Amy put her finger over his lips. “You’re very good at reading signs.”

He smirked. “I’m even better at other things.”

“Anybody could say that.” She put her hand on his nape, pulling him closer. “How about you show me what you’re good at?”

“I thought you’d never ask.” Joshua captured her lips and kissed her.

Joshua rolled over Amy, while he kissed her deeply. Damn, he’d missed feeling her body molding to his, her lips yielding to his demand for a passionate exchange. At first, when he’d brought Amy back to his apartment and had seen her face in the harsh light once more, he’d actually contemplated sleeping on the sofa. But the moment she’d stepped out of the bathroom, everything male inside him had overridden his perception of outward beauty. Instead, his sex drive had taken over, and he’d seen only one thing: a young woman who welcomed his touch. Instantly, his cock had turned as hard as an iron flagpole. There was no turning back now. All he could think of was making love to Amy, no matter the consequences.

Amy’s lips were soft, and her tongue responded to him with languid strokes. He felt her hands on him, one on his nape, pulling him closer, the other on his butt, stroking him. Just like the previous night, she wasn’t shy at showing him what she wanted from him. She didn’t toy with him, didn’t pretend, didn’t tease like other girls. She was straightforward, not hiding that he excited her, a fact he deduced from her moans of pleasure and the gentle rocking of her pelvis against his.

The soft glow of the bedside lamp, the only light source now illuminating his apartment, bathed them in a romantic glow. Joshua brushed one hand over her breast and noticed that her nipple was hard. Loving the feel of it, he squeezed the round globe in his hand, the nipple rubbing against his palm. The contact sent a shiver down his spine and made his cock twitch in anticipation.

Amy molded her body to his, asking for more caresses, and he was only too happy to comply. He didn’t want to think about where things would go from here, how he would proceed tomorrow, because right now he didn’t want to make decisions. All he wanted was to find pleasure with the woman in his arms, and give her the same pleasure in return.

Slowly, Joshua released her lips and lowered his face to her breasts. He licked over one hard nipple, before sucking it into his mouth, while he kneaded the other one in his palm. Below him, Amy arched her back, silently asking for more. He sucked her nipple into his mouth, loving the strangled moan that rolled over Amy’s lips in response. He smiled against her skin and lifted his head by an inch.

“Easy, baby, I’ll give you what you need.”

Because he knew what she needed right now: to forget the troubles of her life and let herself fall.

“Joshua, let me feel you inside me,” she begged.

And even though he knew he should extend their foreplay, he couldn’t resist her siren call.

“Anything you want,” he murmured and reached for the bedside table.

From the drawer, he retrieved a condom and rolled it over his erection. Then he turned back to her, and noticed Amy’s eyes shine with lust and passion. The green of her eyes was even more vibrant than the previous night, even more beautiful. He realized then that it was her eyes that drew him to her and made her marred skin melt into the background, out of focus, forgotten.

Amy spread her legs wider, and without hesitation, he accepted the space she’d made for him. He adjusted himself, then drove his cock deep into her, seating himself to the hilt. Warmth and wetness greeted him.

Amy gasped. “Oh!”

“You all right? Too fast?”

“No, perfect. Just like the rest of you.”

His chest filled with pride at the knowledge that the woman in his arms approved of him wholeheartedly.

“Good.” He pulled out halfway, then plunged back in and found his rhythm.

Amy moved with him, her hands gripping his hips tightly now, as if she was afraid that he’d stop.

He dipped his head to hers. “I love being inside you.”

He didn’t give her a chance to reply. Instead, he captured her lips again and kissed her deeply. He poured every ounce of passion into the kiss, while his body moved in sync with Amy’s, separating and coming back together in such perfect rhythm that to an outsider it would have looked as if they’d done this a million times before. But he was only just getting to know Amy’s body, and he registered every clue her responses gave him to adjust his movements to her needs.

He tightened the leash with which he held on to his self-control, because he didn’t want to come before her. But he knew enough about women to know that it wasn’t always easy for a woman to find release. Maybe this position wasn’t quite right for her.

Joshua pulled out of her.

Panicked, Amy stared at him. “Joshua?”

“Get on your hands and knees, baby,” he ordered.

The panicked look on her face vanished, and she turned around and got on her hands and knees. Joshua got behind her and gripped her hips, then drove deep into her.
