around her waist and gathered her closer.  “Warm enough?  Because I’m sure I can get your body temperature up a whole lot faster than that hunk of terrycloth.”
     
    The sexual tension hung between them, magnetic and utterly irresistible in spite of her resolve not to kiss him again.  She pressed her palms against the hard muscles of his chest and was surprised at how rapidly his heart was beating.  Was she doing this to him?  She lifted her head, green eyes meeting brown, and once again felt a rush of heat as her inner muscles tightened. 
     
    Whether she made the first move or he did, Miranda didn’t know, but the need to feel his mouth on hers was much too strong to question or resist.  What started out as a hesitant meeting of the lips turned hot and hungry within seconds and had her clinging to him like a human vine.
     
    She was only vaguely aware that he’d lifted her in his arms because his mouth never left hers, but when he eased her back onto the bed and lowered himself over her, she was fully cognizant of the reaction her body had.  Jack braced himself on his elbows to keep the bulk of his weight off of her as he continued to kiss her.  Even so, she gloried in the way she sank into the soft mattress and the feel of him pressing her deeper and deeper as the urgency of his love making escalated.  
     
    She’d been kissed before of course, but never like this; never with such fire and passion and unrelenting
need
.  Miranda boldly tugged his shirt loose from his jeans and slid her hands beneath the material, letting let out a deep, throaty moan when her fingers touched bare skin.
     
    Reluctantly, Jack lifted his head and waited for her to open her eyes.  He’d never seen any woman look as enticingly beautiful as Miranda was at that moment and wanted nothing more than to strip her naked and bury himself in the warmth of her body.  Her face was flushed, her lips slightly parted, and when her eyelids finally fluttered open, he saw the raw desire reflected in her eyes. It took every ounce of will power he possessed to keep from kissing her again.
     
    “I want you, Miranda, more than I’ve ever wanted any woman in my life, but I have to be honest. I’m not interested in a long term relationship. I’m just not cut out for it and want to make sure you understand that before this goes any further.  I think making love to you will be the single most pleasurable experience of my life, but it won’t be anything more than that; a pleasurable experience.” 
     
    He lowered his head and gave her a soft kiss.  “I don’t want you to do this because you think you owe me something for coming to your rescue tonight in the parking lot. I don’t want any doubts now, or any regrets later.”
     
    Miranda was hardly in a position to maintain any clear thoughts, but she did know one thing.  She wanted Jack.  She wanted him to make love to her. And she wanted to fall asleep wrapped in his strong arms and wake up in the morning to his handsome face.  Tomorrow when she left him, she could look back on it and see it for what it was; a purely satisfying sexual encounter that they had both wanted. 
     
    There would be no guilt afterwards and no strings attached.  Maybe he wasn’t Holt, but he was as close as she was ever going to get and that was good enough for her.  Cupping his face in her hands, she drew him down for a long, lingering kiss.
     
    “I am grateful for what you did tonight, but that’s not why I’m doing this.  I want you, Jack.  It’s as plain and simple as that.  I’m not asking for forever, I’m just asking for tonight.”
     
    “You’re sure?”
     
    A soft smiled curved her lips.  “I’m sure.”
     
    “Thank God,” he sighed as he tugged on the tie of her robe. 
     
    An animalistic growl rumbled deep in his chest when he folded the material back to expose her naked breasts.  They were full and round, softer than the finest silk and incredibly sensitive to his
