against hers.
As he set a deliberately slow rhythm, she felt herself drift into a state of sheer
sensation. Another orgasm gathered but flirted just on the edges of her consciousness.
Each harsh breath he took made her respond with one of her own until they were breathing
in sync.
Her hips began to move in a slow grind, causing him to groan and his rhythm to increase.
Her heart pounded as the hand on her back slid down to her shoulder.
His thrusts became more forceful, his grip tighter. Curving around her, he covered
her back with his chest. Surrounded her.
The sensation became almost overwhelming. She could barely catch her breath. Her body
tightened, not in fear, but in anticipation.
An anticipation that detonated in an explosive orgasm, rippling through her body with
a force that left her boneless, nearly insensate with pleasure.
And with a rising sense of fear that she’d liked this way too much.

When his cock finally stopped pulsing, Tyler collapsed over Kate with a rough sigh
before quickly shifting to the side so he didn’t crush her.
He’d couldn’t remember coming that hard or feeling this . . . sense of satiation in
years. Definitely not since Mia and possibly not even
with
Mia. He’d always been so careful with her, knowing he couldn’t lose control and risk
frightening her.
He didn’t think Kate frightened easily.
She lay facing away from him, her hair a dark swath across her back. He wanted to
wrap his hand around it and keep her anchored to him but figured that might be a little
too much for her.
Instead, he laid his head on one bent arm and wrapped the other around her waist.
She started slightly when his skin made contact with hers but wriggled back against
him in the next second.
She fit perfectly. Her head under his chin, her ass snuggled against his thighs and
his cock pressed against the small of her back. Rolling away for a second, he took
care of the condom before rolling back to draw her close again.
She let him wrap himself around her for several minutes while her breathing settled,
but he realized she was growing stiffer in his arms with each passing second.
When she finally shifted away from him, he thought she was going to get up. Now that
the heat of the moment had passed, was she having second thoughts?
Instead, she rolled over until she lay facing him.
Her gaze held his steadily, but she definitely had something on her mind and it wasn’t
another round of sex.
“Are you okay?”
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he wanted to take them back.
Damn it, he didn’t want to treat her like a child but she definitely had something
going on.
She didn’t seem to take offense as she nodded slowly. “I’m fine. It’s just . . . been
a while since . . .”
He heard what she didn’t say. It’d been a while she’d been with anyone but her fiancé.
And he got that. Of course she was going to have nerves.
And now came that awkward moment as they were both naked and had no idea what to say
or do or—
“Thank you.”
Okay, maybe Kate was going to be better at this than he was. “For what?”
“For helping me realize I made the right decision.”
It wasn’t what he’d been expecting and his expression must have shown his surprise
because she grimaced and her eyes closed.
“Sorry, that didn’t come out the way I intended.”
Putting one hand on her cheek and rubbing his thumb against her flushed skin, he waited
until her eyes opened. “You can say anything you want to me, Kate. You’re not going
to upset me or make me angry.”
Her raised eyebrows told him she didn’t really believe him. But she didn’t contradict
him, either.
Instead, she shivered a little, and he was about to reach for her to draw her closer
when she sat up. “I think I’d like to get dressed.”
Disappointment bit at him, but he nodded and immediately rose to find her clothing,
forcing himself not to
