as he brushed his mouth over hers. Her eyes clouded with need then drifted shut and he deepened the kiss. He kissed his way down to her neck as he slipped his fingers beneath her shirt. He pulled it up over her head.
    When he saw the simple front closure bar, he sighed with appreciation. There were times he loved fancy lingerie on a woman as much as the next guy, but since his brain wasn’t working beyond getting them both naked, simple was best for now. He popped it open and his brain shut down.
    God, she was beautiful. Silken skin, pink nipples, and just the right size for his hands. He brushed his fingers over the tip of one, then cupped it. He dipped his head and took a hardened tip into his mouth. That one little sample of her had him wanting more. This wasn’t enough. He wanted to taste every inch of her.
    He kissed his way down her body, enjoying the curves, the smoothness of her flesh. When he reached her waist, he pulled her pants and panties off easily in one quick motion. Leo knew he was being a little indelicate, but the urgency to see her naked, to touch her bare skin overrode his better instincts. He tossed her clothes on the floor behind him. She lay naked before him, the soft glow of the sunset lighting her skin.
    He wondered what he did right in his life to have this moment with her. He skimmed his hand up one of her legs before following the path with his mouth. She shivered as he kissed a path up her legs. When he reached the pussy, he took a deep breath. Musky arousal with a trace of femininity. Her scent drew him in.
    The moment he touched his mouth to her sex, he was completely lost. He slipped his tongue inside her wet passage. The taste of her danced over his taste buds. Sweet, tart…intoxicating. Just like the woman. She molded her hands to the back of his head, urging him on. He barely noticed. All that mattered was Maryanne. Her needs. Her pleasure.
    He took her clit into his mouth and pulled it between his teeth as he slid a finger inside her. Her muscles clamped down hard on his digit and he hummed against her clit.   Leo could just imagine what she would feel like against his cock as he thrust into her. He added another finger and in that next moment she came apart, screaming his name. He wanted that again, he wanted to hear his name as she came again. This time though, he wanted to be with her, to feel all those muscles contracting against him.  
    Leo rose to his knees, and in the next instant, he realized he forgot to bring a condom.
    “Shit.”
    She laughed and he looked down at her. Her smile was soft and inviting and the joy he recognized caught him unawares. It tugged at his heart.
    “In the drawer, soldier.”
    “What?”
    “The condoms, I have some in my drawer.”
    He leaned down and gave her a large smacking kiss. “Gotta love military brats. They know how to be prepared.”
    Balancing himself on one hand, as he leaned forward to pull the drawer open. Within seconds he had the condom on. He slipped his hands beneath her back pulling her up and onto his legs, then lifted her and slowly started to enter her. He never took his gaze from hers as he eased his way into her tight passage. When he was finally seated fully inside of her, she leaned down to press her mouth against his. She slipped her tongue between his lips and he sucked on it as he started to move inside her.  
    It didn’t take long before his orgasm rushed through him. She shuddered against him, leaning her head back and moaning his name. The sight of her, and the way her muscles contracted against his cock erased the last of his control.  
    When he was spent, they fell together on the bed.

    “Oh, my,” was all Maryanne could say. Her brain was still not functioning well.
    “I will take that as a compliment.”
    She laughed and allowed the feeling of contentment to fill her.   He rose up to his elbow and looked down at her.   He was smiling but there was something behind the serious look in
