One More Step - Colleen Hoover Page 0,207

Ahh! Thank you, Officer. We’ll be down soon.”

Avery drops my phone to the ground and reaches into the front pocket of her purse. Pulling out a square foil packet, she rips it open with her teeth and hands a condom back to me. When she glances at me over her shoulder, a curtain of auburn hair frames her disarmingly beautiful face, and the expression I see there isn’t the one I expect. It’s not manic or manipulative or carnal or even regretful. It’s simply open and honest. Hopeful and…happy.

And for the first time in years, I feel the same way.

I sheath myself, but I don’t fuck her. Not like this. I sit back on my heels, cock at full attention, and wait for her to come to me.

When she looks over her shoulder again, Avery’s smile fills me with joy. Shimmying out of her ruined panties, my favorite ex-client pads over to me on bare feet and straddles my lap with her dress up around her waist.

I claim her mouth as she sinks down onto me, reveling in the feeling of this woman in my arms.

“I really am in love with you,” she murmurs, thrusting her hands into my disheveled hair.

I guide her body up and down my shaft, filling her with every single inch of me. I don’t tell her I’m in love with her too—I make her feel it.

I’m sick of words.

Of vows.

Of oaths.

Of self-restraint.

I want to be wild. I want to be free. And as much as I’ve tried to deny it, I want this crazy fucking woman.

“Sterling,” she breathes against my mouth. The sound of my first name on her parted lips has me twisting her hair around my fist and clutching her to me even tighter. “Sterling…I…”

Avery buries her face in my neck as her legs begin to shake and her breaths turn into whimpers and her body milks my cock until I finally let go too. My muscles flex violently as all of my stress, my repressed needs, and my pent-up frustrations pour out of me in hot spurts of pure, unbridled pleasure.

Once I regain the use of my limbs, I release her tangled hair, smoothing a hand over it as I whisper her name in a hushed, loving tone. “Avery…”

Pulling away from me—just far enough to give me an unhinged sideways glance—the redhead on my lap grabs my jaw and snaps, “I told you not to call me that.”

I swallow, questioning everything I just deduced about her mental state, but when her sex-swollen lips curl up on one side in a mischievous grin, it sets my mind and heart at ease.

“Call me…Mrs. Keaton.”

ABOUT THE BB EASTON

BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. She recently quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken is suuuper excited about that.

BB’s memoir, 44 Chapters About 4 Men, and the spin-off 44 Chapters novels are being adapted into a steamy, female-centered dramedy series for Netflix called Sex/Life. Coming late 2020.

The Rain Trilogy is her first work of fiction. The idea, fittingly, came to her in a dream.

If that sounds like the kind of person you want to go around being friends with, then by all means, feel free to drop her a line. You can find her procrastinating at all of the following places:
