She closes her eyes and smiles. "Maybe just once." She backs away from me, then runs off. "Hurry up!"

I race after her, bounding up the stairs to my room. I scoop her up in my arms and kiss her before setting her on the bed. She's smiling and laughing and looks so damn beautiful. I think I might love this girl.

"What are you waiting for?" she asks, leaning back on her elbows, looking both cute and hot wearing nothing but my t-shirt and that beautiful smile of hers.

Leaning down, I tug at her t-shirt. "I need this back."

She huffs. "You said I could wear it."

"Changed my mind." I wait for her to sit up, then slip it off her and toss it aside. The room is mostly dark but the street lights coming through the windows offer me enough light to see her gorgeous body. Her soft curves. The gentle smile that remains on her face.

I drop my shorts and reach over to my nightstand to grab a condom. I quickly roll it on, then lie next to her, sliding my hand over the smooth skin just under her breast. I extend my fingers up to her nipple, lightly brushing over it. She sucks in a breath.

"More," she whispers.

As I continue to touch her, her eyes lift to mine. I look back at her and instantly feel the connection between us. I know she feels it too. She just refuses to admit it.

"Last chance," I say, making sure she wants this, but she's already told me she does so I don't know why I'm asking.

"Just one time," she whispers.

"What if it's so good we want to do it again?"

"If that happens, we'll figure it out."

"You mean when it happens," I say, kissing her neck as my hand slides between her legs. I need to finish what I started downstairs. Show her what I can do so she'll have no choice but to do this again.

"Holy shit," she calls out, gripping the sheets as she comes. I've only been at it a few minutes. Her body responded to my touch faster than I anticipated.

I move up, positioning myself over her. As I lean down to kiss her, her hips lift, searching for me.

Shifting slightly to align myself, I slide inside her, taking my time, until I'm all the way in. Her knees fall to the side and she wraps her legs around me, letting me go even deeper. I slowly pull out, then thrust back in. I continue to take it slow, following the movement of her hips, letting her set the pace. She goes faster than I'd like. My cock's begging me to finish but I don't want this to end. I just want to stay here, in this moment, for as long as I can.

When I know she's close, I take over, thrusting into her, hard and fast, until I feel her release and hear her making the breathy moans she made when she came before. It's freaking hot and makes my own release follow soon after. It's so strong I yank the sheet loose as I grab it.

I collapse back on the bed, my heart pounding. I lay my arm out, hoping Raine will take the hint I want her to cuddle up next to me and not run off. She takes the hint and slides up beside me, her hand resting on my chest, her head on my shoulder.

"So?" I say, wrapping my arm around her. "You sticking with the one time rule?"

She smiles. "I could maybe do two."

"Thought so." I rub my hand up and down her arm, loving the feel of her skin.

Her stomach growls.

"Shit, I forgot about dinner," I say. "Where do you want to go?"

"Miles, just because we did this doesn't mean we're dating."

"So you just used me for sex?" I ask, pretending to be hurt.

She laughs. "Yes. I used you for sex. Sorry about that."

"You could make it up to me by going with me to dinner. I'm starving. How about that Italian place down by my office?"

"The nice one? That's where you'd take a date."

"Anyone can go there. It doesn't have to be a date." I pause, gazing down at her and noticing how at peace she looks in my arms, and happy. "Why don't you want that, Raine? Why can't we date? You like me, right?"
