wanted to be with you.”

Now her shock made her scoot back on the bed. “What?”

Jack sat up and took her hands in his. Naked, he faced her across the bed, his expression more serious than she’d ever seen it. “Josie, don’t you know how long it’s been you?”

She shook her head, tears sparking at her eyes and burning in her throat. Jack lifted one hand to cup her cheek. She swiped at her face, embarrassed by her show of emotion.

“Why didn’t you say anything?” she asked.

“You were with Barry. And before that… Hell, Josie, you know me. I’d never wanted to get tied down before. I didn’t want you to think it was just part of The Game. I didn’t want to lose you.”

Josie blinked and looked at Jack’s face. His hand slid from her cheek to her shoulder. She put her hand on his arm to pull him closer.

They kissed, softly, then harder. He captured her neck with his hand and rocked her toward him. Josie splayed her hands on the bare heat of his chest.

This time, spurred by Jack’s admittance of how long it had been since he’d been with anyone, she took charge. Josie slid her tongue along the curve of his jaw, down his throat, to his shoulder. She pushed him back onto the pillows again then let her lips make a trail to the hard point of his nipple. Her tongue swirled around the tip, and she suckled lightly. Jack’s hips jerked, and she curled her fingers around his shaft again. Lightly, softly, she stroked his cock in time to the gentle sucking of his nipple.

He tangled his hand in her hair, loosening it from the ponytail. The strands fell across her face and shoulders, along the neckline of her borrowed tee shirt. Impatiently, Josie sat up to tug off the shirt then bent back to her task.

From one nipple to the other, she concentrated on pleasing him. After a moment, without ceasing her teasing strokes, she kissed the ridges of his six-pack abs. She followed the slightly jutting edge of his hipbone, and paused to sink her teeth into his skin just enough to make him mutter another curse. He pushed himself into her hand, urging for her to stroke him harder. She didn’t. She had Jack at her mercy now, and she wasn’t about to let him take control.

Josie left his hip and went down to the perfection of his ankle. She kissed it. Licked it. Let her mouth slide up the bulge of his calf, then to his knee. She kissed the top of his thigh and ran her tongue along it, all the while stroking him firmly, but slowly.

He strained upward into her hand, but she refused to quicken the pace. She relished the way the thin skin of his cock slipped beneath her fingers, and the heat it gave off. She stopped to toy gently with the head of his penis, finding the first slippery drops of pre-come and smoothing them down to lubricate him.

Her own hand slipped between her legs to caress her still-aroused clit. She didn’t stroke herself, afraid she’d send herself into another orgasm, but the light touch kept her close to the edge. She moved her hips against the cup of her palm, teasing herself as she teased him.

At last, she took pity on him. She didn’t bother with teasing anymore, simply lowered her mouth on his cock all the way to its root. Her lips enclosed him. She relaxed her throat to take him in all the way, and his low oath of surprise was worth the effort.

Jack’s cock nudged the back of her throat and she slid out, adding a little extra suction at the tip. Josie had never been fond of monstrous cocks with veins and ugly purple heads. Jack’s penis was as lovely and perfect as the rest of his body—large, but not grotesque. She slid her mouth again along his entire length, her saliva leaving a glistening trail.

She added the use of her hand at the base of his erection. She sucked and stroked in tandem. Josie moved between Jack’s legs to give herself better access to his balls, which she stroked with her other hand. She stroked her thumb down the small ridge of flesh on the underside of his testicles, then found the smooth spot at the base of his scrotum. She pressed gently, in counterpoint to sliding him in and out of her mouth. As she did, he
