Page 81 of Joey

I brush her hair back from her face and cup her jaw, tilting her head so she’s looking up at me again. “I’m not being an ass because we both know it’s true. Just know it’s not a one-way thing. I’m gonna be hard all night having you next to me like this.”

“Won’t that be uncomfortable?” she whispers, and the sound of her voice goes straight to my cock.

I brush the pad of my thumb over her cheek. “I can deal with uncomfortable. Besides, I’m gonna be spending a whole lot of my life with your naked body pressed up against me, so I figure I might as well get used to it, right?”

Her eyelashes flutter as she blinks at me.

“So…” I tap her thigh. “Leg. On me. Now.”

“Yes, Sir,” she whispers seductively, like a fucking sex kitten, and I have to close my eyes and take a deep breath before I flip her onto her back and nail her to this goddamn bed. I need a good night’s sleep. Then, in the morning, I will fuck her six ways to Sunday.

I pull her closer and she drapes her leg over me like I asked, pressing her bare pussy against my hip. Then she rests her cheek on my chest again. “Let’s get some sleep, baby.”

“Hmm,” she murmurs.

I’m drifting off when I feel her hot tears on my skin. I brush her cheeks with my fingertips. “That’s not the kind of wet I wanted to feel, baby girl. What’s wrong?”

“I called you some horrible names, Max. I even thought—just for a second, I wished…” She chokes on a sob.

“Please don’t do this to yourself, Joey. It’s human nature. You were hurting.”

“But then when I thought about you out there all alone—that someone had you and was hurting you…” She sobs harder, as though she’s been holding it all together for days and is only now able to let it out.

“Joey.” I grind out the word because it kills me to see her torture herself like this.

“When Kristin told us you were missing, I thought my heart would shatter, but then when she said she was your girlfriend and she was having your baby—it hurt so much. I thought I was going to die.”

I hug her tighter. I hate that I caused her unnecessary pain. It hurts me more than I can stand that she thought for even a little while that I want anyone but her. “I’m sorry, baby.”

“But then when I thought I’d lost you…” She pauses and takes a deep breath. “I swore I would feel that level of pain every day of my life if you could just be okay.”

“I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere. Okay?”

Her hair brushes my cheek when she nods.

“Get some sleep, and we’ll talk tomorrow,” I mumble, losing the battle against keeping my eyes open.

“Okay. Night, Max.”

“G’night, baby.”

Warm pleasure rolls through me,making my eyelids flicker open. The covers are pulled back but she’s not lying next to me. Looking down, I see her beautiful lips wrapped around my cock, and fuck me if it’s not the hottest thing I ever saw.

“Good morning, baby girl,” I groan, my voice thick with sleep.

“Morning,” she mumbles, the word muffled by my cock in her mouth.

I thread my fingers through her hair. “Fuck, baby, this is the best wake-up call I’ve ever had.”

She breathes through her nose as she takes me all the way to the back of her throat, swirling her tongue over my shaft as she sucks.

I wonder how long she’s been working me over because I’m about ready to blow my load. I close my eyes to stave off my climax a little longer, but my horny little slut starts playing with my balls, squeezing gently and causing heat to sear down my spine.

“Joey,” I groan, rocking my hips toward her mouth and pushing her head down until she starts to gag, but she doesn’t stop.

I glance down at her again. Her eyes glisten with tears. “You remember to tap out or squeeze if it gets too much?”
