As soon as I say that I feel her ripple around me. I love the complete control I now have over her body. I love that a strong-willed woman like her has willingly given it to me.

She scrapes her nails down my chest, undoubtedly breaking skin, as she yells out into her orgasm. I suck hard on her neck as I groan into my own.

She collapses her forehead onto my chest, breathing heavily. “Fuck, Collin, why is it so good between us?”

“Because I’m a stallion.”

I feel her shoulders shake with laughter. She lifts her head with a big smile. “You’re hung like one.” She bites her lip. “Is it like this for you with everyone?”

“I was a virgin until I met you.”

She smacks my chest. “Seriously. Is it always this good for you?” She looks so young and innocent while asking this.

“Who says this is good for me?”

She smiles as she smacks me again.

I grab her wrist with one hand and tilt her chin with the other. I kiss the inside of her wrist and then look her in the eyes and shake my head. “No. It’s never been this good for me. It’s you. It’s us. It’s special. We’re special.”

She turns her head, breaking our eye contact. She struggles with intimacy. Anytime we’re headed toward a form of intimacy, she always changes course. It’s like she’s built a wall, expecting to be disappointed. She’s always waiting for it to come. I hope I don’t hurt her. My track record doesn’t make it promising, but I don’t want to hurt her. Just the opposite. I want to be with her. I want to take care of her.

She pulls off me and collapses down onto the blankets. “Let’s talk about Mexico. I’ve never been.”

I roll down and lay next her, disposing of the condom along the way. “You’ll really go?”

“A week straight of sun, margaritas, and you fucking my brains out? That sounds good to me. I’ve been thinking that I want to travel more now that I have some money. I never traveled growing up. Jackson’s plane is the only plane I’ve ever been on, besides one time when my father dragged my mom and me to Florida.”

“We won’t exactly be traveling by private plane. Just a regular, run-of-the-mill plane, but when we land, we’ll be in paradise.”

She lays her head on my chest. “I can’t wait.”

I wake feelinglike I’m falling. I hate those dreams where you fall and can’t do anything about it. I can feel Jade in my arms though. Her front to mine. I love waking up with her naked body pressed to mine. I now hate the nights we spend apart. I can’t believe I’ve completely fallen for her. For the first time in my life, I’m thinking long-term. I just haven’t wrapped my mind around how it will come out, if she even wants it to.

She puts up a tough bravado, but I know there’s more under there. I get glimpses of her soft side from time to time.

I slowly open my eyes as the falling feeling stops. I see Edgar, my foreman, smiling down at me in the bucket. That immediately deflates my morning erection.

“Fun night, Collin?”

I look down to make sure Jade’s body is covered. It is. It’s obvious we’re naked, but she’s covered.

I croak out, “Don’t tell my brothers.”

“Sorry, buddy. When we got here and saw the bucket in the air and clothes all over the ground, I tried calling you. When you didn’t answer, I called them. I didn’t know it was you up here.” He turns his head to the side and looks at something. “They’re walking over now.”

I mumble, “Oh shit.”

Within seconds, Mac, Shane, and Braden are looking down at us. Mac and Shane look pissed. Braden is smiling.

Braden studies us carefully. “Is that Jade?”

Jade stirs at the mention of her name. Her eyes peel open. She realizes she’s in my arms and nuzzles into my chest. She reaches between my legs. “No morning wood? Did I suck it all out of you?”

Everyone except Mac starts laughing. It’s only then that she realizes we’re not alone. She turns her head and looks at everyone. She turns back to me. “I’m not normally into the whole exhibitionism thing, but I’ll try anything once.”

We’re smiling at each other when Mac breaks us out of it by saying, “Collin, get your stripper of the week out of here. What’s wrong with you? You’re a goddamn child. Not to mention the code violations going on right now. Grow the fuck up.”
