Sexual tension still simmered just under the surface, but they were both on their best behavior since they were in public. Every time he smiled at her, her body pulsed with the need to climb onto his lap and kiss him until the only thing he could see, taste, or feel…was her.
When she took a sip of her drink and her tongue snaked out to lick a drop of liquid from her bottom lip, she saw his eyes focus on the motion. The hands gripping his dinner utensils became so tight that his knuckles turned white. Oh yes, he wanted her just as much as she wanted him.
“Are you having fun, Adam?” Teasing him a little wouldn’t hurt anything.
He put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with his dinner napkin and focused his penetrating gaze on her. “This night has been amazing. You’re everything I knew you would be. I almost couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“Almost?” Hmmm, this could be interesting. “What else could you ask for to make the night complete?”
“You,” he said. No muss. No fuss. An honest answer to an honest question.
Her breath hitched, her core pulsed, and need shot through her body. Desire for him was reflected in her voice as she responded, “I’m all yours, Adam. I want you just as much, and I don’t plan for this night to end without making sure we both get what we want.”
She hid her smile behind her napkin as Adam’s eyes widened and he motioned at their waiter. “Check, please!”
Chapter Five
Strong hands gripped her waist. Holding her as if he never wanted to let her go, Adam pushed Roxanne against the wall. His mouth devoured hers as if she was his very life’s breath.
His breath was whisper soft against her lips. “If you want me to stop, tell me now.”
“No, I don’t want you to stop. Keep going. Please, keep going.”
His eyes raked across her face, as if committing her features to memory. “I don’t want only one night with you. Tell me that this is more than just a high-school fantasy for you.”
Panting, her body aching to get closer to his, Roxanne wondered if he really had lost all his skills. No man in his right mind would question that her desire for him was absolutely real. Apparently she wasn’t being clear enough, and it was time to change tactics.
“Adam, my bedroom is straight back, last door on the right. I want you right now. Tonight.”
Next thing she knew her body was being lifted in his strong arms. As he carried her to the back bedroom, Roxanne was amazed at his strength. He didn’t seem like the type to take control. Apparently he had it in him all along.
Still murmuring softly to her, his lips feathered light kisses on her neck and shoulder. His strong muscles were barely strained, and his breathing wasn’t labored. Her desire for him was spiraling out of control, and she gripped his arms tightly as he walked them down the hallway. Barely able to restrain herself, she prayed that he would walk faster. She needed him.
Adam reached out and opened the door to what he believed was her bedroom. Without further delay, he stepped into the darkened space, allowing a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the dimness in the room. Slowly lying her down on the soft comforter, he gave her a deep, thorough kiss. The pure intensity of the act imprinted the taste of him on her tongue.
She knew that no other man would ever taste as good.
The moonlight was shining through the bedroom curtains, shedding the perfect amount of light for her to see him. His strong profile, wide shoulders, and the intense desire in his eyes called to her like a beacon.
Adam then reached out with trembling hands and untied the belt at her waist. Grabbing the hem of her dress between his thick, strong fingers, he began lifting the flared skirt. Fingers trailing softly on her bare legs, he slowly peeled the soft material away from her quivering body.
Inch by inch, he exposed the smooth skin of her body to his hot gaze. Her thighs, her flat stomach and her full breasts slowly became visible as he undressed her, seducing her with his ministrations.
Her breathing quickened as she lifted her upper body to help him pull the dress off of her body. The movement caused her breasts to push out toward him as she tilted up toward him. Full and high, they seemed to beg for his hands and lips and tongue to caress them. Her rich curves seemed to crave all the attention they deserved and had been denied for so very long.
Adam took her hands in his, pressing his lips to her palms momentarily. It was as if he were savoring her, which heightened her desire for him all the more. He then guided her hands to his shirt front and encouraged her to begin undressing him in return.
Releasing her hands, he slid his own along her arms. Savoring the touch of her soft, smooth shoulders under the rough pads of his fingers, he then slipped both hands down the insides her arms to rest lightly on the warm mounds of her breasts.
“You are so beautiful, Roxanne.” The words seemed to be ripped from his throat.
Her nipples were beginning to stiffen under his enticing touch, wrenching a moan from her that held a note of desperation. Surprisingly, for a computer geek, his hands were lightly calloused, which seemed so at odds with what she now knew of him. As he continued to manipulate her body, her legs began to shake in anticipation as her body pulsed with need.
His shirt fell open once all the buttons were undone and her slim fingers rested on the waist of his pants. Adam sucked in his breath as her hands then moved upward, trailing through the thick mat of dark hair that covered his broad, muscular chest.
“Adam, I need you to make love to me,” she whispered as she continued to pay homage to his toned body. Although he had a full chest of hair, it was soft to the touch and lay flat against his skin, which had always been a turn-on for her. His body held not one ounce of fat, and she now recognized why he could carry her so easily from the living room to her bedroom. Clothing really did hide the man underneath, and she was pleased that he had been so focused on work the past few years. No other woman but her should have the privilege of seeing him like this.
Thinking like that scared her, but it also felt natural. They may have reconnected in an unorthodox manner, but she would interpret that as the hand of fate taking over.
As her hands moved back down to his waistband and her fingers lowered his zipper, Adam began slowly leaning down toward her. Soft, kissable lips trailed kisses on her arm, shoulder, breasts, and lips. Almost as if he were making promises without saying a single word.
“Hold on, baby, let me get a little more comfortable.” He pulled back and removed the remainder of his clothing within a matter of seconds. Standing in front of her, his hungry gaze took in her naked form, and a wicked smile curved his lips.
Grabbing her underneath her elbows, he lifted her up so that she was flush against his body. Taking a deep breath, Roxanne inhaled his unique scent and vowed to never forget how he made her feel tonight. She felt him kiss her lightly on the right temple, and then his lips moved slowly down the side of her head to the space where her shoulders and neck came together.
The sensations were driving her crazy, and yet she wanted more. His warm tongue explored the inner windings of her ear as his teeth scraped the edge. Finally, he nibbled gently on her earlobe, wringing a shiver from her as ripples of ecstasy raced through her limbs.
And then Roxanne became aware of something pressing, throbbing urgently against her, and she sighed in anticipation. She trailed her fingers down his body, finally reaching his hard erection. Her breath hitched at the sheer size of it. It was every bit as large as she'd imagined and hoped it would be. Clearly, she would be in for a treat tonight.
As she thought of having his rigid length driven all the way into her hungry channel, Roxanne let go another low groan of pleasure. Her hand released his thickness as she allowed herself to simply feel.
As his lips, tongue, and teeth nibbled and kissed down the side of her neck to lave the sensitive softness of her smooth shoulders, she latched onto his arms. As he twisted his head to continue moving his mouth down toward the yearning flesh of he
r breasts, she knew there was no way she could wait any longer.
His knees bent slightly, he brought his mouth down to her breasts even as his hand found and held on to her full, firm ass cheeks. A low, guttural moan passed through him, vibrating against her skin.
Roxanne groaned and shivered at his knowing caress of her sensitive flesh. With one arm still wrapped around her, Adam guided her backwards until the back of her legs hit the edge of the bed. Gently, he eased her down until she lay flat as if she were a buffet made only for his pleasure. His mouth remained glued to her body as he bent down with her.
Her breathing became harsher, her chest rising with the efforts to calm her body as she accepted his attention. Belly rippling, it contracted with the intense pleasure that Adam was giving her. Her hips rolled slowly from side to side, her long legs opening and closing in a slow-motion preview of what she hoped would come soon.
Adam slid one hand down over her bare stomach and past her navel to glide across the flat, taut expanse of her abdomen. Roxanne brought one hand up to hold his head against her while the other hand slid slowly down the arm corded with lean muscle, finally coming to rest over his hand just as his fingers and palm slid between her thighs.
She arched her hips up in earnest, pressing firmly against him, reveling in the sensation of his hand touching her so intimately. Adam began moving his hand, grinding his palm down on her clitoris just hard enough to result in mini-pulses rippling through her body.
His fingers moved between her sensitive flesh and slid down the length of her nether lips. Blunt fingertips traced up and down her slit, lightly skimming over her soaking-wet sheath until they reached her swollen nub. He stroked her gently, lightly caressing the thickening flesh. Roxanne gasped and jerked upward hungrily, her legs widening, her hands clenching the bed sheets.
His head turned and he began kissing his way down between her breasts. Slowly and with skilled precision, he kissed down her stomach, running his tongue into the tiny, dimpled depression of her navel, and then continued to her lower abdomen.
His lips moved down lower, and she could feel them heading toward the one area that was practically weeping with need and hunger. The sensations from his mouth were blowing her mind. It seemed as if he were speaking into her flesh, and whatever he was saying, it was definitely working wonders inside her already overheated, long-frustrated body.
Adam nipped at the crease of her thigh and Roxanne automatically bent her legs at the knees, pulling them wider apart. She then slipped one arm off the side of the bed and let it trail down over Adam's muscled chest and arms.
Her hips began jerking up toward Adam in short, sharp spasms just as his lips were working over the flesh of her inner thigh.
"Oh, yes, that's it, that's it!" she cried as his mouth moved to cover her quivering pussy. He sucked her blood-gorged bare lips into his mouth and ran his tongue up and down the length of them. The tip of his tongue flickered over her thrusting little clit, and Roxanne shivered at the shock waves of ecstasy his movements were sending through her body.
Roxanne felt him thrust his tongue between her swollen lips, the appendage reaching out to lap and explore inside that wet, warm passage. He delved into her tight channel and groaned in deep appreciation. Losing control, her body began to shift and move as her moans and sobs of pleasure became increasingly louder. His hands wrapped around her upper thighs, holding her still as his lips and tongue continued their movements on her hard clitoris, sucking and licking and occasionally nipping gently at the overly sensitive nerve.
It was almost becoming too much when he used his fingers to probe her opening. The dual sensation of his tongue and fingers working in tandem tipped her over the edge.
“Oh yes! Please…don’t stop!” The words were torn from her throat as her orgasm rushed through her body. All her nerve endings came alive at once as his mouth brought her to completion. Her body strained upward as she attempted to get closer to Adam, to connect them so tightly that they wouldn’t know where one ended and other began.
Kissing her inner thighs as her body stopped quivering, he made his way up her body.
“Baby, you taste so good. I may need to go back for seconds.”
“Later. Right now, I need you inside me. Now,” she moaned.
Lying between her legs in a perfect position to have his cock lined up against her hot core, he slowly began to push forward. The thick mushroom head of his cock pressed between her pussy lips and slipped halfway into her.
Roxanne brought her legs up around Adam's thighs, locking them around him, pulling him closer to her. Adam kept up the slow and steady pressure, driving his hard length into her slick channel inches at a time. She felt the broad head finally come up flush against her cervix and she sucked deep breaths of air as her body adjusted.
"Yes, Adam!" she gasped.
“Oh baby, say my name again. Let me hear you. I need to hear you call my name as I make you mine,” he whispered in her ear.
Lifting her legs, he positioned her knees over the bend in his arms, giving him the leverage he needed to go deeper inside. To reach a place no man had been before. Her body was opened wider for him, and he was able to lean down and kiss her as he continued to wring moans from her.
Stroking slowly inside her, he groaned in her ear and she mewled like a cat in response. Nothing had ever felt so good. He played her body like an instrument, and he was the virtuoso. The man was relentless, and he didn’t seem to be slowing down.
She began to orgasm over and over again, her body seizing up as the sensations rolled over her like the waves of an ocean. Tears rolled down her face as she allowed her body to bask in the tumultuous feelings.
He whispered endearments to her the entire time, never stopping or slowing down as he took her to heaven and back.
Chapter Six
Adam looked down at the woman sleeping and swore that he would not let her get away this time. Even in her sleep she was beautiful to him. But it wasn’t just her beauty that called to him. It was also her mind that drew him in. And even though she was the clumsiest person he had ever known, even that was done with grace.
As she adjusted in her sleep, one of her legs slipped out from under the sheet. Gaze drawn to the curve of her calf and the slimness of her ankle, he ached to reach out and touch her. To kiss the back of her knee and rub his hands over her luscious body. A body he had come to know quite well during the previous night. Her voice, low and husky from sleep, mumbled something that he barely heard.
“Adam….so glad….Adam,” and then she settled down again, falling back into a deep sleep.
Sighing deeply, he wondered if he had gotten his chance at heaven and now it was time for to come back to earth. There was no way he could keep her with him. He was a nerd. A cyber geek in an athlete’s body. Always had been, always would be.
Holding her in his arms and making love to her all night had been amazing. He wondered if that would be enough for her. He doubted that it would be enough for him.

“Hello.”
“Damn, girl! I was calling you last night. You’re such a hussy. I bet you got some, didn’t you?”
“I swear, Lana, when I see you, I’m gonna kick you in the kneecaps.” Roxanne slid her eyes open as her best friend’s voice came over the telephone lines. “It’s too damn early to be messing with you. What do you want?”
Sitting up in the bed, she wrapped the sheet around her body and looked to the side. Not wanting to admit she was looking for Adam, she told herself she was just getting her bearings. Liar!
Where was he? Did he leave without saying goodbye? She was such a fool. What man would want to buy the cow when he could get the milk for free? Her grandma had always told not to be so fast, but she just didn’t listen. Now here she was, waking up alone with no one by her side.
Lost in her thoughts, she was jarred out of her musings by the loud voice of Lana screaming in her ear.
“Roxanne! Are you hearing me?”
/> “Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m here. What did you say again?”
Lana began speaking as if talking to a child, “I…said, I…finally…said YES!”
It took Roxanne a minute to catch on, and then she screamed. Loudly! She jumped out of the bed, forgetting that she was butt-ass naked.
“Hot damn! Really? You’re finally gonna put that man out of his misery?” Laughing out loud, she twirled around and ran into a brick wall and was knocked off her feet
“Oomph! What the…” Looking up, she saw the shocked face of Adam looking down at her.
“Roxanne? What, pray tell, are you screaming about? Is everything okay?” Bending at the waist, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet.
Catching her breath from landing on her ass—again, Roxanne looked at Adam’s state of undress and she became breathless. His chest and feet were bare, and her hands were itching to touch him again. He wore only his pants, the top button undone, showing off the lower part of his stomach. That patch of skin seemed to beg for her kisses.
Just looking at him was getting her all hot and bothered. Damn, who knew nerds could be so sexy.
“Lana, let me call you back later.”
“What? Later? Chick, did you hear what I just told you?”
“Yes, I did, and you know I’m happy for you. But right now, I have some business to take care of.” Closing the phone on her friend calling her name, she threw the phone on the chair near her vanity and turned to the man staring at her with new hunger in his eyes.
“Morning, Adam. I thought you had left.”
His hands went into his front pockets, his pants pulling down slightly in the front. Damn, he had no idea what he was doing to her. “Why would I leave, Roxie? I don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.” Removing his hands from his pockets, he walked up to her and pulled her body flush with his. “As a matter of fact, I have all weekend free, and I plan to spend it in bed. With you.”
“Are you sure it’s me you want and not my twin? Someone who isn’t such a klutz.” Of course, she didn’t have a twin.
