her, and any thoughts about past traumas had no place in the here and now.
He shoved the fabric of her T-shirt up to her neck and lowered his mouth to suck and bite her breasts. One hand caressed even as his mouth teased.
She slid a hand between her legs and into her panties, barely touching her clit. A gentle wake-up call because everything else going on right now was so spectacular there was a good chance that when she did start teasing herself for real?
Tonight might be quick.
It was better to not think about it. It was better to just feel, and oh, there was so much to enjoy. So much to be distracted by.
Somewhere in the background she swore she heard a door open and close, but Zach was murmuring words against her skin. Swearing, actually. Also, groans and moans and a noise as if he’d just consumed something absolutely delicious.
Her T-shirt had vanished, her panties as well. Her fingers where she played between her legs were wet. Her own touch wasn’t going to be enough, though.
“One minute.” She rolled away. Zach grasped after her, cursing in dismay.
She went instantly to her underwear drawer, pulling out the bag where she kept her toys. Tonight wasn’t about prolonging anything. Tonight was about getting down to business. She grabbed a straight, no-nonsense vibrator and rejoined him on the bed.
She wiggled under his body, refusing to feel embarrassed. “Sorry. Next time I’ll be better prepared.”
He had one brow raised in a fine Vulcan imitation. Zach held out a hand. “May I?”
She passed him the vibrator. “I’m going to drive tonight,” she warned.
That got another soft chuckle even as he twisted the end of the device and set it rumbling. “Don’t worry. I understand how possessive people can get with their toys. I don’t let just anybody drive Delilah, either.”
His classic convertible. Julia snorted. “Exactly the same thing.”
Zach put the vibrator against his lips, licking slowly.
The pulse of heat that struck between her legs was on level with a mini orgasm. Then he lowered the toy between her legs, slipping his fingers out of the way as she took hold.
The instant she put the business end against her clit, a loud groan sounded from beside her. She glanced to the side to see Zach’s face contorted as if he were in pain.
He was staring between her legs, his mouth hanging slightly open as he panted. “Fuck. That is so goddamn sexy.”
He slid a hand into his boxer briefs and curled a fist around his cock.
Another shudder took her. “Let me see.”
It seemed tonight would be one of the rare times she came quickly. It didn’t happen often, but this was a good night for it. Julia rejoiced in the quick and dirty release barreling toward her at freight-train speed. Between the vibrator strategically placed where she needed it most, and Zach very willingly shoving down his briefs—
His knuckles had gone white, his grip tight as he pumped over his length. He was up on his knees, close enough he could drag the fingers of his unoccupied hand over her thigh. Knuckles stroking her belly and up to her breasts.
His gaze fixated on her fingers as she brought herself to the edge.
Tension coiled inside, and Julia ignored everything that was strange about the setup. Focused instead on the pleasure streaking in like lightning. She gasped, hips pulsing upward. Switching her gaze between his face and the steady beat of his hand.
Muscles tensed, his abs were a work of art, but it was the sight of his cock peeking out between his fingers over and over combined with the relentless pressure of the vibrator that sent her over. “Oh my God. Zach.”
Zach’s rapid pace faltered. Curling tighter toward her, a steam-whistle type gasp of her name escaped his throat as he came. He was close enough the shot hit them both. Semen splashed in lines over her belly and his arm and fingers where they splayed against her skin.
He collapsed onto his back beside her, chest still heaving. They lay there silently for a few minutes.
That had been unexpectedly hot, and decidedly dirty. Exactly what she’d been hoping for.
Julia felt every inch of the smile stretching her face, and it was impossible to keep the gloating tone out of her voice. “Well. That was fun.”
He twisted his head far enough she could see him wink. “I sure thought so.”
Enough endorphins were floating in her system that Julia was tempted to just grab a sheet and
