of strength in his body he pulled back.
    â€œWe need a condom,” he said.
    â€œUmm,” she groaned. “I didn’t pack any.”
    Adrian threw his head back and released a sigh; then he remembered his emergency package in the car. “Give me five minutes,” he said as he hopped off the bed, pulled on his pants, and dashed out of the room.
    Alone in the hotel suite, Dana’s mind twisted and turned over what Adrian said about his mess. What was this mess? She sat up in the middle of the bed and ran her fingers through her locks as she waited for Adrian to return.
    But if she asked him about it again, the mood would be killed, and she needed to be with Adrian in the worst way. She stroked her left thigh, eyes closed, imagining Adrian’s hand there. Moving closer to her wet center, she moaned, shivering and whispering his name.
    â€œStarting without me?” Adrian asked from the doorway. Dana opened her eyes and saw him, naked, sheathed, and ready.
    â€œHow long have you been there?” Her face was red with desire and a twinge of embarrassment.
    â€œLong enough to get a view of what I’ve missed for so long.” He stalked over to the bed. “The way you called my name made me harder than a diamond.” He took her hand in his and kissed her fingertips, tasting the sweetness of her nectar. “I’ve never been so jealous of a hand before.”
    She spread her legs. “Need you.”
    Adrian entered her wet and awaiting valley with a thrust that made Dana groan. She was so hot, wet, and tighter than he expected. Part of him was happy to feel her tightness. Happy that she still fit him like a glove.
    Another thrust.
    Her moans punctuated the air like the perfect note from John Coltrane’s immortal sax.
    Another thrust.
    Her desire poured down on him like rain. Adrian joined her chorus, crying out her name as Dana clenched her thighs around him and ground against him with the beat of a Latin groove. He fell deeper inside her, she felt so good. She thrashed against him, giving him everything and Adrian returned the favor, giving as good as he got. But when she flipped him over, mounted him, and gyrated her hips against his, he felt as if she were milking everything out of him—his heat, his desire, his love. Adrian tried to hold back his explosion, tried to save his climax. Dana wasn’t going to allow that to happen as she tightened her grip around his penis and then she leaned forward and sucked his bottom lip as if he were the sweetest chocolate known to man.
    Adrian was done.
    Dana fell against his sweat-covered chest, nibbling on his earlobe.
    â€œOh, woman, don’t touch me,” Adrian groaned as she darted her tongue in and out of his ear.
    â€œUmm, make me,” she said as she tightened her thighs around him. Adrian palmed her round bottom and brushed his lips against her neck, then gave her a wonton lick across her collarbone. “Now you’re cheating.”
    â€œAnd what do you call that sucking of my earlobe ?”
    â€œTasty.”
    He circled her nipple with his index finger, making her shiver from the inside out.
    â€œStop,” she moaned, feeling herself melt against him.
    â€œYou sure about that?” he asked, then replaced his finger with his tongue. He remembered how she would purr when he licked and sucked her nipples. Ah, there it was—soft and low like a happy kitten. Just as he felt his erection grow inside her, his cell phone rang.
    â€œYou’d better get that,” Dana said.
    â€œI can ignore it.”
    He thrust forward, and Dana answered with a thrust of her own. “What if it’s important? About your club?”
    She thrust again and Adrian gripped her hips. “I’m holding everything that matters.” Grinding like gears, they ignored the ringing of Adrian’s cell phone.
    After making love again, Dana and Adrian fell asleep in each other’s arms. When she snuggled
