He slowly moves to empty himself completely, but our lips never part.
“How did you get me to do that?” he whispers. “I’m dead tired.” He kisses me again. “You’re a bad influence on me, Miss Brielle.”
I giggle. “Excuse me, I was just lying here, minding my own business, when you accosted me in my bed.”
“You shouldn’t be so damn irresistible.” He chuckles as he pulls out of my body and rolls off me. He brings me closer and I kiss his chest, enjoying the feel of his smile against my forehead. I can feel and hear his heart beating hard in his chest.
We stay that way for a few moments as we come down from our high.
“It’s Monday tom
orrow.” I sigh sleepily.
“Don’t remind me.”
I glance up at him. “What’s it like being a judge?”
He scowls softly. “Serious.”
I smile. “Would I make a good judge?”
He chuckles and kisses my forehead. “You would be a terrible judge.”
“Hey! I can be serious, you know.”
He rolls his eyes. “No, you can’t. Just admit it.” He thinks for a moment and then smiles. “Don’t change a thing, though. You’re perfect as you are.”
I half sit up and my mouth falls open. “Are you admitting that you like my dizziness, Judge Masters?”
His eyebrow rises. “Perhaps.” He pulls me down to kiss him again. “Don’t tell anyone.”
I fall back down beside him. “Well, nobody knows about us anyway, so it will remain a secret.”
We remain silent for a while.
“Big weekend, huh?” I smile.
“Hmm.”
“How long has it been since you just let loose like you did last night?”
He shrugs, frowns, and pulls me over his body again.
I wait for him to answer with my head on his chest.
“I was twenty-two when I met Alina.”
What?
“She was at the same university as me and I’d seen her around. She was pretty.”
I smile imagining him younger.
“We hooked up one night after going to a nightclub.”
God, he would have been a good-looking twenty-two-year-old. He’s insanely hot now at thirty-nine.
“We slept together again a few weeks later after another night out. I didn’t see her again until she turned up at my dorm room three months later. She was pregnant.”
