“The heels can stay,” I said as I pulled her directly into my lap and down onto my erection.

“Oh, can they?”

“Mm-hmm,” I murmured, gathering handfuls of her hair and moving it to the side so I could kiss my way along her jaw. “You can too.”

The chuckle that went through her vibrated into me. “Generous of you.”

“I’m a generous guy,” I answered, peppering kisses down her throat and along the top of her shoulder.

With a scoff, she wondered, “Since when?”

“Sincesomeone’salready given me five of her orgasms tonight, all within three rounds of sex, and is about to hand over a sixth.”

“Keeping track, are you?” When she shuddered and shifted against my erection, I started to peel the strap of her teddy down.

“Hell yes,” I said, then kissed the bare shoulder I exposed. “Seriously, Trouble. I thought you said getting you to come was gonna be difficult or something.”

“Or something,” she agreed on a groan as she rolled against me harder, then clutched my cheeks in her hands and drew my face up for a kiss.

I met her lips eagerly and wrapped my arms around the base of her spine to pull her snuggly against me.

We kissed slowly, tongues stroking, hands clutching.

She still had my head caged between her fingers when she pulled away to breathlessly demand, “Lose the shorts, Ohrley.”

“Jockeys,” I countered with a grin, even as I lifted my hips under her and pushed them down.

Once gone, I left the black cloth floating in the water and returned my hands to her hips. Then I smoothed my fingers around to grip her ass and grind her down on me before I moved along to play with her from behind.

She sucked in a breath and leaned her face forward to rest it against my shoulder. I shifted her hair out of the way with mynose in order to kiss her neck, while below, I slipped the crotch of her teddy aside and pressed the head of my cock against her opening.

Murmuring a sound of approval, she tried to slide down on me, but the water had washed away our natural lubricant, leaving the task more difficult than expected. Hope whimpered in frustration and rocked her hips, but she barely got another inch of me in.

“Easy,” I rasped, stroking her hip soothingly. “We’ll get there.” When she looked up into my eyes, I smoothed a hand over her curls. “We’ve got all night.”

But my reassurance distressed her more than it reassured her. “No,” she told me, her eyes wide with worry. “Weonlyhave tonight.”

My lips parted, and I didn’t care for the doom that settled into my gut. But she was right. Time was slipping by too fast.

Growling out my refusal to lose her just yet, I smashed my mouth to hers and picked her up as I stood, turning about as soon as I was out of the water so I could sit her on the ledge, and then I drove into her deeply.

“Oh God!” she shouted, arching her neck and wrapping her legs around me until the heels of her shoes dug into the small of my back.

Spurred into action—literally—I bucked into her repeatedly, only going faster when her breathing picked up and anxious cries began to tumble from her lips.

Just when I couldn’t take it a moment longer, she scored my back with her fingernails and started to tighten around me, climaxing hard.

With a relieved groan, I followed her into the high, burying my face in her hair and letting her hold me through the storm.

HOPE

“Hey, did you ever get to see your parents the other night?”

At the question, Parker lifted his face from my shoulder. “What?” Bleary-eyed and tousled, he looked as if he’d just woken from a year-long nap.

We were still perched on the edge of the hot tub with my legs around his waist and his cock wedged inside me. So thismightnot have been the best time to start a regular conversation, but a thought had struck me as I’d been stroking his back and coming down from my high.
