Chapter 23

Emery

The days leading up to Christmas were a haze of being at the shelter, cooking dinner with Mason, and sex… unbelievable, relentless sex. In every room and surface of my house.

It became this little routine—him coming over after he helped his grandparents to bed, making sure Grace was settled. We cooked, watched movies, and fucked like fiends through it all. We actually burned last night’s meal because we were too busy screwing on the kitchen table. We’d go to bed, where we’d continue to fuck all night and at least twice before he left, slipping out early enough to make sure he could help Grace with her morning routine.

How in a few days had it become so natural and comfortable, but at the same time so forbidden and reckless? Why did the thought of it ending make my chest flutter with panic?

“How long are you going to be gone?” Mason pushed me against the car, his body leaning into mine.

My gaze darted nervously out the open garage door, hoping no one was walking by. It was dangerous enough for him to be seen coming here at all, but to be caught like this? There was no excuse.

“Two nights.” Making sure the coast was clear, I turned back to him. “I’ll be back the twenty-sixth.”

It was Christmas Eve. My car was packed with presents, ready for my four-hour journey to Harper’s.

“Two nights.” His mouth grazed my ear. “Of not being inside you. Not feeling your pussy spasm around my cock. Not tasting your release on my tongue. Not kissing you.” His lips captured mine, his hands holding my head, controlling the kiss, flooding heat through my veins and between my thighs.

Was it selfish I didn’t want to go? The idea of staying here, lying in bed with him all day, was infinitely better. Two days without him sounded miserable, and the last place I wanted to go back to was the town where Ben and I lived as man and wife.

I hadn’t thought of Ben as much since Mason and I had gotten together. It scared the hell out of me. The safety of my life was crumbling around me.

“Mason.” I pulled back, my eyes darting outside. “Anyone can see us.”

A rumble came from his throat, and his nose flared with irritation, but he dropped his hands, stepping back.

“Text me when you get there?”

“Isn’t that crossing our only sex rule?” It was half a tease, but it fell flat as his expression darkened.

“Right.” He nodded. “Have a good holiday.” He turned for the exit, his shoulders stiff. Angry. Irritated.

“Wait.” I reached for him before my brain even weighed in, emotion taking over. I swung him back to me, going up on my toes, my hands cupping his jaw, my lips finding his mouth. A noise hummed from his chest, his hand clasping the back of my head, our lips saying more than we ever would. The need for each other constantly thrummed between us, quickly turning a simple kiss into something heated.
