to take what he gave her. His powerful legs and hips pushed his erection deep, touching places in her that had never been touched before. Her womb clenched at the feel of his erection against it.
Just like that, she screamed out her release as she came apart in his arms. His hoarse shout joined hers and they came together, clutching tightly to one another. He fell back onto the bed, holding her to him like he never intended to let her go.
“Brandi, sweet.”
She smiled at the rumble in his chest at his words. Stretching, feeling him still inside her, she squeezed her muscles.
Geoffrey slapped her buttock. “Stop that. We need to get up.”
True. Unfortunately.
Pushing herself up, Brandi smiled down at him. “You’re right.” She eased up until his semi-hard erection slipped from her. “By the way, good morning.”
He sat up, returning her smile. “I have to say, I love the way you greet me in the morning.”
“Yes, well, I don’t know about you, but I have to get to work.” She glanced at the clock and grimaced. “I have a little over an hour to make my first meeting.”
“Alright, let’s make this quick then.” He rose from the bed. “If we shower together, we can be ready around the same time.”
Brandi eyed him. “But can you keep your hands to yourself?”
He grabbed her close and rubbed his lips against hers. “Can you?”
She sighed dramatically. “If I must. I do want to keep my business growing, which won’t happen if I’m never there.”
Geoffrey turned her around and gave her a little push. “Let us do it.”

Dressed, Geoffrey, feeling that sense of rightness, clasped Brandi’s hand as they left the bedroom. Nick stood in the kitchen, his jaw tight as he watched them. Brandi tensed, but Geoffrey gave her hand a little squeeze.
“Aren’t you being somewhat disrespectful to your roommate?” demanded Nick, coming to stand right in front of Brandi.
Though he was filled with that same urgent desire to protect, Geoffrey, nevertheless, waited to see how Brandi would respond.
Though the tight grip she held on his hand gave away her tension, she stared at Nick with a blank expression. “Excuse me?”
“You heard me, Bee.”
“Oh, yes, I heard you all right. I just don’t understand where you’re going with that question.”
“I shouldn’t have to be awakened by that screech you make when you come.” Nick looked at Geoffrey, a smirk on his face. “Doesn’t that noise grate?”
“You bastard!” Brandi gasped out, her face red.
Gently, Geoffrey pulled her close until she stood in front of him, her back to his front, theirs bodies pressed together, while he ran his hands down her arms to grasp her wrists and hold her there, surrounding her and letting her know she was safe with him. “Actually, I like that my sweetness loses all control. She is letting me know that I have done what I am supposed to do: Give her all the pleasure she can handle and more.”
Geoffrey nuzzled her hair and kissed her softly on the cheek. “Am I right, sweetness?”
Brandi half-turned and looked up at him, letting him see her gratitude. “Yes, you are. No one has ever made me feel the way you make me feel, Geoffrey. No one .”
His chest swelled with pride, for there was no mistaking her sincerity. He grinned and looked over at Nick, who stood there glowering at them. “I guess that says it all.” Then dismissing the other man, Geoffrey released one of her hands. “Come on, sweetness. We both have to get to work so we can play later.”
“Let me just run back and grab my things.” Brandi motioned to the coffee pot. “Will you fix us both a cup of coffee? I assume you made it while I slept.”
“I did, yes, and I will prepare some to go.”
As soon as she left the room, Nick stepped up to him. “Don’t think for a moment that this thing you have going on with her is going to last. She
