“I have to say…” he started.

I sipped on my wine. “What’s that?”

His finger traced down my cheek, making its slow, tortuous way down my body until he fingered the strap on my dress. He smirked, and I felt it go all the way down to my core. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, “I think this would look way better on my floor.”

I should have been shocked, but since this was TJ, I wasn’t. Rox had clued me in on how he liked to ‘hit it and quit it’ and assured me that I was better off without my heart broken. That was the thing Rox didn’t know, though; my heart had already broken, so it didn’t matter. I was used to men taking what they wanted from me and tossing me aside. TJ was no different.

I cocked an eyebrow at him. “Is that a promise?”

He grinned at me. “Finish your wine.”

“Okay!” I cheered and downed it in one big gulp.

I wasn’t usually this brazen, but after being stood up again, I thought I deserved a little fun. With TJ, that was all it would be—just some fun to pass the time.

TJ gave me an appraising look. “Atta girl.”

“You want to get out of here?”

He grinned again. “Most definitely.”

CHAPTER THREE

TJ

“You want another glass of wine?” I asked Maxine as she unzipped her boots and left them at the front door.

She peered up at me through eyelashes that accented her ice-blue eyes. “That’s not why I came here.”

Straight to the point, I hadn’t expected that from her.

“Okay then!”

She gave me a shy smile as I took her hand and led her to my bedroom. I unlinked our hands while I shut the door behind us. When I turned back around, she stood near the edge of my bed, fiddling with the hem of her dress. She looked nervous, unlike the woman who had downed her full glass of wine and made it obvious what she wanted from me.

I walked over to her and tilted her chin up to look at me. “You sure about this?” I asked.

She nodded.

I gave her my cockiest grin. “You know…”

“What?”

“I still think your dress would look much better on the floor.”

She bit her lip and blew out a nervous breath.

I tucked her blonde hair behind her ear and cupped her face. Yeah, that might have been my signature move, but it seemed to relax her. I took that as the green light and slanted my mouth on hers. She opened to me when I flicked my tongue against the seam of her lips, and she pressed her hands against my chest. I smiled into our kiss as I felt her undo my tie while I kissed the breath out of her.

My hands roamed down her body as we kissed, and she shivered as I grazed against her nipples. I broke the kiss to gauge if that was all right, and when she nodded, I pressed my lips against her neck. She tipped back her head and moaned while I licked and sucked at her soft flesh.

“TJ,” she moaned.

I danced my hand up her thigh until I was met with the soft flesh of her mound, where I had been expecting sexy underwear. My dick kicked against my zipper at the discovery she wasn’t wearing any panties. I slid my finger down, barely ghosting across her slit.

“Please,” she moaned.

“What, baby girl?”
