Her tongue swept his mouth. She loved the firm pressure of his lips, the way he moved his head to match hers. She lifted her hips, accepting all that he gave her.

Seth increased the tempo, plunging harder, faster, feeding her craving that grew more desperate with each driving thrust. Harper squeezed her thighs at his waist, trying to get closer, offering all to him.

“That’s it. Hang on.”

As if she’d let him go. “Right,” She broke off as a shudder ran through her body, taking her breath away. “H-here.” Lifting her head, she bit into his shoulder. The salty tang of his skin filled her mouth as she staked her claim.

Her body gathered, drawing tight in her core. He held her right on the edge as everything—the room, noise, taste—all blanked out but for his cock deep inside her and his piercing blue gaze holding hers captive.

He pulled out, leaving just an inch of him inside. A smile played on his mouth as she cursed then, with one brutal lunge, he filled her.

“Oh, God.” She cried out against his shoulder, overwhelmed by a frenzied explosion of bliss. Her mind went brilliant as pleasure filled every nerve in her body. The muscles in her hot center clenched with rolling spasms that only grew stronger. She was drowning in an overload of sensation as she felt the movement of his body—his chest against hers, his pelvis rubbing against her clit—each action adding another layer.

His face was a hard mask of concentration, as if he was fighting against himself. “Fuck.” He bit the word out. His body stiffened before shuddering with his release. Each twitch of his cock sent more ripples along her inner walls as she gasped for breath. Only then did she feel the heaving of his chest as he dragged air into his lungs.

Seth pressed his forehead into the pillow while she let her legs fall from around him to lay limp on the bed. No point moving. For now, she’d concentrate on finding her voice.

Whatever she had planned to say turned into a whimper as he withdrew from her warmth. He kissed her softly, running a thumb over her heated cheek. “Let me take care of the essentials, sweetness, then I’ll see to you.”

That sounded nice. “Bathroom’s next door.” She gave a weak smile, and let her hand slide down his back as he rose from above her and left the bed, giving her a glorious view of his naked behind as he walked out the door.

And truth be told, she’d like to see a view of his backside again—bare assed or covered by pants. Maybe she’d joke about that thought with him sometime later.

Her gaze widened. Such a wayward musing focused her mind. Later? Well, yeah. She liked Seth. Of course she wanted a ‘later’ with him.

She sank her teeth into her lower lip. Should she simply come out and say that to him? He was a direct kind of guy, so that seemed the best option. But maybe five minutes after sex wasn’t the right timing.

“Someone’s deep in thought.” Seth, naked and obviously uncaring of that fact, lounged against the doorway, a washcloth in his hand. “What’s on your mind?” He pushed away from the frame and sat beside her on the bed. With a gentle touch, he lifted one leg wide and softly wiped her pussy with the warm cloth. Heat filled her cheeks. Yes, they’d just had sex, but still, such…intimate attention was new to her.

“I want to see you again,” she blurted out. Wow, so much for picking her moments. “God, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to just, you know, put you on the spot after we’ve done the dance of sexy love.” She cringed. Far out, now she’d said the L word. “What I mean is—”

Seth chuckled and held up a hand. “Let me save you from yourself.” His eyes shone as his mouth stretched into a smile. “I’d like to see you, too, Harper. You just beat me to the words.” He dropped the washcloth on the floor and stretched out beside her as he dragged the comforter over them before pulling her into his arms. “Apart from the fact you’re intelligent, got a great sense of humor, and watching you choose what to eat is downright hilarious, there’s other stuff about you I want to discover.”

She craned her head back from where it lay on his chest to look up at him. “Oh, yeah?”

“For one, you’ve got a menu with seven dishes that’s apparently so bloody fantastic customers don’t ask for anything else.”

“Well,” she hedged, “I never said they didn’t ask for substitutes. It’s just that they aren’t offered.”

“Changing the script already, huh?” Seth leaned over her, way over so that his face filled her view. He had that gleam in his eyes again, which could mean a host of things, all good. “Just what else have you misled me with, woman?”

She made a dismissive sound in her throat. “Not a damn thing, handsome.”

He raised his brow at the name.

“I’m trying it out. We’ll see if the name sticks.”

His lips twitched. “I look forward to hearing what else you come up with. In the meantime, you still have a promise outstanding.”

She did? “What’s that?”

“Your assertion that chocolate cake tastes even better in bed.”

Warmth hit her belly. “That’s true. I should get right on that, huh?”

“Definitely. I plan on testing that theory rigorously.” He traced a finger over her lips to curl under her chin. “With chocolate cake, there’s so many ways you can end up dirty.”

She swallowed. “I, uh, can imagine.” Various ideas flashed in her mind, some holding more merit than others. “How, uh, long can you stay?”
