He rolled them, leaving her on top as he stretched out for his nightstand. His hand couldn’t reach inside the drawer, so Piper leaned up on her knees to reach what he couldn’t.

Troy groaned, and she glanced down to see his gaze on her breasts. His hands and mouth replaced his eyes. Piper’s entire body trembled with the effects of his touch. With an effort, she ripped open the condom she’d grabbed.

She rolled it on him slowly, and Troy growled at her touch. His hands slid down her body until they rested on her hips. When the condom was on, he helped her lift and position his tip at her entrance.

Piper lowered herself bit by bit, Troy’s hands firm on her hips. They locked gazes until their bodies connected in the best possible way. For a long moment, she simply treasured the way he made her feel.

Complete.

She rolled her hips, and Troy growled again. “Damn, Piper. You’re going to kill me.”

She smiled and kept up the slow, tortuous movement. She’d never experienced a lover like Troy. Fun, giving, and impossibly thorough.

Soon, she was lost in the feelings and her body took over the rhythm. “So good.” The words whispered out of her.

She’d never had more than one orgasm during sex, but her body was spiraling close to a third. Troy reached between them with one hand and played with her clit so that she was flying and floating and skyrocketing all at the same time.

When she gained control over her senses again, she lay on her back, with Troy watching her with heat and what she could only describe as possessiveness. Their bodies were still locked, and he was moving slowly, drawing out her orgasm for her.

“There you are, Gorgeous.”

Then he was moving faster, thrusting harder, and her body tightened again.

When she flew over the edge, he shouted her name and flew with her.

CHAPTER 12

Game Plan

Piper felt the smile on her face as she woke. Her dreams had been spectacular. That smile widened when she felt the warm weight of Troy’s arm holding her snug against him.

The dreams had nothing on the reality.

Troy had explored every last part of her skin. He’d made her feel treasured. Even loved. She knew she was jumping ahead, but she couldn’t deny it any longer. She was falling hard and fast for Troy Phail. If she was honest, she’d already tumbled.

Part of her was terrified at the thought. She was supposed to leave in a few days. They hadn’t really talked about feelings or the future. But most of her was happy. More content than she’d been since the death of her parents.

Troy’s arm tightened around her. “Morning, beautiful. You tensed up there. Are you having regrets?” His sleepy voice rumbled in her ear while his thumb caressed the skin on her belly.

“Absolutely no regrets. You?” Better to ask when she was facing away.

“Not a one. Not even an inkling of one. So, if not regrets, what were you thinking about?”

She wasn’t about to tell him she’d fallen in love with him in days. It was far too early to be talking love. But she could share the rest. “I was thinking I haven’t felt this happy in years. Not since before my parents died.”

His arm tightened again, and he kissed her hair. “What happened to them?”

“They were traveling to my graduation when another driver lost control of his truck. He was texting on the highway, and he rammed them from behind. The truck shoved them forward into a semi.” Her voice broke.

Troy gently turned her so he could wrap his arms around her. “I’m so sorry. That must have been horrible.”

She nodded into his chest and tried to blink back the tears. “It was. Even though it was years ago, it still slices into me every time I think about it.”

“I bet. I can’t imagine how awful that was. And you said you don’t have brothers or sisters. That would have made it even more difficult. Who helped you through it?”

She shrugged. “I had a few classmates who tried, but it was graduation for my Masters’. Everyone was celebrating with family and heading off to their jobs.”

His hands ran over her, offering comfort. “So you handled everything more or less on your own. You’re so damn strong, Piper. I know your parents would be proud of the woman you’ve become.”
