I knew anything about Jude.
He pinned my thighs open and I closed my eyes, sinking into
ecstasy as his tongue pleasured me. When I was close, I reached out to grip his
head, shamelessly holding him close as I came.
The neighbors were going to have something to talk about at
this rate. But I didn’t care, my head spinning as he braced himself and plunged
inside me. He closed his eyes as he fucked me hard and fast, drawing my legs up
so they rested on his shoulders.
“Alanna—fuck, I needed this. I need you.”
“I need you too.” That ended in a gasp, and then all I could
do was moan. My eyes squeezed shut as the second orgasm took me, so hard on the
heels of the first one that I was completely drained by the time the
aftershocks quit happening.
Jude cried out my name, half-collapsing as he finished. His
weight was warm and welcome, and I held him close as he remained inside me.
Relaxing for the first time all day, I inhaled his smell—masculine, mixed with
the faint smell of leather and aftershave—and thanked my lucky stars he’d been
ballsy enough to get my address and come find me.
I sighed in contentment. If this were a quarter-life crisis,
it could last forever as far as I was concerned.
