If only I’d said yes, I could have avoided all of the trauma…and ended up where I am now.
In bed with Ben snoring softly next to me.
In bed with the man I love.
Chapter Forty-Six
Ben
Waking up next to Tessa Logan feels all kinds of right.
I sneak out of bed as the light streams into her bedroom and illuminates her luscious body. I grab another condom out of my jeans, return to bed, and spoon up against her, my cock hard as a rock.
“Baby…” I whisper.
“Mmm…” she softly moans.
I kiss the soft flesh of her tan shoulder, ease my cock between her ass cheeks. “This okay?” I ask.
“More than okay,” she murmurs.
I slide into her pussy.
This is how I should have made love to her last night—slowly, sweetly, taking all the time to see to her pleasure before I took my own.
But last night…
Yesterday…
No.
Won’t think about that now. Won’t let any of that taint my time with my girl.
Because sheismy girl.
I’m in love with her. She’s not ready for it, and neither am I. But I fucking love her with every bit of my heart and soul.
“Feels good,” she mumbles.
“God, does it.” I slide out and in again, relishing how perfectly she gloves my cock.
“Don’t we both have to go to work this morning?” she asks.
“I’m the boss.”
“You’re notmyboss.”
“I’m your boss’s boss.” I pulse into her, releasing with a grunt.
I stay inside her until she moves away and turns to face me. “I’m not going to play that game. I’m not going to be the employee who’s fucking the boss and gets away with everything. You’ll get a full day’s work from me every day, Ben. I swear it.”
“Easy.” I move her gorgeous dark hair off her forehead. “I’m kidding. But there’s plenty of time. Plenty of time for me to take care of you, too.”
She squirms out of my arms and off the bed. “You took plenty good care of me last night. But if I don’t get moving, I’m going to be late for work.”
“Okay, okay.”
“And you need to get ready, too. Anyone who has to miss taking me to the zoo on a Sunday afternoon is obviously swamped, so get moving.”
