and within three hard strokes, they both came. Stephanie was biting her lips to keep from screaming. That was the most intense sex she had ever had. Brian had both hands on the table propping himself above her. He leaned down and pulled her hair aside to kiss the back of her neck. “We need to get out of here before someone notices us.” Brian pulled out of her and took his condom off. Grabbing the wrapper, he threw both away in a trash can that was in the corner. He pulled up his pants and grabbed his shirt as well as Stephanie’s on the ground. “I don’t think I will ever look at another courtyard the same again,” Stephanie whispered as she pulled up her thong and capris. “I aim to please baby.” Pulling his shirt over his chest, Brian looked down as Stephanie was putting on her blouse. He saw the long tear in the front. “Sorry about that. I’ll get you a new shirt tomorrow before you leave.” Brian saw the shock on her face when she looked down at the torn material. “Oh, I’ve never had clothes ripped off before sex,” Stephanie smiled and pulled the two pieces of fabric together. “Don’t worry about it because the sex we had was well worth this blouse.” “Can you hold it together until we get to the bed and breakfast? It’s about a block and a half away.” Brian looked around to make sure nothing was out of place before they left. “I’ve got it.” Stephanie was surprised that they were so close but he had to have her right here. Her! She couldn’t believe it. Her low self-confidence dealing with sex was being chipped away. Brian made his way to the gate and she followed. He reached through the bars and punched in the code. The gate opened easily and they walked under the iron arch above. Before stepping onto the sidewalk, Brian looked both ways for people walking near the gate. When it was clear, he grabbed Stephanie’s hand and stepped out, pulling the gate shut behind him. When they crossed the street and onto the next block both Brian and Stephanie began laughing. They felt like they both had their hands in the cookie jar and didn’t get caught.
Chapter 19 After arriving at the bed and breakfast, Brian suggested that they take a bath. He went into the bathroom and started the water in the oversized claw foot tub. Knowing that women liked bubble baths and candles, he added the bath cream to the running water and lit some candles. He really wanted to make her last night memorable. This was a first for him because he had never had deep feelings for another woman. Stephanie was different and he felt a sense of belonging with her. He knew little about her but she was amazing. There was also an undercurrent of something that he couldn’t put his finger on. She was a very sexy woman but he felt that she was holding back something when they had sex. Brian planned on finding out what that was about and teaching her to let go. He left the water running and stood in the doorframe. Stephanie was putting a few things in her suitcase and he leaned against the door jam and watched her. “What time are you leaving tomorrow” Brian asked as he admired her backside when she bent over to pick up a pair of sandals. “I’m leaving shortly after breakfast so I can be back to Columbia by lunch. My friend is having a baby shower tomorrow and I told her I would help.” Stephanie put the last item in her suitcase except for the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow and her black teddy she purchased earlier. She was a little nervous at the thought of wearing it in front of Brian but she was going to start getting over her fears.
“If there is anything you want to do or see before you leave, let me know.” Brian came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “This is your getaway after all and I guess I’m high jacking it.” Stephanie turned in
