“Then be quiet and let me concentrate.”

“Yes, please concentrate. You wouldn’t want to miss anything.”

He was really quite irreverent but also enormously entertaining. “Shhh.” This was said against his straining shaft. She wrapped her hand around the base and squeezed. How could he be so hard after coming the way he had—twice? As she stroked him, she ran her tongue over the tip, dipping into the slit and then under to tease the sensitive skin below the head.

“Oh my fucking God, that’s good.”

Jenny held back a laugh as she took him into her mouth while keeping a firm grip on the base. This was another thing she hadn’t done since she’d lost Toby, and she hoped she remembered how. She didn’t want to think about Toby right now, not when Alex was so vibrant and alive under her, begging her with the subtle movement of his hips to take him deeper.

She opened her mouth wider and let him slide toward her throat as she cupped his balls.

He fisted handfuls of her hair and arched his back, swearing softly under his breath as she licked and sucked and applied gentle pressure to his most sensitive area.

Her lips were stretched almost to the point of pain as he got impossibly harder.

“Stop,” he cried.

She knew he was warning her that he was on the brink, so she gave him a taste of his own medicine and backed off, leaving him sweating and panting for the release she’d denied him.

He fell back to the mattress and released a harsh laugh as he continued to breathe heavily and throb in her hand. “So mean.”

“Revenge is a bitch, and so am I,” Jenny teased, continuing to stroke him with her tongue.

“No, you’re not,” he said, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear and running his finger over her cheek. “However, I wouldn’t be opposed to some more of that.”

With only her lips touching him, she said, “Hmmm, let me think about that.”

He startled from the electric connection of her vibrating lips. “You’re out to kill me, aren’t you?”

“Most definitely not.”

He gave her a curious look that quickly became something else entirely when she took him into her mouth, lashing him with her tongue as she applied gentle suction. His entire body trembled and his grip on her hair tightened.

“Jenny…” he said on a long sigh as his back arched. “Jenny.” The second time he said her name more urgently, which was the only warning she got before he came in her mouth. “Goddamn.”

She wiped her hand across her tingling lips.

“Come here.” He held out his arms to her and brought her to lie on top of him. “That was incredible. You’re incredible.”

“Good to know I haven’t forgotten how to do that,” she said and instantly regretted the telling statement.
