Page 44 of Every Breath

Mason thrust deeper and harder into her until she found herself on the verge of yet another explosive orgasm.

“Brandi, I can’t hold back any longer.”

“Then don’t, because I can’t either,” she moaned.

He stiffened against her and then shuddered violently.

Brandi felt his hot seed spray her walls, triggering her third and most powerful climax yet. A rapturous wave of fulfillment washed through her.

“Mason, that was wonderful.” She sighed with contentment.

He kissed her on the forehead. “And it will only get better,” he promised.

She looked up into his flushed face and felt that twinge again. What was happening to her? When she looked into his eyes, why did he always seem so familiar?

“You look pensive,” he said.

“I was just thinking about how good it was to feel like that again.”

In a swift movement, he wrapped his arms around her and rolled onto his back so that she was on top.

“Whoa, you’re going to make me dizzy. My head is already spinning.” Brandi laughed.

“I didn’t want to crush you. You’re so small.”

“Is that a short joke?”

“No, I think you’re perfect just the way you are, and I wouldn’t dare to make a comment on your height or lack thereof.” There was a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

Brandi laughed again. “Uh, thanks for the compliment. I think.” She laid her head against his chest and listened. “Your heart is still racing.”

“You have that effect on me.”

Brandi smiled tiredly.

“Brandi?”

“Hmm?”

“Where do we go from here?”

She lifted her head. The look of uncertainty in his eyes made her want to smooth the worry away, but what did he expect from her? It wouldn’t be right to enter into anything other than a physical relationship with him when things were so crazy in her life.

She still couldn’t believe that she was here with him in the first place. No, she couldn’t give more, or could she?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We had fun tonight, didn’t we? Let’s just leave it at that, okay?”

His eyes narrowed. “I think you know that I want more than that from you. Tonight was something special, or at least I thought it was.” He sounded hurt and she tried to push away the shame she felt.

“Look, I don’t want to hurt you, Mason, but you knew how things were for me.”

“But what happened tonight was more than just sex and you know it. There’s a connection between us.”

Brandi didn’t want to have this conversation. Why did he have to ruin the moment by getting serious on her? She rolled off him and sat up.

“Mason, I think you should take me home.”

He sat up, too, anger flashing in the depths of his eyes. “Oh, no, you don’t. You’re not going to laugh with me, share your innermost thoughts with me, then let me make love to you only to tell me to take you home because I want a relationship with you. I won’t be dismissed like some gigolo.”
