A crazy fracas broke out behind her eyelids. Inky swirls orbiting into a whirling vortex that spun faster and faster until it erupted into a perfect supernova.
He thrust on, full press. Her head thrashed. She cried out. His hips drove deeper. Stilled.
Finally . . . The silent howl of his arched neck. Muscles convulsing. The long shudder of his body.
And then the quiet.
They calmed. When she could breathe, she maneuvered for a more comfortable position only to send them both to the floor.
They lay there for a few moments, on their sides, wedged between the couch and his flying saucer coffee table. His finger circled the breast he’d neglected while he’d been busy with other parts. “You felt like a virgin.”
“It’s been a while.” She rested her head in the crook of his arm and gave in to the inevitable. “This can’t interfere with work.”
“Absolutely not,” he said, even more vehemently than she had.
“Because if it’s going to . . .”
“It won’t. We’re too smart for that. And we both know this had to happen. Now we’re going to see it through.”
“Lovers when we’re naked,” she said. “Business associates when we’re not.”
“I couldn’t have phrased it better.” He wedged up on one elbow. “Have I mentioned how much I like you? When I don’t feel like killing you.”
She smiled. “I like you, too. Most of the time, anyway, and that’s rare. I’m much too critical of y
our sex.”
He tweaked her nipple. “From the way you were screaming, I think my sex did pretty damn well for itself.”
“Definitely better than last time.”
“You aren’t going to let me forget, are you?”
“I’m not that decent.” She tugged hard on a piece of his hair. “You’d better not try that spanking thing again, because you won’t get away with it twice.”
“I’ll treasure the memory.”
She traced her fingers down the hard slope of his arm. “You should know I’m not usually so selfish. I believe in giving as well as taking.”
“You’ll have to prove that.” He nuzzled her neck. “Let’s hop in the shower so I can see if you’re all talk.”
“So soon?”
“I’m a highly trained athlete. I have powers far beyond those of mortal men.”
She definitely couldn’t argue with that. He helped her off the floor, and they headed for the open staircase, but before they got to the top, she had to make sure they were clear. “We agree, right? No games. We’ll do this until we get bored with each other or until another ravishingly beautiful movie star decides she needs some quarterback arm candy.”
He grinned and squeezed her rear. “It’s a deal. And no screwing around with your cop boyfriend.”
“Not until I’m done with you.”
His walk-in shower was bigger than four of her bathrooms. Its tumbled marble walls, multiple nozzles, and movable showerheads became a sexual playground for an inventive couple. Which they were.
“You’re definitely not selfish,” Coop muttered sometime later as he leaned against the wall to catch his breath.
Not selfish, but maybe stupid, she thought. She pushed the idea aside. She finally knew what she was doing. She’d set her boundaries and been up front about her needs. Most important, she was aware of her limitations when it came to having a relationship with a wealthy celebrity sex god, a man so far out of her realm of experience that the two of them barely occupied the same planet. She wasn’t beautiful or sophisticated. Didn’t care about clothes or makeup, and wouldn’t know how to swish her hair even if it were a foot longer. He was attracted to her out of novelty. And novelty was, by definition, temporary.
She gave them two weeks max before it fell apart. And she was okay with that. Two weeks of mind-blowing sex was perfect. But as she wrapped herself in an oversize bath towel, a shadow fell over one corner of her heart, a premonition that, when the sex stopped, she’d have lost a friend. One of the best friends she’d ever had.
