whisper.

"Only in the dead of night," he replied. "When no one else can touch how I feel. And really, what I miss is who he was. Who I was. And you and the others too. I miss it being the five of us and the world seeming a whole lot brighter than it does these days."

I woke to a solid dick driving into my ass, a mouth pressed to my neck and a hard, warm body pressed up against me in the most delicious way.

JJ was breathing heavily, the almond scent of him surrounding me and the weight of his arm laying over me making the shadows which normally pressed close to me in the mornings back off for once.

I made a noise that was supposed to be some form of good morning but came out like a moan of pleasure. Maybe it was a moan of pleasure though, because JJ's bed was really freaking comfortable and being held in his arms left me feeling kind of...safe.

The noise seemed to rouse him and he flexed his fingers, drawing my attention to the fact that he'd slipped them beneath the waistband of my sweats, his hand seriously close to crossing that line we kept flirting with.

"Johnny James, get your damn hand out of my pants or I'm gonna kick your ass," I growled.

"Mmmm, that sounds fun. Or we could see how much fun it would be if I dropped my hand an inch or two lower..."

I sucked on my bottom lip, glad he couldn't see me or how tempted I was by that offer. Sometimes it was seriously hard to remember all the reasons I didn't want this asshole doing anything like that to me.

"I don't think you could handle me, JJ," I teased, wriggling a little just to make his dick ache as it ground against my ass.

"Don't challenge me, pretty girl, fucking is my speciality. I can make you come like no man you've ever known," he growled in my ear, making the hairs raise along the back of my neck. I laughed in what was intended to be a derisive way but it came out more like a freaking giggle and I died a little inside as JJ pushed his fingers a bit lower, taking the noise as encouragement.

“J…”

“I’ve never slept with a girl in my bed,” he murmured. “You popped my cherry, Rogue.”

“You’ve never had a sleepover with any of the girls you’ve fucked?” I asked dubiously as he shifted his fingers lower again and I had to try and remember that I was supposed to be telling him to stop.

“They don’t want to pay my hourly rate for cuddles, silly,” he teased. “Once I’ve made them come a few times I pack up my shit and go. But now I’m thinking I’ve been missing something. Although I get the impression this just feels so good because it’s you…”

“Johnny,” I breathed but my resolve was starting to shatter and I was shifting to part my thighs for him even though I hadn’t really decided to yet. But this just felt so-

"For the love of fuck, she's gone again!" Fox roared from the hallway outside and I gasped in alarm as JJ yanked me close and threw the covers over my head half a second before the sound of the door crashing open filled the room.

"What the fuck, Fox?" JJ snarled, sounding all sleepy and angry and cute as shit as he crushed me against him and hid me from view with his dick driving into my ass.

"Rogue," Fox growled. "She's not in her fucking room. I swear if she's hanging out with those losers at the beach again-"

"Isn't that her dog?" JJ asked and true to his nature as the most badass dog in town, Mutt was barking somewhere downstairs. "She wouldn't have run off without him so she must still be here. You'd better go let him outside before he shits in the potted palms again."

Fox swore and stomped away down the corridor, his footsteps retreating as I released my breath and started laughing, a rush of adrenaline surging through my veins.

JJ whipped the covers back off of me and grinned down at me conspiratorially.

"You wanna see if I can make you come before he comes back to look again?" JJ whispered.

"Oh my god, J, no," I laughed, rolling towards him and slapping his arm to tell him off.

JJ caught my wrist and pinned it to the pillow above my head, leaning down towards me and
