tongue in her mouth and ground his hips between her legs.
She moaned again, louder this time, and he rocked his hips against her. Keeping his hips and his tongue consistent together, he held on.
Suddenly he felt Brady explode around him. Her walls clamped down on his cock and he could do nothing but follow her. They floated together in that place where there was nothing but them and the pleasure of their bodies.
After a minute or an hour, he wasn’t sure which, he felt Brady go limp underneath him and he pulled out to lie next to her.
Propping his head on his bent elbow, he ran his eyes up and down her torso. Her hair was a tangled mess from his hands and her cheeks were rosy.
It was in that moment he realized he really had been right. She was meant for him and he was never letting her go.
Brady pried her eyes open. Darren was watching her closely with a small smile on his sexy face.
“Hey you,” she said quietly.
“Hey yourself,” he answered. “How are you feeling?”
“Wonderful,” she said as she stretched her sore muscles. “I’m hungry though.”
“Me too. But not for food.” He gave her his devilish grin before he pulled her on top of him.
Brady sat up and looked down at him. His eyes were glued to her breasts.
“You are gorgeous.”
She smiled at him. “You’re not so bad yourself.”
“I’m not going to like being away from you when I go home,” he said with a sigh. “But at least I’ll get frequent flyer miles.”
“I was thinking maybe I could stay with Lissa for a few weeks until we decide what to do.”
He nodded but didn’t say anything. She thought he would be happy about that. “What’s wrong, Darren?”
“I know it’s soon but why don’t you just come and stay with me?”
It was music to her ears. She wanted to fall asleep every night with his arms around her and wake up every day with him. It was quick but she didn’t have to get rid of her apartment.
“What about Brett?” she asked.
“I kind of thought you two were a package deal.” He chuckled.
“Then yes!”
“Really?”
She nodded and he rolled her under him.
“One more thing…” he whispered.
“Yeah?”
“I think I’m hooked for life.”
Brady wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss.
Then there was no more time for talking.
