Josh kissed her temple. “Are you all right?” His voice shook as he held his body still.

“Yes.” Clara gasped his name, using the word please as punctuation. Josh tortured her with pleasure until she dug her heels into his back.

He brought his hand down to where their bodies joined, applying steady pressure like an art form as he began to thrust. The wet slap as his hips met her ass echoed in her ears.

Her peak was so close, so close, so . . . “Oh God. I’m gonna . . .”

“Yeah?”

Her pussy tightened around him as she whimpered.

Josh pulled her closer with two hands on her ass and buried himself inside her, holding the heavenly position. Every cell in her body burst apart and fused back together.

When she reentered reality, Josh’s pupils were dark as pitch and his forearms strained where he supported himself above her.

He was trembling, she realized, watching her face.

“Josh?”

“Give me a second,” he said between his teeth.

True to form, she didn’t listen. She trailed her fingernails over the damp skin of his bare back, hard enough to leave marks.

Josh flipped them so that she was the one on top with so much grace her jaw dropped. The change in position seemed to release any reservations he’d maintained because he brought his hands to her hips and ground her body down on his with vigorous intent. She recognized that figure eight. The new angle made her see stars. He was touching parts of her she hadn’t even known existed.

The intensity with which Josh thrust into her made her wild. “You’re so beautiful. I can’t fucking stand it.”

Clara reached up and cupped her breasts, taking her nipples between her fingers and mimicking his earlier ministrations. Josh’s eyes raked a path from her face down to her breasts to where their bodies came together. Until finally, he groaned, jerking his hips for a handful of final snaps.

Clara smiled, catlike, against his shoulder. He brought his hands to her back, tracing soothing circles across her shoulders until she sat up and pushed her hair out of her eyes.

He reached up to brush her cheek, letting his hand linger along the side of her jaw. “I’ve wanted to do that since the first moment we met.”

“You said you thought I was a cat burglar.” Neither of them could quite catch their breath.

“Yeah.” Josh ran his hand down her spine. “I was gonna let you burgle me.” Bringing his palms to her waist, he carefully detangled their slippery limbs.

As she lay on her back next to him, Clara pointed and flexed her toes under the covers, testing to make sure this body still belonged to her.

“Are you hungry?” Josh sat up and playfully sank his teeth into the skin where her neck met her shoulder. “Because I’m starving.”

God, he’s hot. So hot part of her wanted to pause and take a picture so that someday when she was old and gray she could remind herself that she’d once gone all the way with such a veritable smokestack.

Somehow she’d earned this oasis with a man who made her feel divine. If only she could keep him. “I could eat.”

“Great. I know just the place.” He grabbed his pants off the carpet.

“But it’s almost three. Nothing’s open.”

He walked to her closet and tossed her a T-shirt and her overalls. “Oh ye of little faith.”

Clara caught the clothes and smiled, remembering his affinity for the outfit. “I have to be up for work in a few hours. Toni’s got a big fund-raising event and it’s all hands on deck.”

Josh’s hands stilled on his waistband. “Right. Sorry.” He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

The soda-can feeling returned. Bubbles of joy bloomed from her toes to the tips of her fingers. Tonight didn’t have to end. Not if she didn’t let it. “Let’s go.”

Someone else could worry about her future. About repercussions. About pain.
