I give her a lopsided grin. “What can I say? I’m all about equal opportunity.”

She smiles in return before she brings my cock into her mouth, and I lose the ability to speak. Her tongue is warm and playful, sucking and licking at the right moments and places. I reach for her hair, needing to touch her. “You suck me so well, babe.”

As if my comment spurs her on, she pushes my cock deeper inside her mouth until it hits the back of her throat. I let my head roll back and groan as the sensations keep getting better and better. “That’s it, gorgeous. Keep doing that.”

Her fingers join the party, and she works me like she knows exactly what drives me wild. It takes me a moment to realize she has the knowledge. Duh, Keanu, she’s been in your body, feeling what you do.

I picture Leigh, jerking me off in the shower. That’s when my self-control snaps, and the orgasm hits me like a tsunami of epic proportions. “Fuck!”

Leigh keeps up the pace even when I fist a chunk of her hair, pulling it a little. She laps up every single drop that I give her, and it takes a moment for me to stop shaking. After a while, I finally relax against the couch with my eyes closed, completely content and satiated.

The blissful state only lasts another minute before I zap back into her body. It’s not as disappointing as the first time, probably because I was expecting it to happen. “So this is what jizz tastes like,” I say.

“You’re not disgusted by it?” She zips up her pants, putting my cock out of sight.

“Not really. I mean, I have no desire to suck another man’s cock, but I’m okay with my flavor.”

She laughs softly. “The fact that I’m amused by your comment shows how far we’ve come. Thank you, though. It was nice to be in my body, even if it was only for…” She furrows her brows. “What time is it?”

I’m not wearing a watch, so I jump to my feet and look for my phone. A new alert pops up on my screen. It’s a text from… fuck, my father’s assistant. I completely forgot that I was supposed to have dinner with him tonight. That means it’s also Simon’s birthday. Man, getting stuck in Leigh’s body totally gave me a case of time blindness.

“What’s wrong?” Leigh asks from the couch.

“My father is in town, and I’m supposed to have dinner with him.”

Her face pales. “Crap on toast. You’re coming with me, right?”

“Of course. I’d already told his assistant that you’d be coming, but it slipped my mind that it was today.”

She exhales, clearly relieved. It doesn’t surprise me that she’s not worried about dinner. She doesn’t know what a jackass my father truly is.

Hell. I hope she doesn’t find out.

30 LEIGH

Ihaven’t seen Keanu’s father since high school graduation. Even though we were neighbors, most of my interactions were with Keanu’s mother. I hardly ever saw the man; he worked a lot and was rarely home.

Keanu is tense on the way to the restaurant. He’s driving since I can’t while recovering from the injury. “You’re not happy about dinner with your father, are you?”

“No. We have a difficult relationship.”

“How so? I thought you could do no wrong in his eyes.”

He peels his attention off the road briefly to look at me. “Where did you get that idea?”

“Uh… I don’t know. He sponsored your hockey team, didn’t he? And the few times he talked with my folks, he always had nice things to say about you.”

He laughs with derision. “It’s all part of his good-guy image. He didn’t give a shit about me. He loved to criticize me at every turn when no one was around to hear it.”

“I’m sorry. I had no idea he wasn’t a good father to you. Mia idolized him.”

He sighs. “Yes. He treated her like a princess. I was the only one who ever saw his cruelty.”

Hearing the hurt in Keanu’s voice makes my throat tighten and my eyes burn. All this time, I had no clue. “Does he still treat you like crap?”

“He tries, but I’m not a kid anymore or dependent on him financially.”

“Key, if he’s still awful to you, why do you tolerate him?”
