deep inside her wake up all over again. She gasped, her nails digging into his skin, and started to arch her hips again.
He claimed her mouth with a hot, ragged kiss, and slowed his movements, matching hers. Then they were together, moving as one, faster and faster, both of them surging toward climax. He hit his before her—she could tell by the way his body stiffened over hers and how he held his breath. How his big frame shuddered, even as he kept thrusting into her. It was those last, slow, deep thrusts that made her come, too, and the orgasm broke over her. Amy choked out his name and clung to him, letting the pleasure course through her body until she thought she would fall apart.
When the world finally righted itself, Caleb was still buried inside her, breathing hard. There was a light sheen of sweat on his tanned skin and he nuzzled against her neck, his hips jerking against hers. It was as if he couldn’t seem to stop, and she didn’t mind. She liked it. Each time he did, it sent little spirals of pleasure through her body, reminding her of how good she felt.
“Thank you,” he murmured against her neck.
That made her chuckle. “Why are you thanking me? I did that for me.”
“Dunno,” he confessed after a moment and lifted his head. “Felt like I had to say something. Thank you seemed polite.”
She laughed again, and then sighed as he rolled off of her and went to dispose of the condom. “That was great. I should be the one thanking you.” The blankets were bunched up under her back and she tugged at them, dragging them over her naked body. It was a little chilly in his cabin, though she was just now realizing this. “I guess I should be going home soon.”
He returned to her side, a frown on his face. “Why?”
Amy shrugged, snuggling down in the blankets. She needed to get up and clean up, but soon enough. For now, she was going to laze about in the afterglow for a few minutes more. “Party’s over. I figured it’s time for me to head out.”
“It’s late and it’s cold,” he said, sitting down on the edge of the bed and then sliding in under the covers next to her. He pulled Amy into his arms, and then her breasts were pressed to all that warm skin. “Stay tonight.”
Stay? She smiled at him, snuggling close. She breathed in his scent—slightly sweaty and musky but still wonderfully Caleb. Did she have to go home tonight after all? Donner was here with her, and it was the weekend. School was out for the holidays. She had nothing she had to do in particular. “What about our date tomorrow?”
“We can start it early.” He kissed the top of her head, stroking her arm. “The big plan was to watch Christmas movies together. We can do that in bed.”
“I suppose we can.” She lifted her chin, gazing up at him. “It won’t bother you to have me here all night?”
“I want you here all night,” he told her in a husky voice. “Every night.”
Such devotion made her stomach flutter with nervousness. Excitement, too. “Let’s start with tonight.”
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
It was the best lazy Saturday.
They made love again, using the last of the condoms she’d brought, and after that, they just touched and kissed constantly. In the shower, she made him come with her hands, he took her back to bed and made her come with his mouth, and then they curled up in bed together, exhausted, and watched It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and Love Actually. He grabbed some leftover sweets from the main house and brought them back to his cabin, along with a full thermos of fresh coffee, and if anyone had noticed her car was still out front, she hoped they’d had the decency to say nothing.
Judging by how red Caleb’s face was when he returned, though, she suspected they’d said plenty.
Even so, it was a lovely day. She curled up in one of Caleb’s shirts and lingered in bed while he walked Donner for her, and they talked about movies and Christmas and nothing in particular. It was just . . . lovely to spend time with him.
She was sad when the credits on the final movie rolled and she figured she needed to get home. With a sigh, Amy put her dress on and found her shoes and tried to fix her
