He nuzzled his way to the side of her neck and bit her earlobe.
“Hey.”
“Hey, yourself.” Lifting his head, he held her gaze.
The emotion shining there mirrored hers. “Are you scared?”
“Terrified.”
“Me, too. What if it’s really good?”
“I think it’s gonna be.”
She gulped. “I think you’re right. Wanna stop?”
He choked out a laugh. “Stop? Are you crazy?”
“It’s an idea. You haven’t even—” She gasped as he thrust deep and stayed there. “Wow.”
“Yeah.” He gulped for air. “I knew it. Perfect.”
“My fault. I’m the one who asked you to?—”
“Shh.” Dipping his head again, he kissed her, sweetly, lingeringly. Then he began to move.
She fell into his rhythm naturally, rising to meet him, pleasure flowing in an undulating stream. Her body was so intune with his that their breath synchronized, even when they began to gasp and pant as the tension mounted.

Opening his eyes, he gazed down at her flushed, beautiful face. “I’m happy.”
“Then why aren’t you smiling?”
“Why aren’t you smiling, good-time girl? You were whooping it up right along with me.”
“Of course I was. It was good.” She heaved a sigh. “Too good.”
“Exactly. Want to do it again?” He’d be a fool not to ask, since this might be the one and only time they’d be in this bedroom together.
“What if it’s even better? What then, smarty-pants?”
“I’ll take that chance, but first we have to regroup. Or I do. You can stay put.”
“I’m thirsty.”
“Me, too. It’s the champagne. But stay there.” He left the bed and headed for his bathroom. “I’ll take care of things and then get us some water.”
“Naked?”
