He pressed up against her, showing her how quickly shecould get him hard. Her breathing quickened and she reached between them to rub her palm against his erection.

“Your place,” she whispered. “And hurry up.”

“Yeah.” He put her back in the car and tried not to run to his side. He drove them around the property, parking in the closest spot. They got out and he took her hand, trying not to drag her to his trailer. But, dammit, he was in a hurry.

He held the door for her and she walked in, Kane right behind her, closing and locking the door. He turned her to face him, his hands in her hair, his mouth on hers, taking in the taste of her, the feel of her body moving against him.

She whimpered against him, dropping her purse, shrugging out of her sweater at the same time she toed out of her tennis shoes. He pulled off his jacket and started unbuttoning his shirt while he walked them toward the bedroom.

By the time they got there he had his shirt off and his jeans unzipped. Mae sat on the bed and wriggled out of her pants, teasing him by drawing the straps of her bra down each arm, then turning around for him to undo the clasp. He was dropping his jeans at the same time he undid the clasp of her bra.

In the next few seconds they were both naked and on the bed. He reached over and grabbed a condom, tossing it nearby so he could focus on Mae, sliding his hand over her breast, taking a nipple into his mouth, feeling her lift upward to give him more.

“No foreplay,” she said, raising her legs. “I’m ready for you to be inside me.”

Since he was more than ready, he grabbed the condom package and tore it open, put it on, then rolled to his side, grabbing one of Mae’s legs to rest it over his hip. And then he slid inside her.

“This what you wanted?” he asked, moving in, then out.

“You are what I want. Just like this.” She swept her hand over his chest, then held on to his shoulder while she moved against him.

Then there were no words as they both gave and took from each other, their lips and tongues meeting in a frenzy of passion. Their movements increased as they chased that pleasure that led to an explosion in record time. That they came together surprised the hell out of him as he held on to Mae while she trembled against him. He had to admit it had left him shaky, too.

He’d never shared a passion as intense as he had with Mae. And he knew why, though he pushed those feelings deep down. Right now he just wanted to feel the aftereffects of really awesome sex.

They lay like that for a while, until Mae pushed at his chest. “I need to go. I have work to do.”

“Okay.”

They got up and cleaned up in the bathroom, then got dressed. Kane drove her back to the house and walked her to the front door. He pulled her close and gave her a lingering kiss that made him want to hold on to her much, much longer. But they finally pulled apart and he saw the heat, the emotion in her eyes, reflecting what he felt.

“See you tomorrow,” she said.

He smiled. “Yeah, you will.”

He walked down the steps to his car, turned to see her standing at the door watching him, then got in and drove away, unable to lose the smile on his face.

You love her.

“No, I don’t.”

Yeah, you do. Better pull your head out of your ass and figure out your shit, dude.

Inner voice was right about that.

Mae absently stirredher coffee, the drone of voices in the room like bees buzzing around her. Her thoughts lingered on yesterday, on the intimate way she and Kane had connected. It had been furious and passionate, the two of them as one.

Which seemed hokey as hell, but there it was. She knew him like she’d never known another man.

She loved him.

“Okay, Mae,” Erin said. “What’s going on?”

She snapped out of her daze and looked over at Erin. “Excuse me?”
