The Perfect Lie (Hope Falls Universe)(14)
She smiled at him as she realized why he was so confused. “Josh, remember when I said I was rich? I’ve met famous people before. It’s much less fun when you realize they’re just people. I’m sure she’d rather eat without me gawking at her. Besides, I’d rather gawk at you,” she said with a little wink.
He leaned back and considered her once more. “You know, I’m not hungry anymore.”
She raised a brow. “We could always order in.”
He nodded. “I think ordering in is the best idea.”

Josh glanced over his shoulder as he followed Steph into the cute little cabin that she was renting out. Even though they were both consenting adults, he still felt as if someone was going to pop out any second and start asking what he thought he was doing.
The cabin was out behind JT’s, so it was relatively secluded, but Shelby or Levi would be able to see the entrance from the windows of the upstairs apartment they shared. He didn’t think they were gossips, but he was still protective of this new relationship.
Would he mind if word got out that he was messing around with the new girl in town? Everything about Steph was awesome. Maybe he should just go to the top of the nearest rooftop and shout to the world that she was his now.
Once he was inside, she pushed the door shut and immediately locked and bolted it. Even though he was almost a hundred percent sure he was about to get lucky, the idea of her making sure they weren’t going to be interrupted had his cock hardening in his jeans.
And Steph, who looked amazing on a normal day, wore this deceptively evil dress that wasn’t tight anywhere on her body but stopped mid-thigh. He was obsessed with running his fingers up those thighs to the warm heat in the center…
“So…” she said finally. “What kind of food is good to order in here?”
“Well,” he said as he approached. “There’s Chinese and Chinese.”
“Then Chinese it is, I guess.” Her words faded as he got closer.
He leaned in until his nose touched hers. “Chinese sounds good.”
“Good.” Her lips brushed his now.
And then they gave up any pretense of talking about food and he bent in for a kiss. For a second, the only part of them that touched was their lips as they started the gentle exploration. Then Josh cupped her face and tilted her head, his tongue demanding more access as Steph leaned her body into him, her belly pressing against his hard erection.
A need like he’d never known took over as he savored every second. Even though he’d had her just a few hours ago, this still felt like the first time. He might never get enough of this intoxicating woman and right now he was a hundred percent okay with that.
He reached down with one hand and gave in to temptation as he ran his fingers up the back of her thigh, pushing the hem of her dress up higher and higher until he grazed the lacy edge of her panties.
She curled her fingers in his shirt and pulled him closer as their kiss blazed hotter, but right now Josh had other ideas. His free hand moved down between the valley of her breasts and once it was flat against her stomach, he pressed her firmly against the door. He moved to kiss her earlobe and gave her one playful bite that had her sucking in a breath. “You’re all mine now,” he breathed next to her ear.
With her pressed against the door, he started to tug the dress higher until it was bunched around her waist. He hooked his fingers in her panties and pushed them over her hips until they fell to the ground.
She stood utterly still and he could see the spot where she was biting the inside of her cheek. “Step out of them,” he ordered and immediately she obeyed, lifting one foot and then the other, kicking the black lace out of the way. He had to hold himself back for a few seconds to keep from lifting her up and fucking her against the door right then and there. No, they’d already done that this morning. Now he was going to take his time.
He reached between their bodies and cupped her mound. Her eyes squeezed shut and her hands came to his shoulders, but she didn’t push him away. More holding onto him in anticipation of what was going to happen. And if he had his way, her knees were going to give out sooner rather than later.
He adjusted his hand to run his fingers along the seam of her opening; she was already so wet and ready for him. He had to fight the urge to smile. But when he pushed a finger in and felt her body contract around his finger, he wasn’t smiling any more. He was pure concentration as he started to work against her. His thumb brushed her clit and she jumped against him.
“Josh,” she moaned. “It feels…”
He pushed another finger in and she gasped for breath and seemed to forget that she was speaking. “Feels what, babe?”
“Good,” she murmured before she was taken over by a moan.
She was getting even wetter. As his hand was coated with her juices, it took every ounce of control he had to keep himself back and focus on giving this to her. But as her moans increased, he pushed forward like a single-minded demon focused solely on getting this goddess to come for him.
And then she was spasming in his arms. She leaned forward to press her mouth against his shoulder as though to stop herself from screaming as her nails bit into his arms.
He wanted to stand there and bask in the glow of her orgasm, but he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Bedroom,” he said, incapable of forming full sentences.
