Within a minute, he’s grabbed a condom out of his glove compartment and I’m sinking down onto him with my hands braced on his shoulders for balance.

Our unplanned lovemaking session quickly turns frenzied.
Ashley’s pistoning her hips so fast, and I feel out of control.
With lust.
With desire.
With love.
Wait.
What?
Love.
How the hell did that word get in there?
I push everything out of my mind and hold tightly to Ashley’s hips while she urges us both toward a quick but intense climax.
And as I’m coming down from the high,I love thisis on the tip of my tongue.
There’s that word again.
Ashley’s staring at me.
“What?” I say softly.
I know her too well to miss the look in her eyes.
Curiosity.
And my girl loves to uncover a mystery.
But now’s not the time for confessions. I’m heading off on a business trip, and she’s getting comfortable with her new job. Whatever I want to say can wait.

The heat in Jared’s eyes as he looks at me is undeniable, but it feels like more than that. His cheeks flush pink, and his expression is so unguarded it makes me breathless.
I nearly burst into awkward chatter to cover up the intensity. But I can’t do that with Jared. So instead, I just stare at him like maybe he’ll say something. Anything.
“What?” is his way of breaking the silence.
“Nothing.” I kiss him quickly and climb off of him. “I should get going.”
I’m still catching my breath as Jared helps me find my underwear.
“How the heck did I manage to lose half of my clothes?” I look underneath the seats to no avail.
Jared holds up my pants and panties from the backseat.
