years. Not since the last time they’d been together.
    Her hands slipped beneath the thin cotton of his T-shirt, her fingers trailing over the taut ridges of his abdomen as he shuddered beneath her touch. With one motion, she yanked at the shirt and had it over his head and sailing across the bar.
    “God, Jess. I can’t wait to get you in a bed.” Desperation tinged his voice.
    “Don’t wait. Here and now.”
    He sat her on the edge of the bar as his hands pushed her shirt above her breasts and then over her head, and his gaze was molten as he took in the sight of the white lace bra she wore. She leaned back, her torso long and limber, and his lips trailed down the long column of her neck to the swell of her breasts. She saw stars as his hot mouth clamped over her lace-covered nipple.
    “If we keep going at this pace I won’t make it thirty seconds.”
    “It’s okay,” she panted. “I won’t hold it against you. You can make it up to me the second time. Or third.”
    “You always were ambitious,” he said, laughing.
    Her breath caught as his hands moved up, molding her, cupping her breasts and weighing them in his hands before he released the clasp in front and let them free.
    He groaned and the sound sent chills of anticipation over her skin. “I’ve always loved your breasts.”
    “They’re small.”
    “They’re perfect.” He pushed the cups out of the way and the skimmed his thumbs over the dusky pink nipples that spiked beneath his touch. “See how well we fit?”
    Before she could answer his tongue traced the same path as his fingers and her head dropped back on a moan. His mouth was hot against her fevered skin, and his cheeks hollowed as he began to suckle. She felt every stroke and every flick of his tongue at the moist center between her thighs, and she tightened her legs around him, searching for the release she wanted.
    He flipped open the button of her shorts and teased them both as his fingers dipped just inside the elastic band of her panties.
    “Hurry,” she begged.
    “Not this time, sweetheart.”
    He tucked his hands under her bottom and pulled at the denim cutoffs she wore until she was force to uncurl her legs from around his waist. They fell to the floor so she was only left in the matching lace thong she wore.
    “Those are very nice, but they’re going to have to go.”
    “I hope so. And the sooner the better.” Jess whimpered as his fingers trailed over the damp lace and teased the hidden bud within. And then his thumbs tucked beneath the elastic and he pulled them of in one fell swoop so she was completely bared to him.
    “Impatient, aren’t you?”
    Her fingers tugged at the button on his shorts and they trembled as she lowered the zipper. She pushed down his shorts and underwear until they caught at his hips and he sprang hot and heavy into her hand.
    “Oh, yes. Very impatient.” She stroked him once before he grabbed her hand and pulled it away.
    “I get to touch first,” he said, kissing her belly as his lips trailed a damp path down her hipbone and farther down to her inner thigh. Her breath caught in anticipation and her hips arched as his mouth covered her sex. She went blind and deaf as his tongue zeroed in on familiar territory and she tried to hold back a scream as he sent her flying.
    When she came to he was lifting her from the bar and setting her on her feet. Her legs felt like jelly and she was past the point of desperate to feel him inside her. Her muscles trembled and she caught herself against the counter to keep her balance.

    Luke almost smiled at the dazed expression on her face. The taste of her was like a drug to his system and he was addicted. He’d thought he could take her here where they stood—a fast and furious coupling to ease the pain and loss they’d both experienced. But after he’d felt her go liquid beneath him he knew it needed to be more.
    He flipped the switch at the wall and the bar went dark, leaving
