  “What?” Tyler's eyes widened, shock and surprise rollicked through his thoughts. Heat coiled in his core and anticipation lit across his nerves.

  “What we had is gone, but…” It was a lie. Miranda still felt her fondness, her love, for Tyler. She wrote it off as residual leftovers from his abrupt departure. She struggled with her words, her gaze falling to her hands. Her fingers tangled into the hem of her shirt, before she shyly peeked up at Tyler. Miranda couldn't believe these words were coming out of her. “We never got a last hoorah, did we?”

  “No, we didn't.” Tyler agreed, wholeheartedly. However, if he hadn't left when he had, she would have suffered from their mere association. Ten years had passed, though. Ten long, agonizing years, without her. The heat skimmed across his fingers and warmth sunk into his core. Fantasies he never knew he held shifted before his eyes. He stared at Miranda, his eyes focusing on her: her fingers knotted into the flimsy blouse, her hair tucked back into a bun – begging to be undone – and her eyes seeking his gaze through her long, dark lashes. Everything inside Tyler clenched, before his self-control shattered. He growled to himself, running a hand through his hair, “Fuck it.”

  Those two words barely registered in Miranda's mind before Tyler was on her. Her back slammed against her door as his palms cupped her face. His lips ravaged hers, his tongue invading her mouth. She gasped against his kiss, before her eyes fluttered shut. Miranda leaned into Tyler and his hands drifted down her body.

  His fingers worked along her sides, enjoying her curves, before doubling back to her breasts. He squeezed and fondled her through her shirt and bra, noting Miranda's nipples were pleasantly hard. Excitement shot to his groin. Miranda whimpered under his touch, her back arching. Tyler let an appreciative groan shudder from his lips. If he didn't get Miranda behind that door, he'd take her right there in the hallway.

  Miranda seemed to get the hint. In her hormone daze, she rattled the doorknob and managed to open the door. They fell into her apartment, never breaking the kiss. Tyler kicked the door shut behind him before he swung her around, slamming her back against the door. A shocked gasp escaped her lips and Tyler pulled away from this kiss.

  His lips worked their way down her throat, enjoying the taste of her skin and her warmth against his tongue. Her surprise slipped away and her hands found their way to his hair. As her fingers threaded through his tresses, she massaged his scalp. A delighted groan left Tyler's lips and vibrated down to her very core. She squirmed under his hot breath and his increasingly rough nibbles.

  He leaned back as his fingers found their way to her blouse. Miranda threw a curious look at him, just before his wrists flicked. Thread tore, buttons clattered to the floor, Miranda gasped as a thrill shot down her spine. Her blouse lay open, showing off her favorite pink lace bra, the buttons scattered at her feet.

  “Hoping for a fun night with your date?” Tyler asked as dark possessiveness lit across his thoughts. He didn't want to imagine Miranda hoping to bring one of those douches home. His hands trailed up her sides and his thumbs skirted over the fabric right over her nipples.

  Miranda whimpered, her face burned and her breathing hitched. Tyler had barely done anything; how could he affect her so thoroughly? He palmed her breasts through the fabric of her bra, groping roughly. She sputtered an indiscernible answer between her gasps and whimpers. Would he believe she put her undergarments on, thinking of him? Sensual excitement flung to every part of her body, her nerves sizzled and tingled. Against her thigh, Miranda noticed his cock pushed into her through his jeans. She felt it throb and twitch against her, as if it wanted to break out of its confines.

  Tyler found it hard to contain himself. The gasps, the whimpers, the slight squirms. Miranda's reactions drove him wild. His fingers worked at her breasts until her nipples stood to attention through the fabric.

  He wanted more, though. The skirt she wore gave him just enough view of her legs to steer his desire away from her still covered breasts.

  With little warning, he spun her around. His hands fell down to her outer thighs while his fingernails scraped along her thigh-high stockings. She shuddered, the sensations against her tights vibrated down her legs and up to her core. Her fingers curled against the door as she swallowed down small mewls.

  She was against her front door, which led into the hallway. People came in and out all the time, pounding through the hallway. Someone was bound to hear her. A small part of her shuddered in delight at the prospect, though.

  Tyler's hands drifted back up her thighs. He hiked up her skirt, revealing her matching pink underwear. His palms drifted over her ass, admiring the silky undergarments with a pleased growl. Miranda's heart thudded in her chest, anticipation skirting along her thoughts. Tyler hunched over her, his chest flush against her back. She bit her lip as one hand gradually edged beneath the front of her panties. His other hand drifted upwards, burrowing under her bra.

  His palm massaged against her breast as his fingers deftly traced along her lower lips through the panties. A mewl of pleasure echoed from her throat. She screwed her eyes shut, the sensations overtaking her body. His rough palm, groping her tit with bruising force, juxtaposed against his gentle fingertips as they explored her folds. Tyler's fingertips ghosted over her swollen clit and hot waves of pleasure crashed into Miranda's core. Her whimpering escalated, her fingernails digging into the wood of her door.

  Tyler was immensely enjoying himself. Her soft body was pliable and warm under his hands. Her sounds drove stakes of pleasure into his groin. It was all he could to do keep from taking her quickly. Yet, he wanted to relish this encounter, especially since these intimate moments weren't going to last.

  “You're already so wet, Mir.” Tyler's lips pressed to Miranda's ear and he chuckled, deep and throaty.

  His words raked hot coals down Miranda's spine, hitching her breathing even further. Her toes curled in her shoes and her thighs trembled. Tyler's hand slowly drifted from her panties to hook his thumb around the waistband. At a frustratingly slow pace, he lowered the undergarments down her thighs. The bulge in his pants pressed against her ass, hot and hard. Miranda whined as she wiggled her ass against his concealed erection.

  Tyler shifted and the hiss of the zipper filled the air. For a brief second, it was all Miranda could focus on. Then, she felt his cock twitch against her. His flesh slapped against her ass; his heat kissed her skin. Her pussy throbbed almost immediately, eager for the long denied treat. Miranda rocked her hips, sliding his cock against her pussy. Tyler inhaled sharply, his lower stomach churning in delight at her skillful wriggling.

  Miranda's moist lips and throbbing pussy tempted his cock. It twitched; the head sought her slit, her heat, her inner core. His hand tightened on her tit as his free hand held Miranda's hip still. Tyler taunted his lover as he slid his erection back and forth against her pussy. She quivered and whimpered and rocked in time to his rhythm. Tyler smirked against Miranda's ear as she burned up with desire.

  “Oh, please, don't–” A moan cut off the rest of her plea.

  He paused in his movements, concern clamping on his thoughts. Was she having second thoughts? Against her ear, Tyler puffed in slight confusion, “Don't what?”

  The words lined up in her head. It was the perfect phrase to get what she wanted most. Miranda gasped, arching her back, as she whimpered, “Don't be gentle.”

  Fire flared through Tyler as hormones burned all other thought away. He grabbed Miranda's hips, roughly, eliciting a surprised gasp from her lips. Pleasure shot to her core, making her sex pulse and throb in overdrive.

  His cock cleaved between her lips in one deep, swift thrust. Tyler landed his member deep in Miranda with a low groan in his throat. She gasped and writhed, her nails scraping down the door. Her body clenched around the delightful intrusion. Tyler wasted no time. He pounded, hot and hard, into her. Her ass jiggled with every thrust and the door rattled on its hinges.

  Miranda gasped and moaned, completely forgetting where she w
as. All she could feel was Tyler's firm body against her back and his cock creating fire-hot friction in her pussy. Her toes curled as she tried to match his pace, his rhythm. She wanted him deeper, harder, faster. Miranda wanted him to drill into her as hard as he could.

  Tyler huffed against her ear, delighting in the way her sex throbbed and rippled along his length. Miranda's muscles coiled tighter and tighter around him. His balls pulsed and tightened with every second. Heat and friction pounded through his thoughts as sweat dripped down his body. His fingers dug into her hips and, beneath his fingertips, he could feel Miranda tense. Her body knotted under pleasure and heat and pressure. Until, finally-

  “Oh, Tyler!” The words shot out of Miranda's lips, loud and uninhibited. She threw her head back, her ass bouncing desperately against his hips. Her thighs quivered as her pussy clenched tighter than ever. Tremors curled up her body, forcing light shudders to manifest along her limbs. Her inner muscles rippled and squeezed along his cock as her hot wetness bathed his shaft.

  He couldn't hold back any more. The pressure and heat drove one last stake of pleasure home. Sparks danced along his nerves as his cock jerked as he spilled inside her.

  “Fuck,” growled Tyler against her ear as he continued to pump his cock in and out of her. The one word brought shudders to her body, followed by erratic convulsions. His cum sloshed through her, tickling and pleasing every last corner of her inner core.

  Miranda gasped and moaned, gentler shivers licking across her body. A whine of discontent laced from her lips as Tyler pulled out of her. He stared at her, still braced against the walls. Her thighs enticingly quivered and, when she peeked over her shoulders, desire still made her gaze glassy. He licked his lips as his need for her reawakened. Despite his recent release, Tyler felt another hot and heavy round rearing up in his fantasies. He thought about how he should get going. If he stayed too long, he'd never want to leave.

  As Miranda pushed herself upright, wobbling on her trembling legs, she turned. Under her hot, green gaze, Tyler shuddered. It was too late. He already wanted this night to be endless. She stared at him expectantly. As if she were counting down the seconds until he bolted.

  Tyler pulled up his jeans, anticipations riffling through his head. An air of slight sadness radiated from Miranda. When his gaze flickered back to her, her gaze had fallen to the floor. Despite the qualms floating about his head, despite knowing what was for the best, Tyler couldn't help himself.

  His fingers found Miranda's chin, forcing her gaze up. He stooped down, his lips teasingly ghosting over hers. Tyler imagined he heard her heart stop when he asked, “Mir, where's your bedroom?”

  CHAPTER FIVE

  The next morning, Miranda's muscles ached from exertion. Despite the pain, she enjoyed it. Her cheeks burned with the memories of what she and Tyler had done the night before. Miranda shook her head and focused on the sizzling bacon she cooked.

  Another well of pride staggered through her head as she thought of Tyler. He was still asleep, thoroughly wiped out. That fact brought a pleased tingle to Miranda's core. Her toes curled against the linoleum as she imagined what would happen when he awoke. Images of being thrown on the table and taken flashed through her head.

  “What's got you all worked up?”

  Tyler's voice behind her made Miranda jolt. She swallowed down a yelp as she turned sharply. “What are you talking about?”

  “Your face is all flushed.” Tyler grinned, knowing exactly what had been on Miranda's mind.

  Miranda turned back to the stove, a sudden pop of bacon grease calling for her attention. The image of Tyler's naked torso still burned in her head, even as she turned her back to him. Tribal-esque tattoos lined his body, along with a few horrifying scars. Then, of course, there was that trail of dark hair that spread from navel to groin. Miranda's face prickled at the very thought of it.

  Behind her, Tyler leaned against a counter. She busied herself with the bacon before moving on to some eggs. He watched her carefully with a heated gaze. Miranda's fingers trembled with excitement as each quiet second passed.

  Finally, once breakfast was finished and dished out, the two took their seats at the small dining room table. Miranda's face felt about ready to melt off. No matter how hard she tried to divert her attention, her thoughts and her gaze constantly flickered back to Tyler. It was infuriating. Closure should have erased her schoolgirl crush or, at the very least, abated it a little!

  “Do you have plans for the weekend?” Tyler's words crashed through Miranda's thoughts and her eyes moved back to his face. He forked some egg around on his plate before giving her a hesitant glance. In Tyler's head, pragmatism reamed into him. One night. That's all they got. No more. He should have booked it at the first sign of daylight. Yet, he lingered in bed while his hands gingerly stroked her back, her side, her face.

  “As long as the bank doesn't call, no.” Miranda's shook her head, still shocked by Tyler's inquiry. She had half-expected to wake up in an empty bed. When her eyes opened, finding her lover still snoozing beside, she had been taken by surprise.

  A glint of mischief and delight sparked in Tyler's eyes. “Want to go for a ride?”

  “On your motorcycle?” Miranda's eyebrows cocked upward, a wry grin on her lips.

  “Well, that, too,” Tyler purred, his voice husky and the heat in his gaze intense. “We could go to Flagg Forest. Maybe take a hike like old times?”

  “By old times, I'm assuming you mean when you forced me to play hooky,” teased Miranda, waving her fork around to emphasize her point.

  “There was no force! You did it willingly.” Tyler bristled, a defensive pout curled at his lips. Suddenly uncertain, he added, “…right?”

  Miranda softened as Tyler's worries cropped across his face. She couldn't deny her excitement every time Tyler came for her. How his infectious grin and bright eyes spoke to a deeper part of her. Naturally, her parents were livid when they found out. They blamed Tyler, though their disappointment in Miranda was thick enough to chew on. Residual streams of excitement throbbed through her as she sighed and nodded, “Yeah, I guess I did.”

  Tyler's tense shoulders eased. Relief fluttered through him, but bashfulness still tinged his words. “So, what do you say?”

  Miranda's gaze turned down toward her plate. Her thoughts skittered across the invitation and her imagination painted enjoyable scenarios in her head. What if the bank needed her? She'd be farther away than if she had been at home. Her cheeks burned, the potential words of her customers curled tightly along her thoughts. That wasn't even accounting for her family, who owned the bank. If they found out she had spent time with Tyler, already, they'd snipe at her until the end of the millennium.

  She couldn't do it. Miranda's gaze flickered back toward Tyler. He waited, patiently and quietly, with an earnest expression. Her heart fluttered and her gaze shot away from his face as she murmured, “Should I pack a lunch, too?”

  * * *

  A picnic at Flagg Forest. Tyler's body sang with giddiness as they rode to the forest. With prior precedent, he had no doubt their little excursion would be a happy one. Miranda's body pressed flush against his back helped his excitement along. Even in the bright light of day, she became braver. Her arms looped lazily around his waist – versus the deadly awkward hold on his torso from last night – and her fingers fiddled close to his groin. Did she even notice the dangerous proximity of her fingers?

  Sparks of electricity burned and churned his core. Was she going to touch him? Or was she just teasing him? After ten minutes of resistance, Tyler couldn't handle it any longer. At a stoplight, his hand drifted down to hers. He moved her hand to his side, only slightly tempted to press her palm to naughtier bits of his anatomy.

  Against his back, he could feel Miranda's laugh. “So, that was getting to you.”

  When Tyler didn't answer, she grinned to herself. Since last night, a part of her had reestablished itself in her mind. It was a troublesome part that she thought had long ag
o departed.

  Miranda pressed her cheek to the back of Tyler's shoulder as her fingers worked their way under his shirt. His heart thrummed faster in his chest, the rhythm echoing to her ear. Smug pride swelled in her chest as her thoughts became fat with confidence. The way he reacted to her, on every level, made Miranda feel warm and tingly inside.

  The tips of her fingernails scraped down his sides, sending ripples of excited prickles thundering over his body. Heat pooled in his groin. His pants felt tighter, almost to an unbearable point, as his erection grew. It took all of his self-discipline to keep driving.

  Through his shirt, he could feel Miranda's grin pressed against his shoulder. A flare of indignity burst into his thoughts and, he realized, she had always been like this. Testing him, teasing him, pushing him to the edge until he couldn't take it any longer. Tyler suppressed a pleasant shudder at the thought. Even if he tried to be on his best behavior, she tempted his true nature.
