against her, reveled in it even. He felt so comfortable, so real…like he belonged right where he was. And that she belonged right where she was, too.

    His chest rose and fell against hers and she almost laughed as she thought about her “heaving breasts” like what she’d read in old romance novels. They were heaving all right.
    He gave one last shudder, rolled onto his side and drew her into his arms. He held her tight, her head under his chin. His cock was still inside her, still making her feel full and setting off little spasms in her core. Having her face pressed up against his chest slowed the dizziness in her mind until she felt the world gradually slow and her breathing calmed.
    For a long time they just cuddled, like they had once upon a time. Right now it felt like the years had fled by as if they’d never been separated. And at this moment she wondered how she could have let this go—let him go. Sure, they’d had their arguments when they were in high school, but in a healthy relationship that was normal.
    She’d just been so young, and so scared.
    Erin had always believed that things were meant to happen for a reason. Maybe they weren’t meant to be together until now.
    Whoa. She had to stop that train of thinking. This was one night, and could very well be just a good fuck to him.
    Their gazes met, and he pulled her closer to him so that his naked body was flush to her sensitized skin.
    “You can stay right here with me,” he murmured into her hair, “or you’re free to go.”
    She tipped her head up, looking at him in surprise. “Free to go?”
    He brushed his lips over hers then kissed her softly. “Only if you want to.”
    Dave’s words echoed in Erin’s head as their eyes met and held. Right now, even after one night, she felt so firmly his that it was difficult to imagine the world around them.
    She took a deep breath and smiled. “We’ll see,” she said.

    A serious look was on his expression and he pushed a lock of her blonde hair over her shoulder. “It doesn’t seem like so much time has passed.”
    “No, it doesn’t.” An ache deep inside her rose up. Again she wondered—had she thrown away something real, honest and true? Something that couldn’t be replaced?
    So many emotions whirled through her as she met his chocolate brown eyes. And so many memories.
    The first time they’d made love—beneath the Christmas tree, while his parents were at a holiday party, and Dave’s brothers had been out with some friends. It had been so magical, so special. The pain of that first slow entry had faded into the most incredible pleasure as they both lost their virginity. They fumbled, they laughed, they explored, but the love they had made had been true.
    Tears wanted to spill from Erin’s eyes and she buried her face against his chest. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, letting the loss weigh her shoulders down.
    Dave rubbed her back in slow circles and his voice was low and soft. “We can make up for lost time and get to know one another again. If you want to.”
    She opened her eyes and tilted her face to look at him again and smiled. “I’d like that.”
    Dave trailed his fingers down her spine to her buttocks and up again, causing her to shiver. “I’d like to ask you out on a date.”
    Erin laughed. “You don’t think we’re already beyond that point?”
    The corners of his mouth tipped up in a grin and he brushed his knuckles over her cheek. “This doesn’t mean our dates are going to be anything like high school.” He leaned down and kissed her before drawing back. “Although you have to admit, some of our dates were pretty damn hot.”
    “Two horny teenagers.” Erin returned his grin. “Now two horny adults.”
    He brushed his knuckles across her cheek again and his expression softened. “I’m serious. Dinner and a movie tomorrow night?”
