mistaking that fact. Gripping her waist, he helped her move. Every pass of her body over his engorged dick made him want to bellow with pleasure. He loved the sounds she made as he worshiped her breasts – as he moved from one to another, feasting on the tender flesh. Swirling his tongue, he tickled the tip of her engorged nipples – taking it between his teeth and biting gently.
“Reno. Reno!” Her fingers bit into his biceps as she leaned back further, thrusting her breasts into his face. Her scrubbing movements intensified as she rode him harder. Faster. Pressing and rubbing her silk covered femininity against the thick iron-hard ridge of his cock. He’d seen women pretend to come before and he’d seen some actually come after a great deal of work – but he’d never seen anything like this. On the verge of exploding himself, he watched his Journey fly apart in his arms. “Oh, Reno!” she cried as she began to shake, a beautiful red blush blooming on her skin. The sight, the sound, the feel of her finding satisfaction sent him over the edge. He’d never come in his clothes before, but this seemed to be the time for new things. Wrapping his arms tightly around her, he buried his face against her neck for a moment before capturing her trembling ruby lips in a kiss full of promise.
Gasping, Journey tried to catch her breath. She felt a bit embarrassed at how she’d lost control. Would Reno think less of her? “I got a little carried away, I guess.” Bracing her hand on the back of the couch she attempted to ease off his lap.
“Where do you think you’re going?” He made sure she stayed right where she was.
“Nowhere. Just to sit by you.”
“You are fine right where you are.” He cuddled her to him. “Rest your head on my shoulder for just a second before I go clean myself up.”
“All right.” She did as he asked, not pressing for any details. A sigh of contentment slipped from her lips. “I enjoyed that. Thank you.” In the next heartbeat, she could feel his chest rumble in amusement. “What’s so funny?”
“Your thanking me. Why, you just gave me a priceless gift. I should be the one thanking you.”
“Oh.” His admission made everything all right. “So, what now?”
“Well, I want to hold you for a minute or two, then change clothes. After that, we’ll eat whatever smell so good in the kitchen.”
“My aunt’s chicken and dressing.”
His stomach growled in appreciation. “Perfect. Then, I want to talk with you a little more about how we can proceed.”
She wondered what he meant, but he quickly clarified.
“I want you to show me how to use your phone and the computer. While you’re busy working with your oils, I can make myself useful doing a little research.”
Journey had to fight herself from feeling disappointed. She knew it was just like a woman to think that sex would change everything – but he’d been very clear about his intentions. He wanted her, but he also wanted to go back to his own time. “I can do that. I also have the box of papers Apple loaned to us.”
“Right. We’ll examine those also.” He brushed a kiss against her temple. “Afterward, we’ll do this some more, if you want.”
“I want that very much.” Journey wanted to cram just as much living into every moment as she could – just in case.

She patted a stack of paper as she made a note of the military units present at Five Forks on the day that Brig. General Winthrop was shot. “All right. What do we have here?”
“Those are the names of the top brass at Fort Macon. You said we could search to determine if they left any type of memoirs or papers. Some of them might mention who brought the initial charge against Cole.”
“We can access the internet for this, but we might have to visit some libraries in whatever cities these guys are from, Reno. Remember what we discovered in Fredericksburg? That information wasn’t available online.”
“Right, I remember.”
As he tapped the keys on Journey’s laptop, she couldn’t help but think how proud she was of him. He caught on so easily to things. In no time at all, he’d mastered the use of her phone. “You’re very intelligent.”
He looked up with surprise. “Why, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” She watched him with affection, then jumped a bit in her chair when she thought of something.
