“More.” She tilted her hips, changing the angle, tightening her legs around his waist. He gasped as he moved, pumping into her now, harder, deeper, faster, until she broke, tightening around him, pushing him to his own climax. He collapsed on her, burying his face in her neck as his body shuddered with release.

They lay there, wrapped up in each other for the longest time. Finally, Mikayla said, “Oh my god, Rafe, why did we wait so long to do this?” She was still a little breathless.

“Mm, dunno.” He didn’t want to move. He just wanted to lie there with her hands stroking his back and her hair tickling his face, the scent of her surrounding him. But as much as he wanted to, he couldn’t stay there forever, so he pushed up onto his elbows, gave her a soft kiss and rolled off, smiling as she gave a thoroughly relaxed sigh.

“You know what’s weird?”

“Mm?”

“That it’s not weird.”

“Yeah.”

“I mean, if someone had said to me a year ago, you’re going to have the hottest sex of your life with Rafe, I would have done a mental health check on them. I couldn’t have imagined it. It’s just so interesting. We’ve known each other for more than twenty years and I’d never felt the slightest twinge of attraction to you, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for you, yeah? So, why now? What do you think has changed?”

She stopped, obviously waiting for him to answer. All he could think to say was, “Really? The hottest sex of your life?”

He could almost hear her eyes roll as she said, “Jesus, McKenzie, get over yourself.”

He turned his head to look at her, his grin wide. He raised his arm so she could turn on her side and curl into him. “All jokes aside, though, it was very hot.” He thought about it for a long moment, trying to work through when it had all started for him. “You know what I think it was?”

“Mm, what?”

“Did you change your shampoo?”

“Huh?”

“Did you change shampoo? Because all of a sudden, I started noticing the way you smelt, and it was really beautiful.”

She raised her head, sliding her hand over his chest as she thought about it. “Hmm, now that I think of it, I did! This new, natural, organic, homemade, sugar free yada yada that Juniper got me onto.” Her eyes dancing, she continued. “You think that was it? My new shampoo is such a powerful aphrodisiac that it turned you from a mild-mannered friend to a hot, shagging, beast?”

“Yeah, that sounds likely,” he replied, grinning as she chuckled.

“It should come with a warning label, then.”

“Nah, we need to patent it, stat. We’ll be millionaires before the year’s out.”

“Good idea.”

“Seriously, though, I don’t exactly know what changed, but I’m glad it did.”

“Me too,” Mikayla replied, dropping her head on his shoulder.

They drifted for a long time on the afterglow, Mikayla stroking Rafe’s chest lazily as he ran his hand lightly up and down her side.

“You know what I want?”

“If it’s another shag, you’ll need to give me a few minutes.” He smiled at her chuckle.

“No, I want a ham and cheese toastie from Coco’s.”

“Great idea. You go and get it while I wait here.”

“Haha.”

“Go on. I promise I’ll go down on you when you get back.”

“Jesus, that’s tempting. But no, we’ve gotta take the dogs for a run. Come on, up you get.”
