She tried to push those thoughts away and just enjoy what he had to offer her.
However, given how late they were up and they didn’t have to be in the office until later this morning, she’d really hoped to sleep in. But if she had to be up and the wakeup choice was between the blender or this, this was definitely a better way to wake up, slow and easy.
Jonah settled lower and his tongue caressed her sex. He thrust his finger into her and she caught her breath as he took her higher again. She arched her back. So much for slow and easy. Her body was already primed and ready to go as she slipped over the edge into freefall.
As she caught her breath, Jonah moved up over her. His mouth claimed hers as he slid inside her. Still coming down from her orgasm, she barely even noticed him grabbing a condom.
His hips moved slowly and methodically. Heat built up within her as they found a rhythm together. She could feel herself getting closer as he trailed his mouth down her neck and sucked on the spot he’d already marked with a hickey last night. It was all she needed to tip right over the edge.
At her release, his lips curved into a smile against her neck, but he never slowed. He rose above her, hovering, as he continued to thrust. She held his gaze and cupped his cheek with her hand. Her legs wrapped around him as she stared up into his eyes. She loved this man. The words burned in her chest, longing to come out. He thrust in one last time and held still as he came. Ecstasy in his expression.
She wanted to cling onto him and never leave this moment. The two of them intimately connected and satiated. But she let him go as he rolled to her side. After taking care of the condom, he turned onto his side and looked down at her.
“Good morning,” he said as his hand trailed down her body.
