Almost.
So.
Very.
Close.
“Come,” he whispered.
My body exploded with obedience to his quietly uttered command. My pussy tightened around him, hugging his cock with rhythmic pulses. The orgasm swept through me, making my eyes roll back and my legs shake.
Just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore—and I’d simply collapse onto the floor—he grabbed my hair with one hand, held my hip with the other, and started to come.
He barely pulled out between thrusts, keeping his throbbing cock buried deep. The pressure sent me tumbling over the edge again, my almost-finished orgasm ramping up to new heights. He yanked on my hair as he unloaded into me—I’d never let anyone do that before—and the thrill of his aggression made me come even harder.
Eventually, he stopped, letting his cock slide out. I straightened and he loosened his grip on my hair. His fingers massaged my scalp while he wrapped his other arm around my waist, and I sagged against him.
He gently kissed my neck. I closed my eyes, catching my breath. Jude had just fucked me senseless in a closet and I’d never felt so alive.
We fixed our clothes as best we could in the small, dark space. My panties were ruined, my inner thighs wet, but I was too euphoric to care. Jude listened at the door for a moment, then we slipped out into the empty hallway.
He winked at me while he tucked my ripped panties into the inside pocket of his jacket.
“It’s obvious on me, isn’t it?” I asked, checking my dress to make sure it was all where it was supposed to be.
One corner of his mouth hooked in a grin. He ran his fingers through my hair and smoothed down the back. “Little bit.”
There wasn’t much I could do about it here. He placed a soft kiss on my lips, then took my hand and led me back to the stairwell. And despite everything else, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt this good.

The sheets stirred, sliding across my chest. I was awake in an instant, but it was just Cameron turning over in her sleep. The sky outside was still dark and I could just make out the curve of her body. Her soft hair falling across the pillow.
I ran my hand down her hip and over her fantastic ass. She stirred, making a sweet sound in her throat. The alarm would go off soon, but I hooked my arm around her waist and hauled her closer. Felt her warm body relax against me, her ass nuzzling against my groin.
That was really waking me up.
Life had taken some unexpected turns since the day Derek had asked me to do a favor for Emily’s friend. I’d been set on retiring. Never taking another security job. But thank fuck he’d talked me into it.
I was going to get to the bottom of everything—it was my job and failure wasn’t an option—but an unsettling thought lingered in the background. What came next?
What would I do when Cameron didn’t need me here twenty-four/seven? Would I go back to my place? Live alone again? See her in her off hours… if she still wanted to date me when I wasn’t shoved in her face all the time?
I’d lived alone for a long time. I was used to being on my own. My parents lived in Minnesota and once every couple of years I went out there to visit. But we’d never been a close family and they had their own life. I hadn’t been a big part of it since I’d left home at eighteen. Five years ago, I’d walked away from the CIA. Felt like I had to cut ties in order to move on.
And what did I have now? A couple of friends. A loft I’d never meant to keep. A second career I’d never meant to start. A life I couldn’t seem to figure out.
Until Cameron.
I breathed in the scent of her hair. Felt her curl up against me. I’d been searching for something since moving to Miami. Purpose. Direction. A new focus for my life. I hadn’t expected to find it in the form of a tall redhead with a sharp wit and a weakness for sexy shoes and key lime desserts.
But somehow, I had.
The alarm buzzed on the bedside table and Cameron stretched her long limbs. I rested my hand against her stomach while she took a deep breath. She glanced over her shoulder at me, her eyelashes fluttering.
“Morning.”
I kissed the tip of her nose. “Morning.”
This was
