“Probably,” Jason said, and pressed his lips to the skin of her neck as he worked the buttons of her blouse.
Before he could finish, Mallory twisted him around and pushed him down on the bed.He landed with a grunt of pain.“Sorry!”she cried.
“No I’m okay,” he said with a grimace.“I’m really okay.”She shimmied out of her pants.“I am so much better now,” he said, and propped himself on his elbows to watch her.
She unbuttoned his jeans, and with a little help from him—he could barely lift his hips—she pulled them off of him.“I get to be in charge this time,” she said.
“Fantastic,” Jason said.“Do to me whatever you want.”
With a giggle, Mallory straddled him.She kissed her way down his body, to his cock.She took him in her mouth.Jason groaned, and sank his fingers into her hair.But it was quickly too much.They were both panting, both groaning.“Condom,” she said frantically.
“Pants,” he said, just as frantically.
She leapt off the bed, dug around his pants, then found his wallet.Tucked inside a pocket was a condom.She crawled back onto the bed and Jason as she ripped the package and slid it on him.
“You aresoefficient,” he muttered.
“Horny,” she said against his mouth.She was beyond aroused, too rushed.She should have savored it, but her body was pressing forward, so she slid onto his shaft.Jason anchored her hips with his hands, and they were suddenly a whirl of hands and mouths and movement.They were fucking.There was no other word for it—they were mad for each other, as if each moan spurred the other.She was riding him and he was bucking into her, his hands on breasts.Mallory’s release came with a ferociousness that was unlike her, and then Jason’s did, too, bucking so hard that they tumbled right off the bed, landing on their sides on the floor.Neither of them had realized how close to the edge of the bed they were.
Mallory burst into laughter.“This has never happened to me before,” she said, kissing his face.
“Me either,” he agreed.He was grinning.“Could you maybe just…slide off?”he said.
He seemed to be trying to catch his breath.Mallory obliged him and rolled onto her back on the plush carpet.Her heart was still beating hard in her chest.Jason was also on his back, and groped for her hand, holding it tightly in his.“I’m going to miss you.”
She laughed.This affection between them was exhilarating.“You’ll be back to L.A.soon.”
“I know, but this…has been nice.I’m going to miss this.”
Mallory wondered if he was referring to the sex or something else.What did he mean?What happened in King Harbor stayed in King Harbor?The thought sobered her, and Mallory slowly sat up, uncertain how she felt about anything.Of course this couldn’t continue if they are going to work together.Lord, she could almost hear Inez in her head.She looked at Jason lying beside her.His eyes were closed.“Do you think I should take that job?”
“No,” he said emphatically without opening his eyes.“I think you should stay put.”He caressed her leg.“What did you think I’d say?”
“I want more, Jason.”
“I know you do,” he said.“But right now we’re in a crisis.”
She laughed.“We’re always in a crisis.”
Jason opened his eyes and turned his head to give her a look.
“I know.Not a joking matter.And not the best time to jump ship.”
“I promise we’ll talk about it, just as soon as we are shooting.Okay?”
That was another week.“Okay,” she said.She didn’t want to think about it right now.Mallory stood up and pulled on her pants and shrugged into her shirt, buttoning a few of the buttons.Jason remained on the floor.Mallory looked at him curiously.
“Give me a hand up?”he asked, and winced a little as he lifted his arm.
“Are you okay?Is it your back?”
“I’m just a little stiff.”
Mallory helped him to his feet—not without a bit of struggle from him—but when he was on his feet, he took her into his arms.“I’m not going to stay,” he said, and moved his hand over her crown.
“Oh.”Mallory was surprised by how disappointed she was.
“I have to make some calls,” he said apologetically.
