“You could block his number,” I pointed out.
“I know. But it makes me sad that it’s come to that.”
“Is there any chance you’ll forgive him?”
The mere thought of Ruby and Noah getting back together had the pasta churning in my stomach. But as difficult as the idea was to face, I had to know where her head was at.
“Absolutely not. That door is closed.”
I exhaled. Good. Great.Fuckinggreat.

Even though nobody else was home, Ruby and I bypassed the empty living room anyway, heading straight for my bedroom. Knowing the guys would drunkenly stumble in at some point, there was no point waiting downstairs for the inevitable interruption.
As I sat on the edge of the bed to slip off my shoes, Ruby slowly paced towards me, kneeling by my feet and resting her hands on my thighs.
“Tonight was amazing, Wheels. I hope the phone call at the end didn’t spoil it.”
The vulnerability flickering in her wide green eyes maddened me. Fuck Noah. And fuck him for putting it there.
“Of course it didn’t.”
She briefly smiled, seeming to relax before shoving me backwards.
“Just in case, let’s end on a high.”
I froze when her soft hands reached for my belt. Wait! Was what I think was about to happenactuallyhappening? Or was I completely misreading this?
Holding my gaze, Ruby unfasted the button of my jeans before sliding down the zipper.
Nope. Happening.
The distinctive rasp of the zipper was like thunder in the silent room. I’d never been so aware of the sounds clothes made when they were being removed. Probably because I’d never been this high on anticipation before.
Even with casual hookups – when we’d spent the night flirting with one another across the bar – or situationships – when we’d exchange spicy texts all day – once finally getting the girl naked beneath me, it still never felt like this.
Nothing from my past came close to this feeling.
“Rubz.” My voice was gravelly as all hell. “You don’t have to.”
“I want to.” She reached into my boxers. “Badly.”
Christ, this girl.
I dropped my head against the mattress when she wrapped her hand around my shaft. Usually I would barely consider that foreplay, but I was so turned on my vision had gone blurry.
I lifted my hips when she tugged on my jeans, pulling them and my boxers down to my ankles. Once they were low enough, I kicked them off, not caring where they landed.
“You have a very nice dick, Wheels.”
I laughed. “Thank you.”
She ran her tongue over her lips, deliberately wetting them. “I’m going to enjoy this.”
The instant her warm mouth closed around me, my body turned to mush. Only one part of me was hard right now, and Ruby was sucking it so deeply I could see stars.
As she dragged her tongue along my length before rotating around the tip, I clenched the blanket in my hands. Not being able to touch Ruby was torture. I wanted to make her feel as amazing as she was making me.
