I let out a cry, moving faster on his cock.

“God, I love watching you take me.”

With that, I flew apart. I threw my head back as the orgasm washed through me. I was still in the throes of pleasure when he reared up. I ended up flat on my back with Ro on top of me. He hitched his arms under my thighs and spread me. Then he surged back inside.

“Tessa.” It was part growl, part groan.

It only took three thrusts and he found his own release. I watched him ride it, heat in my belly, and he ground inside me. God, he was beautiful. His dark lashes lay against his cheeks, his cheekbones were flushed, and the tendons in his neck strained.

Then he collapsed, half on top of me, half off.

I lazily stroked a hand down his back.

Ro Langston was in my bed. I thought he’d look wrong here, but he didn’t. My room was feminine and cozy, and yet he somehow looked like he belonged. The conqueror who’d strode in and claimed his prize.

After we’d arrived back from Denver yesterday afternoon, Ro had gone to the Windward to check in with Caden and Piper. I’d been banned from returning until today, although I was totally recovered. I didn’t feel any ill effects from my poisoning.

While he’d been gone, I’d had coffee with Emily and played Monopoly with Haley and Caleb. I hadn’t expected to see Ro again, but he’d turned up at dinnertime and announced he was staying at my place.

We’d cooked dinner, watched a movie, then had fabulous sex in my bed.

This morning, with sunlight streaming in my windows, I’d woken him with my mouth on his cock, which had led to this morning’s fabulous romp.

“We need to get to the hotel,” he said.

“I need coffee.” I turned my head and grinned at him. Oh, shit. My chest swelled. He was gorgeous, hot…and not mine.

I couldn’t let myself forget that.

“You shower, baby, and I’ll put the coffee machine on.”

“I want coffee from Mountain Brew.”

He smacked a kiss to my lips. “I make a good coffee. You’ll love it.”

In his black pajama pants with no shirt, he sauntered out. I watched the delicious muscles and bronze skin as he did.

Shaking my head, I headed for the shower.

Afterward, I put on a gray skirt and pink shirt, and did my hair and makeup. It was my first day back and I wanted to reassure everyone that I was fine.

I headed down the short hall and heard a familiar giggle.

Crap. Sure enough, a shirtless Ro was in the kitchen with a grinning Haley. She was sitting on the counter, jabbering at him as he made coffee.

I froze, unsure what to do with the emotions hitting me. This looked right too.
