“So… is there a possibility we’ll do it again?”

I can’t hold back the grin. “Pretty sure we will. Especially since I need to redeem myself after that fiasco. Just so you know, I can go all night long.”

Her mouth curves as a laugh slips free. “Yeah, that was, um, really fast.”

I groan. “Can we not talk about it? If something like that were ever to get out, it would totally ruin my reputation.”

That only makes her laugh harder. “Just tell me this… Was I even in the room when it happened?”

“Barely.”

Now she’s really laughing, and, fuck, it’s nice to hear. Even if it’s at my expense. I’d make a total idiot out of myself every day if it meant seeing that expression on her face.

Damn. River was right. I really am in deep. And I still don’t give a shit.

“Sounds like I might need to go on a redemption tour.”

Tears leak from the corners of her eyes. “Is it like a world tour or more of a county fair circuit?”

“You’re hilarious, Hollywood.”

“What can I say? I try.”

She gasps when I pounce, rolling on top of her until she ends up flat on her back, staring up at me with wide eyes and a smile that makes my chest feel too damn full.

“Any chance your redemption tour starts right now?”

I brush a kiss against her mouth. “Yeah, it does.” I roll my hips against hers. “You good with that?”

“Depending on the outcome, I’d be more than willing to write a full retraction on your behalf.”

This woman.

So damn sassy.

And I love it.

Honestly, I love everything about her, and thinking that doesn’t freak me out the way it might have six months ago.

Since neither of us are wearing clothes, there’s nothing to stand in our way. She spreads her legs as the head of my cock nestles against her entrance. Already, she’s wet and waiting for me.

Fuck.

“Remember when I said I’d train your pussy to cry on command?” I drag the tip through her slick heat before pushing in just enough to make her squirm. “We’re already halfway there.”

Color rises in her cheeks. “Pretty smug for a man who went off like a shot less than twelve hours ago.”

I ease a little farther inside her body, taking my time, teasing out her pleasure. “That only happened because I’ve wanted you for years.”

She stills beneath me, her eyes searching mine. “Years?”

I slide all the way inside her before going perfectly still, letting her feel every thick inch that now belongs to her. “Years, Chey. Fucking years.”

“I would’ve never guessed.”

Yeah. That was kind of the point.

“It didn’t seem like a good idea at the time,” I rasp. “So I kept my distance. I buried my need, pretending it didn’t exist.”
