Goddamn bastard.

“Because the last thing he should do once he’s released is get into a relationship. He needs to find work, save money, and get settled again first.”

“And he can’t do that while relieving six years’ worth of sexual frustration?”

I groan. “Nope. I’ll be forcing you as far away from him as possible.”

“That’s rude and hurtful!”

“You really think you’ll be single in three years anyway? You’ll probably be married and knocked up by then.”

Everleigh snorts. “Do you see what I’m doing on a Thursday night?” She gestures around the room and wiggles her toes in her fuzzy socks.

“Well, Ruby’s been begging me to give you her number, so…”

Everleigh bursts out laughing. “Reminds me of that one summer after graduation with Layla Monroe.”

“Wait, what?” My eyes widen. “Never mind. I do not wanna know. I’m gonna take a shower, then pass out.”

“Oh, come on! We can have a friendly brother-sister chat! In fact, you’ve been without sex for five years. How are you not jumping every single woman in town? Is that why you shower so much now?”

I stand and finish my beer. “Good night, pain in the ass.”

“Fine, fine. I already know the answer anyway.”

“Sure, you do,” I say, grabbing my bag off the floor, then walking away.

“It’s because you’re waiting for Gemma. Duh! I wasn’t born yesterday! You two are a canceled-wedding day away from banging. Oh wait…” She laughs at her own ridiculous joke.

“Go to bed!” I shout as I step into the hallway, trying to escape her.

It’s impossible not to think about Gemma while I’m under the hot stream of water. My cock hardens at the thought of her and the sweet way she looks at me. When we lost control with each other, I was ready to tear off every inch of clothing and make her mine forever. I don’t give a fuck that she was still engaged to that asshat because she was never his in the first place. I want her as badly as I did before, but this time, I want to do it right.

I fist my dick and stroke it hard and fast. Squeezing my eyes tight as images of her flood my mind, I desperately need the relief. Thinking about how tight her cunt squeezed my fingers and how sweet she tasted brings me over the edge in minutes. Whispering her name with a grunt, I feel my orgasm take hold. I imagine Gemma on her knees licking me clean.

Once I’m in bed and under the covers, I grab my phone. I won’t be able to sleep without checking on her first.

Tyler

Missed you at the gym tonight.

Gemma

Sorry, I fell asleep right after work and just woke up. Rain check?

Tyler

Absolutely. Whenever you’re ready. Even if you just want to hit the punching bag, it’s a nice stress reliever.

Gemma

I’d like that. Maybe this weekend when I’m not so exhausted.

Tyler

Sounds like a plan.
