He planted a peck on my nose. “If you say so.”

“I do say so,” I said with a firm look.

“In that case…”

“In that case what?”

“I’m going to be inside you again in about a minute, so if you want me to put on a condom, now’s your chance.”

I fake gasped. “You brought condoms to our weekend getaway? I am shocked.”

“Well…I, um—I mean—I always carry condoms. You never know what’s going to happen.”

I lowered my lips, so they were just above his. “Smart man.”

“I’d like to think so.”

Liam took my mouth again as he spread my legs and pushed inside me. This time, I gasped for real and arched my back.

A hand ran up my side and thumbed my nipple. “Speaking of being on top, I think it’s your turn to ride me.” Another palm cupped my other breast. “I want to see your face as you come.”

By morning, Liam had fucked me so many times that we slept in until lunchtime.

I had figured we’d spend our last day doing something like checking out the other town close by or going for a hike. Instead, we spent the whole day inside and did everything naked.

We finally finished our movie since we hadn’t the night before. But I’d had to wrap myself in two blankets, so Liam would pay attention and not distract me with sex.

We cooked naked and went in the hot tub naked.

And then on our last night there, we went to bed together again. Naked.

Except, despite the exceptional sex, I couldn’t fall asleep.

I was on my side, facing Liam, his arm around me, and I realized I hadn’t been that content in a long time. But a part of me worried that everything would end when we left and went back to Hanover.

I realized that some of my fear was due to two things. One, I really liked Liam. I mean, like,reallyliked him. And two, whether it was the anniversary of Darren cheating or because seeing Liam brought up those memories, I was worried I was going to lose another good guy.

I knew now that Darren hadn’t been a good guy, but at the time, I’d thought he was. And it still hurt because I always wondered if I was missing something. There must have been a reason Darren had slept with Tracy. What did Tracy have that I didn’t? And to make it worse, Liam had also slept with Tracy. If I was missing that special quality, Liam would know.

Liam’s arm moved, and he rolled me to my back. “What’s wrong?”

“Uh…” I didn’t think I had given anything away.

“What’s wrong?” he asked again.

“How do you know something’s wrong?”

“You weren’t sleeping, so I guessed something was bothering you. Your answer confirmed I was right.”

“Hmm…I guess I walked right into that.”

He leaned forward and rubbed his nose against mine. “You can tell me, you know. I’m a really good listener, and I promise not to judge.”

I didn’t know if it was because we were going home tomorrow or if it was because it was dark and I couldn’t really see his face, but I decided to go for it.

“Am I lacking something?”
