that had her gasping for air. She felt herself getting close…so close…she squeezed her eyes shut, moaned…and then he pulled out.
A groan of disappointment rolled out of her throat.
Laughing, Riley turned her around and cupped her butt. “Wrap your legs around me,” he ordered softly.
She obeyed, locking her ankles against his firm ass while she twined her arms around his neck. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” she grumbled. “Switching the pace every five seconds so I can’t come.”
“Are you seriously complaining?” He pumped into her a couple of times, grinning.
She sighed as a wave of pleasure swelled in her womb. “I guess not,” she relented.
“Good,” he said, then captured her mouth and kissed her so deeply she lost all capability of speech.
Curling his fingers against her waist, he plunged in and out as the lukewarm water slid down their bodies, tickling her breasts in the most delicious way. God, she loved the feel of this man inside her. His strong hands caressing her wet skin. His warm lips rubbing against hers. It was too much, and yet not enough.
She wrapped her arms tighter around him, burying her head in the crook of his neck as he thrust into her hot channel, each long, hard stroke intensifying the pleasure building inside her. Finally, it became unbearable, her muscles so tight she couldn’t take it, her pussy aching with the need for release.
She let herself go, and the orgasm rocked her body like a tidal wave crashing into shore. She cried out, her vision nothing more than a red haze and shards of white-hot light. She surrendered to every drop of pleasure consuming her body, moaning when he clasped her hips and quickened his thrusts.
“Oh God,” he choked out, his hot breath fanning against her neck, the words lost in the steam enveloping them like a warm blanket.
She felt his cock throb inside her, and her moan became a growl of frustration when he pulled out, muttered “no condom,” and jerked himself to release. His semen slid down her belly as he groaned and bit her neck.
Perfection.
It was the only word she could come up with to describe what had just happened between them, the only word that did justice to the way she felt when she was with him. They’d been friends for two years, but being with him, really being with him, was a million times better than exchanging some jokes and talking over beers. Now that she knew what she’d been missing, she didn’t think she could ever go back to the way things were.
You’re leaving town, a little voice reminded her.
Biting her lower lip, she moved back under the spray, letting the water soak her hair and face. Damn it. She’d been so distracted by Riley’s raw sex appeal, she’d forgotten about her plans. The day after tomorrow she’d be on a train to New York, where she planned on forgetting all the years of her life she’d put into the Diamond, where she planned on starting over.
But could she really forget about this ? About him ?
“You okay?” His husky voice broke through the sound of streaming water.
She shivered when he wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck.
Was she okay? Not by a long shot. But she couldn’t voice what was on her mind just yet, not when she wasn’t exactly sure what her thoughts actually meant. Was she reconsidering the move? Would Riley even want her to stay? She didn’t want to think about any of that now, didn’t want answers to questions she wasn’t ready to ask herself, or him.
So instead she lied and said, “I’m great.”
Chapter Four
Although she would’ve loved to spend all day and night in bed with Riley, Sam had made plans for a tequila night with the girls and she didn’t have the heart to cancel, especially seeing as she desperately needed someone to talk to. She’d gone to high school with Jane and Callie, and though their lives had taken them in different directions, the three had kept in close touch.
They made an odd
