quite so—so powerful before,” she admitted, stretching languidly beneath him. “I’d almost forgotten how good this could be.”
    Cole cocked his head and gave her a quizzical look. “What do you mean?”
    Lacey looped her arms around his neck and pressed a kiss against his mouth. “Let’s just say it’s been a while since I’ve done this. But I’m glad that you’re the one who ended my dry spell.”
    Cole gave her a tender smile that did odd things to her equilibrium. “Well, I’m glad, too. Can I ask just how long it’s been?”
    “A couple of years.”
    Cole drew away slightly, his face registering surprise. “Are you serious? Are the guys up north blind?”
    Lacey laughed. “Thanks, but it’s by choice. My job is pretty demanding and I don’t have a lot of free time.”
    It was a partial truth, at least.
    “I get it, but a couple of years? ”
    “You’ll have to help me make up for lost time,” she said, and moved suggestively beneath him.
    “Oh, yeah? Well, I’m all for that.”
    Lacey liquefied under his tender expression and the implicit promise in his words. She could feel the hard thrust of him against her hips and, reaching down, tugged at his briefs. “Maybe you want to start by taking these off.”
    He helped her, sliding them off and kicking them free. And there he was, rising thick and heavy against the tautness of his abdomen. Lacey’s mouth went dry.
    Unable to prevent herself, Lacey wrapped her fingers around him. He jerked reflexively in her hand. He was hot. And hard. And as smooth as satin beneath her fingertips. She slid her hand down the length of him and felt a surge of feminine pride when he sucked his breath in sharply and buried his face against her neck. Lacey continued to stroke him, tentatively at first and then with growing confidence as he groaned softly and bent his head to her breast, capturing a nipple in his mouth and drawing deeply on it.
    And there it was again. The slow, throbbing ache that made her long to wrap her legs around him and bring him completely inside her.
    “Cole,” she whispered against his hair.
    He raised his head from her breast and his eyes were startlingly blue. “Yeah?”
    “I want you. Now.”
    “I almost forgot.” He slanted her a crooked grin and then leaned over to open a drawer in the bedside table and drew forth a small foil package.
    A condom! God, she hadn’t even thought about protection.
    She watched as he expertly covered himself, then positioned himself above her. Reaching down, he lifted one of her legs and laid it across his hip, opening her for him. He stroked a finger along her damp cleft and Lacey gasped at the exquisite sensation. But when she felt the fullness of his erection pressing against her, a liquid heat gathered at her core and she lifted her hips in invitation. His breathing was ragged as he gazed down at her and, in one smooth movement, surged forward and buried himself inside her.
    Lacey groaned as he filled her and clutched at his shoulders. He captured her mouth with his, sweeping his tongue against hers as he began to move, his hands cupping her buttocks and lifting her to better meet the bone-melting thrusts of his hips. Lacey arched against him and raised both legs to wrap them around his lean hips.
    “That’s it,” he rasped huskily against her mouth.
    Lacey had never felt anything so all-consuming. She was being swept upward in a vortex of sensations, clinging with mindless abandon to this amazing man who seemed to understand what it was she needed before she did. He was as attuned to her body as if it were an extension of his own, as if he was somehow hardwired into her. He thrust again, slowly, moving his body sensuously against hers, and she barely suppressed a huff of laughter as she realized he was hardwired into her. And she was about to experience a total system overload.
    “Ohmigod,” she breathed raggedly, as pulsating pressure built once more and threatened to undo her.
