He kisses my ear, my neck, and my back as he rubs against me. “I can’t get enough of you. I have to have you again.”

I hear him putting on a condom. Then he lifts my leg and angles me so that with one quick thrust, he’s deep inside. I use my leg to pull him deeper into me. I feel him all the way to my core. “That feels so good.” I gasp as he moves his hips. “Yes, right there.”

He groans behind me. “You’re so damn tight. Do you know what you’re doing to me?”

He grabs onto my shoulder as he pulls out and pushes back in so slowly. Each time he pulls back, he comes back in harder, more forcefully, deeper. He slowly picks up the pace just when my body starts trembling. “Ethan, I can’t take any more.”

“Yes, you can, baby. Just let it happen.” My fingers are grasping at the sheets, trying to find something to hold onto. I bite down on Ethan’s upper arm as he starts pumping harder and faster into me. His thickness fills me as I attempt to hang onto my rapidly declining sanity.

I cry out in pleasure. Every nerve ending is on fire.

My body is throbbing, burning for release. I try to stop the building emotions, the overwhelming sensations, but they take hold.

Ethan’s fingers are digging into my arm, and I feel his body tighten behind mine. He pushes into me again and again. As he slams into me one final time, he groans out my name on his release.

And when my orgasm comes next, it is so incredibly intense.

It completely shatters me.

I feel the rapid beating of his heart against my back as I struggle to regain control of my breathing. Ethan wraps both arms around me in a hug and inhales deeply in what feels dangerously close to cuddling.Ethan was never one to cuddle. He used to jump out of bed as soon as we were done. Then again, I never stayed all night in his bed, either.

He nuzzles the side of my neck. “I know I should have waited. You’re probably already sore after last night, huh?”

“You sound a little too pleased with yourself.”

He laughs and then pulls his arms out from under me. “I need a shower.” He sits up in bed and swings his legs over the side.

I roll over and look at him. “I was hoping we could stay in bed a little longer.”

But he’s already walking away. “Can’t. Stay as long as you want, though. I have some things to get done today,” he says offhandedly.

A few seconds later, I hear the water from the shower.

And just like that, I’ve been dismissed. Just like so many times before. I’m half-surprised he didn’t just throw my clothes at me and tell me to shut the door on the way out.

The happiness I felt at waking up in his arms falls away instantly.

I look up at the ceiling as a single tear rolls down the side of my face. I quickly brush it away, appalled at my own naivety.

When I decided to sleep with Ethan last night, I knew it was a one-time thing. It’s not like I was looking for anything permanent with him. We were supposed to sleep together and then move on.

I know this, and yet, somehow, I unconsciously allowed my heart to forget all of that last night. I allowed myself to let in a small glimmer of hope that maybe things would be different now.

I won’t blame what happened on Ethan. It was all me. I practically attacked him at the gala. Any man would take an opportunity like that. If I’m honest with myself, I don’t regret it. It’s been a long time since I felt this closeness with anyone. It feels good to pretend I have someonewho cares for me, even if it was just for one night. The time I spent with him last night is something I’ll never forget.

Ethan has been wonderful since he came back to town. He’s been there for me every step of the way. I don’t want to ruin what we currently have for something that will never be. I’ll make it clear we need to stay friends and only friends.

We had fun last night, but I’m not made for one-night stands.

Chapter 16

Ethan

The shower’s warm water rains on my face as I scrub the sleep from my eyes. Not that I got much sleep. I feel a twinge of guilt for keeping Liz up most of the night. She’s probably tired and sore. I picture Liz lying in my bed, that sexy smile on her face. I had to leave that room before my dick got hard again. Round four might be too much to ask of her.

I can’t remember a time when I’ve felt this good. A night of the hottest sex of my life might have something to do with it.

Being with Liz last night was something I would’ve only dreamed about a few months ago. When she came onto me at the party last night, kissed me, teased me, it was the stuff dreams are made of. She was bold and fearless, so different from the Liz I am used to. And she was so utterly fucking hot that I get hard every time I think of her in that dress. And out of the dress, too.
