would be such a turn-on for me?”
“I sure didn’t. But I’m damn happy to be in the tub with you right now.”
He grasped her hips and slid her across his aching cock. She drew in a gasping breath and reached up for the wall for support. “I like how that feels.”
“I like how you feel. Hot and wet against me.” He wanted to slide inside her like this, but not without a condom on. Which was going to pose a problem, because he was rock-hard and he needed her.
But this wasn’t about him, and he could ease her ache. He reached between them and slid his hand across her sex, making her moan again, and this time because it really was about sex. Her slick folds made his balls tighten as he teased her clit, then slipped a couple of fingers inside of her.
She gasped. “Rafe. Yes. Fuck me with your fingers.”
God, she was killing him.
She rode his hand, rocking against him with abandon while he watched her body writhe in a sexual dance. When she reached down and wrapped her hand around his cock, he groaned.
“Oh, fuck yeah,” he said. “Make me come with you, babe.”
It wouldn’t take him long. Watching her ride his hand and his fingers nearly broke him. Especially now, as she stroked his cock, twisting her hand around his shaft while she looked down at him, her gaze lost in a haze of pleasure as he fucked her with his fingers. His balls locked up tight against his body as he prepared to lose it.
And when her pussy squeezed his fingers in spasm and she threw her head back and screamed out with her climax, he let go, groaning out his own orgasm as he spurted into her hand, shoving his shaft forward over and over again until he emptied completely.
She fell on top of him, her body heaving breaths. He withdrew his fingers and wrapped his arms around her so he could hold her until they both came down from that magnificent high.
It took a while, but when she finally raised up to look at him, she had a satisfied smile on her face.
“I’ve never had a bath like that before.”
“Same. And now the water’s getting cold.”
They got out and rinsed off in the shower. Carmen towel dried her hair, and they went into the bedroom and climbed under the covers. Rafe pulled Carmen next to him.
“I had a great time,” she murmured, followed up by a yawn.
“I’m glad. Me, too.” He stroked her hair. “Too bad we have to go back tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
“We could run away.”
She let out a soft laugh. “Oh, sure. Neither of us has any responsibilities. No one would notice we were missing.”
“It would take them weeks to figure out we were gone. Since nobody loves us.”
She drew circles on his chest with the tip of her finger. “Exactly. We’re so unloved. We could be halfway around the world in your sailboat by then.”
“Wait. My sailboat? Don’t we have to win millions of dollars first?”
“Oh, right. I guess we’ll have to go get a lottery ticket in the morning. Then we’ll get the sailboat.”
“Because we’re guaranteed to win, us living a charmed life and all.”
“Right. Charmed. That’s us, Rafe.”
That was the last thing she said before she fell asleep.
Charmed.
He felt pretty charmed right now. This had been a damn fine day. Hell, ever since he’d hooked up with Carmen.
He didn’t even need to become a millionaire or have that sailboat anymore to feel like he had everything he ever wanted.
CHAPTER 22
CARMEN WAS IN HER OFFICE CATCHING UP ON REPORTS while eating her lunch when there was a knock on her door.
“Come in.”
Tess popped her head in. “Can I have lunch in here?”
She smiled at her friend. “You don’t even have to ask.”
Tess walked in with her sandwich and a soda. She closed the door behind her, then slid into the chair across from Carmen’s desk. “We’ve been slammed all day with patients, you’ve been buried in here with paperwork and we haven’t had one damn second to catch up since you came back from your trip. I need details. So, start spilling.”
“Details on . . .?”
Tess cocked her head to the side and gave Carmen a “don’t bullshit me” look. “You know what I’m talking about. Miami. You and Rafe. Come on, Carmen. I need to know how it went. You didn’t even text me when you got back yesterday.”
“Weren’t you and George both off together yesterday?”
“Yes. So?”
“So, I didn’t want
