He licked into her core before running his hot tongue over her clit and sucking. Pippa’s orgasm ripped through her, pulling her apart and putting her back together all at once. She screamed until her voice was hoarse. Her chest heaved as his beard scratched against her sensitive flesh. She shivered. Her body floated, boneless and limp. Have I ever come that hard before?
Mason kissed her thighs before he unhooked her legs and slid her down to her feet. His arms were the only thing keeping her upright as she led him over to her bedroom.
The backs of her knees hit the mattress, and she collapsed onto the soft cushion. Mason pulled a comforter over her, leaned down, and kissed her again. Her taste melded with his, like she’d marked him. His beard scratched against her face.
He pulled back, his lips glistening, and his eyes half-lidded in lust. “I wish I had more to give you.”
Couldn’t he? “I’m okay with this.” She smirked. “Honesty is all I ask, so I can adjust my expectations. You’ve given me that.”
His brows drew together as if he wasn’t sure whether he believed her or not.
“What about you?” She motioned to his cock.
His face flushed pink for the first time since she’d known him. “I, uh, already came.” His eyes darted away. “It’s, uh, been a while.”
Wow. Was she the first since his wife had passed? No, surely not. That was more than a decade. And he was way too good with his tongue to have been out of practice that long.
“Thank you for the orgasm.”
His mouth turned up into a half smile. Her belly swirled with butterflies. She’d been the one to illicit that response in him.
“Trust me, it was my pleasure.”
“Maybe I can return the favor sometime.” She tried to sound nonchalant. He’d been clear he wasn’t looking for a relationship.
“I meant what I said. This is all I can offer. Aspen is my priority.”
“And I get that. We can be friends, can’t we?” She understood his daughter came first. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t have some fun on the side, right? “Friends that sometimes enjoy certain benefits?”
“You’d be content with that?” His gaze narrowed.
She shrugged, acting like it wasn’t a big deal. She’d had a few casual relationships before she moved to Shattered Cove. She’d always been the one to end them. Why would this be any different? “Absolutely.”
He swallowed and turned as Lady jumped on the bed, whining.
Pippa laughed. “Oops. We gave her quite the show.” Oh God, the bookstore. I hope no one heard me. Heat rose to her cheeks. She wasn’t usually so loud during sex.
“Want me to take her out before I leave?” he offered.
“Would you? I’m not sure how long it will be until I can feel my legs again.”
He smirked, his chest puffing out. “No problem. Come on, girl.”
Lady looked at Pippa, asking permission. “Go on, Lady.”
The dog jumped off the bed. “She has a leash by the door.”
Pippa admired Mason’s ass as he bent to clip the leash to her dog before he exited her apartment. Her chest twinged as he left. Mason was a complicated man. The way he cared for his daughter was just one more thing she loved about him.
Not that she loved him. No. She admired him. And hopefully, she’d get to see every inch of him and lick every delectable ab she remembered from the day at the beach.
That was all this was. Mutual lust and an arrangement to enjoy the benefits of being two consenting adults in a casual, sexually gratifying relationship.
So why did the niggle in the back of her head feel like a warning?
