so he could enjoy every last pulse of her body around his.
    Panting heavily, he didn’t want to move. Hell, he could barely talk. He doubted walking would be possible for at least a few more minutes. Good thing neither one of them had to go anywhere anytime soon. At least he truly hoped he wouldn’t be going anywhere, because Luke could happily spend the rest of the night pressed against Annie’s warm body. He realized she was being very quiet except for her rapid breathing.
    He rose on one elbow so he could see her face. “You okay?”
    Annie nodded. “Yeah. I’m more than okay.”
    Luke smiled and stroked her face. “Good.”
    After all, there was still one more condom left, should the need arise. He truly hoped it did. In fact, Luke felt something rising again already…
     
     
    “Well, well, well. Good morning, Luke.”
    “Morning.” What was up with Mustang? Luke didn’t know and was kind of afraid to guess.
    “So Aaron told me he knocked on your door this morning and there was no answer.” Mustang’s eyebrow rose expectantly.
    Shit.
    “I uh, woke up late. I must have been in the shower when he knocked.” Luke cursed himself for not coming up with an excuse in advance. But then again, who knew he’d need one?
    What the hell was Aaron doing knocking on his door anyway? He’d never done that before. Oh, wait. Aaron had Luke’s gearbag, but why did Mustang care?
    Okay, Luke would admit he was usually up before everyone else so he was the one doing the knocking. Of course, he’d never been up half the night having sex before. Even when Lilly had been with him, they’d been a couple for so many years that they’d do it once if at all and then go to sleep. They’d certainly never had the marathon session he and Annie had. At least not in recent memory.
    Somehow thinking of Lilly right after he’d been with Annie seemed very wrong. Lilly was his past. He would remember fondly the time they’d had together, and a part of him would always love her on some level, but it was over now. Annie was his present and with any luck she’d be a part of his future too. Meanwhile, Mustang was still looking at him with an amused expression.
    “What?”
    Mustang shrugged. “Nothing. I just think it’s funny, is all.”
    “My oversleeping is funny?” The moment the words left his mouth, Luke got the feeling he shouldn’t have asked.
    “Yup, it’s quite a coincidence, because for the first time in all the years I’ve known Annie, she was late getting to the arena. Funny, isn’t it?” Mustang knocked his hat back a bit and glanced past Luke’s shoulder. “Oh, look. Here’s our little Annie now. Hey there, darlin’. You’re looking mighty pretty this morning. All bright eyed and bushy-tailed.”
    Luke spun to see her approach. She looked as if she’d like to turn tail and run, but it was too late.
    Annie’s eyes cut from Luke to Mustang as her face pinked. “Uh, thanks, Mustang. Good morning, Luke.”
    Between how adorable she looked when she blushed and the memories of the night before that assaulted him, Luke couldn’t hide his smile. He didn’t even care if Mustang saw it.
    “Morning, Annie.” Luke nodded to her and tried not to smirk too big as he remembered how he’d actually said good morning to her. He was sure she was thinking of the same thing when her face turned a deeper shade of red.
    “All right, then. I’ll leave you two to discuss…something. See ya’ll later.” Mustang tipped his hat in Annie’s direction, shot Luke an I-know-what-you-did look and then was gone.
    He watched the door slam behind Mustang, leaving them alone in the hall. With no reason not to since there was no one there to see, Luke reached out and ran a finger down Annie’s arm. He watched her shudder from his touch. That reaction, combined with the look of lust in her eyes, nearly had him backing her into a broom closet somewhere for a quickie. He swallowed hard and tried to get a rein on his libido.
