He slid lower and spread her thighs. Lifted them onto his shoulders as he drew in a deep breath. “God, Alex, you smell like heaven. I can’t wait to taste you.”

He put his mouth to her, licking delicately. Traced the tiny bud that had her hips rising again. When he began to suck, she cried out in surprise. Her climax built quickly, until she exploded with a scream she tried to muffle with a pillow.

As he pressed the flat of his tongue against her, he took the pillow from her hands. Tossed it away. He held her hips as she writhed against him, finally falling onto the other pillow, her arms splaying out beside her.

Gideon eased away and slid up to draw her close. “I like to hear the sounds you make,” he said, nuzzling her neck. “I almost came myself when you screamed.”

“That was all about me,” she said, running her hands over his broad, muscled back. Loving the way those muscles trembled when she touched him. “Yoda needs to disappear. Now.”

“I love your bossy side, Alex Conway,” he said with a grin as he slid off the patterned briefs.

She reached down, curled her fingers around him, and leaned down. She wanted to taste him, too. But he must have realized what she planned, because he held her back. His hands shook where he gripped her arms, and he sucked in a breath. “Not this time, bae,” he panted. “I want to come inside you.”

She lifted her head, saw that his eyes were dark. Hungry. She was pretty sure her own eyes looked the same. “Do you have a condom?”

“In my wallet.” He fumbled on the night table between the beds and pulled out a foil packet. Ripped it open and slid the condom on. Then he slid over her and touched his tip to her opening.

Just that tiny touch made her gasp. She wanted him inside her. She needed to feel him moving. “Now, Gideon,” she whispered. “Please. Inside me now.”

He moved infinitely slowly, until she was desperate to feel him inside her. “Faster, Gideon. Please.”

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he murmured as he kissed her. “I know it’s been a while for you.”

“You’re not hurting me,” she said. She grabbed his ass and held him as she bucked into him. She gasped when he filled her. She was pretty sure he gasped, too.

They moved together, as if they’d known each other for ages. Done this many, many times. Knew each other’s bodies as intimately as they knew their own. Pressing her lips to his, she gasped into his mouth.

When she felt her climax building again, she whispered, “Faster, Gideon. Harder. I’m so close.”

He groaned and shifted. Thrust several times hard, and she came with another scream, holding tightly to Gideon.

He thrust a few more times, then came himself. Collapsed on top of her, but quickly flipped so she was on top of him.

She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him tenderly. Let herself taste him. Then nuzzled into his neck, satiated and relaxed.

This is differenta tiny voice murmured. New. You’ve never felt like this after sex. It was a little unnerving.

Danger signs flashed, but they faded away when Gideon pressed kisses to her head. Swept his hand up and down her back. When she shivered, he reached down and dragged the duvet over them. The rise and fall of his chest beneath hers soothed her. Settled her.

Cocooned in safety and comfort, she let go of her worries. Let go of everything but the sensation of Gideon curled around her. The last thing she thought before she fell asleep was that she’d had no idea sex could be like this.

It was still dark outside when Gideon woke. When he realized Alex wasn’t sprawled on his chest, a sense of loss pierced him. Made him draw in a deep breath. Then he realized he was curled into her. Her ass was tucked into his hips, and he’d thrown his arm over her waist. He held her tightly against him.

He lifted his head and stared down at her. Tangled red hair hid her face. Her body was lax, her breathing slow and even. She was deeply asleep.

She probably hadn’t slept this soundly since she fled Evanston.

For a long moment, he allowed himself to savor the feeling of having her sleep next to him. Closed his eyes and remembered everything they’d done last night. They’d had sex again before they’d fallen asleep, and every moment was imbued with tenderness. Care. And heat. Lots of heat.

Don’t get used to it, buddy.

This had to be a one-time thing. He was supposed to be protecting her. He couldn’t let his need for her, his longing, cloud his senses. Blur his thinking. He needed to focus only on getting Alex safely to the compound near Helena.

And that started by getting out of her bed. Right now, before his resolve weakened.

Closing his eyes, he removed his arm from her waist. Slid away from the warmth of her body. The icy cold sheets on the other side of the bed shocked him fully awake.
