him and praying he wasn’t having second thoughts again, her throat constricted and her heart raced like mad. She cupped his face and looked into his dark eyes. “What is it?”
    “I want to be inside you, sweetheart.”
    Relief moved through her. “I want that too.”
    Trembling hands brushed her hair off her cheeks, then slid gently over her bare shoulders. The small, affectionate gesture elicited a shiver from deep within. Her heart squeezed in her too-tight chest. “I don’t suppose you have any condoms.”
    She briefly closed her eyes in distress. Good God, never in a million years had she thought she’d end up in bed with Cole tonight, otherwise she would have come equipped. She suspected the same for him, because he wasn’t a guy who took chances or played with fire without protection. Which meant he hadn’t come here tonight with the intention of sleeping with her. Perhaps he’d purposely come without condoms so he wouldn’t be tempted.
    She opened her eyes and when she caught the intense way he was watching her, a tremble moved through her. “I don’t have condoms, but I’m on the pill.”
    He exhaled slowly and forced a laugh. She could feel his tension building, a firestorm of need that if left unattended, would implode upon itself. “Baby, I haven’t been with anyone in a long time, and I always use a condom.”
    As his voice played down her spine, she ran her thumb over his lips, her body aching for him in dangerous ways. “I’m clean, Cole.”
    His crooked smile turned her inside out when he said, “I know you are, sweetheart, what I’m trying to tell you is I am too.”
    “Then what are you waiting for?” she whispered, her body urging her to join with his before she shattered into a million tiny pieces. Trusting him implicitly, she widened her legs in invitation. He fisted her hair and they exchanged a long, intimate look. A maelstrom of sensations bubbled inside her and warned she might not be the kind of girl who could love casually. Especially not with a guy like him.
    With single-minded determination, he gripped her shoulders. His eyes never left hers as he positioned his cock at her opening. A second later he plunged deep, pushing all the way up inside her with one hard thrust that stole the air from her lungs. She gave a little whimper as he widened her, filling her in a way she’d never been filled before.
    His heart pounded hard against her chest, and the two began moving, both giving and taking as they established a rhythm. The depth of his penetration and the warm familiarity of his scent raised her passion to new, never before known heights.
    He drove impossibly deeper and his mouth found hers as he powered into her. Each plunge took her higher and higher until she could feel another spasm pulling at her core. He rammed into her, reaching a fevered pitch. When his breathing grew shallow Gemma got the distinct impression he was trying to slow down but couldn’t.
    Ribbons of heat moved through her body. She took a fueling breath to concentrate on the pleasure as she gave herself over to the erotic sensations. She gripped his shoulders, moisture sealing their bodies as one as her nails scratched his skin, leaving her mark on him, a reminder of this night. God, everything about Cole felt so good, so right. But some small, coherent part warned that he just wanted her sexually. Nothing more, nothing less.
    “Cole,” she cried out as he once again pushed her over the precipice. Completely overcome by the heat zinging through her blood, she concentrated on the bliss and dug her nails deeper into his back.
    As her whimper filled the room, Cole whispered her name. A second later he let loose a savage growl as her sex clenched around him. She could feel his muscles bunch, his release rapidly approaching as he struggled to hang on. She rode out the pulses rippling through her body and watched the way his dark eyes smoldered as he, in turn, watched her peak. When she squeezed her sex
