Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 498

Joshua stood by the window, his back to her, quietly talking on the phone.

Allison padded over, wrapped her arms around him from behind, and rested her cheek against his back.

He tensed for a split second.

Joshua ended the call with a quick, "Alright, that's it for now," then turned and pulled Allison into his arms. "You're back."

"Mm-hmm," she replied softly.

She melted into his chest, her voice barely above a whisper. "Joshua, you're so good to me."

He laughed, that deep, magnetic sound she loved. "You're just figuring that out?"

"Will you always be this good to me?"

"Of course."

Allison looked up at him, her eyes shining like stars, never looking away from his.

Something shifted in Joshua's gaze-then he leaned down and kissed her.

The kiss was deep, hungry, full of longing.

Outside, the night sky stretched endlessly over the ocean.
