Em lifted her head to look at me, grinning. “But we’re not all so bad, right?”

“Some of you are better than others,” I grumbled, earning another giggle. “Maybe you should remind me why I like it here.”

She rolled over on top of me. “Hmm. Maybe because it’s so pretty here, with gorgeous views.”

My arms automatically encircled her. With her propped up on my chest, smiling down on me, the soft glow of a lamp highlighting her soft curves that brushed against me, it was indeed the most beautiful sight I knew. “True,” I said before I lifted my head to kiss each of her perfect breasts. “The view is definitely worth it.”

“Maybe because you know people value and take care of each other here.” She started placing kisses all across my chest, working her way down. By the time she reached the center of my stomach, I was as hard as a rock. “I can think of a way you can take care of me,” I said with a gasp as her mouth moved even further down.

Her hair fell in a curtain around her face as I felt her tongue run along my length. My head fell back on the pillow as her hands gripped the base of my dick, and she took another long lick. She continued her teasing until I felt her mouth enclose around the head, causing my hips to surge, seeking more of her attention.

“Fuck,” I groaned. “That feels so good.”

She got more serious then, caressing my balls while she alternated swirling her tongue and sucking. I grabbed her hair so I could watch as my shaft moved in and out of her mouth until I felt a familiar tightening sensation. “I’m gonna come,” I gasped. She didn’t stop, and in a matter of seconds, I released into her mouth with a long, drawn-out growl. She gave one last swirl of her tongue and sat up between my legs, wiping her hand across her mouth, looking like the cat who’d gotten into the cream.

In a matter of seconds, our roles were reversed. A quick swipe of my finger proved she was already wet, just from getting me off. “You liked that, didn’t you, sunshine? Well, I bet you’ll like this even better.” I grasped her thighs and held them wide as I went to town between them, sucking and licking her clit until she was writhing beneath my tongue. I pushed a finger into her wetness, then two. “Zach, oh my…oh, right there…” In seconds, she was convulsing around my fingers.

I didn’t give her time to recover before I rolled her onto her stomach and pulled her hips up. I aligned myself with her opening and pushed into her. Every time I felt her heat and pressure around my cock, I couldn’t imagine anything or anyone else. She was it for me.

I pulled out and slammed back home. My abs tensed, and my hands dug into her skin as I felt myself reach that threshold. “I can’t hold back, baby.” I reached one arm around her chest, clutching her tit in one hand as I pulled her more upright and found her clit with the other. She caught on to my rhythm, moving her hips up and down until I felt her walls tighten and pulse around me. She fell forward on the bed, taking me with her as I pumped two more times before my climax carried me away. As I came back to reality, I could barely fall to her side so I didn’t crush her. After a minute, she rolled to her side. Her cheeks were pink, and her eyes were half-closed, and the smile on her face made me puff up like a caveman.

“Wow. I’m not sure I can move.”

I brushed my fingers down her flushed skin. “Stay here.” I stumbled to the bathroom and took care of the condom that I’d barely remembered to use earlier and returned with a warm washcloth. She watched as I gently cleaned her. “Are you okay?”

“Mm-hmm.”

I crawled back in bed and spooned her, pulling the covers over top of us. “Sleep, baby. I’ll make sure you’re up to go back home.” I longed for a time when she could stay with me with no worries about being somewhere so early in the morning. A minute later, she was sound asleep. I set an alarm and enjoyed the moment I did have with her.

“I needto head back to Charlotte sometime soon.” I glanced over at Emalee beside me as I drove her home. It was still dark out, but I sensed her tense as she turned to me.

“For how long?”

“I thought I would make sure there are no surgeries scheduled and make it a three-day weekend. I need to get some more clothes and a few other things. I didn’t have a lot of time to get things together when I first came. I’m getting tired of wearing the same clothes. Besides, it’s getting warmer, and I have all winter stuff.”

“Iain will miss you.”

“Just Iain?”

She smirked. “I might notice you’re gone after a day or so and no one’s taken the trash out for me.”

I chuckled and reached over and held her hand, holding it on the center console. “He has a break from school coming up, doesn’t he?”

“In a couple of weeks, yes.”

“I was thinking maybe you and he could come with me.”

“To Charlotte?” I heard her surprise.

I heard the hesitancy in her voice and started on all the reasons I’d already thought of to convince her this was a good idea. “Sure. I thought it would be good for the three of us to spend some time together without interruptions. I know it’s hard for you to get away, but if you could arrange for the extra help, maybe it could work.”

I squeezed her fingers when I knew she was about to interrupt. “Your mom wouldn’t be busy looking after Iain, so she’d have a little bit of extra time. And maybe Shannon would be willing to pick up extra hours. I’ll pay for them.”

“Zach, that’s a generous offer, but you don’t have to do that.” She squeezed my hand.

I brought her hand to my lips as I turned down Main Street. “I can afford it. I know you feel like you have to save for the inn, but you also deserve a break. You work so damn hard, harder than most people I know. Maybe it’s time for you to think about some help permanently. This would be like a good trial.”
