him, not stopping until they reached her bedroom. “You are one talented man to kiss me and still be able to climb the stairs.”

“It’s my superior training.” He lay her on the bed and knelt between her legs.

“I didn’t know that carrying women off was part of SEAL training.” She sat up to let him remove her dress, his fingers trailing up her torso and lighting little fires wherever they touched.

“We have to be prepared for any contingency.” He touched her jaw gently, first with his fingers and then his lips, slowly coasting over the injured part before moving on to her temple, her cheeks, and finally her lips.

She grabbed hold of his shoulders, taking him down with her to the mattress and kissing him so deeply she never wanted to stop. His hands moved over her, removing her bra and panties, but he continued the kiss.

“You’re talented,” she murmured against his lips. “I can’t figure out how to get you undressed.” She’d untucked his shirt, letting her hands play with his taut muscles, and managed to unbutton his jeans. But removing them in this position was a challenge.

“Do you want help?”

“I want you.” She nipped at his lips. “So I think I’m going to have to accept help. Roll over.”

He did as she asked, looking up at her with a grin when she straddled him.

“Arms overhead,” she ordered and whisked his shirt off. She placed her hands on his bare chest, feeling the ridges of muscles on his lean form. He was hers. That message beat in her brain as he stretched upward and put his hands behind his head, seemingly relaxed. All hers to play with. She traced the recent scar on his left pec, giving him a curious look.

“Shrapnel. No big deal,” he said in answer to her unspoken question.

“You’re probably lying to me, but I’ll let it go.” She kissed the scar and flicked her tongue over his flat nipple, making him suck in a breath. She felt empowered and moved her lips over his flat stomach toward his open fly. She thought he’d like where she was headed.

“Christ,” he muttered when she pushed his jeans and boxers down and took his dick in her mouth. His exclamation only encouraged her to take him in deeper. She sucked him, moving her mouth up and down on his hard length. His breathing was labored, uneven, as she twirled her tongue over his tip before plunging back down on him.

“Ride me, sweetheart,” he gasped.

“If that’s what you want.” She looked up, meeting his blue gaze. His eyes were hooded with desire, telling her she had him exactly where she wanted him. She dragged his clothes the rest of the way down so they could come together with no barriers.

Crawling up his body, she positioned herself so his dick rubbed against her before coming down on him in one swift movement. God, she loved the way he filled her. His hands went to her breasts, kneading and arousing, as she controlled their rhythm. She tried to prolong the moment, enjoy the ride, but he had other ideas. He put one finger between them, stroking her clit, and the tightness in her began to unfurl.

The orgasm slammed into her, leaving her breathless. He gripped her hips, driving up into her until she felt his hot seed deep within her. She collapsed onto his chest, their bodies still connected, and she knew nothing would ever be better than this.

Zach looked back with a grin, offering her a hand on the steep trail as they neared the summit. They’d started early that morning, knowing the trail was best at that time of day.

“I’ve got it,” Carolyn said, finding her footing between the rocks and tree roots. Although the trail could be difficult, she knew it well—or had two years before. When they were engaged, they had often hiked it for the view at the top and the challenge of the ascent.

“What if I just want you to hold my hand?” he asked, his hand still outstretched. Austin was strapped to Zach in a backpack carrier. The child had happily kicked his legs and pointed out every squirrel, bird, and chipmunk as they’d hiked.

“You should have put it that way.” Carolyn placed her hand in Zach’s and let him pull her up the last yards to the highest point, where a valley opened out before them. The green of late summer showed vividly on the wooded areas and in the grassy meadows. Sunlight
