“Neither. I’m in the middle.”
Her sultry, intimate tone sent fire racing through his veins. Without sight, his hearing sharpened, picking up her rapid breathing and the whisper of her body moving against the sheet. Ripping open the condom package sounded like the whine of a buzz saw.
She responded with a low chuckle. “Not wasting any time, are you?”
“No, ma’am.” Her laughter and comment helped him pinpoint her position. Tossing the wrapper over his shoulder into the main room, he stepped sideways along the narrow space between the foot of the bed and the wall.
Was this the middle? Seemed like it should be. “I can’t see a thing. I don’t want to put my knee on your foot.”
“Come on down, cowboy. I’ve cleared the runway. You’re free to land the plane.”
The vivid invitation almost undid him. He couldn’t say why darkness turned this simple position into an erotic adventure. But he trembled with eagerness as he slid between her open thighs.
Guided by her breathing, he braced his arms on either side of her, leaned down and feathered a kiss over her lips. His cock throbbed with impatience as he fought for control. When he could trust himself not to come, he lowered his hips and sank into her warmth.
She wrapped her arms around him with a sigh. “You made it.”
“Barely.” He clenched his jaw. “Hold still or this’ll be over really fast.”
“Having fun?”
“Big fun.” He gulped for air. “Complete darkness is a turn-on. Who knew?”
“Not me.”
Lowering his head, he kept his hips still as he nibbled on her mouth some more. “Enjoying yourself?”
“Uh-huh. Since I can’t see, it’s like I have more nerve endings.”
“Right.” He tested his self-control, easing back and gliding in again. Brushing his chest lazily over her taut nipples created an erotic tingle he might have missed if he’d been able to see her.
He did it again, savoring the friction, her quick little breath in response. “Ready to go for it?”
“Oh, yeah.” She wrapped her legs around his. “So ready.”
“Then hang on.” He began to thrust, slow and steady at first, then zeroing in on her sweet spot and pumping faster.
He’d never made love to her without being able to look in her eyes. Without that, he tuned into her body, reacting to the way she arched into him with each stroke, intensifying the jolt of pleasure as the tip of his cock touched the back of her womb.
The tightening began, a gentle squeeze that gradually became stronger. The pressure grew in his balls as his climax shouldered its way forward.
She was panting now, gripping his glutes as the liquid sound of their movements increased the ache in his groin. Cocooned in the darkness, her legs entwined with his as he drove home again and again, they moved as one.
His ragged breathing synchronized with her rhythmic gasps. With her first spasm he let go, plunging up to the hilt. Boundaries disappeared as orgasmic waves overtook them, tossing them in the same warm, salty, rolling sea of release.
Pressing his mouth against her shoulder, he muffled a deep, heartfelt groan. She didn’t cry out, but her fingers dug hard into his glutes as she quivered beneath him.
He didn’t have to guess as to whether she’d had a good time. In the dark, absorbing every sensation, he knew her in a way that went far beyond the bond they’d shared five years ago.
He couldn’t stop that bond from growing stronger even if he tried. And he didn’t want to try. This was meant to be. If he only had three nights, he’d make every single moment count and consider himself a fortunate man.
Lifting his head he sought her lips and delved into her mouth with a kiss of deep gratitude. Her soft moan made him wish he’d prepared for more than one round.
He ended the kiss slowly, drawing away with reluctance. “I have to?—”
“I know. Watch the steps.”
“I will.” He chuckled. “Can’t afford to trip.” He took his time leaving the bed and navigated the steps with great care.
