“Hell no. Hard is good.” She thrust her hips upward to meet his next return and both of them gasped at the pleasure the movement produced. “Hard isreallygood.”

He kissed her for several moments. When he pulled away, she reached up to cup his cheek, his beloved face hovering just above hers. “I was the world’s biggest fool not to see what was standing right in front of me all this time. You’ve always been with me, watching over me, taking care of me. I honestly don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you, Aaron. Hell, I’m not sure Idodeserve you, but I swear I have no intention of ever taking you for granted again.”

Aaron kissed her forehead and moved inside once more, before holding still within her. “You act like this is a one-sided deal. Riley, I can’t imagine my life without you. You make me a better person.”

She giggled, but he thrust inside once more, quickly turning her chuckle to a moan.

“I’m being serious,” he said.

She leaned up and nipped his chin lightly. “Sugar, no one’s ever accused me of making them a better person. In high school, I was voted ‘Person Most Likely to Share a Jail Cell’, remember?”

He laughed, the action rocking him even deeper and she gasped. She’d never had a full-blown conversation in the midst of sex, but with Aaron, it seemed so natural…and hot.

He ran his hand through her hair. “I remember,” he said. “But I’m standing by what I said, you’ve made my life better. Look at me, Riley. I’m not exactly the world’s most spontaneous person.”

She raised her eyebrows, her grin showing she agreed with his assessment.

“If not for you, I’d never have bought my motorcycle.”

She tightened her legs around his waist and pushed her hips toward him. “Mmm, have I told you lately how hot I think that bike is?”

He met her push with a quick, hard thrust of his own. “You’ve told me. Daily. You’re still not driving it.”

She stuck out her tongue. He bent forward and sucked it into his mouth, kissing her once more. She’d never been a huge fan of kissing, but Aaron was damn good at it.

He pulled back after several moments and she could see he wasn’t finished. “You were the one who convinced me to get my tattoo.”

Her hand instinctively went to his right shoulder blade, fingering the tiny Celtic knot she knew was there. Interwoven with the knot was the name of Aaron’s twin sister, Alise, who died in childbirth.

She stroked it gently and he moved into her once more. She’d asked him to make love to her, but this felt like so much more. While his body took hers, his words claimed her heart, her mind, her soul. He was inside every part of her, deeper than anyone had ever been and she felt like the most cherished person on earth.

“I’m not even sure I would have gone into the Police Academy if not for you. You make me laugh every day, Riley. I could have the shittiest day in history and you would still find a way to make everything okay. So enough of thisI don’t deserve yougarbage.”

Obviously he was finished trying to convince her with words. Before she could respond, he started moving, slowly at first, but soon his thrusts grew harder, faster, deeper. She dug her fingers into his shoulders, simply to find something to anchor her to this place, this time, this man.

Her climax hit her hard and fast, then lingered. “I love you,” she yelled as she came. It felt like Aaron absorbed her trembling with his own body as he took each pleasurable shiver and enhanced it.

“One more,” he demanded, the husky timber of his voice setting her off again.

“God, yes!” He drove her to the peak once more and they dove over the cliff together.

Lying on their backs, they were quiet for several moments, both of them obviously lost in thought. The silence was broken by Aaron’s stomach growling loudly.

“Guess man cannot live on sex alone,” she teased.

“God knows I’ve tried these past couple of days.”

“Are you sure you don’t wanna try the all-you-can-eat again? I’ll give you yellow.”

He groaned. “I don’t think I’m ever doing one of those buffet bars again.”

She laughed. “Never say never. Room service?”

He turned to face her and nodded. “Yep. I’ll call.” Moving forward, he placed a brief kiss on her lips.

“I love you, Aaron Dung,” she said.

Aaron chuckled. “I love you too, Metal Mouth.”
