breasts picked up speed, squeezing the globes, plucking at her nipples.
    “Put your hands on the mirror. Brace yourself.” Whether he’d noticed her arms had begun to tremble as she’d fought not to pull her weight against his neck, or he’d just decided enough was enough, she didn’t know or care. She braced her body, praying her sweaty hands wouldn’t fail her as he finally, finally began to fuck her in earnest. He moved his hand from her breast and threaded his fingers through her hair, met her gaze in the mirror.
    “Come for me,” he growled. “I want to watch you come for me.” He pinched her clit and she couldn’t do anything but obey. His fingers tightened their hold, keeping her still as he watched her reflection. She came hard and fast, an explosion that overtook her whole body. When her arms shook and her hands began to slide, he pushed her forward until her forearms rested against the glass. He gripped her hips and resumed his furious pace until he, too, came with a small shout. He pulled out, dropped to the ground, and pulled her to his side.
    “Didn’t you say something about a bed?” she asked, teasing her fingers over his chest.
    “I decided on the view instead.” He pinched her butt and she squeaked. “Why, are you complaining?”
    She pinched her fingers around his nipple, shaking it without any actual force. “Nope, no complaints.”

Chapter Four
    “And then we watched a movie,” Emma said, reaching a toe out to turn off the tub’s jets. Maybe recounting the story while in a bubble bath hadn’t been the best plan for relaxing, after all. It wasn’t just the hot water making her steam up. Not that she’d given too many details, but she’d certainly been thinking of them while telling her friend the edited version.
    “You watched a movie?” Taryn asked over the cell phone, sounding incredulous.
    “Well, what else were we supposed to do? We’d already had three amazing encounters in just a few hours. I think if we’d tried again we might have broken something.
    “Hmm, I suppose so, but a movie only lasts two hours. What did you do after that?”
    “He grilled steaks while I made a salad and then I left.”
    “I can’t believe he didn’t ask you to stay the night. You did give him your number, didn’t you? Don’t tell me you’re going to leave this as a one-afternoon stand. I don’t think I’ll be able to live with it if you do.”
    “Well, you’re safe for now. I gave him my number, and he gave me his. But he has to be at work at seven tomorrow morning and I needed to check into my hotel. You know I got this awesome deal from that website and it’s nonrefundable. Besides, I do have things I planned on doing here in Boston, you know.” She was beginning to think the scheduled trip to her club would be anticlimactic and unnecessary. She’d already gotten what she’d wanted.
    “Tell me you made some firm plans, though.”
    “We made tentative plans. He said he’d call me tomorrow.”
    “Call you? That’s it?”
    “Did you just harrumph?” Emma asked with a laugh.
    Taryn made the noise again. “Maybe.”
    “Look, Taryn, maybe it’s not the kind of thing you want to hear about, but hooking up with a hot guy for a hot encounter does not necessarily mean an automatic relationship. We’ll see how things progress. I’m not really looking for a serious boyfriend, not when I’m going to leave the state in a year.”
    “But—”
    “Taryn, let’s let it be for now, okay? I promise I’ll stop by your house on my way back into town. We’ll see where we’re at then.”
    “Well, all right.” Taryn paused and Emma narrowed her eyes at the charged silence. “I should probably tell you that Caleb checked him out.”
    She shot up, sloshing water over the side of the tub. “He
what
?”
    “Calm down, it’s not really a bad thing. He just spoke to someone he knows at the police department, asked her about him professionally.”
    “Damn it, Taryn, what if it
