until you knew it was a cover.”
As much as Jed played the hurt party, it was true. We had used each other for sex, and I had used him for information. He couldn’t be too hurt that I had lied about who I was, because he barely knew anything about my cover anyway.
“I had a very elaborate cover prepared, down to the smallest details of where I went to kindergarten and the name of my imaginary best friend when I was little. Months of preparation went into that role, and the most I ever used was saying I was from out of town and looking for work.”
As I started to think about it more, the more indignant I got. “The first night we met, you literally pushed me to my knees in front of you and fed me your cock without so much as asking. I never even planned on sleeping with you until that happened, so you can’t act all wounded warrior to me!”
Jed stood there, looking down at me, bemused expression on his face. “You had a fake imaginary friend prepped and ready to go?”
“Of course I did. I’m thorough. His name was Charles, and he was a flying koala bear. He and I used to go on imaginary rides to faraway lands and fight evil armies with swords made from sticks.”
Jed laughed, a genuine, full-bellied roar that startled me with its intensity.
Caught in the middle of a self-righteous rant, I stared at him as his composure completely disappeared. When he was no longer able to remain upright and bent over to put his hands on his knees, a smile crept onto my face no matter how hard I tried to keep it off.
“Jed, come on, I’m trying to yell at you here.”
If anything he laughed harder. “Ch… Ch… Charles! The flying koala bear?” He straightened up and looked at me as he wiped tears from his eyes. “Did he have wings or did he fly around in a miniature helicopter?”
“Well… neither, actually. He had a pet dragon named Snuffles that he rode around.”
Jed and I locked gazes. I saw the corner of his mouth twitch and felt my own begin to do the same in response.
The dam burst.
My stomach hurt from ten straight minutes of laughing. My abs never got that much of a workout even when I was trying to target them intentionally. It felt as though my ribs had split open by the time our chuckles died out and we both managed to not start off again.
“Oh, fuck,” Jed said. “That was too funny. I can’t believe that you went to such lengths for such a minuscule detail. How did you ever think that I would ask anything remotely close to that?”
I smiled. “I admit it was a long shot. If I’d known that all I had to do was drop to my knees and open wide it would have saved me a lot of work.”
“I have to admit, you really know what you’re doing down there.”
The air was cleared from the bout of hilarity, but it started to get serious. Serious in a good way.
Jed closed the distance between us in that scarily fast way that he did sometimes. His hand cupped the back of my head and tilted my lips up towards his. He hovered just out of reach for a few seconds. The nearness of him, the scent of his masculinity overwhelmed me.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I put both hands on his shoulders and pulled him towards me, meeting his lips in a blaze of glory.
I moaned into his mouth as I pressed my body against his. For the first time since the bust I could feel him respond whole-heartedly. His manhood stirred against me through our clothes, and my own body responded. I clutched at his powerful shoulders and lost myself in the feeling of his lips on mine.
He pulled my shirt off and I reluctantly let him break off the kiss as the fabric separated us for a moment that felt far too long. His hands deftly reached behind me and unsnapped my bra, freeing my breasts to the cool air. His fingers splayed against my bared skin, stroking the sensitive flesh at the swell of my breast and making me pant.
“Take your fucking shirt off,” I said, but didn’t wait for a response before I tackled it myself. His skin and
