Before Jolene, s*x with his friends with benefits had been fun and hot and satisfying, sure. But with her it was on another level, it was about more than bodies and touch and orgasm. It was about giving, being vulnerable and open, holding onto the other person for as long as possible because they felt too damn good to let go of and roll away to sleep.
It was about connection with another human being.
Silver was a man who’d lived his life since the age of twenty-nine with no interest in romantic connections. Nada, zero, zip. And yet, and yet… somehow Jolene had crawled on into his core and she’d just set up residence there. She was proving impossible to shake loose or move out – it was clear that the woman wasn’t going to vacate the premises without a fight.
For the first time, Silver
