can’t…where am I?”
    “ My parents’ house. And you kissed me first so don’t go blaming me for that.” She looked ready to explode and he wanted to pull her to him and start again. “You were asleep and I didn’t know where you lived.”
    “ So you brought me here? And kissed me? Are you…I need to go.” She made to move away from him and he stopped her. Without waiting for her approval, which he was sure she wouldn’t give, he scooped her up in his arms. “Put me down. I don’t feel so well.”
    He carried her up to the bedroom and laid her down. When she didn’t protest, he knew she was sick. Going to the bathroom, he wet one of the hand towels there, took it to her, and put it gently on her eyes.
    “ Alexander?”
    He looked over at his parents. “She got burned at work this morning and then we had a…thing and I tore open the blisters. The ER doctor gave her something for pain and it hit her when we were getting in the car.”
    His mom stood there and looked at him. He couldn’t even begin to wonder what was going through her mind. She finally reached out and brought the door nearly closed before she spoke. “Call us if you need us.” Then the door closed.
    Alex looked down at Heather then sat on the bed beside her. She started to sit up, but he simply pushed her back. When she tried it again, he rolled over her and covered her with his body. “This is nice.” It was too. Her body fit beneath his as though she’d been made to be there.
    “ Let me up right now.” She pushed against his shoulders. “I mean it, Mr. James. This is no longer funny.”
    He took both her hands in his and pulled them up to the head board. “First of all, my name is Alexander or Alex, whichever you prefer. Secondly…” He leaned down and nipped at her neck where the shoulder met. “You calling me Mr. James when I bury myself deep inside of you could be scary.”
    He rocked into her. He tried to be gentle, to be slow, but she tasted so good, felt so good, that he found he wanted…no, he needed more. He took her mouth and devoured her.
    Running his hand up her waist, he grasped the hem of her shirt in his fingers and worked them beneath the thin cotton. Moving his hand up, he skimmed hot skin, felt her muscles ripple beneath his touch. When he encountered her bra, he slid his fingers under it and filled his hand once again with her. She arched into him then ripped her mouth from his as she threw back her head and moaned deep, dark, and primal.
    Moving his head down to her ribs, Alex bit then laved the tiny wound with his tongue while he moved the lace from what he wanted. Her. Her and her hard nipple. When she was free, Alex took the hardened peak into his mouth and suckled.
    “ Please,” she moaned as her fingers wrapped into his hair and her legs wrapped around his hips. She rode him, rode him as hard as he did her. He wanted her now, wanted her forever.
    He froze. Forever?
    Alex rolled to his back and away from her to the other side of the bed. He’d only just met her today. This couldn’t be happening. Throwing his arm over his eyes, he tried to get a grip.
    What the hell had he been doing? What had they nearly done? He looked over at her when he felt the bed shift to see her getting up and moving to the door. She was adjusting her clothes. It took her slamming out the door when she left the room before he realized she was leaving.
    Alex leapt from the bed to catch her. She was about halfway down the stairs when he caught up with her and when he did, he quickly took two steps back when she turned.
    “ Leave me alone, damn it. Being with you is like being a yo-yo on a string.” She sat on the stairs. “You have me so churned up inside I’m not sure if I want to beat you senseless or strip you naked and have you.”
    Alex flushed. He knew just how she felt. When his father chuckled coming up the stairs, he knew they’d heard her.
    “ I’d like to go back to the bakery, please. If someone could please
