I searched her face, looked her in the eyes. There was so much I wanted to say, but what was the point? I was leaving in a few hours, and then…then, this was never going to happen again. “Can you come here, please?”

She looked down at her hands for a moment as if she were contemplating saying no to my simple request, but then crossed the short distance between us, stopping about a foot away.

“Closer, Darcy,” I whispered.

“Tommy—”

“Just bring your body over here…please,” I added, trying to soften the demand I had no right to make.

She moved in close. Close enough for me to smell her. Somehow, her scent was more intoxicating this morning. It was her, that expensive body oil, and her sweet sex scent, mingled with mine. I closed my eyes and breathed her in. Pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I know it must be jarring for you to confront this in the bright light of day, but I’m begging you not to push me away right now. Let’s stay in this bubble until I leave. Please?”

The tension in her shoulders relaxed, and she sighed. “Okay,” she agreed, then looked up at me.

“Thank you,” I said, grateful that she didn’t put up an argument. Neither of us needed to say those words out loud again. We knew what this was…even if I was having a hard time getting my heart and my body to agree. The look in Darcy’s eyes said she was struggling to do the same.

She gave me a sad smile. “Can I have a good morning kiss?”

My yes was delivered to her lips. I slipped my hands out of my pockets and wrapped my arms around her, drawing her body against mine. She moaned softly, welcoming my tongue into her mouth. Coffee, bourbon, and her…a taste I never wanted to forget. I sucked it from her lips and her tongue. Her hands grasped at my shoulders; she wanted me closer. I slipped my hand into her robe — yes, still naked. She growled her soft kitten growl, and I went from halfway hard to I-need-to-be-inside-of-you-right-now in seconds. Darcy reached for the waistband of my pants, but just as she undid the hook and bar closure, my stomach growled.

Loudly.

“Ignore it,” I grunted, palming her ass because why would I want to eat when I could have her again instead?

Darcy laughed and pulled away a little. “After the way I used you last night, it would be irresponsible of me not to feed you.”

“I’m fine. Use me some more, please. I can eat at the airport—”

“No, Tommy. Let me get some calories in you so that I can fuck you properly before you go.” She nuzzled her nose against mine then gave my lips a few more hungry nips before pushing me away.
