“Who’s the douchebag?”
“The guy you were going to Aruba with.”
I pushed up to look at him. “How did you know Noah and I had a trip to Aruba planned?”
“There was paperwork for it in the envelope I brought you, along with your passport.”
“Oh. Yeah, that’s right. But why would you ask if I still loved him?”
Fox’s forehead wrinkled. He looked as confused as I felt. “Because Opal said you were getting back together.” As soon as he said it, he closed his eyes. “Crap. She was just trying to get me off my ass, wasn’t she?”
“Is that why you came here? Because you thought I was going to Aruba with Noah?”
“It’s not the reason that matters, but it might have had something to do with why I drove ninety miles an hour through five states clutching the steering wheel.”
“And here I thought you’d missed me so much, you finally came to your senses.”
“I did miss you.”
“Yet it took poking the green-eyed monster to get you to act on it. Heck, if I would’ve known that, I would’ve told you I was going home to sleep with Noah before I left and saved us both a lot of heartache.”
Fox’s eyes flashed. “Don’t even say that.”
“Say what?” I grinned. “That I planned to fuck Noah?”
Quicker than the blink of an eye, I was flipped over and flat on my back. Fox hovered over me, looking smolderingly possessive—a look he wore unapologetically, like all his other moods. “You think this is amusing?”
“Why, yes. Yes, I do.”
“Why did you need your passport overnighted if you weren’t leaving the country tomorrow?”
“There wasn’t really any rush. When I realized I’d forgotten it, I called Opal and asked her to grab it before the realtor started showing the house to potential tenants. She said she’d overnight it so it was trackable.”
He hung his head. “I’m so damn gullible.”
Minutes ago I’d been exhausted, but with Fox hovering so close, my body found its second wind. I figured poking the bear a little more might be fun. “I don’t know. Between the paperwork and Opal telling you I was back with my ex, it seems logical to think I might be sleeping with him again, fucking Noah...”
Fox’s eyes blazed. “You really need to stop saying that.”
I leaned up so we were nose to nose. “What’s the matter? Does the idea of another man inside me bother you that much?”
“You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?”
“Maybe…”
Fox gathered both my hands in one of his and pulled them up and over my head. He whispered in my ear with a rasp. “There’s only one way for me to get rid of the jealousy I’m feeling right now.”
Goosebumps peppered my skin, and my nipples hardened to peaks. “Oh yeah? How is that?”
He lowered his lips to mine. “I’m going to fuck all thoughts of any other man right out of both of us.”
I liked the sound of that a lot.
His mouth moved to my neck, and he kissed his way to my ear. When he spoke, the words vibrated on my skin. “I’m going to apologize in advance for how hard I need you.” He trailed his knuckles down the side of my body. When he reached my panties, he tugged and they ripped away.
I gasped.
“You’ll get my soft later.”
“I don’t care how I get you, as long as I have you.”
“Oh, you have me, sweetheart. By the balls.”
Fox aligned himself with my opening and sealed his mouth over mine as he pushed inside. I scraped my fingers over his back, digging in when he sank deep. My body felt full, but so did my heart. It felt like…coming home. Like the relief of pulling into your driveway after a long trip. The two of us were tucked inside a bubble, and I never wanted to come out. Each time he withdrew, I grew desperate for more. Another hard thrust, another deep plunge. My body greedily clenched, the climb toward orgasm already begun.
“Fox…”
“Fuck,” he gritted out. “I’m gonna fill you up so much, my cum will be inside of you for days.”
That did it. The desperation in his voice sent me flying over the edge. My body thrummed through an earth-shattering orgasm. Fox grumbled a string of curses, pumping and grinding until I started to go slack. Then he sank deep and let go. And all felt right again, as if the Earth had been spinning off its axis for weeks and now gravity had forced it back into place.
Later, my head rested on Fox’s chest while he stroked my hair.
“I really am sorry for what I put you through the last few weeks.”
“I know you are.”
Fox lifted his arm, showing me his thumb. I hadn’t noticed the Band-Aid wrapped around it.
“What happened?”
“Your duck bit me.”
I laughed. “Are you serious?”
“It was a few days after you left. But we worked it out. We’re friends now.” He shook his head. “Even a bird figured out I was a dumbass before me.” He paused. “He misses you.”
