have never wanted someone so much in my entire life.”
“That makes two of us.” She handed him a condom. “You might want to put this on.”
“Right.”
“Unless you want me to?”
Now there was a concept. But he’d save it for another time. “Thanks. I’ll do it.” He’d always been in charge of that because it kept him in control. He’d never trusted someone else . . . but on some deep, visceral level he knew he could trust her. That was a revelation in itself.
Once he’d rolled on the condom, he evaluated the gauzy thing she’d put on. The image had been stunning, but now he wanted it gone. He picked up a fold of the material. “Do we need this?”
“Not really.” She smiled up at him. “It was for effect.”
“I loved the effect. It brought me to my knees.”
“You mean like you almost fell down taking off your pants?”
“Yeah, like that.” He found a couple of ties that held the gown together and undid them. “But I want to feel your body against mine with nothing between us.”
“I want that, too.” She helped him slide the robe out from under her.
Once he tossed it away, he braced himself on his forearms and gazed down at her. Thank God for being nearsighted, because at least up close he could see the sparkle in her gray eyes and the eagerness, too.
She cupped his face in both hands. “Hi, there, Frazer.”
“Hi, there, Dulcie.” The heat coursing through his veins and the rapid beat of his heart urged him to take this woman and bring them both glorious orgasms, but he hesitated, charmed by the sweetness in her gaze.
“You were so understanding about my cat. I’ll never forget that.”
He smiled. “I won’t let you. I’m claiming full credit for how this worked out.”
“You’re going to brag about how you dealt with Hercules?”
“Yep.”
“Even though you know full well I’m the one who convinced him to leave us alone so we could do this?”
“Did you?” He eased forward until the tip of his cock was just inside her entrance. Then he eased back and pushed forward again.
She gasped. “Yes. It was all me.”
“Maybe.” He allowed himself to sink deeper into her warmth and watched the storm building in her eyes. “Or maybe we worked together to make that happen.”
Her breathing quickened. “You have a convincing way of winning arguments.”
“Hey, that’s nothing. How about this?” He buried his cock to the hilt and felt the shock waves rolling through her body.
She gulped for air. “Impressive. What else have you got?”
“Just this.” And he began to love her with slow, steady strokes.
“Not bad.” Sliding her hands down his back, she gripped his ass. Her words were breathy as she arched up to meet each thrust. “Not bad at all.”
A subtle tightening of her body told him she was building to an orgasm. And thanks to her boldness in the parking lot, he could hold off on his. Shifting his angle, he picked up the pace. Yeah, there. Right there. He’d found the combination.
Her eyes widened. “That’s . . . very . . .”
He bore down. Any second now.
She trembled and dug her fingertips into his butt. “Frazer. Frazer. ” She came fast and hard, her body arching and her cries loud enough to wake the neighbors.
Or the cat. Dipping his head, he kissed her, muffling her cries against his mouth. But he was too late. A scratching sound came from the door to her bedroom. Hercules was awake.
Chapter Six
F razer had made her lose her mind. That was the only explanation for it. The minute he’d started kissing her, she’d remembered the neighbors and the cat, but until that moment she’d been oblivious to everything except pure pleasure, a whole-body orgasm that eclipsed every other one she’d experienced.
Even better, Frazer continued to thrust while she settled back to earth, although he’d slowed down the program considerably. He lifted his mouth from hers but kept up the easy rhythm. “Hercules is –”
“I know.” Her heart
