kissed her.

Kiss wasn’t really a proper description for what he did. It was more like his mouth was making love to hers, and every time his tongue thrust into her, he shifted his hips, rubbing his hardness against her as well until she couldn’t stand it anymore. Breaking the kiss on a gasp, CJ dug her nails into his shoulders and twisted her head on the pillow. She’d drawn her knees up without consciously realizing it and now braced her feet on the bed and lifted her hips into the slow rub, trying to angle herself so that he’d enter her. She wanted him inside her, she wanted to finally feel him fill her, and when he fulfilled that request and pushed into her, her eyes shot open and a choked sound of pleasure came from her throat. Dear God he felt so good, she thought, and then she stiffened, her eyes shooting open and to him with alarm.

“Condom,” she gasped.

“On,” he breathed, and then kissed her again, his tongue and penis in sync as he thrust, pushing the worry away, along with everything else except that mounting excitement and need between her legs. But it wasn’t just between her legs. Her whole body seemed infused with it, hunger, excitement, need, want . . . It vibrated through her body, pulsing and echoing and pounding against every nerve, soaking every cell, until she was nothing but this, until she knew nothing but that she needed release before it drove her mad.

Mac was moving too slowly, almost torturing her with his slow steady thrusts as he tried to draw out their pleasure. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and, catching him by surprise, turned them both on the bed so that she came up on top. She saw Mac blink in surprise, and then he smiled and reached for her breasts. CJ grabbed his wrists as he began to caress and squeeze, using the hold to keep her balance as she began to move. She went slow for the first couple of strokes, but once she felt comfortable in the saddle, she began to increase her speed, raising and lowering herself, shifting her hips first a little one way and then the other. Then she stopped thinking and just moved as she wanted, riding him fast and hard and using his body to find her pleasure. It didn’t take long. To CJ it seemed like she’d just started when her release hit her like a freight train. She was vaguely aware of Mac’s shout as she threw her head back on a cry, but mostly she was aware of the pleasure overwhelming her and then she wasn’t aware of anything.

CJ woke up with a smile on her face . . . and sunshine warming her naked skin. The bedroom curtains were open, she realized, and turned her head to look out the window at a beautiful sunny day. The sky was blue with fluffy white clouds and the sun was high in the— CJ jerked her gaze to the clock on the bedside table and bit back a curse. It was eleven thirty. She was supposed to be at the diner at noon.

Panic coursing through her, she rolled out of bed, snatched up her suitcase, and dashed into the bathroom. She’d already noticed that it seemed to take a long time for the water to warm up here at Mrs. Vesper’s, but she didn’t have the time to wait for it to heat up this morning. CJ jerked the shower curtain half-open along the tub, turned the water on, and then stepped away long enough to pull out clean clothes. She hung them from the hook on the bathroom door and then gritted her teeth and stepped into the tub and doused herself under the icy spray.

God in heaven it was cold! Setting her jaw, CJ resisted the urge to jump out and determinedly set to work cleaning and shampooing. She was in the midst of rinsing before the water warmed up. Grateful for it, she turned under the spray, allowing it to rinse away the soap and shampoo she’d just applied, and warm her at the same time. She was just finishing when she heard the bathroom door open.

“CJ?” The shower curtain twitched at the far end and Mac peered around it to offer her a wide smile. “Good morning, beautiful.”

CJ smiled instinctively back, and then scrambled out of her end of the tub when he started to step in
