can’t wait. I can’t take it. Spreading her legs, I draw her hips up, aligning my cock at her entrance. I don’t hesitate. I fill her up with long hard thrusts. Our bodies violently coming together with each stroke. She scratches at the fabric of the couch, desperately trying to brace herself. My fingers constrict around her hips, holding her still.
    “You wanted this, everything I had…” I pull almost entirely from her body and pause. “This…” I slam inside her. She’s so slick, smooth, and tight. She groans loudly, and the muscle in my jaw ticks. “This is me...” I pull out just enough before I plunge violently inside her again. “…vulnerable.” I growl as I push in and out of her body letting her pull me to my end. She pulsates around each stroke, and I can’t hold on any longer. I let go for her, give her what she wants, my fingernails pull across her hips as I come in a rush. The feeling is euphoric as it spills down my spine. Her body did this. Her body possesses mine.
    “You’ve destroyed me,” I whisper in her ear. My lips kiss at the pulse in her neck, my hand spreads against her stomach as I help her stand. Her back to my chest, we’re silent. The high of her starts to die down, and I let the fact that I just gave myself over to this fucking girl sink in. Destroyed is an understatement. I’m not sure who I am anymore.
    She turns in my arms and brings her gaze to mine. She almost looks shy as she lifts on her toes and places a sweet kiss on my cheek. Her eyes cast down, and I start to wonder if I’ve hurt her. Wasn’t this what she’d asked for? I quickly pull myself together and zip up my jeans. The buzz of the liquor is gone.
    I take her hand in mine. The warmth of her palm relieves my growing panic. She laces her fingers with mine, and I look down into the green pools of her eyes. “Was that—”
    “Perfect, sexy, amazing, mind-blowing sex? Yes… yes, it was.” The corner of her mouth turns up in a shy smile.
    “Stay over tonight.” It’s more of a statement than a question, but she nods. It doesn’t matter how much of herself she gives. It isn’t enough. I need more, and I need it now.

 
    “What does this mean?” I trace my finger over the letters on Cole’s rib cage.
    “ Nil nocere. Do no harm . It’s part of the oath we take as doctors.” His lips are set in a serious line as my gaze falls to his mouth.
    The dim light of his bedside table lamp illuminates his face in sharp shadows. His fingertips trace lines down my ribcage, along the curve of my hip, and back up again. The soft mattress beneath me, his touch… it’s next to impossible not to feel like this whole night is a dream, and at any moment I’m going to wake up. He’s lying on his side, me on mine, and we’re watching each other. It’s three in the morning and I have to be up and at work in six hours, but I don’t care. This night has been more than I ever thought possible.
    “Is it what you expected?” My lips spill all my secret questions. I love Cole’s appreciation of my body. His need to make me feel every last bit of ecstasy he has to offer. He’s finally let go, and now I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to let go of him.
    “I like being a doctor. It’s harder than I thought it would be. People can be… difficult.” My quiet laugh makes his brows narrow. “What?”
    “I meant us… me… is it what you expected?” I draw a line down the slope of his nose and place it on his lips. “Don’t answer that needy girl question. It’s late, my strong independent woman went to sleep two hours ago, and needy Bailey can be very annoying.”
    He wraps his hand around the nape of my neck and pulls me to his mouth. He kisses me gently and then pulls away. His eyes move back and forth as he searches mine. “None of this is in my plan. To be honest, Bailey, for the first time, I have no idea what’s coming next. And even though it scares the shit out of me, you make me want it, the
