This was happening. This was really happening.

I watched as he slid his tip along my opening, my eyes widening at the sight. Then I tightened my legs around him, nudging him toward me. When I lifted my head and met his eyes, he was staring right at me, his lids heavy with desire. No doubt he was turned on by the way I was watching our two bodies come together.

“Now,” I breathed, pulling him deeper inside me.

Our mouths met as our bodies fused. It hurt, but I knew we just had to push past it. I continued to urge him toward me every time he started to withdraw, and soon, I had to pull away from the kiss. What he was doing made it harder to catch my breath, and I needed to breathe.

I was aware of everything all at once. The feel of him inside me, my nipples brushing against the hard wall of his chest every time he moved… I gripped his arms, holding onto him like he was my lifeline.

When I finally pulled back a little and glimpsed his face, that was all it took to send me over the edge. His eyes were closed, his jaw clenched. He was holding on with everything he had. He wanted to make sure I came first.

I had to close my eyes as the waves overtook me—a feeling more intense than anything I’d ever known. It couldn’t even compare to what I’d felt earlier when his fingers brought me to orgasm. As his thrusts increased in speed and he cried out, I understood. The difference was this connectedness I felt. We were becoming one.

I just hoped when this was over, Jonah McStay wouldn’t break my heart.

JONAH

There was something very intimate about the way Taylor and I helped each other get dressed to go back downstairs. She smoothed out some of the wrinkles on my shirt, and I helped zip her up and rubbed the lipstick off her chin.

In the end, we both had to stop by the separate restrooms on my floor before climbing onto the elevator to head downstairs. I couldn’t stop touching her. If I wasn’t holding her hand, I had my hand on her back, guiding her into the party. I didn’t want to lose this connection to her, even for a second.

“I’ll go grab my coat,” she said, separating from me just inside the door. The plan was to stop by to say hi to the host and head back to my place, where we’d pick up where we ended things upstairs.

“Jonah!” Reed called out, walking toward me. “I haven’t gotten a chance to talk to you. I saw you earlier, but you disappeared.”

“I had to step out for a second,” I said as Reed and I did the usual clap on the back in greeting. “How’s it going?”

Reed launched into a story about a deal he was working on, and I tried to focus on what he was saying. All I could think about was Taylor and what had just happened upstairs. If Reed noticed something was off about me, though, he didn’t show it.

Suddenly, Reed stepped back and looked to his left. “Have you met my daughter, Harley?”

In that direction was Taylor, returning with her coat looped over her arm. She had a strange look on her face. There was a woman walking next to her. I recognized her as Reed’s daughter…and Taylor’s friend.

“I can take her home,” Harley said, staring directly at me.

There was something accusatory in her tone. I didn’t like it. I would never do anything to hurt this woman.

But I couldn’t fault her friend for protecting her. In fact, I’d want her to look out for Taylor. I cared about her.

I might even be falling in love with her.

“Right now?” Reed asked, looking from Harley to Taylor as though trying to make sense of it. “I have a few people I want to introduce you to.”

“It’s okay,” Taylor said.

Harley’s eyes widened slightly as she stared her dad down. “I’ll be back…maybe. This is more important.”

“Seriously, it’s fine,” Taylor said. “I’ll just take a rideshare. All three of you stay here.”

I opened my mouth to protest, but what was I going to say? If she wanted to leave, I had no right to stop her. It would be wrong to try to stop her.

But how could I just let her run out of my life without knowing exactly what I’d done to chase her off?

“No,” Harley said. “I’m taking—”

But it was too late. Taylor was speeding out the door, not waiting for her friend. She didn’t even toss a glance in my direction. I’d apparently done something to upset her, and I couldn’t even ask her what it was.
