Zack (Blue-Collar Billionaires 4)

“Maybe we should just tell everyone. This is crazy!”

“You know how protective Gabe is over you. He’ll go ballistic and probably hurt himself trying to take me out.”

She curls her arms around my neck in that way I love. “We can’t have that. I don’t want him messing up my merchandise. I need you in top form tonight.”

“That’s not the point. And for the record, I can take him any day of the week. Gabe fights like a pussy.”

She laughs. “Of course you can. I know better than to insult the male ego. I just don’t ever want to come between you two.”

“Gabe isn’t exactly rational where you’re concerned. He thinks of you as this helpless princess in a tower.”

“And you don’t think of me as a princess, huh?”

“I do. I think of you as the sexy ass princess who is smart enough to get herself out of the damn tower.” I bend my head and kiss her gently. Then not so gently.

She whimpers when I bite her neck. Then pulls out her phone.

“This princess is calling for backup. Izzie or somebody has to let us out of this damn closet so I can take you home!”

Once Isabelle liberates us from the closet, I say goodbye to Tank, Finn and Luke. Gabe and Sasha are nowhere to be found. Probably hiding from us. I chuckle when I think of Sasha’s antics. I’m glad she’s in favor of our relationship but I will definitely have to let her know that her matchmaking isn’t needed.

When we park in front of Izzie’s house, it’s completely dark. I follow Josie inside and she immediately starts stripping off her clubbing outfit. The tank top lands on the floor and then I watch with interest as she shimmies her hips to get out of the tight jeans. Her black thong bisects her plump cheeks, emphasizing the perfect heart shape of her ass. The view is almost enough to stop my heart.

She glances over her shoulder at me. “You like?”

“Oh sweetheart, there’s no like here. Only love.”

I don’t miss the wistful look on her face at my words. She’s been so patient and understanding while I figured things out. I want her to know how I feel. That I’m in this thing with her one hundred percent.

“I love everything about you, Jo.” I whisper it against her shoulder before kissing right behind her ear.

She shudders beneath my hands, arching against me as I push down the sides of the flimsy thong so she can step out of it. When she straightens, I cup her heavy breasts.

“I love your breasts. How they fill my hands and how sensitive they are.” I thumb her nipples and she cries out.

My hands trail down her stomach and dip into the indentation of her belly button. “I love how soft you are. And how ticklish,” I add when she giggles at the touch.

Then I’m delving between her thighs and her giggles stop.

“And I love hearing you scream for me. Nothing in the world like it.”

As I curl my fingers into her wet heat, she whimpers, her head falling back onto my shoulder. I press deeper, searching for the right spot. She really does scream then, shaking and crying as I rub her to orgasm. Before she even catches her breath, I have her in my arms. I settle her on the bed, then quickly put on a condom. Then I come down on top of her, holding myself up on one arm.

I want to see her face this time when I tell her I love her. And I want her to see mine so she can see how much I mean it.

“I love you. In every way.”

“Zack…” Her eyes fill with tears and then widen as I thrust inside her.

Her fingers curl around my forearm as if she’s expecting me to set a fast pace. But I move slowly, holding myself deep at the end of every stroke. I want her to feel me tomorrow and every day after that. I want her to know that I’m home.

When we come, it’s together, on a sweet rolling wave of heat. Her lashes flutter and her mouth falls open as she gasps her way through it. I kiss her sweet lips just because I can. Because I can’t get enough and never will. After a few minutes, I catch my breath and raise my head to look at Jo. Her eyes are open and locked on my face. There’s so much in her eyes, love, lust, happiness and then … wariness.

She pushes against my shoulder gently until I let her up.

“I’m going to take a shower. It’s late so I guess I’ll say goodbye now.” She kisses me once and then again. Then she walks into the bathroom across the hall and closes the door behind her.
