thighs and lifted her without breaking the kiss.
    Nearly breathless, she wrapped her legs around him. The hard bulge of him pressed against her, and she felt her panties grow damp. He settled her on the edge of the makeshift bed and she scooted back, grabbing his shirt to urge him inside with her. “Don’t wait,” she said. “I’ve already waited five years.”
    “I don’t plan to.”
    He was over her, one hand sliding up her shirt. His fingers skimmed the sheer fabric of her bra, found a nipple and teased it hard. “My God, you’re beautiful,” he breathed. “I need to see all of you.” He pushed her shirt up and slipped it over her head, pulling it off as she raised her arms.
    “Same here,” she said with a smile, and tugged at his t-shirt hem. “Off with the shirt.”
    He obliged quickly, grinning at her as she sucked in a breath at the sight of his tanned, chiseled perfection. “I love the way you speak your mind,” he said.
    “You know, normally I’d find that really sexy,” she said. “But can you just admire my body right now, and my mind later? It could really use the attention.”
    “With pleasure.”
    He tugged her pants off and slid out of his own, while she unclasped her bra and threw it aside. The sight of his hard cock had her wet with need, her inner thigh muscles twitching. “Oh, God, hurry,” she rasped. “Or I’m going to start without you.”
    He lowered himself until he pressed against her, the tip of his hot length teasing the dampness between her legs. “I’d almost rather wait to see that,” he said in low tones. “But I need you too much.”
    With that, he entered her in a single, long thrust.
    She gasped. Her arms flew around him, her hands stroking his muscled back, urging him on as he pulled back and slowly rocked into her. The way he filled her was amazing—she could feel every throb and flutter, every ridge sliding against her most sensitive spots.
    He drove deeper, and she clenched around him, drawing an animal cry from his throat. She responded with a shout of her own, lifting her hips to match his increasing thrusts. Heat coiled deep in her belly as the sweet friction pushed her higher.
    Her breath quickened to shallow sips. Just as she knew the tension would split her open, he thrust hard and cried out her name, sending her into a blinding, shuddering climax that seemed to last forever.
    With a brief shiver, Reese collapsed beside her, one leg thrown over both of hers. “You’re incredible,” he murmured, nuzzling her neck. “Thank you for that.”
    She smiled, still trying to catch her breath. “For being incredible, or for the sex in general?”
    “Both.”
    “You’re welcome, then,” she said. “It was good for me, in case you’re wondering.”
    He propped himself on an elbow and smoothed her hair from her face, with a touch as light as a feather. His eyes were dark with pleasure, but there was something sad in them too. Something that hurt to look at.
    He gave a tentative smile, and half-whispered, “Still friends?”
    At once, her warm glow vanished. She managed to keep her expression neutral while ice crept through her veins and headed for her heart. “Still friends,” she said, hoping she didn’t sound as flat as she felt.
    She’d known this was going to hurt her somehow. But she didn’t expect it to happen this soon…or hurt so much.
    Holding back a sigh, she sat up and started gathering her clothes. At least Reese was accommodating enough to move his leg, so she didn’t have to shove it off. “You can just take me back to The Klinker,” she said. “My car’s in the lot. I’ll drive home from there.”
    “Luka, I didn’t mean—”
    “Don’t.” She yanked her shirt on and glared at him. “You want to be friends? That’s fine. But we’re not going to be if you start making excuses, because I don’t want to hear them. So just leave it where it is now, all right?”
    His expression tightened briefly, and went blank. “Got
