Chapter 21

In the bathroom, the sound of the water became all sultry and muffled.

That bright red dress was completely drenched on the floor, tangled with the black shirt in the water. They seemed to be wrapped up in each other, extra clingy…

Jocelyn was lying in bed, feeling like she’d just had a full body massage, sort of sore but totally excited.

She rolled over, and there was her guy, puffing away at his cigarette, looking pretty damn content.

“I’m not the best driver.

You’ve got insurance. As long as you don’t hit anyone, you’re good.”

Sometimes his bossiness was just too much, making her instantly want to shut up.

She turned to face the other way, and Melvin got up to the bathroom. It was a while before he came back and spooned her from behind, getting all up in her neck and getting handsy.
