As I pulled back, I studied his face, noting the desire in his eyes, the way his lips parted. I kissed him again, a bit longer this time.
“You can’t expect me to resist you,” I whispered. “Especially here. My kids are having the time of their lives with your sister, and I have a massive hotel suite all to myself.”
He looped an arm around me, pulling me flush against him, and captured my mouth in a searing kiss.
“Fuck,” he growled into my mouth. “Jess.”
“I am an exhausted single mom,” I confessed. “I have no idea what the future holds. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot fight my attraction to you.” Hands on his chest, I peered up at him through my lashes. “And if you truly meant it when you said you wanted me, then let’s do this. Let’s go back to the hotel and give ourselves a night to take what we want.”
“One night?”
“Yes. One night where I’m not putting my kids first and you’re not putting your career first. Where we live only in the moment.”
His breath hitched. “What if I want more than a moment?”
Unease curled around the desire coursing through me. There it was. The slippery slope. The promise of a perfect man who would ride up on a white horse and solve all my problems. That was a fantasy, not real life. I’d learned that the hard way.
Our lives were going in different directions. We could never be more than a brief moment. But I wanted our moment. And dammit, I’d earned it.
“It’s all I can give.” I stroked his beard. “Take it or leave it, Machon. You want to come up to my hotel suite, get naked, and ravage me?”
He kissed me again, sloppy and desperate, and pulled back, out of breath and eyes wild.
“Fuck yes, I’ll ravage you.”

It was just as I’d suspected. Once we’d opened the floodgates, there was no going back. Jess and I had to stop several times on the walk back to the hotel to kiss.
Her mouth.
Fuck. It was soft and firm, and kissing her felt better than anything I’d experienced in two decades. She was familiar yet totally new, stoking the fires of my lust.
As we got into the elevator, an elderly gentleman joined us, tipping his hat at Jess. She stood, hands clasped, the face of innocence, while we rode up silently.
All the way up, I stole glances, wishing we were alone so I could get my hands on her body.
Instead, I closed my eyes, thanking every deity I could recall for the woman standing next to me. Being this close to her, I was more alive than ever, invigorated and so fucking happy.
Our time in the park, simply eating pizza side by side, would go down as one of the most romantic dates of my life.
Finally the elevator reached our floor, and when we stepped into the hall, she arched a brow and held her key card up. “Race you?”
She took off running down the hall, and after a heartbeat, I followed, catching up to her quickly. Without slowing, I threw herover my shoulder. Only when she pointed at the door to her suite did I stop.
Giggling, she handed me the card. Once inside, I strode straight through the massive living area to the bedroom.
I deposited her on the king-size bed and kicked off my shoes before climbing on top of her, caging her between my arms and stealing another kiss.
This one was ravenous. I was fucking starved.
She gripped my hair and tugged, sending bolts of electricity up my spine as our tongues danced and I finally got to explore her body.
She was lush and soft in all the right places. Fuck, she felt so good.
My fantasies didn’t do justice to the goddess spread out below me.
