Page 64 of Say it Ain’t So

“You’re awake!” Her voice was loud—louder than it needed to be with us sitting so close.

But still, I returned her smile. “Morning, gorgeous.”

Her brow furrowed for a split second before she grinned and pulled her ear buds out of her ears. She set them on her table with her tablet, then leaned over me and cupped my cheek. “How’d you sleep?”

“Mmm. Great. Best I’ve slept in a long time.”

Except for that last little bit, the nightmare I’d been having just before I woke up.

“Me too.” She pressed her lips to mine, and I smoothed my hands down her body until I had a handful of her ass. I tugged and Joss shifted, tossing her leg over mine and climbing on board.

“Rylan.” She said it in a breathy whisper, her own hands roaming as she molded herself to me. Our tongues danced together, our mouths connecting as we rocked against each other. My dick grew dangerously hard, pinned between us as she ground her wet pussy against my thigh. But her kisses, her perfect, roaming hands, were stealing too much of my brain power to do anything about it.

Joss broke free from our kiss as her fingers curled around my length. “I want this.”

I managed a nod. I wasn’t about to deny her—not with how hard I was. I couldn’t deny I’d been thinking the same thing with the one brain cell she’d left me.

That cell couldn’t keep up with her though. She untangled our legs and got on her knees, pressing hot kisses to my chest before descending. She kissed her way down my abs, her hand stroking me before her thumb swiped across the precum pilled at my tip.

“I need this.” She murmured that to my dick before her tongue swept out and she licked me. I jolted—both at the feel of her and at the sound of the alarm from my dream.

She didn’t give me a chance to think about that sound. Joss covered the head of my dick with her mouth, sucking gently and driving me insane. She took in more, her hand gripping my shaft, stroking in perfect rhythm with each bob of her head.

She felt so good, I knew I wouldn’t last long. The only thing keeping me from coming down her throat when she swallowed against me was that sound again.

That infuriating sound.

Loud and obnoxious and not quite an alarm, but I couldn’t figure out what the hell made that noise.

“What is that?” I turned my head toward the window, glanced at her bedside table and the tablet sitting there.

“It’s just Frank,” Joss said before she latched onto me again, taking me deep into her throat.

I didn’t know who Frank was, but as he made that noise again, I couldn’t focus on Joss. Especially not as something tapped at the window as if it wanted to get in.

“What the hell?” I grabbed her under the arms, pulling her off me with a loud pop. My dick bobbed between us as I dragged her up to my face. “Who the hell is Frank?”

Her swollen lips turned down. “My crow bro.”

“Your crow… What the hell is a crow bro?”

Frank—or whatever it was—tapped at the window again. Joss rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. “Come on, I’ll show you.”

My dick protested as she climbed off me, throbbing as she covered her beautiful naked body in a light purple silk robe. It wasn’t until she disappeared out of the room that I was able to summon enough brain power to chase after.

Fuck. Is that how she got away? She cast some spell on me that left me unable to think while she ran out on me?

Stumbling from her bed, I snagged my underwear from the floor only to drop the sodden fabric back where it was atop my still-wet pants. I grabbed the sheet I’d been wrapped up in when I awoke, tearing it away from the mattress even as I was wrapping it around my waist, chasing after Joss’s shadow.

Chest heaving, I ran to the door, only to realize the chain lock was in place.

Had we locked it last night?

A noise behind me had me spinning in my place. My mouth dried up at the sight of Joss’s ass peeking out from under that purple silk. My dick pulsed as I caught sight of her bare pussy as she climbed out the⁠—

Holy shit! My heart kicked in my chest, kicked my ass into gear, because Joss was climbing out the goddamn window. I couldn’t let her leave, couldn’t let her fall. I raced to her, yelling her name as I grabbed her hips and held on tight, squeezing even harder as a flurry of black soared up into the sky and that sound—that annoying goddamn sound—sparked terror through my heart.

“Dang it!” Joss turned, pressing her hand against my chest, leaning into me as I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her. But the smile on her face had my racing heart stuttering and confusion pummeling my head.
