She bent her legs more, allowing his cock room to slide in deeper. Chase slid a hand down the outside of one of her thighs, hooking the back of her knee and hoisting it higher.
Scottie cried out when he tilted his hips just so. The internal sensation from the move was so intense, she wasn’t entirely certain she’d survive.
Their bodies continued moving as one, bringing them closer and closer to the release they so desperately craved. She let her head fall back, her eyes shutting from the pressure building within.
And when she came a second time, Scottie called out his name.
She quivered and shook as her second climax of the night burst free, sizzling through every nerve ending her body possessed. Chase’s movements shifted, then. They became rougher and a bit uneven.
His breathing shallowed as tiny beads of sweat began to bead across his forehead. When he found his own release, he closed his eyes, releasing a guttural moan.
Hours later, after a shared shower and a quick bite to refuel, they lay curled together beneath the covers. Their bodies fit together like two pieces of the perfect puzzle. The other half she’d always known was missing.
She’d give anything to spend every night exactly like this. Wrapped in the warmth and safety of Chase’s arms. And the last thought whispering through her mind as she drifted off into a peaceful sleep…
I don’t ever want to be without him again.

Two weeks later…
“Uh…helloooo. Earth to Chase…”
Chase blinked, looking up from his desk to find Lucky standing in his office doorway. The expression on the man’s face said he’d been trying to catch Chase’s attention for a while.
“Sorry, what?” He gave his teammate his full and undivided attention.
In typical Lucky fashion, the cocky bastard strolled into the room like he owned the place, plopping his ass down in the chair positioned directly across from Chase’s.
“You good?” The other man’s crystal blue eyes searched his.
“Yeah, I’m good.”Better than good.“Why do you ask?”
“I don’t know. I’ve just noticed you seemed a little off lately, and I wanted to make sure everything was all right.”
Chase frowned, confused by both Lucky’s concern and out in left-field assessment. “Off how?”
“Dude, you’ve been as distracted as a dog on a squirrel farm. Every time I’ve seen you the last couple of weeks, it’s like you’ve got your head lost up in the clouds.”
His lips parted with the reflex to make up an excuse or lie, but the truth was, hehadbeen distracted. In a big, big way.
“Sorry,” he apologized, rolling his office chair a few inches closer to his desk. “I guess I’ve just had a lot on my mind.”
Lucky nodded. “This wouldn’t have anything to do with your recent reunion with a certain high school sweetheart, now, would it?”
It has everything to do with her.
When Chase refrained from saying those same words aloud—or any at all, for that matter—his friend took his silence for what it was. An admission of guilt.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.” Lucky flashed a knowing grin. “I’m guessing things between you two are going well?”
They were better than well. Things between him and Scottie were…
Fucking perfect.
Chase stopped the smile from forming on his lips a half-a-second too late. Before he could even attempt a lame-ass excuse the man probably wouldn’t buy anyway, the smartass was right there, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce.
“Ah ha!” The computer genius sat up straighter in his chair. Pointing a finger toward Chase, he exclaimed a confident, “Iknewit! What did I tell you?”
