began again. He probably wouldn’t even be all the way inside her before her next orgasm slammed into her. She slid her hands up his thighs and felt him flex into her just a little. She gasped as her lips stretched tautly around him.
    He shuddered and whispered, “I’m going to take this slow, baby, so it’s good for you. I don’t want you to be sore. You feel so good.”
    “You’re not hurting me.” She kissed him as she opened herself to him.
    As he began to flex and push forward, his phone whistled and hummed from the living room.

Chapter Four
    Rachel groaned in frustration at being interrupted. His head fell, and he let out a gusty sigh. He pulled away from her without ever entering and said apologetically, “That’s Mike’s ring. I’d better get it.”
    “The battery on my phone is dead. My parents may have called him when they couldn’t get through on mine,” she replied with a deep sigh. He was right. Rachel didn’t want Mike or her parents to worry because they’d decided not to answer the phone so they could continue with their lovemaking. It would have been sweet, but even sweet lovemaking under duress was not what she wanted for their first time.
    “Yeah.” He returned to the bedroom with his phone to his ear and climbed onto the bed. “She’s fine. No, she’s awake. Here, I’ll let you tell her. It’s Mike.” He handed her his cell phone.
    “Hello?”
    “Hi, Rachel. Your mom and dad called me. They got your message and tried your phone and got voice-mail. I told them you said the battery on your phone was running low.”
    “Were they upset, Mike?’
    “A little maybe, but I think they’re mostly worried about you. They’ll wait to hear from you in the morning, which technically it is now. They want to know if you need them to come back early. I told them I’d let you know. You’ll need to tell them where you’re at when you talk to them, okay?” The unspoken message in his words rang loud and clear. It was up to her to tell her parents she was staying with Eli.
    “Of course. Did they expect me to move back home?”
    “Didn’t say one way or another, but I think they trust you to make good choices. Don’t worry. They just want to make sure you’re all right. Are you and Eli okay?” he asked gently, not prying.

    “Yes, Mike. We’re fine.” She looked up into Eli’s eyes. He leaned forward, and his lips descended along her jawline.
    “Then I’ll let you go. I didn’t give them Eli’s number so call them by mid-morning or they’ll begin to worry,” Mike said then wished her sweet dreams and ended the call. She handed Eli the phone, and he placed it on the bedside table and lay back on his side.
    Propping his head on his palm, he gently slid his warm hand over the lower swell of her breast, drawing a shaky sigh from her. She put her forearm under her head and raised the other one to draw her fingers over his warm lips. He kissed her fingers, pressing them to his mouth with his hand.
    The mood had shifted even though they were both back in the bed, still naked. It almost felt like her dad was looking over her shoulder. Eli looked at her with understanding in his eyes.
    “Rachel, I’ve kept you awake when you should be resting. It will be morning soon, and you need to sleep some more. Would you like to wait?
    We can make love later if you want to, but I feel kind of selfish for wanting you, knowing your parents are worried about you and waiting for you to call them.” He covered her with the sheet.
    Rachel looked up at him and was surprised once again by his thoughtfulness. There was no way in hell she would have turned him down if he’d wanted to pick up where they left off before the phone rang. He’d noticed the shift in her mood and had acted accordingly, not forcing her to tell him no. There was nothing quite like parental worry and the guilt that followed for dampening the ardor. She admired and respected him for putting her needs and her
