want to touch you,” Aubree reached for his boxer shorts and he rolled onto his back so she could pull them off. Her eyes widened as she caught sight of his erection. He chuckled and pulled her on top of him.
“Kiss me,” he begged softly. She rewarded him with a hot lingering kiss that made him hard and even more desperate to have her. When she curled her fingers around his cock and stroked, it felt so good he thought he might die. Her name came out as a groan as he gripped her ass and his fingers fisted the fabric of her panties before he ripped them off her body. A minute later, he rolled her back beneath him and she parted her thighs, allowing him into the natural cradle of her body.
“You have a condom?” He whispered.
Aubree shook her head. “I’m on the pill. We don’t need one if you’re clean.”
“I am,” he promised.
“Me too.” She ran her hands up and down his back and he shifted, positioning himself at her entrance. They shared a sound of pleasure as he sank into her welcoming hot depths. He threw his head back as he withdrew before pushing back inside her.
“Harder,” she encouraged.
Matthew was happy to obey. He braced one hand beside her head and they gazed into each other’s eyes as he claimed her and she gave him everything in return. It rocked him to his core to see her face burst with delight when her orgasm hit. Her inner muscles clamped down around him and he nearly lost his own control right then. Not wanting to rush and hoping he could coax another release out of her, he slowed his thrusts. Soft sweet words were whispered between kisses and he hoped she could feel how much he adored her.
She arched against him as her body contracted around his shaft and this time, he couldn’t slow down. He listened to her sounds and when she cried out with a second climax, he roared as he let go inside of her.
Once their bodies stilled, he sank forward onto the bed and tried to catch his breath without crushing her. They were naked and tangled in the sheets; he couldn’ think of anywhere else he wanted to be in that moment. Matthew adjusted his position so they lay on their sides; he was still inside her as he pulled her limp, sated body close to his. He ran a hand along her shoulder, down her waist, over her hip and upper thigh as he watched her panting softly and staring at him. Her skin felt like satin and he never wanted to stop touching her.
“No regrets?” he asked.
Aubree shook her head. “You?”
“No,” he brushed the backs of his fingers over her cheek and her lashes fanned down.
“Tired?” he tried not to smile when she fought a yawn.
“A little.”
“Sleep,” he suggested gently.
“Will you still be here?”
“Do you want me to be?” God, he hoped she would say yes.
“Yeah, I do. That’s not weird for you?”
“It’s not, and I’ll be here.” He held her close until she fell asleep. He yawned and pulled the heavy throw blanket at the end of the bed over them both.
Tonight had been a labor of love in more ways than one and he’d enjoyed every minute of it. He was falling hard for this woman. Part of him was thrilled but another part of him was worried. Was he ready for a new relationship?

X’s and O’s
Aubree opened her eyes a little after dawn, comforted at the sight of her own room, yet something was different. The world spun a little as she felt a muscled thigh pressed to hers and a heavy male arm wrapped around her waist. A man had draped his body over hers.
Matthew… She really had slept with him.
Holy crap.
She started to move but froze. What was she supposed to do? She wasn’t sure what the protocol was after last night. She had asked him to stay the night, but had that been the right thing? Or was she letting herself get too entangled with her emotions? She should try to keep things casual between them, right? She was supposed to be getting out into the dating pool and seeing all the possibilities. Maybe it was a bad idea to be falling so hard for Matthew. She had only known him two weeks and yet she’d slept with him on what she considered their first official date.
Aubree pressed the back of one hand to
