  He smiled and handed the phone back to Savanna.

  “Here you go. Put my cell and my home number in it.”

  Savanna smiled and replaced the phone in her purse. She had a cute little smile on her face, making him wonder what had put it there.

  “What are you smiling about?” he asked.

  “Nothing. Just thinking about watching movies is all.”

  “Movies! I forgot all about them. I’ll be right back. Left them on the bike.” He raced for the door.

  He had been so intent on seeing her again, he had totally forgotten about the movies he had in the saddlebags. It made him grin. First time he had forgotten something like that all because of a woman. Hell, not just any woman—Savanna. There was something about her that made her special. He couldn’t put his finger on what it was, but it really didn’t matter to him. All he cared about was enjoying it.

  He reached his bike and unlocked the saddlebags. He’d brought four different movies. All action, because he didn’t know what she liked. He was sure it would be some chick flick, but they could watch those another night. Dustin had purposefully chosen the ones with actors most women loved, to make up for the action part of the movies. He grinned to himself. He would know who she liked most by which movie she picked out to watch.

  When he returned with the movies, he noticed she seemed a little quieter than before. What had changed in the few seconds he had been gone? Had she had a phone call that upset her? No, couldn’t have been that. He hadn’t been gone long enough for a phone call. He sighed and dropped the movies on the couch. With women, there was no telling about their moods.

  “Dinner is just about ready,” she called from the kitchen.

  “I’ll run and wash my hands,” he said as he walked by the kitchen.

  Dustin washed his hands in the bathroom and returned to the kitchen to find the bar set for two and the casserole already out on the stove. Savanna was just putting the rolls on the top of the stove. He wrapped his arms around her and bent to kiss her neck.

  “Thanks for cooking dinner tonight. It smells great.”

  “It wasn’t any problem. I don’t mind cooking when there’s more than just me to eat it.” She sounded a little more like her normal self.

  “Still, you could have spent more time with your friend if not for cooking for me.” Dustin let go of her and took the plate she handed him.

  “I had enough time. She’s doing better. I’ll check on her again tomorrow.”

  He watched Savanna dip out a large spoonful of the casserole and was surprised when she put it on his plate. He wasn’t used to being served. She offered him a roll and sat down. He sat next to her and leaned over to kiss her. She smiled when he pulled back.

  “What was that for?” she asked.

  “Just because.” He smiled when she raised her eyebrows at him.

  They ate in silence, but it was an amicable silence. He was comfortable with it. She seemed to be, as well.

  Once they finished eating, he cleared the bar and washed up their plates while she tended to the casserole. As soon as the dishes were put away, he grabbed her hand and dragged her into the living room. Then he sat her on the couch and handed her the four DVDs.

  “Okay, I know they’re action movies, but pick the least offensive one you see. Next time, you can choose the movies, and I’ll watch whatever you pick out.” He made it a point to cringe.

  She swatted him. “Don’t worry. I’ll choose the mushiest chick flick I can find.”

  “I knew I could count on you.”

  He watched Savanna go through the DVDs. She set out two right away. Then she turned them over and read the back of each one. She chose the latest Die Hard one and handed it to him.

  “Here you go. I can handle his movies. I liked the first ones okay.” She smiled and sank back on the couch.

  He got up and put the DVD in the player and fiddled with it a second to make sure it was on the right channel. Then he sat next to her on the couch and put his arm around her. He squeezed her and kissed her cheek. The movie came on, and they watched. She made several comments throughout the movie. Strange, they didn’t bother him. He normally didn’t like someone talking during the movie. Either it was because it was her, or he’d watched the movie enough times it didn’t matter.

  When the credits rolled, he started to get up, but she stopped him with a hand on his arm.

  “Wait, I want to read the credits and see who I knew in it that I didn’t recognize. There is always someone I failed to notice.”

  It struck him as funny. He normally watched the credits as well. He’d already seen these several times, though. Still, he waited till they were finished to turn off the DVD and TV. He looked through her CD collection and chose a mellow one. He put it in her CD player and turned it on low.

  “Want to dance?” he asked.

  She smiled and drifted into his arms. “I’d love to dance.”

  He held her tight and nuzzled until he could kiss her temple and then next to her eye. He loved the way she shivered in his arms when he reached her ear. He drew her earlobe into his mouth and sucked it. She giggled, and he smiled. He loved hearing her laugh, and the giggle was almost as good. His lips found their way down her neck. He drew back and looked at her. Her eyes were closed with a relaxed expression on her face. She opened them and smiled. Her eyes were dark with passion, and he was sure she would be ready for him should he check.

  That would wait. He enjoyed just holding her in his arms. She stopped dancing long enough to rise up on tiptoes to kiss him. It was a quick, soft kiss. He wasn’t having any of that. He bent over and took her mouth, deepening the kiss. He sucked her tongue then her lower lip. Her soft moan was music to his ears. She aroused so easily. It thrilled him to know he turned her on as much as she turned him on. He wanted more, more of her kisses and more of her body. He wanted all of her.

  Chapter Six

  He hugged her tighter then ran his hands down to her ass and squeezed her there, drawing her even closer to his body. His erection pressed into her abdomen. She drew in a deep breath and nuzzled her face into his neck. She could barely reach his neck with her lips, but she managed to suck lightly at it. It was the last straw. Dustin reached down and picked her up. It was time for the bedroom and the bed. He wouldn’t take her on the couch or the floor. Maybe another time, but not tonight.

  She squealed. “Put me down. I’m too heavy for you to carry.”

  “No, you’re not. Just be still so I don’t drop you.” He grinned when she tightened her arms around his neck.

  The bed was already turned back partway. She must have planned on them ending up there at some point in the night. It dawned on him that maybe she had planned on that instead of the movie. That would explain the change in her between the time he went to get the movies and the time he got back. It swelled his ego to know she would rather have sex with him than watch a movie.

  Dustin released her legs and let her slide down his body until her feet reached the floor. She took a step back and began to slowly unbutton her blouse. He grabbed the comforter and top sheet and pulled it down to the foot of the bed. Then he sat down to watch the show. She finished unbuttoning her blouse and then slowly slipped it down her shoulders and off. Then she unbuttoned her slacks and turned around. Savanna bent over and removed her shoes. Then she let her slacks slide down her legs. She stood up again and stepped out of them. When she turned around, all that was left were her bra and panties. They were a matching set of bold red. The panties had a little bow on the front. A matching bow decorated the bra at the cleavage.

  “Wait, I think I want to unwrap this present myself.” Dustin crooked his finger, urging her closer.

  He watched her saunter over. She smiled and turned around, but he wanted her facing him. He turned her back around. Then he settled her between his legs and gazed at her. He leaned forward and sucked in a nipple through the lacy material. She gasped then groaned. The sound urged him to cross over to the other nipple. He r
an a finger along the inside of the bra along the top of her breasts. She shivered.

  Dustin reached around her and unclasped the bra. He pulled it from the bow until it fell from her shoulders. He let it slide down her body and to the floor. Her breasts stood out, ready for his mouth. He mounded them and then licked each nipple until she moaned and leaned into him. He took it for the invitation it was and sucked first one then the other. He slid his hands down her sides and pushed at the lace-covered panties until they dropped from her body. He was growing impatient now. His cock was fully engorged.

  Savanna’s scent enticed him to tease her opening. Then he stood up and turned them around so he could lay her back on the bed. He sank to his knees and peeled her open like a fragrant flower. She whimpered when he licked her. He smiled and did it again and again until she writhed on the bed. He found her clit and sucked it in to tease with his tongue. She reached out and grabbed hold of his hair. He laughed against her moist flesh and slid one finger inside her followed by a second one. They moved in and out, in and out. He flicked her clit with his thumb and laughed when she jerked hard on his hair.

  He’d had enough. He stood back up and began undressing. She lay there and watched with heavy lidded eyes. He remembered this time to grab a condom out of his pocket and applied it in no time.

  “Climb further up on the bed, honey. I want to have plenty of room.”

  She complied, and when she would have reached for him, he shook his finger at her.

  “Put your hands above your head and hold on to the headboard. Don’t move them.”

  She smirked up at him but complied.

  Dustin climbed up and leant over to lick her belly. She giggled and started to move her hands, but he shook his head. She stuck her tongue out at him but left them there.

  He picked up her legs and placed them over his arms before positioning his cock at her entrance. He watched her face as he slowly pushed inside. She arched her back to help him. God, she felt so good.

  “You’re so hot and tight. It feels like a silk glove hugging my cock,” he rasped.

  “You’re so big. You feel me up,” she returned.

  He gave one final thrust and reached the end of her. She groaned.

  Dustin stopped to catch his breath and hopefully cool himself off. He didn’t want to come as soon as he got there. Instead, he bent over her and kissed her. She began to move her arms, but once again, he stopped her.

  “Leave them there.”

  “I want to touch you. I need to touch you, Dustin.”

  He shook his head. “You can touch me later. Right now, I want your hands out of my way so I can love you the way I want to.”

  He sat back up and withdrew only to plunge home once again. He fucked her hard and quick. He felt the first ripples of her orgasm and reached down to press hard at her clit. She exploded around him, sending him over right after her. Her scream told him it was good. He collapsed and then rolled to the side.

  She panted and finally managed to talk. “Can I move my hands now? I can’t catch my breath.”

  “Sorry. Yes.” He wasn’t having much luck himself.

  He curled around her and pulled her back into his body. This felt good to him. It was what he enjoyed after sex with her. The cuddling made it all the better. She wiggled her butt against him. He smiled.

  “You keep that up and we’ll be in trouble.”

  Muffled laughter came from beneath a pillow.

  “Are you cold?” he asked.

  “A little.”

  He reached down and pulled up the covers, tucking them around her. He realized he didn’t want to leave. He was in deep with Savanna.

  * * * *

  Filtered sunlight inched across Savanna’s face. She opened one eye and focused on the clock next to her bed. Ugh, it was only eight o’clock in the morning. Dustin had woken her up several times in the night and early morning to make love. Hmm, make love? No, have sex. That was the right term for a fuck buddy, right? Back on track. It’s too early to get up, girl. Go back to sleep. Unfortunately, the sun was persistent, and she needed the bathroom in a major way.

  Dustin’s arm lay across her chest, and his leg was thrown across her legs. How could she extract herself without waking him up. She felt his warm breath against the back of her neck, and it brought a smile to her face. It felt good to wake up with a man’s body wrapped around her.

  She tried easing from under his body, but he tightened his arm around her.

  “Hmm, where are you going?” he asked in a husky voice.

  “Bathroom. I’ll be back.”

  He harrumphed and moved his arm and leg from around her. Savanna slipped out of bed and walked to the bathroom. Once she had finished in there, she crept to the kitchen. She was wide awake now. No sense in lying awake. She needed coffee. Maybe she would cook breakfast a little later, too. She smiled at that. She hadn’t cooked breakfast for a man in a long time. It would be fun.

  Fun. She realized she was having fun. This affair, for want of a better word, was good for her. Karen had been right. She had been bored with her sex life. In fact, she had been bored with her life in general. Nothing like hot sex to put a new spring in her step. Dustin was just what the doctor ordered, if she had gone to a doctor. Laughter bubbled up, and she had to stifle it for fear of waking Dustin up. He could sleep a bit longer. She enjoyed this time alone.

  She could think about Karen’s problems. That put a damper on her mood. She didn’t know if blackmailing her boss was going to work. It was all she could come up with on short notice. She had been desperate for an answer for her problem. Karen had to work late Monday night. Savanna would slip into the building with her camera and catch them in a compromising act. Then she would run. She had to trust that Karen could take care of herself with Martin.

  Maybe if she got this under control, Karen would look at patching things up with Ben. They had really been a great couple, and up until the last month, she seemed to be deliriously happy. Had the idea of settling down really been that scary to her? Savanna wanted to settle down with Mr. Right. Sure, she was having fun with Mr. Wrong. It couldn’t hurt to have fun while looking.

  He didn’t strike her as a settle down sort of guy. She considered his job situation. He didn’t seem to care about working full-time for a living. Nothing was wrong with that as long as he could live that way. But, Savanna wanted someone with more stability in their life. The problem was finding someone both stable and good in bed. So far, she had struck out in that department. She’d dated plenty of men who were stable and had good jobs, but they hadn’t impressed her in bed. None of them got her hot just by looking at them. Not like Dustin did.

  She poured a cup of coffee as soon as it quit dripping. It tasted great first thing in the morning. She was about to scout out the fridge for what was available for breakfast when a hand reached around her waist and pulled her up close to a very happy man.

  “Hey, beautiful. Thought you were going to come back to bed.”

  “Sorry, I was wide awake and decided on coffee and breakfast instead,” she answered.

  Dustin kissed her behind the ear after moving her hair aside. Then he hugged her tight before letting her go.

  “I’ll cook pancakes if you have the mixings for them.”

  “Ooh, yes! Let me look and see if I have everything.” She pulled out of his arms and bent back over to peer into the refrigerator for milk, butter, and eggs.

  “Got everything, it looks like,” she said.

  The milk was still in date, thank goodness. The eggs were fresh and the butter—was butter. She grinned and presented him with her bounty. He gathered the eggs and butter before she dropped them and set them on the counter.

  “Do you have mix?”

  “Mix? I thought you were going to make them from scratch.” She pouted.

  “If you had buttermilk, I would. But alas, no buttermilk. So, you get a mix instead.”

  She sighed dramatically and went to search her cabinets to see if sh
e had a mix. Nope. No mix. But, she had Bisquick. Pancakes after all!

  “How about this?” She handed him the Bisquick and smiled in triumph.

  “Perfect.” He took it and added it to the pile of cooking ingredients.

  “I’m going to take a shower while you mix them up.” Savanna jumped out of the way when a towel popped at her.

  “Have some coffee, it might put you in a better mood,” she said and ran off toward the bedroom.

  She jumped in the shower and was just about to get out when the shower door opened and a very naked Dustin climbed in.

  “How about I wash your back and you can wash mine?”

  “What about the pancakes? I’m really looking forward to them.” She handed him the cloth and soap.

  “I made up the batter. It will be fine until we get out.” Dustin soaped up the bath cloth and turned her around.

  He scrubbed her back nice and slow. He massaged her neck and back with his other hand. It felt oh-so-good. He made circles with the soap and traveled down to her butt then washed between her legs, though she had already taken care of that part. His fingers slid between her pussy lips. He slipped two inside her and moved them around just enough to make her hot. Then he removed them and went back to washing her ass. Now she was all hot and ready. He’d left her high and dry. Asshole. He cleaned her from foot to neck and then turned her around to rinse the soap off. Savanna took the bath cloth from him and, after rinsing it, soaped it back up.

  She turned him around and began washing his shoulders. She held on to him to keep from slipping on the soapy bottom of the tub. She couldn’t help it when her breasts slid along his back. When she finished with his shoulders and neck, she moved to his back and smiled at the pattern her breasts had left. She scrubbed him like he had done to her and then moved to his yummy ass. Savanna soaped the cloth up again and nudged his legs apart so she could reach his balls. She ran the cloth all along the inside of his thighs before reaching between his legs with her bare hand and massaging them. She cupped them and rolled them gently around in her hands. He put both hands against the back of the tub and groaned.
