He stroked her hip while he kissed a path from her neck to her collarbone, nipping playfully at her shoulder. The hand on her hip squeezed, and he moved it to stroke the inside of her thigh. He cupped her center. She pressed against his palm. His fingers went to work in a gentle circle. The momentum built. Mandy’s body tightened. Pleasure built in a tidal wave. Her body arched as all her muscles contracted until the release spiraled from her core through her limbs.

She just lay still for a minute until her heartbeat slowed and she could feel her toes.

Danny’s hand slipped between her legs again. “How about an encore?”

Before he could work any magic, she wrapped her hand around his impressive erection.

His body bucked. His face burrowed into her hair. His breathed into her ear. “Easy does it. I’m a little too turned on by watching you come right now. You’re so freaking perfect.”

And flattery will get you anything…

Mandy grabbed the condom and opened the package. She rolled it over him. Danny shifted her under him. She wrapped her legs around him and guided him home. The fit was perfect, as if he’d been made just for her.

He moved, sliding back and forth, stroking a response from the inside of her just as he’d coaxed an orgasm from her a few minutes ago.

“My God, you feel too good.” His face strained with the effort of holding back.

Mandy felt the pressure rise again. Her core tightened almost unbearably.

“Come on, baby. Ladies first.” Danny shifted higher, increasing the friction.

She closed her eyes. And her body imploded in a haze of sparkling lights.

He spasmed and sprawled, limp, on top of her. She lay still under his body, his skin damp with sweat, his heart thundering in her ear. His shoulder blocked her nose, and his weight on her rib cage kept her lungs from inflating.

She tapped his shoulder and wheezed, “I can’t breathe.”

He slid off of her. “Oh, sorry.”

“God, you’re gorgeous.” He plucked a wet twig from her hair. A leaf followed.

The chuckle in her throat nearly choked her.

“I’m serious.” His eyes brightened, and his mouth shifted into the wicked grin that had first melted her bones.

“Shut up and kiss me.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

As he did, it dawned on her that, though he wasn’t the first man she’d ever desired, he was the only one she also enjoyed all the time. She wanted him, sure. But she also really, really liked him. She wanted to do more than sleep with him again. She wanted to eat and talk and hang out with him, too. Waking up in the morning next to that sexy grin would be a nice bonus.
