throat. "I can't hold back much longer," he groaned in her
    ear.
    "Then don't," she told him.
    Max reached over to his nightstand and quickly removed a
    small silver packet, making quick work of the condom. He
    moved to her side and nestled between her legs. Her hands
    guided him to her. "You're huge."
    "The more to pleasure you with," he said with a smile.
    Keeping her eyes locked to his, he plunged into her with a
    moan. Her tight body molded to his, her muscles squeezed
    around him and her hips began to move. "Perfect. You are so
    perfect," he exclaimed.
    Their hearts beat in tandem, their breath merged. Like
    him, her body heated and rose higher and higher. Fingers dug
    into his back, raking his skin. She was close again, so close to
    the edge he held back, praying she would come quickly.
    He felt her body shudder; her legs circled his hips. He
    caught her cries with his mouth until his body shattered in a
    million pieces. He called out her name in his release.

    Curled up beside Max, Janet allowed her system to come
    down to earth. He had taken her higher than she could ever
    remember going. She knew they had chemistry, knew the sex
    would be astounding, but this was different. Together they
    were nothing short of spectacular.
    "Humm," she purred while his hand traveled up and down
    her back. "Let me know if I'm alive or dead."
    "Alive, most definitely, alive." He kissed the top of her
    head, just as content to stay close to her as she was to him.
    "I'm surprised there isn't a harem of women in the wings,
    waiting for you to service them."
    His chest rumbled with laughter.
    "I'll bet you have a very full little black book."
    "I never understood the little black book theory. If a man
    can't remember seven numbers to dial than the woman isn't
    worth their time."
    "If there is more than one woman, it might get a little
    confusing. What happens if you dial Stephanie using Sally's
    number?"
    "Well, you'd better hope Stephanie and Sally are
    roommates."
    Janet slapped his chest. "You're terrible."
    "I don't know. The possibilities could be fun."
    She laughed in spite of his words. She wiggled out from
    under his arm and straddled his chest. "Well, I don't have any
    roommates, and you better not call me by any other name
    than Janet."

    His eyes soaked her in, his playful expression changed. His
    hands moved to her waist and ran up her sides cupping her
    breasts. "What about, lover?"
    "That's okay." Janet held her breath while he pinched her
    nipples. Her body responded and heat pooled between her
    legs.
    "What about, gorgeous?"
    "That's fine too." She felt him growing hard beneath her.
    "What about, beautiful?"
    "Okay, beautiful is good."
    He lifted her hips with little effort and placed her over his
    shaft. "What about, mine?"
    Slowly he lowered her until he'd buried himself deep inside
    her once again.
    "I like that!" Janet leaned over and started to move in
    rhythm with him. "Mine," she called out.
    His complete possession of her didn't go un-noticed. As
    they rocked together, Max's eyes captured hers. His playful
    banter slipped away and he replaced it with more depth and
    promise. Max's gaze delivered a profound reaction from both
    her body and her heart. As her body clenched and tingled
    with building passion, so did her awareness. Their relationship
    was moving incredibly fast but Janet wanted nothing to do
    with slowing it down.

Chapter Six
    Gorman crushed the paper with Philip O'Brien's address in
    his hand before throwing it to the floor of his car. Waiting for
    her to check on the misbegotten cat was proving more than
    he could endure.
    He knew she stayed with Ritter. Knew there was no way he
    could claim her on his property. So, here he would wait.
    Taking her out from under Ritter would be exactly what
    Gorman needed to claim his position as head
