Page 34 of Written with Love

He could have sworn the earth shifted and slowed. With each heartbeat, every breath, ever moan of delight, he drew closer to the edge of no return. Then he felt her convulsing around him and with a burst of bright light and a cry of freedom, they both fell over together.

“I am never moving again,” he groaned softly.

“You’d better. Soon,” she said against his shoulder. “There may be enough room on this thing for you at night, but I doubt I’d make it through an hour with your weight pinning me down.”

He rolled over quickly until she was spread out on top of his chest, making sure they didn’t land on the floor.

“Better?” he asked, running his hands slowly over her soft curves.

“This will do for a while. Until we get hungry and remember your kitchen isn’t fully put back together.” She sighed and laid her head down on his chest. “Then I suppose we’ll have to head somewhere for dinner.”

“I’m working on the bedroom tomorrow. So that next time we do this, I’ll have a proper bed for you to enjoy,” he promised. “And I’ll make sure to move the new refrigerator and at least the microwave into the kitchen as well.”

She shifted and then looked down at him. “Don’t forget a shower.” She smiled and he felt his heart kick hard in his chest.

“Right.” He cupped her face and gently ran his thumb over her cheek. “I should have…”

She shook her head. “It’s like camping. I’ve roughed it plenty of times with my family over the years. I’m not like those Hollywood starlets that snap in half if someone doesn’t open a door for them.”

“No, you aren’t,” he said, grinning up at her. “It’s what first drew me to you.” He reached around and gripped her backside. “And this.”

She laughed. “You’re an ass man?”

He chuckled. “You make a pretty package in your work outfit.”

She rolled her eyes. “I had salsa all over my top.”

“I bet you would have tasted as good as you looked.” He leaned up and kissed her. “Just like now.”

She laughed but then his mouth covered hers and her laughter died and turned into a low moan.

“We’ll order delivery,” he said against her skin as she shifted above him and nodded in agreement. “Later.”

Heat. Passion. Juliette.

So many different things flooded his mind and his senses, and when she slid onto him, whispered his name, and melted around him, nothing could have held him back from falling completely.
