“That’s fine.”

They found two empty stools and ordered drinks. Markie smiled as she listened to the band playing.

“The band is good,” she said close to Nate’s ear.

“They always are. Scarlett only gets the best.”

When the band played a slow song, Nate asked her if she wanted to dance. She smiled and nodded, then he led her to the floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he put his around her waist. Then Markie put her cheek against his shoulder.

“You smell good,” he murmured into her ear, making her shiver.

“So do you.” She grinned when he chuckled.

Around midnight, Nate asked her if she wanted to leave, and she nodded. She was nervous, but she wanted him to spend the night. She just wasn’t sure how to go about letting him know.

When Nate pulled into the alley, stopped by the steps, he looked at her intently and she returned his gaze with equal intensity.

“I’ll walk you up,” he said, then stepped out of the truck.

He was hoping to stay tonight, but it was up to her. He opened the door, took her hand, and helped her up the steps. She rummaged through her purse for her keys, he took them from her, unlocked the door, and pushed it open before handing them back to her.

“Would you like to come in?” she asked hesitantly.

Nate stared at her. “I have one question.”

“What that’s?”

“Am I staying for breakfast?”

He watched her bite her lip, then smiled.

“How do you like your eggs?”

Nate grinned, then they entered the apartment. Before she had time to say anything, he jerked her against his body and pressed his lips to hers in a deep, hard, passionate kiss. Markie moaned softly as her arms wrapped around his neck. His hands slid down her sides, tracing the curves of her body until they reached her waist; he pulled her even closer as their hips met.

He reached behind her and lowered the zipper on the back of her dress. He peeled it off her, discarding it on the floor as they continued their passionate kissing. He stepped back, stared into her eyes as he unhooked the front clasp of her bra then removed it. He stared at her breasts, then gazed into her eyes again. She responded by unbuttoning his shirt and running her hands over his chest, her touch like a feather on his skin. He pressed his lips to hers as he lifted her gently onto the kitchen counter and spread her legs so he could stand between them, never breaking their kiss.

As Nate began to trail kisses down Markie’s neck and shoulder, she arched her back in pleasure. His mouth traveled lower, teasing around her breasts before finally drawing a nipple into his mouth. Markie’s body shivered.

Nate’s hands moved to her lacy underwear. His fingers traced the waistband, making Markie gasp before slipping his hand to her slit. She moaned as he touched her clitoris.

“You’re wet, sweetheart,” he said as he removed her panties. He raised his lips. “Those shoes stay on,” he said then kissed her deeply again.

Her hands unbuckled his belt and unzipped his jeans, pushing them down to expose him fully. Their eyes met, full of desire and anticipation, as she reached out to grasp him gently. Nate groaned, then reached for his wallet to remove a condom and quickly rolled it onto his hard cock.

Breathing deeply and staring into each other’s eyes, they shared an unspoken understanding: it was time. Nate stepped closer and positioned himself between her thighs, guiding himself toward her, teasing her for a moment before pushing forward.

Their bodies joined in a perfectly synchronized rhythm, each thrust sending waves of pleasure through them both. Nate’s hands gripped Markie’s waist tightly, holding her in place as he drove deeper inside her. Her nails dug into his back while she wrapped her legs around his hips. The room filled with their heavy breathing and soft moans as they lost themselves in one another.

As they neared climax, their movements became more frantic and desperate; a race toward ecstasy. Nate could feel Markie’s inner walls clenching around him as she surrendered to the intense pleasure coursing through her body.

With a final thrust, Nate came hard. They clung onto each other tightly as their breathing slowly returned to normal. Pulling away from one another just enough to steal another passionate kiss, and Nate realized he’d never get enough of this woman.

The morning sun streaming through the bedroom window woke Markie up. She stretched her arms above her head, then glanced to the other side of the bed to see it empty.
