mine. I let him take them off; the only sound in the gym was our erratic breathing and the thud as the gloves hit the floor. I resumed my position on the ropes and sat on the edge of the canvas. My eyes never left Curtis as I watched his eyes flash with barely-contained control, lust and temptation. I wasn’t backing down.
    He stepped closer and I opened my legs to let him stand between them. He wrapped his hands over mine and leaned closer.
    “You want to play dirty?” He whispered in my ear, sending wild heat spreading through my body until it settled as a searing ache between my legs. “I’m the one with the strength.”
    “Prove it.”
    He groaned, low at the back of his throat and pulled me off the side. His superhuman legs carried us with ease up to his flat so quickly, there was no time to change my mind, even if I wanted to.

    Men are confusing creatures. And they think we’re the crazy ones…I bought my ticket to Crazy Town…economy, because I was broke.
    March 1 st , 2003.
     
    Curtis dropped me to my feet as we fell through the final door and separated ourselves from the outside world.
    He stopped, just for a second, before his lips crashed to mine and his hands fisted the sides of my t-shirt. He tasted good; like peppermint from the pack of mints he kept in the gym office. The faint smell of sweat from his exertions gave him a virile edge that made me grip the bottom of his shirt and pull frantically. He raised his arms and our lips parted just long enough to get it off. My hands found the smooth planes of his abdomen and as I traced the contours of his body, his mouth moved to my neck and his teeth grazed the sensitive flesh.
    I knew his flat like the back of my hand; I gripped the back of his neck and moved us towards the bedroom. I couldn’t afford him any time to change his mind. I wanted him like I needed my next breath, which caught in my throat as he took my ear between his teeth.
    “Do you want this?” He breathed and a shiver rippled down my spine.
    “Yes.”
    His mouth found mine again and our tongues stroked and caressed. He tore my t-shirt down the middle with ease and it tickled my arms as it fell and pooled at my feet. We kicked our shoes off as we edged closer to the bed and tumbled onto it.
    Curtis settled between my legs as I smiled up at him, and he stroked my hair away from my face.
    “You’re beautiful. You know that?”
    “I thought I was cute?”
    I shifted beneath him, searching for friction to ease my need.
    “You are,” his hot mouth traced my neck and travelled between my breasts.
    “And adorable,” his stubble scraped the lace of my bra as he moved lower.
    “And funny,” he kissed my stomach and my lips parted.
    “And smart,” his tongue dipped into my navel and my hips bucked in response as his hands fluidly undone the tie on my gym shorts.
    “And sexy,” I lifted my hips so he could take them off.
    My eyes rolled as he placed a kiss on each of my hip bones. He moved back up my body, leaving a trail of wet kisses and I squirmed beneath him. He swallowed my moan as he took my mouth with his and pulled the lace of my bra down so my breasts could fill his hands.
    I felt the desire soak my underwear. Two layers of cotton were all that separated our bodies and I felt him against me as I rolled my hips to meet his hard length. A groan travelled from his mouth to mine. I was a mess of aching need as he sat back and pulled my underwear down my legs, kissed the ball of each foot as he pulled off my socks and his hands slowly travelled higher. I knew I was dripping. I knew he saw it. The look of carnal delight that flashed across his eyes as he looked down at my glistening flesh gave him away.
    “Tell me one thing,” he rasped, easing a finger inside me and clenching his jaw as I moaned freely and lifted my hips for more. “Tell me you’ve done this before.”
    I bit my bottom lip and looked down at his tight body. It was the most tense I’d seen him; proof he
