Connor lay with Josie beneath him, their limbs entwined, his body throbbing from the aftershock of his orgasm. It had been such an intense build-up with her that his body had thrown everything it had at satisfying his desperate need.
She wriggled beneath him and he levered himself up on his elbows to move his weight off her.
‘Sorry, am I squashing you?’
She smiled up at him, a hazy look in her eyes. ‘Squash away. I was quite enjoying being trapped here under you.’
He laughed, but moved himself into a sitting position, tugging off the condom. Josie reclined back against the pillows, her arms splayed above her head, her breasts rising gently in front of him. He wanted to kiss them, to take her rose-pink nipples in his mouth and gently bite them until she moaned.
So that was what he did, straddling her and sliding a hand down to tease the soft skin of her thighs.
His body was ready for her again in an instant.
Somehow, he’d known they’d end up like this. What he couldn’t have guessed was how incredible it was going to be. Just how much he’d want her even now.
A vague discomfort pushed at the edge of his consciousness, but he ignored it in order to concentrate fully on Josie and her magnificent body.
She writhed beneath him, her pelvis tipped up, arching her back to try and make contact with him again.
He raised his head to look at her. ‘So, was it worth it?’
‘What?’ Her voice sounded guttural after their exertions.
‘Giving in to your instincts for a change?’
‘So worth it.’ She smiled and pulled his face towards hers, kissing him hard on the mouth.
She tasted so sweet. He could happily lose himself in the taste of her, the smell of her skin, the softness of her touch.
‘I’m so glad I let you stay,’ he said, stifling her laugh of protest with a kiss. Pulling away, he looked her in the eye. ‘How’s your head now?’
She gave him a quizzical frown. ‘Are we talking about my pain level or my sanity?’
He laughed. ‘Your headache.’
‘Gone, thanks to your miracle cure.’
She snaked her arms around him, running her fingertips over his back, making the skin tingle where she touched him.
‘Glad to hear it.’
She closed her eyes and exhaled sharply through her nose. ‘This is not at all what I expected from my holiday when I arrived here.’
‘It’s turning out to be a pretty good break after all, huh?’ He pushed a stray lock of hair off her forehead.
She opened her eyes and looked at him. ‘I can’t complain,’ she said, her smile more relaxed than he’d ever seen it. Wriggling up the bed, she extricated herself from the cage of his body and moved to sit up.
‘I don’t know if my legs are going to hold me up.’ She grinned sheepishly at him.
‘Where are you going?’
That couldn’t be it, surely? The thought of being packed off downstairs to sleep made his stomach sink. He’d hoped this had only been the prelude to a long night of exploring Josie’s remarkably responsive body.
‘Bathroom.’
‘Well, hurry up,’ he said, flipping onto his back. He smiled as her gaze slid down his torso to his rock-hard cock and she raised an amused eyebrow.
