Transcendence.
Lou felt her whole body tense, nails grasping at his shoulders as he fucked her hard. Every stroke and movement brought her higher and higher until there was nowhere left to go, and the world seemed to explode around her.
The orgasm made her shake and beg him for more. She clutched him while he stiffened and held himself tight against her, his arms wound around her.
He rolled to the side, dragging her with him. “That was better than a board game.”
Normally nothing was better than a good board game. Lou laid there, her body warm and satiated in a way she’d never felt before. TJ kissed her forehead.
And she knew the heartbreak—when it came—was going to be devastating.
Chapter Fourteen
Lou came awake to a gentle knock on her bedroom door.
The events of the previous night came slamming back into her mostly because she had a big, muscular arm wrapped around her waist.
TJ. He was in her bed. When they’d come home from the club, TJ hadn’t bothered going into the room he’d been assigned to. Nope. He’d walked right in with her and had her on her back before she could ask him what he was doing.
Then there had been no doubt what he was doing because he’d shoved his cock deep and had her crying out his name.
Damn it. She’d meant to keep it to the club. Oh, she’d known it would be hard, but it was just supposed to be sex. Nothing more. A way to get him out of her system.
She was pretty sure she was addicted to him now.
“Lou, we have company,” a familiar voice whispered. “The kind you need to talk to. Oliver and Sami have gotten authorization to give us some intel. I’m afraid this is a you thing.”
“What?” Lou had to blink to focus. The door to her bedroom was open and a big white and brown dog was smiling at her.
Bud 2. Even more Bud. The twins loved a big, dumb, adorable and cuddly rescue. They’d adopted the massive mutt when they’d moved into this place. He was some kind of St. Bernard/Great Dane mix. He sounded impressive. He looked like he would lick an intruder to death.
Kala stuck her head in, her nose wrinkling when she saw TJ in bed with her. “Ewww. Get dressed and come out to the dining room. Let Sleeping Beauty get his rest.”
“I’m trapped,” Lou whispered back. His arm was heavy.
“Just roll out,” Kala advised. “And don’t worry about waking him up. Everyone jokes about how dead he is when he’s sleeping. Especially…well, at the time we were talking about him playing sports really hard…”
Her best friend was never going to let her live this down.
Of course, if he was telling her the truth and nothing changed between them except that they were together in every way, Kala would get used to it. The question was would TJ get used to sometimes waking up with Kala in their bed because she didn’t believe in a lot of privacy. If she had a story to tell Lou at the ass crack of dawn, she would crawl in beside her.
Which she might do now if Lou didn’t move fast enough.
Lou eased from under his arm, causing TJ to mutter in his sleep. Something about hot dogs and how he couldn’t find one. She wasn’t sure. She had a momentary revelation that he was more like her dad than she should be comfortable with. “I’ll be there in a minute. Unless I should pull a Kenzie and go to a briefing with my boobs hanging out.”
“I think all that would do is make Zach’s head explode. Come on. I put coffee on, and the Brits brought donuts. They’re acting like it’s an exotic food to them. They’re weird,” Kala said with a shake of her head. She leaned over to put a hand on Bud’s head. “Try not to wake him up. I’d like Oliver to forget he’s here. I think they still suspect him, and they’re going to until you tear their evidence apart. Come on, buddy. Let’s grab some breakfast.”
Lou closed the door and took the world’s fastest shower, dressing in clothes she would normally wear to the office. It depended on what they handed over, but she would likely spend the afternoon at her office using the ridiculously high-powered systems she kept there.
It might be good to spend some time away from TJ. She needed to get her head on straight.
Lou quietly closed the bedroom door behind her and wondered if he planned to move his stuff straight in to her room or if they would keep up the pretense of him staying in Tasha’s.
Kala had been right. TJ had simply turned over and was now hugging her body pillow, a smile on his face.
God, he was so gorgeous. And weird, and that did something for her.
