in the eye this time. She thought she saw something, almost like defeat. She knew she had caused that, but now, she was not in the right frame of mind to deal with it. Instead, she reverted back to what she knew.

Reaching up to the top of the electric-blue tube dress, she slowly peeled it down, revealing a blue strapless bra. Now, she had his attention.

“Well, maybe you could stay for this.”

Keeping her eyes on him the whole time, she continued to push the dress down, wiggling it past her hips until it fell to the floor. Stepping out of the fabric, she turned on the ball of her foot and made her way down the hall. Just before she disappeared into her bedroom, she looked over her shoulder at him.

“Either lock the door on your way out, or lock it and come to bed.”

Josh watched in quiet disbelief as Shelly turned and walked into what he presumed was her bedroom.

The woman is driving me in-fucking-sane. Had she really just stood there and stripped down to the sexiest blue lingerie he’d ever seen in his life and then invited him to bed?

What the fuck is going on? Just this afternoon, she had told him to get lost.

Turning, he made his way to the door, determined to walk right through it and leave, but apparently, his hard-on and his goddamn heart had different ideas.

Locking the door, he rested his forehead against it and took a deep breath. He could do this. Just go in there, keep my heart out of it, tear up the sheets with her, and walk away.

Yes, he could do this.

Determined to prove himself right, he turned and made his way down to her bedroom.

However, what he saw when he got there almost blew his mind. She had turned on a side lamp and made her way onto her large plush bed. Somewhere along the way, she had stripped off the last two remaining pieces of lace, leaving them haphazardly on the floor. Looking at him from beneath her wickedly long eyelashes, she was centered on a crazy-looking comforter, lounging back against the pillows.

She is too fucking enticing.

“Good decision. You just going to stand there?”

Josh finally kicked his ass in gear and made his way into the room.

Her décor was insane.

Pink, white, and black everywhere, but he didn’t give a shit about that at this moment. He walked toward the end of the bed, staring at her in all her perfect naked glory.

“If we do this, you keep quiet, and we do this my way,” he told her.

He watched as one side of her mouth tilted up while her eyes dilated. He couldn’t be sure if that was a result of alcohol or desire, but if he had to guess, he would have thought it was a bit of both.

“Ohhhh. Want to gag and blindfold me, too?”

Trying not to laugh at her sassy mouth, Josh stripped off his boxers, which were doing nothing but constricting him, and then he whipped off his shirt over his head.

He took an inordinate amount of pleasure at the way her eyes zeroed in on his cock as her mouth parted. She lifted her right hand and moved it down between her thighs, pressing it firmly against her bare mound.

Oh no, none of that tonight, Josh thought.

Then, he moved up and over her like a panther on the prowl.

“Move your hand, Georgia. It’s not needed down there tonight,” he told her, watching as she slowly removed her hand.

When he was finally settled above her, he lowered his mouth to her lips and instructed, “Open your legs.”

Her eyes slid closed, and he felt her shift, those beautiful legs of hers parting at his command. Settling his weight down between them, he rubbed his rock-hard erection up against her wet lips.

“Hmm,” he groaned as he bit her lip. “You were so ready to just throw this all away, weren’t you, Georgia?”

Her eyes snapped open. When he saw she was going to say something, he decided that he didn’t want to hear it.

So, Josh took her mouth in a tempestuous kiss.

Shelly thought she must have died and gone to heaven.

After she had climbed into bed, she was sure she had heard her door open, shut, and then lock. But now, here was Josh—lying above her, settling between her thighs, and pressing all those rock-hard muscles against her.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she arched her breasts up to rub against his chest. She heard a rumble
