frighten her, even if it was her idea.
    Moving away from her lips, he worked his way back to her ear. When he nipped her lobe, she made a small, breathy noise. Zach couldn’t help chuckling. A shiver ran through her. She moved her hips against his groin, and it was his turn to tremble.
    Her hands found their way under his shirt. The heat from her palms as they traveled up his chest made him want to crush her to him.
    She didn’t push him hard, but the sudden pressure was enough to unbalance him. Half a step backward and his legs met the bed. He sat down hard. Before he could object, Maddie was straddling him, her knees against his hips, her skirt bunched high, almost to her hips. Her hands framed his face, keeping him from pulling away from her open-mouthed kiss.
    Zach’s hand automatically went to her bottom to keep her balanced. His penis throbbed as though realizing that only a thin layer of clothes separated it from nirvana. He sank back on the bed, taking her with him. When this woman decided she wanted something, she didn’t beat around the jungle gym.
    Zach slipped his hand between their bodies. Under her skirt, he found the top edge of her panties and slid his hand inside. She melted sideways onto the bed, giving him better access. Instead of giving her what she wanted, Zach brushed her clit. She drew a wobbly breath each time he teased her but didn’t quite enter her.
    Good Lord, but she was wet and slippery already.
    Zach’s jeans strained to contain him. Maddie stroked him through the denim. Zach froze, one finger on the verge of slipping inside her.
    “Dammit, Zach,” Maddie said in a frustrated whisper, “if you’re going to do it, do it !”
    “Is that your way of saying please?” he whispered back.
    “If that’s what you’ve been waiting for, then yes.”
    Zach slid his finger inside her. When he was all the way in, he rubbed her clit with the heel of his hand. Maddie’s mouth opened but she seemed to forget to breathe.
    Zach could feel the tension building in her, like a soap bubble about to burst. He wished he’d managed to get his clothes off before she’d gotten to this point. He’d love to feel her melt around him, but if he stopped for that, she’d lose her momentum.
    From the crib beside the bed, a thin whine pierced the room. An indrawn breath later, the whine became a cry. As the cry rose in volume, Maddie drew a ragged breath. She put her hand on Zach’s to still him, but it took her a few moments to move.
    She’d been on the edge; he knew it, but the sound of Jesse crying was too powerful to keep her there for even the ten or fifteen seconds more she’d needed. Zach didn’t think he’d have the strength to pull back from the brink like that; it amazed him that she did.
    When Maddie began to push herself up, Zach withdrew his hand. She picked Jesse up from the crib and rocked him back and forth. “I’m sorry. He doesn’t like waking up in strange places.”
    “That’s okay. He’s a boy. He’ll get over that as he gets older.”
    Maddie gave him a questioning look. “Is that a sexual innuendo?”
    “There wasn’t nothing ‘innuendo’ about it, darlin’.”
    He thought Maddie was fighting a smile. If she was, it was a battle she lost; he saw that much before she turned away to walk across the floor with Jesse, even though the boy’s cries were already subsiding.
    “I suppose you’ll be leaving now.”
    “I should get him home.” She ran a finger inside Jesse’s diaper. “But I should change him first. Do you mind—?”
    “Not at all.” Zach got the diaper bag while she laid Jesse on the bed. She had the matter-of-fact touch that he’d seen other mothers use on their children.
    “Where’s his bonnet?” she asked when she was done.
    “You’re not going to put that girlie bonnet back on him, are you?”
    “Where’s his bonnet?” Maddie repeated, her tone brooking no argument.
    Zach dug it out of the diaper bag.
    Bonnet properly in place, Maddie
