It amazed me how Charlotte gave me exactly what I needed after knowing my story for all of two minutes. She was beyond incredible. When we finally broke apart, I studied her intently, thinking that she was exactly the woman I needed in my life even if it was just for a few days. I couldn’t pass on the chance to experience something I never thought I would.
Charlotte’s cheeks got redder the longer I stared at her. She then tentatively tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled slightly. “You’re doing that thing again where you stare at me…” Her little laugh resonated with a hint of nervousness and I thought it was cute that a woman as gorgeous as she was wasn’t used to men staring at her by now.
“Yeah…” I said unapologetically. “I just can’t help it.”
Before she could respond, I leaned closer to softly press my lips to hers.

CHARLOTTE
I hesitated only a millisecond when Jamie kissed me because I didn’t expect it. I thought we’d come to an unspoken agreement that we would refrain from exploring the crazy chemistry between us. However, the longer his lips stayed on mine, the less I cared about the consequences of acting on our attraction.
The fire that spread through me consumed every rational thought, leaving only an intense desire to seek more with him. Once I relaxed and kissed him back, his mouth moved over mine with a hunger that matched my own.
His palm curled around my nape, pulling me closer, and I swore fire sparked and shot through my veins. I’d never felt this consuming need for someone before. While it had me a little worried, I couldn’t analyze it at the moment. Our sitting position made it hard to get as close as I wanted to properly align our bodies, and I moaned my displeasure.
As if reading my mind, Jamie shifted and then pulled me closer to straddle him. He paused and murmured against my lips, “Wait, your ankle…”
“It’s fine.”
I wound my arms around his shoulders and pressed my lips harder to his with an ever-growing desperation for more. His hands roamed over my back, tracing every dip and curve. His light touch sent delightful shivers up my spine. I ran my fingers through his hair as our tongues danced. I’d never wanted to luxuriate in a kiss so much. I couldn’t get enough of him.
When we finally broke apart to gasp for air, our gazes remained locked and his hands still moved over my back. I liked that he didn’t seem to want to stop touching me.
“I know we just agreed that we wouldn’t go further,” he said. “We did, right…?”
A smile lifted my lips. “Sort of.”
His sigh sounded deep and contemplative, but then he said, “I changed my mind.”
“Me too.”
And then there were no more words…
Each touch, however, was like a language of its own. Each one communicated longing and desire… the feelings that had simmered between us the instant we met. Jamie’s hands slipped under the huge T-shirt I’d chosen from the stash of clothes we’d found. There was nothing underneath so I could bask in the delectable sensation of his fingertips on my bare skin. I arched into his touch as his lips trailed along my jawline and moved down to the sensitive skin of my neck.
When he cupped my breast to massage and run his thumbs over my hardened peaks, fluid practically gushed between my thighs. It had been so long since I’d been with anyone like this. It was as if I’d been waiting for Jamie the entire time. He paused his exploration to lift the shirt over my head. I watched him as he watched me, his eyes darker and filled with need. If it were possible for someone to devour someone else with just their eyes… That's what Jamie did.
The way he looked at me made me feel beautiful. “You’re a goddess, Charlotte,” he said reverently. “That’s what I thought when I first saw you in the hotel lobby.”
My heart stuttered and then beat faster. It was flattering to know he’d been as instantly attracted to me as I’d been to him. With one swift motion, he flipped us over and gently laid me on the sleeping bag beside him.
As he hovered over me, he said, “When I fantasized about this moment, I didn’t picture it on the floor of an abandoned cabin in the middle of a storm.” His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes shone with regret.
Smiling, I reached for the bottom of his shirt and lifted it. He helped me remove the garment and as I ran my palms over his chest, I said, “This is perfect.”
I’d remember it forever… after he was long gone from my life. A pang of sadness struck me. I finally met the man who made my heart flutter, as I’d heard so many other women gush about, and he’d only be a part of my life for a few more days.
However, rather than wallow in despair about the misfortune, I decided that I should make the most of every moment. That didn’t include worrying about the scenery of our first time together.
Jamie was still worried because a frown still furrowed his brow. So, I wound my legs around his waist and used them to pull him against me. “Stop worrying and make love to me, Jamie.”
Amusement danced in his eyes before it vanished beneath something smoldering. The hot intensity of his eyes on me and the carnal intent in them sent my body temperature through the roof.
I squirmed beneath him, eager to discover what else he could do to my body.
He swooped down to kiss me again as he shuffled out of his pants and then got rid of my shorts, not missing a beat. My bare skin against someone else’s never felt so incredible. His voracious kiss had me anticipating what would come next. I moaned and arched into him when he abandoned my mouth to feather hot kisses down my neck. I felt his erection throb against my thigh and it made me wetter and hungrier to feel him inside me.
