“Of course we have. It’s been twenty years, but we’re still the same people underneath.” One of his hands slid down my chest and stopped on my pec, squeezing at the muscle before flicking his thumb over it. The nub of my nipple hardened, and I couldn’t work out where Judah’s obsession with my tits came from, but I wasn’t going to complain. The attention was nice, and it felt fucking amazing to have his hands on me, wherever they were. “Come home with me. We’ll go to the trailer park and pick your kid up first.”
So many things with this plan could go wrong. Saying no was the best option, but that wasn’t a choice when it came to him. I’d broken his heart enough for one lifetime.
Before I could answer, his phone went off, the ringing tune echoing through the otherwise quiet office. He grunted in irritation and picked up the phone from where he’d left it on the floor. The moment his gaze caught the screen, he sighed.
“Fuck.” He tapped the Accept button and placed the phone to his ear. “Yeah, Chaz?”
I couldn’t make out what the other person was saying, but the faint buzz of someone talking reached me. I leaned against the desk, waiting.
“Yeah, I haven’t forgotten about next Friday. Is it going to be at Brett’s penthouse?” A beat with him humming. “Yeah, I said I’ll be there.” His gaze rose to me and he smiled. “But you know how I said I wasn’t bringing a plus one? I actually might.” He laughed at whatever the other guy said. “Yeah, it’s a dude. Yeah, okay. We’ll talk later. Bye, man.”
I raised my eyebrows when he ended the call. “Where am I going with you?”
He chuckled, and it was refreshing to hear the sound leave him. “Once a month, me and my old college buddies get together for a drink. Usually, it’s this swanky little get together, and it’s always at one of our homes.” He placed the phone on the desk beside me and leaned his hip on the wood, hand in the pocket of his pants. I assumed he was going for cool and laid-back. “What do you say? Can I show you off?”
“Show me off?” I repeated, eyes widening. “Jude, we haven’t seen each other since we were teenagers. We only ran into each other again two days ago, and there’s so much baggage here—” I waved between us. “—that we would have to pay a hefty fucking overweight charge at the airport. I don’t think we’re at the point of me meeting your college bros, including one who has a penthouse.” I held up a finger to him. “And that’s not even including your mum when she finds out. She’s going to blow a gasket over this.”
His hand returned to my chest, roaming from my pec to my neck, and his fingers tightened. I swallowed around the pressure and closed my eyes, a sweet pleasure sliding its way through me and curling at the base of my spine. He didn’t choke me, but the touch was possessive and strong, a reminder of how much bigger he was than me.
He leaned in closer, his breath dancing across my cheek as he shifted to press his lips against my ear. “You’ve always been mine. I was stupid. I let you go before, but not this time. Fuck my mother. If she does anything, I’ll ruin her.”
A shiver crept down the knobs of my spine and I trembled, my cock jerking. What the hell was wrong with me? What was wrong with us?
“I’ve spent too much time hating you for leaving me. No more, Tav. This time, I’m going to take you out and flaunt you in front of her when they get back from vacation. I’m going to parade pictures of you all over my social media. Everyone’s going to know we’re together and there’s nothing they can do about it.”
This seemed really unhealthy, yet my cock throbbed even harder and a small gasp left me as the pressure on my neck tightened.
“I’m used to getting what I want. And if I want to keep you, no one’s going to stop me. Is that all right with you?” He licked a stripe around the shell of my ear.
Despite asking me, it wasn’t really a question. I moaned in response anyway. “Yes. Fuck yes.”
The rumble that came from his chest had me clutching at him and kissing him. He groaned, and I sucked on his tongue until he was humping against me.
“Let’s go get your kid and go to my place,” he murmured against my mouth.
All I could do was whimper in response.

JUDAH
I leaned back against my leather seat and tapped the Honda’s steering wheel as I glanced at Tav out of the corner of my eye. He was probably the biggest guy to ever ride shotgun with me, and I couldn’t get over how much I loved seeing him sit there.
“This is a mess,” he said, shaking his head and gesturing at the road.
“Yep.”
Everything was at a standstill, so I just kept scoping him out. When it came to his face, his lips were what I loved the most. I definitely wanted to lean over and kiss him. The person behind me honked, and I raised my hands. It wasn’t like I didn’t want to be moving. Something must be going on today because traffic had turned awful—even worse than usual for the after-work rush hour. Tav caught me looking at him when I took another peek, and he smirked, which sent a zip of excitement dancing in my stomach. I ran my right hand nervously over my leg, then laid it invitingly, I hoped, on the center console.
Tav laughed. “Thought driving was my job?” He tickled my palm with his fingertips. The gentle teasing dredged up old wonderful feelings. They’d been hiding inside me, dormant, just waiting for Tav. I sucked in a harsh breath and snatched his hand with mine. He snorted and slid his fingers between mine. Our palms pressed tightly together, like we couldn’t stand to have air between us. Everything about this was right.
Traffic moved, and I inched the car forward, only to stop again less than twenty seconds later. I smacked the steering wheel, and he hummed.
“No use in that.” He squeezed my hand. “Calm down.”
My heart fluttered and warmth burst in my stomach. Fuck, I’d missed this so much. “I know. It makes me feel better, though.”
“So, driving. Is it my job or what? You could be relaxing and working?” He wriggled our hands together but didn’t try to tug away. I was glad because I might’ve actually fought him to keep his hand right now. I felt strangely scrubbed raw, inside and out.
