Page 73 of Falling for You

Oh. Well, in that case, I don’t care that the conversation we’re having is not the typical post-orgasm talk. I don’t even try to wipe away the smug smile that overtakes me. Instead, I lift a hand and say, “Magic.”

“Oh please. You’re just well-versed, which I guess should make me a bit worried but I can’t help but be glad for instead. You do know that I expect a repeat performance soon, right?”

As if that’s a burden. “I suppose I can manage that.”

“Mmm. I look forward to it,” she murmurs, nestling in. As soon as she slides a hand over my stomach, she realizes my need to clean up. Jerking, she sits up. “Ugh!”

“Ugh? Really? You’re the one who caused that.”

“Yeah, but,” she whimpers, raising a hand. “It’s…”

“Gross?”

“Well, notgrossbut yeah, gross. Sorry, is that mean to say? I know it’s your love juice.”

“Nope. Never call it love juice again.”

“I know. It’s awful. I read it in a book and I couldn’t stop laughing and swore to myself that I’d use the phrase one day just to be an asshole.”

This girl.

Damn if I’m not totally and completely smitten.

“Rex? Did you hear me?”

“Hmm?”

“I was giving you a very detailed description of the things I had in mind for tonight and you were ignoring me.”

What? How did I miss that? “Go ahead and repeat them while I grab a pen and paper.”?

“Relax, I was just joking. But you did zone out for a bit. Care to share?”

“I can’t stop thinking about when you were here two nights ago.”

“Me either. In fact, that’s what I was going to suggest for ourthingsto do. Maybe show me if the other night was a fluke.”

“A fluke?”

“Yeah. Like an orgasm fluke. Maybe your game was just really on that day. I think we owe it to ourselves to make sure that you can prove you can do that again.”

“I’ll do my best to prove it to you, then.”

“I knew you’d step up to the plate. Take up the gauntlet. Accept the challenge.”

“Any other way you wanna say that?”

“Nope. That’s it. I actually can’t think of another way.”

I hear a light tap on my door and groan at the intrusion. “Hang on a second, Chloe. There’s someone at my door.”

“Kay. I’ll be here.”

But when I open my door, the sight that greets me is exactly what I’d hoped for.

“Well, you weren’t lying when you said you’d be here.”

“I’m clever, right?” Chloe grins, tapping her temple and making a big show of hitting end on her phone. I do the same, sliding it into my pocket of my pants.
