"Do you think that's why JD was so interested in that woman earlier?" I started to brush my fingers through my hair and hit a tender spot. I winced, immediately stopping.

"Maybe." He dropped down next to me and pulled me onto his lap. "I don't really care right now. I'm exhausted." He kissed the side of my head not far from where I'd just touched it. "How's the head?"

"It's okay."I was tired too, but I was also wired from all the craziness that had gone down. While the exhilaration from the race was long gone, it had been closely followed by a serious of chaotic events that my mind couldn't stop thinking about. I wanted to put all of them together into a neat little puzzle, so I could file them away where they belonged, but there were too many holes in my information.

"Okay is too vague," he said.

"You should get some sleep," I urged, ignoring his complaint. "I don't need a babysitter."

"That's not what the doc said. He wants me to wake you up every hour through the night to make sure you are okay." He brushed a finger across my cheek in a gesture so tender it made my chest ache. I still wasn't used to attention like this, and I didn't know how to respond. Especially when I liked it a lot more than I should.

"He's just being cautious. I feel fine."

He bent down and pressed his lips against mine. "You do feel fine. Better than fine actually. But I'm still going to wake you every single hour."

I groaned. That did not sound like fun. Especially not for him. "I'll sleep out here and set alarms on my phone. There's no need for you to deal with it. You need a good night's sleep. I can take care of myself."

He rolled us around until suddenly my back was pressed against the cushions and he was on top of me, pressed between my legs. "That's not the point," he said, licking and biting at my neck until I started to squirm. "Sure, you could take care of yourself, but that's not what's going to happen. We're going to take care of each other."

My resolve melted under his clever logic and the sweet seduction of his tongue. All my good intentions of things going back to normal between us disappeared before my eyes. He was pressed between my legs, in just the right spot...

"I'm not sure that's what the paramedicorthe doctor had in mind when he suggested you could watch over me."

"I disagree," he said as he pushed his body harder against mine. Not just his body. Let's be real, it was his dick he was using against me and I wasn't sure I had a defense for that. Not with the memory of him inside me this morning still fresh in my mind. Although admittedly it seemed like days not hours since I'd been in this position.

Maybe just one more time.

When I left town, I would need all the memories I could get for the long road ahead of me.

"Stop thinking about whatever it is you've got going on in that head. Focus on me. Us. This."

"I am," I cried out as he bumped against my clit with perfect precision. "But we shouldn't be doing this."

"Why the hell not?" He pulled back, but only enough to reach between us and flick the button on my jeans open.

I tried to formulate a good response for that, but he already had my zipper down and his warm fingers were sliding under the edge of my panties. No one on planet Earth could be expected to resist someone like him. It had to be physically impossible. And he was about half a second away from discovering just how affected by him I was.

He inched lower, sliding his long fingers along the seam of my pussy.

"Fuck," he hissed. "You're already so wet. You want this as bad as I do." He took that moisture and rubbed it around my entrance, teasing me mercilessly.

He wasn't lying. Wrong or right, I couldn't deny what he did to me. "That doesn't mean we should be doing this." I grabbed his shoulders and pushed my hips into his hand, practically forcing his finger inside.

"Mandy," he growled as he tunneled as deep as his hand would allow.

I arched my back and held my breath. I could already feel an orgasm building. How he could do that to me so quickly still astounded me. After everything I'd endured, it was a miracle. I'd honestly believed that I would never feel this way again. And yet...I wanted more. So much more.

"You're going to make me come," the words were out before I could stop them.

"Of course I am. And when that one's done, we're going to do it again." He bit gently at my neck. "And again." He dipped lower and bit my breast through my shirt, but still sending a thrill straight through me. "And again."

"Axel." It was the only word I could get out as the pressure in my core wound tighter. He sensed my need as sure as I took another breath, and added a little more pressure on my clit with a flick of his thumb. That was all it took for the world around me to explode.

Everything fell away as splinters of sensation locked my body in a moment of perfect time. I couldn't move, couldn't speak, hell, I couldn't even take a breath. I was suspended in that moment of pure bliss with my nails clenched into his shoulders and the muscles of my core beating my body with pure pleasure.

"Fuck yeah, that's beautiful," he whispered in my ear before moving to capture my mouth. His tongue swept across mine, adding yet another layer of pure beauty to the perfect storm he'd created.

When everything finally broke, I wrenched free from his mouth and let loose with a scream. I was coming so hard I thought everything might break. I didn't even realize he'd moved, or slid my pants down until he thrust inside me.
