“I don’t have any more condoms.”
I nip her shoulder. “We don’t have to…”
“Yes, we do.” She cuts me off. “I might not get another chance, Ethan.”
I’m about to tell her that I’ll make love to her any time she wants. But she keeps talking.
“I’m on the pill. I started taking it a few months ago as a backup…” There’s a hopeful note to her voice.
“I’m clean.” I grind into her again, not able to help myself. “I haven’t been with anyone for a long time, and I get regular checkups.”
Her body relaxes. “So we can…?” She reaches a hand between her legs and grasps my cock in her palm.
“Fuck, Lucy, we’re not going to make it that far if you keep doing that.”
She giggles and continues tugging on my cock. But the thought of being inside her with nothing between us has me pulling her hands away. “I need to be inside you.”
I roll her over and nestle between her legs. The whites of her eyes shine in the darkness as my cock notches at her entrance.
This time as I slide in the sensation is almost too much. Lucy tilts her head back as her eyes roll back in her head.
“Keep your eyes on me.” I want to see her reaction as I enter her. I want to watch her take all of me with nothing between us. I want to watch her come, and I want to see her eyes widen when I shoot my seed into her.
Her eyes flick open, and I continue my slow slide into her sticky heat. Her body squeezes me tight and sucks me in. Her legs wrap around me, and we’re locked together.
As our bodies move in sync, I know without a doubt that this is no ordinary one night stand. I’m sure she feels this connection as much as I do. I’ve never felt this close to anyone. But will she want me tomorrow? Is this just one night for her?
We make love slowly and come together, entwined in each other. It feels amazing to explode inside her and afterwards I hold her close, not wanting to waste the night with sleep.
I must doze off, because a few hours later she wakes me again, and we make love once more. This time I flip her onto her stomach, making sure her sore ankle stays in the air.
I take her roughly from behind with her face pressed into the pillow. It’s rough and unromantic, but I need to claim her this way, to prove to myself that I can still walk away from her tomorrow if she doesn’t want me.
Only instead of making me feel more detached, I only crave her more. She rubs circles over her clit and cries my name as she comes undone.
I pump into her, trying to make it impersonal, but it’s impossible. Lucy is mine. My body knows it, and my heart can’t deny it any longer.
Once we’re finished, I pull her tight against my body and hold her close.
I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I’ll find a way to see her again. Winter Town is only an hour away. I’ll drive there every day to see her if I have to. If she wants me to.
Her breathing gets heavy, and I kiss her shoulder gently. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” I whisper, but she’s already asleep.

LUCY
Iwake in the predawn light with my body pressed against Ethan’s and his arm draped over me, his hand resting possessively on my hip.
He breathes heavily in a deep sleep, no doubt worn out from last night’s activities. A warm feeling surges through me as I think about last night. I had no idea sex would feel so good, and I had no idea it would make me feel connected to Ethan, a complete stranger. The thought of crawling out of bed and putting an end to our night makes me shiver.
But I’m not going to be the clingy one night stand. He made it very clear this was a one-time thing. That he would help me out with what I needed, but that was it.
He told me he doesn’t do relationships. He’s been married before, and whatever happened has him sworn off women.
I’m not going to be a fool and think this was anything more than a one night thing. We had a contract. He fulfilled his end. My end of the bargain was not to want anything more than what he gave me.
I’m not going to be the naive girl who falls for a guy because we were intimate. This is what I wanted, to lose my virginity. Now I need to keep my emotions out of it.
