I scowled back and pushed at his chest for so space “Well, I’m sure you’d know all about that”

“What the fuck does that mean?”

“You use the word ‘fuck’ a lot”

“It’s a good fucking word”

I was teruntled he sounded and he seemed to catch my amusement because his hold on me eased

“What’s going on in your head, Jess?”

I thought about evading this conversation I’d never had to have an adult, open conversation with a man about sex However, I realized, so ive hi

I couldn’t change his past, but I could figure out what it was he wanted in the future by just being honest and asking the question

“You still want soestured behind me to the table—“it wasn’t just about sex”

“No,” he said “It’s not just about sex”

As I heaved a sigh of relief, he let go ofhis head down to mine so our noses almost touched He stared deep into ht into my soul

“I’ haul, Doc I was before you walked intosex ofyou walk out of here without me”

And there he went doing it again

His words resonated deep withinme that deep, sexual belly flip of arousal

My fingers curled into the top of his biceps “Best sex of my life, too,” I ht maybeyouthis was old hat for you”

He gavewomen in my bar”

“You could,” I said “You are definitely a man who could pull that off”

Cooper threw his head back in laughter and I pressed my body deeper into his to feel his joy

And then he wrapped his ared me

Just as I’d suspected, he was a really good hugger

When he pulled back he was sently at o only to take estured to the scene of the best sex we’d both ever had “It’s now a shrine”

“You can’t do that!” I wasout why there was a table in Cooper Lawson’s bar that no one was allowed to sit at

“I can It’s my bar I think I’ll even carve ‘Coop and Doc were here’ on it”

Finally getting that he was joking, I made a face “Funny”

“You’re slow on the uptake tonight,” he teased

“My brain was just frazzled by the orgasasms”

He squeezed ?”

I shivered at the thought “Definitely”

His eyes darkened “Let’s go back to my place”

Exhilarated by the prospect, I followed him, and it wasn’t until we’d stepped outside the bar into the cool night air that I said, “I don’t suppose you knohere my panties are?”

“I do, actually” He ledlot A dark-colored GMC was the only truck there

“You’re just good with your eneral,” I murmured

Cooper grinned and brushed his lips over mine “In the truck, Doc”

SIXTEEN

Cooper

The sound of his phone binging on the bedside table woke Cooper from a sound sleep He was just about to reach for it when he became aware of the heat of her body and the smell of her perfume

Jessica

He opened his eyes to find her soft blond hair spilled out over the pillow in front of hi his nose and chin He couldn’t see her face, but her shoulders were bared, the sheet on his bed covering them both only to the waist

One of his ar the pillow by her head, and his other was curled tight around her waist His left leg was insinuated between hers, and his cock was pressed against the round cheeks of her ass

He’d never slept with a woman like this before

Not even Dana

Dana had hated spooning—said it made her too hot, too uncomfortable

That had never bothered him

But that was because he didn’t knohat he wasuntil now

Cooper buried his nose in Jessica’s neck, biting back a groan as the blood rushed to his dick The night before, he’d fucked this aht her home to his place, where he’d reat, but it brought out so vulnerable in her and Cooper found he didn’t like how uncertain she’d seemed about him The doc was sexually confident at first and he liked that about her He didn’t want to be a guy who took that confidence frouy she felt free with—not insecure about—and he had a feeling Bailey had been filling Jessica’s ears with ruhteenspace “Well, I’m sure you’d know all about that”
