Part of her hoped he’d take advantage of the view she knew she was displaying. He was a man after all, surely he couldn’t resist taking advantage of her exposed ass. As if reading her thoughts his finger eased her shorts aside and dipped into her juices.
He groaned.
“Oh so wet.”
She stepped back on her heels, causing him to remove his finger. Although she felt empty she wanted to touch him. She wanted to feel his skin against hers. She moved her hand to the front of his cargo shorts, rubbing her fingers over his bulge.
“Condom?” she cried, ready to explode as his finger inched its way back into her canal, deeper this time.

“Back pocket,” he huffed, capturing her lips. Hungrily he devoured her mouth, his tongue seeking hers.
Bailey didn’t wait for another invitation. She dug into his pocket in search of a condom. When she found what she was looking for she used both hands to open the foil package.
He yanked her shorts off with one swift tug. Gripping her hips, he lifted her onto the granite countertop.
She waited as he unbuttoned his shorts and watched as they fell into a heap at his feet. As his cock sprang free from his boxers she licked her lips and handed over the condom. Quickly, he sheathed his long, hard cock and with one swoop, slid it into her burning cunt.
She wrapped her legs around him. Her fingers threaded through his black, wavy hair.
“Is this what you wanted?”
“Yes,” she cried. “Yes.”
“Your pussy is so fucking wet. I want to feel it coming all over my cock.”
She wanted that too. She wanted him deeper.
“Fuck me, Ethan. Fuck me hard.”
His hands grabbed her ass and lifted her off the counter. He held her tight as he pumped into her over and over. She used the muscles in her legs to match his tempo. He felt so right inside her.
He lost his step but quickly recovered by leaning her against the refrigerator. Her back met with the cold stainless steel. The coolness mixed with the heat radiating off her body only made her desires stronger. She was going to climax. She felt the stirrings from the pit of her stomach.
“Ethan, I’m close.”

He released one of her cheeks and reached for her nipple. Pebbling the nub between his fingers, he pinched it as he rocked inside her. It was exactly what she needed to push her over the edge. That last biting sensation to send her bursting into the most delightful orgasm.
“Yes!” she roared as her pussy clenched onto his cock, milking it for every last drop. Wildly, he pounded into her as he erupted into his own orgasm. He continued pumping into her until he was spent. She loved the way his cock filled her as it pulsed its seed into the waiting condom. She clung to him as they rode out the last of the climax. Her breasts heaved against his chest. He lifted her off his cock. She unraveled her legs and let them hit the floor. Jell-O. Her legs felt like Jell-O. Luckily she had the refrigerator for support. The small of her back hit the ice button, triggering cubes to come crashing out against her.
She yelped, and as she sprang away from the frozen cubes her foot landed on one, sending her slipping across the floor.
“Whoa,” Ethan said as he grabbed her arms before she could fall flat on her back. He gathered her in his arms and she burst out into a fit of laughter.
“What’s so funny?”
“I can see the headlines. Killer cubes take out semi-naked writer.”
“It does sound rather humorous, doesn’t it?”
Bailey liked the way he chuckled at her attempt at humor. He had a nice smile and a cute little dimple in his left cheek.
“I should probably pick up the ice before it melts all over my floor.” She pushed out of his strong arms and picked up the ice. One by one she threw the cubes into the sink. Ethan bent over and gathered up the escaped cubes right alongside her. She threw the last of the cubes into the sink and picked up her shorts from the pile of clothes next to the counter.

“So do you still want a soda?” she asked, slipping a bare leg into her shorts.
“I’ll take a beer if you have one.”
“One beer coming up.”
When she turned to hand him the beer he was dangerously close again. She could smell their sex on him. It made her want him again. This couldn’t be happening. Her libido was already recharged. How could that be? Bailey Johnson didn’t have sex more than once in a day. She was lucky if she climaxed. Orgasms sometimes eluded her, but not with Ethan. Ethan did it with no effort whatsoever. That scared her. She didn’t need to know an orgasm could be a doorstep away.
“Hey listen. I was wondering. Could we keep what just happened between us?”
The beer she’d been handing him dropped down on the floor, causing a loud crashing noise. But it didn’t break. It remained intact, saving her one more headache.
“Are you serious? And to think I was about to take out an ad in the fucking New York Times.”
Shit! He’d pissed her off. He wasn’t looking to get her upset. He just didn’t want his sister to find out, because once she did he was history and right now he needed to be here.
“Look, I’m just saying, Jenna might not take too kindly to the idea of us sleeping together. I don’t want to hide it, it’s just for now I have to.”
“No big deal. It was a onetime thing. It’s not going to happen again, so no need in getting Jenna all worked up over nothing, right?” She brushed past him toward the living room.
“Pizza’s getting cold,” she called over her shoulder.
“And so is the temperature in here,” he muttered. Great. Now what was he going to do? He didn’t want her pissed off at him because he didn’t want this to be a onetime thing. He wanted another round or two with her, but Jenna could not find out. 17

“Bailey… I don’t want you to take what I said the wrong way. I enjoyed what happened and believe me I want it to happen again. I just kinda promised Jenna I’d behave. If she found out I did this already…”
“Wonderful!” she slapped her legs. “So you are a player.”
“No, it’s just…” He didn’t know how to explain it. He didn’t go sleeping around with every woman he came in contact with, but he had gone a few rounds with one of Jenna’s former friends. He didn’t want Bailey to become one of the statistics.
“Listen, it doesn’t matter. I’m not going to tell Jenna anything. That’s between you and her. What happened here, well…it isn’t going to happen again. It can’t.”
“And why not?” he asked, offended. Didn’t she find him attractive? Didn’t she feel the sexual connection between them?
“Because I don’t do this. ” She waved her arm around. “I don’t normally sleep with some stranger who appears on my doorstep. But I did and I can’t take it back. Nor do I want to. Let’s just forget it ever happened and move on.”
He didn’t want to forget. He wanted to do it again. Her cavalier attitude was driving him crazy.
“Pepperoni or sausage and peppers?” she asked, opening the box. The scent of peppers assaulted his nostrils, causing his stomach to growl. He was famished and not just for food, but for Bailey too.
“Both.” He watched her slap two slices of pizza haphazardly on the plate.
“Here.” She shoved the plate into his hands.
“I wasn’t trying to offend you. Seriously. Jenna just has a strong opinion about me getting involved with her friends.”
“And I feel the same way as your sister. I’ve been down this road before and the only thing that comes out of it is ruined friendships. I don’t want that to happen to Jenna and me. I actually like your sister.”

Just great. She was grating on his nerves with her goody-two-shoes attitude. They were consenting adults. They could have sex if they
wanted. It was none of Jenna’s business.
She bit into her pizza, leaving a string of cheese hanging from her chin. Ethan reached over and pulled it off her.
“All I’m saying is I like you. I’d like to…I don’t know, do this again sometime.”
She seemed to be considering his words as she chewed.
“You seem like a nice enough guy and what just happened was amazing, but…”
“But it can’t happen again? That’s bullshit and you know it. It’s a cop-out.” He tossed his plate on the table. She was irritating him. Why did she have to be so difficult?
Ethan didn’t like being told no.
“I don’t need this shit from you. I’ve only known you for what, an hour? You don’t own me and I certainly don’t owe you any explanations. So if you don’t like it, there’s the door.”
Ethan stared at her, stunned. She was a feisty thing. Her chocolate eyes blazed with anger. He smiled.
“Is something funny?” she demanded.
“No.” He shook his head.
“I have a lot of work to do. Maybe I should call Jenna and see where she is.”
Ethan kept his eyes on her while she searched for her phone. Damn she was one sexy lady. Thoughts of those long legs wrapped around his waist had his cock throbbing again. When she bent over to rifle through her purse, he wanted to walk behind her, grab her hips and take her from behind. He wanted to feel his hard cock sliding in and out of her drenched pussy. Then he wanted to taste her sweet nectar. Oh he would have Bailey again.

Yes, he was getting under her skin. The nerve of him to think she would be there to obey his every whim. She had a life and it didn’t include waiting around for some guy. Though the sex was hot and so was he. Just thinking about being pinned under him brought renewed chills.
She felt the heat of his stare as she looked for her cell phone. The temptation to spill the contents of her purse out just so he couldn’t look at her anymore was great. Caving in to him was not an option.
“Ha!” She produced the phone and dialed Jenna.
“Hello?”
“Hey, it’s Bailey. Where are you?”
“Bailey, I’m having the worst day. I’m lost in the middle of nowhere. I drove around trying to find someone who can give me directions back to the highway. And my brother is supposed to be there by now, but I haven’t heard a word from him. I’m worried he’s lost too.”
No such luck.
“He’s fine. That’s why I’m calling. He was concerned about you and stopped by my place.”
“He’s there? Thank God. I’ve been so worried. You’ll keep him company until I return, right?”
“Of course.”
“I have one more client, once I get back into town. I shouldn’t be more than a few hours.”
Bailey groaned. A few hours? Too much could happen in a few hours.
“I’ve got it under control, don’t you worry.”
Right about now Bailey wished Jenna had a spare key lying around so she could let Ethan in her apartment and be rid of him. Hanging out in her apartment was not a good idea.

“See ya soon.”
“Yeah, see ya soon.”
Bailey closed the phone and tossed it back into her purse. Just fucking great. She was stuck with Mister-oh-so-sexy for a few hours and nothing to do. Well, she could get her article done.
“We’re alone for a few hours?”
“Don’t get any ideas. I have work to do.” She pointed to her pile of paperwork and her laptop. “You promised to help me with the article, remember?”
“Of course. I’ll be more than happy to assist with all your needs.”
She wanted to scream. He was so fucking frustrating. He wasn’t referring to her article. She wanted to wipe that grin off his smug face.
“Great. My only need is to get this article done—today.” She picked up some of her notes and read. Ignoring him was the best solution. She wouldn’t tell him she craved another orgasm or how she wanted to feel his stiff cock filling her. She fanned her hot skin with her stack of papers.
“Want me to get some ice to cool you down?”
“No, I’ll be just fine.” She slumped farther into the couch, pissed at herself for being attracted to Ethan. Jenna would be angry too. They had a pact and Bailey had already broken it.
Ethan slid closer to her. He traced his finger down the length of her arm. Goose bumps pebbled her skin.
“You sure I can’t get you some ice? I know a fun way to cool off with a few ice cubes.”
I bet you do.
She cleared her throat.
“Thanks for the offer, but seriously. I’m under a tight deadline.”

“Okay, but if you change your mind…” He moved his head closer. His lips touched down lightly on her shoulder. He kissed a trail up her neck. His hot breath caused her pussy to stir. Her stomach muscles quivered in the wake of his touch. When he reached her ear, he licked the rim, driving her insane. She wanted him again. She couldn’t wait any longer. The way he worked his tongue over her ear had her ready to climax.
“Ethan, I…we…”
“Yes?”
Oh fuck it. What did she have to lose at this point? They’d already done the deed. What would it hurt if they did it once more?
“I want you,” she whispered.

Chapter Two
He knew he was wearing her down when his tongue licked her ear. It worked every time. She was crumbling under his touch. He’d help her with her article, but first he wanted her. He wanted to feel her writhing under him, calling out his name. Ethan hadn’t let a woman affect him in this manner in a long time and he didn’t like the way she’d crawled under his skin. He’d have her again and get her out of his head. When she whispered the words, “I want you” he was a goner. He couldn’t shed his clothes fast enough, but refrained.
“Should we move this party to the bedroom?” He’d already had her in the kitchen. He didn’t mind having her in the living room, but having her underneath him on a soft bed was more appealing.
“We could.”
When she batted her brown eyes, he just about melted. Did she realize how beautiful she was?
Standing, he reached down and offered her a hand. “Lead the way.”
He started to follow when his cell phone buzzed to life. “Shit.”
“You better get that. It could be Jenna.”
Yes, he thought about that. But something told him it wasn’t his sister. He dug deep into his pocket and pulled out the phone. Restricted. It couldn’t be Jenna.
“Hello?”
“You can run but you can’t hide.” A creepy voice on the other end. Ethan slammed the cover shut.
“Who was that?”

He could see the concern in Bailey’s eyes.
“No one. Wrong number.” He plastered a fake smile on his face and slung an arm around her neck. “Where did we leave off?”
“I was showing you to my bedroom.” She giggled.
So they knew he’d left Florida. How long before they tracked him down to his sister’s? Probably not long. Maybe it was a bad idea coming here in the first place. His sister didn’t need his trouble. She didn’t need his headaches. But he needed her. He needed a safe place to hide out until he could think of a way to resolve this issue. He’d never told anyone in Florida that he had a sister, so maybe…just maybe they wouldn’t figure it out. First thing he had to do was ditch his car and get something less noticeable. Like a motorcycle. It could be easily hidden and…
“Ethan?”
“Huh?”
“You sure that call was nothing?”
“What? Yes. Why?”
“I was talking to you and you were a million miles away.”
“I’m sorry.
What did you say?”
“How about I just show you?”
She licked her tongue across her top lip, causing Ethan to groan.
“Oh woman. You drive me mad.” He pulled her into his arms and captured her mouth. His tongue slipped past her lips. Exploring.
The taste of pizza still lingered on her tongue. Ethan didn’t mind. His hands reached under her tank top, looking for her perky breasts. He took a handful and pebbled the hardened nipple between his fingers.
She moaned.
His mouth left hers, searching for a taste of her skin. He lifted her tank over her head. “I don’t think we need this.” He tossed it across the room. 24

“And these aren’t needed either.” He slid her shorts over her hips, dragging them down and over her feet.
“Your body is amazing.”
“Clothes off,” she demanded.
“Yes ma’am.” He saluted her before shedding his clothes in record time.
“You’re not so bad yourself.” Her hand covered his hard cock. Rubbing gently, she teased the tip of his head with her finger.
“Climb on that bed. I want to taste all of you.”
Ethan watched her crawl across the bed, exposing her pink puckered hole. He’d like to sink deep into there, but first he wanted to taste her sweet nectar. She looked back over her shoulder. “Where would you like me?”
He climbed on the bed and flipped her onto her back. “Right here, Bailey.”
He nudged her legs apart with his knee. She smiled up at him.
“What?”
“Nothing. I like a man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to take it.”
“Then I’m the man for you.” He lowered his head and placed kisses along the crest of her breasts. He worked his way down her stomach, lingering over her navel. When his tongue delved into the tiny hole, she wiggled.
Her fingers raked through his hair as he descended closer to his destination. Her sweet pussy.
He liked that she was perfectly trimmed. The smell of her arousal grew stronger the closer he got to her swollen lips.
“Heavenly,” he whispered.
He blew against her clit.
She shivered.
