“We’re doing what feels good.” To hell with the consequences. Each minute I spent with her only had me wanting her more. We were playing with fire, but I couldn’t bring myself to pull back. “I wish I were a stronger man. I’d stay away from you.”

She kissed my chest, sending waves of tenderness cascading through my body. “I don’t want you to stay away.”

“Me either.”

I held her in my arms, and we dosed off. When I woke, her hand was wrapped around my cock, and she was moving down the bed to take it in her mouth. I meant to pull her away, to tell her she didn’t need to do that, but instead, my fingers tangled in her hair.

When she licked the head of my leaking cock, every muscle in my body pulled taut. Then she enveloped me with the heat of her mouth, and I was lost.

Daphne squeezed the base of my cock, stroking me as she licked and sucked. Just when I thought I was going to come down her throat, I hauled her up so that she straddled me and lowered her over my cock.

I’d never felt anything more intense. It felt even better than before.

She tensed. “We forgot a condom.”

“Shit. Sorry.” I lifted her off me and reached for another wrapper on my nightstand. “I can’t believe I forgot.”

“You were asleep,” she said taking the condom from me and smoothing it over my length.

“That’s no excuse. I want to take care of you.” I didn’t want to put her at risk. She deserved better than that.

“We’re both here.” She lowered herself over me a second time.

I gripped her hips tightly, afraid she’d move away, decide I wasn’t worth her time. There was a desperate quality to our coming together. She had to go home after this, and I didn’t want it to end, but I couldn’t seem to slow it down.

I released her hip to palm her breast, rolling her nipple between my fingers. She rose and lowered herself on my cock, and I tried to hold back, to let her set the pace.

I surged up so that I could take one nipple in my mouth, making her movements jerky and rushed.

When I sensed she was close, I touched her clit, circling it. She was wet, her nub swollen. She bit her lip and threw her head back as she went over the edge. I gripped her hips and lifted from below so that I could chase my release.

She collapsed on top of me as I emptied into the condom. Her hair brushed over my chin; her skin was soft under my fingers. I didn’t want her to go. I wanted more, but there was nothing I could do to stop her from lifting herself off my body and moving to the side.

I took care of the condom, and when I returned, she was getting dressed. I glanced at the clock which read midnight. “You need to get back.”

She nodded jerkily.

I moved close, touching her shoulders. “This isn’t the end. We’ll see each other again.”

“How can you guarantee that? We’re both busy, and I have my daughter. Nights out like this are few and far between. She’s my responsibility.” Her shoulders shook.

“Hey.” I moved her so that she was facing me, her eyes shiny. “I’m not asking for anything. I just know this isn’t over. We’ll find a way.”

She nodded, and I kissed her, tasting her salty tears. I never thought that this would be something bigger than a night or two. But I wasn’t ready to let her go, to never see her again. My chest felt tight with the emotions she’d invoked with just being together for two nights.

I pulled on sweats and a hoodie and drove her to the main house where she’d left her van. The wedding felt so long ago. It was hard to believe we’d spent the day together and a good portion of the night, and I still wasn’t ready to let her go.

I parked my truck next to her van, turning off the engine so I wouldn’t wake Aunt Lori. “We’ll figure this out.”

“We should exchange numbers.”

I pulled out my phone and handed it to her. “Good idea.”

When she was done inputting her number, she handed it back to me. “I should get home.”

I sent her a text so she’d have my number.

I leaned over and kissed her, my fingers diving into her hair. I wanted her warm and sated in my bed. Would we ever be able to see each other for real, or were we kidding each other?
