it already wasn’t. Sex had always been sex with him. So why did he get the feeling nothing would ever be that simple where Kate was involved?
Kate woke the next morning still in the curve of his arms. The smattering of chest hair against her cheek was the physical reminder of what had happened between them.
A flush stole up her body and she squeezed her thighs together, testing how sore she was. She winced slightly. Apparently a little more than she would have expected. But then, everything about last night had been unexpected. She hadn’t thought Todd would be so, well, well endowed . It hadn’t been easy trying to keep her reaction hidden when he’d entered her.
It hadn’t been outright painful, but it had hurt a little. But he’d seemed to know exactly what to do, and each time he’d reach down and rub between her legs…oh God. She closed her eyes, feeling herself get wet again just thinking about it.
“You wake up early, doll.”
His sleepy drawl had her tensing in his arms. She hadn’t realized he was awake. Lifting her head, Kate glanced down at him and found him watching her.
“Is it early?” she asked huskily. “I have no idea.”
“Mmm. Probably only seven. Good thing you don’t have to work. Happy New Year, by the way. Guess we kind of forgot about that part last night.”
Kate gave a nervous laugh. Yes, she’d completely forgotten about ringing in the New Year. Her mind had been a little one track, though.
“Happy New Year,” she murmured.
Todd laughed as his arms tightened around her and then in one quick move he flipped her onto her back and hovered above her. Kate’s breath locked in her throat and her pulse quickened and the smoldering look of intent in Todd’s eyes.
“Well, since you’re up…and I’m up. Literally…”
She opened her mouth to protest, wasn’t sure she could go another round so soon, but then his head lowered to her breast and his wicked lips closed over one nipple. Heat slid in an arrow from her breast to down between her legs and she could feel her flesh softening, dampening again.
A low groan gathered in her throat as he suckled one breast and massaged the other. And even though having sex one time hardly qualified her as experienced, she knew in that instinctive woman’s way, that she would be able to take him again.
Giving up any thought of protest, she closed her eyes as he slid down her body and once again moved his face between her legs. When his tongue flicked out, thought became a novelty.
Later, after he’d made love to her slowly and thoroughly, Kate woke up again from a light slumber. A glance at Todd’s alarm clock showed it to be after noon.
She glanced down at him and found him still sleepy, his expression soft and almost vulnerable in sleep. Her heart did a little tug and the urge to curl up next to him hit hard.
But with the light of day also came the harshness of reality. She’d done it. She’d gone into this seduction knowing the stakes and that Todd was not the type to do serious. She’d known this could be nothing more than a one-night stand or she’d risk falling in love and getting her heart broken.
God, she was naïve. Kate swallowed hard, tears prickling at the back of her eyes as she stared down at him. Sleeping with Todd Wyatt might have rid her of her virginity in a very delicious way, but unfortunately it has also made her crush on him jump from harmless to lethal.
Biting her bottom lip, she climbed out of bed, grabbed her heels off the floor, and then tiptoed into the living room to collect her clothes. Relief swept through her that Todd hadn’t woken as she finished dressing.
She’d just slipped into her heels and was contemplating how much walking back to her house in them was going to suck, when Todd’s phone rang.
Shit. Kate’s gaze darted to the door and she thought about just running outside and fleeing.
But then she heard the thump of Todd sliding out of bed, and then a groggy,
