“What are you? A fucking rabbit?” I quip breathlessly as Bing pushes back inside me. My legs bend, my feet running up his legs until they hook around his waist.
“Mmm.” He kisses below my ear, moving slowly. “Only with you, babe. I don’t think you understand what you do to me.”
I tighten my muscles around him. “Oh, I understand.”
He pushes himself right into me, deeply enough I feel him hit the end. “Do you? Do you know how crazy those little moans drive me? How sexy you are when you come? Do you know how much the sweet taste of you makes me want you? Do you?”
Heat spreads through my body at those words. Holy fuck.
“I didn’t think so,” he breathes. My back arches into him. “And you definitely, definitely, do not know that all of that is second to the way I feel, ‘cause if I could, I’d be with you all day, every day. On this bed, against the wall, or even in the backseat of a car.”
Muscles clench throughout my body.
“Maybe it would be fast and furious, or maybe it would be slow and sensual, like this.” He kisses my neck. Maybe I would grab you tightly and lose myself in you, or maybe I’d hold you gently and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.”
My whole body tightens, and I grip him tight, all my breath disappearing from my body.
“Maybe I’d promise you nights you’ll never forget,” he whispers, quietly groaning behind his words. “Or maybe I’d promise you forever.”
“Both.” The word leaves in a breath that turns to a cry as my body gives over to him.
“In that case…” He sinks into the bed, holding me against him. His nose brushes my cheek, and his brown eyes burn into mine. “I promise you a forever of days you’ll never forget, and nights you’ll always remember.”

“By the way,” Bing says, sliding across the table from me. “I asked you to be my girlfriend on Facebook.”
I look up, barely holding in a hysterical laugh. “You what?”
“I asked you to be my girlfriend on Facebook.” He grins.
“You’ve been talking to Saph,” I mutter. “So, what did my Facebook say?” I raise an eyebrow.
“It said yes. Lexy logged into yours and accepted it.”
“Nice to have been asked for my input.”
Bing rests his elbows on the table and leans towards me. “I think we’ve established you’re my girlfriend, Jennifer.”
“Oh, but Facebook makes it official-official. Didn’t you know?”
“Saph mentioned that.”
“I knew she was behind this. Bloody red-headed bimbo,” I mutter good-heartedly.
Bing chuckles and shoves the orange juice at me. “I thought you’d be a little happier after your wake-up call.”
“Oh sheesh, it’s too early to walk into this conversation,” Lexy cries, slapping her hands over her ears. “La la la la la!”
I smirk a little, and Alec leans against the doorframe.
“Need a brush, Jen?” he asks.
“Why? Do you need a make-over?” I look at him.
“No, but you have sex hair.”
I roll my eyes. “Oh, big deal. What, you’re telling me you’ve never had sex hair before?”
Lexy shakes her head. “Brush, bedside cabinet,” she mouths at me.
I laugh. “Well, shit, Alec. I knew you were a tart, but, oh my.” I shake my head. “That just takes the biscuit.”
He looks at Lexy. “That’s your brush.”
She slides her hands from her ears. “I never said it wasn’t, honey. But you do use it.”
Bing snorts, and I grin as my phone lights up in front of me. I swipe at the screen absently, opening the message.
Carl: If he hurts you, I’ll kick his ass.
Okay. This probably couldn’t be any more awkward.
Ass-kicking covered, farmer boy. Back to your cows!
I grin and put the phone down.
“Amusing?” Bing asks across the table.
“Just Carl warning me that if you hurt me he’ll kick your ass.” I smile sweetly.
His face hardens, and I can see the tick in his jaw. “You still talk to him?”
I raise my eyebrows and point my spoon in his direction. “Hey, don’t you go getting all ignoramus on me, Samuel Edwards.”
“What the fuck is an ignoramus?” Alec snickers.
“Ignorant ass. Shut up, Johnson,” I snap, my eyes still focused on Bing. “Mine and Carl’s relationship ended mutually, on good terms, and we are still friends. Did you get that one? F. R. I. E. N. D. S. Friends. So don’t you pull that “You still talk to your ex?” card on me, because we all know that only one of us here has a pain in the ass ex who, I might add, is absolutely, completely and utterly, bat shit fricking crazy.”
I let out my breath and put my spoon down, nodding. Lexy gives me a thumbs up behind Bing’s back, and turns to her kettle. Bing looks between me and Alec, and Alec holds his hands up.
“Hey, leave me outta this. She’s right though. Heidi is bat shit crazy.” He shrugs, moving to where Lexy is standing.
Bing’s eyes settle back on me, and he takes a deep breath. “I suppose,” he grinds out. “I can deal with you being friends.”
“You suppose?” My voice rises an octave. “No, Samuel, no. You will deal with it. Carl is in Devon, I’m in London. That was the reason for the break-down of the relationship.” Lexy shoots me a look over her shoulder. “Well – that and I wanted to jump your bones.”
Bing’s expression changes, his clenched jaw relaxes, and his lips turn upwards in a half-grin. “You did, huh?”
“Yes. But that is not the point of this conversation-”
He gets up and walks around the table, stopping next to my chair and leaning into me. “There was a point to this conversation?” he murmurs. “Because I was too busy watching your lips move.”
I swallow. “There is a point to this conversation, yes, so don’t come over here doing that sexy “let me fuck you” voice in my ear, because you already did today. Twice.” I shove him away, and Lexy chokes on her tea.
Bing laughs, sitting back in his seat, and Alec nods.
“Good effort, mate.”
“Can we not? This is my brother.” Lexy leans back against the counter. “The point of the conversation is – Jen and Carl are friends, Heidi is bat shit crazy, and Bing, you can put your alpha male complex back in its box because Jen and Carl are friends.”
“You already said they’re friends.”
“I know I said it twice. I was supposed to.”
I look at Bing. “See? I told you.”
