Micah moved upward, leveling his gaze with hers. “There is always time for foreplay, Kat.”
One million skyrocketed to infinity.
Then he touched her, like he promised, delivering more than he promised. She touched him, too, enjoying the way she made such a big, alpha male go weak. Loving the way his body responded to her hands and mouth. The tough guy who’d gone to war, who’d seen and done things that no one should have to, was putty beneath her.
His body quaked and he started to pull away, but she drew him closer.
“I can’t take it any longer,” he growled.
“It’s okay. Stay,” she whispered, not caring about her own satisfaction. She was more than satisfied. “Stay,” she said again, arching up into him and pulling him into a deep kiss. He didn’t pull away again. This time he rocked into her harder, gaining speed until his grip finally tightened around her. He held her so tight, she wondered where her next breath would come from. But she didn’t care.
“It’s your turn,” he whispered, relaxing into her a moment later.
She glanced at the clock on the bedside table. “I’ll have to take a raincheck on that. Julie will be home in ten minutes,” she said, really wishing she didn’t have to kick Micah out of her bed. Waking up with him tomorrow morning would be heaven.
“I only need five minutes,” he said, pulling one of her nipples into his mouth.
She gasped, started to argue, but each word stuck in her throat as he continued to suck. His hand moved between her legs, moving with a rhythm that mimicked the one they’d just found together. Then, true to his word, she found herself biting her lower lip, suppressing her own cries of pleasure.
“Damn. I’ll never tire of doing that for you.” He brushed his lips against hers and got up to collect his clothes.
“I’m glad you came,” she said, dreamily, sitting up.
When he grinned at her, she shook her head. “Came over,” she clarified.
“I just couldn’t sleep without seeing you tonight.”
“You can’t even go a day without me anymore, huh?” She pulled a T-shirt overhead, deciding that was enough to walk him to the door in.
“I can, but I don’t want to.” He kissed her again and then groaned, pulling himself away and heading down the hallway toward the front of the house.
“I’ll see you tomorrow?” she asked.
“Can’t wait.” He opened the front door and they both stared at Julie, who looked between them, grinned, and continued walking inside without saying a word.

Monday morning came too fast, as it always did. The weekends were never long enough, especially when Kat had barely gotten to spend any time with Micah. The time they had spent together, however, had been quality.
Val rapped on Kat’s office door and stepped inside without waiting for her to answer.
“What are you smiling so cheerily about?” Kat asked, taking in her friend’s demeanor. Val looked as giddy as a child with a secret to tell. And knowing Val, she probably did.
“Have you seen the morning paper yet?” Val asked, stepping further inside.
Kat shook her head. She usually avoided the paper until she’d had her second cup of coffee. “What’s in there? Anything good?”
“Oh. You know. There’s a nice write-up on Seaside Elementary, talking more about you than anything else.”
A sick feeling usually crawled through Kat’s stomach when she heard people were talking about her, but judging by the look on Val’s face, she didn’t need to worry this time.
Val flattened the paper in front of her. “Front page, baby.”
Kat’s gaze sharpened on the bold letters topping the newspaper.
Seaside’s Favorite Principal Leads the Path to Success.
Her breath caught in her throat as she skimmed the first few paragraphs.
