“Yeah?  So, that means you were thinking something.  Care to share?” he asked, tugging the blanket away so that he could admire her nakedness unhindered. He slid his hands over her stomach in a sensuous, lazy pattern.  That was one thing about Tarin that she really appreciated.  He loved to touch.  A lot of the time, it wasn’t even sexual.  He just loved touching her.  He preferred to have her snuggled against him while they slept.  He loved touching her while they ate, maybe tucking her hair behind her ear, or as was the case Sunday night, they’d ordered pizza and ate it curled up together on the bed with one of his arms around her and his back as her pillow.

She really liked this affectionate side of him.  It told her that he liked her not just sexually; he also really liked just being with her.  It made her feel all warm and gushy inside, which was a completely new feeling.

“Are you ready to go home?” he asked as he pulled her into his arms.

“No,” she sighed, snuggling closer and resting her hand on his ridged stomach, her head on his shoulder.

He laughed and she felt it all the way down to her toes.  “Me neither,” he kissed the top of her head.  “Unfortunately, that was the last firm I wanted to talk with, so our preliminary work is done.”

She contemplated that, wondering what would happen when they returned to Izara.

“I don’t want this to end when we go back home,” he told her, reading her mind.

She sat up, gazing into those amazing eyes of his.  “You don’t?”

A strange expression slipped across his face.  “You think we’ll have had enough of each other after this?” he asked.

She bit her lip. “No.  I don’t think that will happen.  At least, not on my side of this thing.”  She didn’t add that she doubted she’d ever get over him, never get enough time with him.  But he didn’t want to hear that.  Not from her.

And because she felt so strongly, she needed to show him.  Instead of waiting for him to make the first move this time, she shifted, pressing against his chest until he was flat on the bed and threw her leg over his hips. “I don’t want this to end,” she admitted, kissing his chest, letting her hands slide along his muscles, feeling them ripple under her fingertips.  “Not yet, anyway.”

Tarin closed his eyes as her soft, tentative lips kissed his chest, hissing when she licked his nipples.  Already, he was hard and ready for her.  But this was pretty damn nice too.  He loved the way she touched him, as if he were something special.  Her fingers smoothed over his skin, sliding and exploring, her mouth following, her tongue darting out to taste him.  He loved it.  He loved every moment of her attention.  Hell, he loved her!

Tarin didn’t say that.  Not yet.  She’d run away if he admitted it.  In her mind, it was probably too soon for declarations of love.  But in his mind, he’d been in love with her forever.  At least since that first day she’d walked into his office, asking sweetly for something Talia needed.  He’d watched her flowered skirt swish around her legs, so demure and yet, so incredibly sexy!

He hadn’t known about her love of sexy underwear back then, and never would have guessed.  Knowing now, seeing the way other men looked at her, curious, as if they knew that she was more than just another pretty face, but not sure what it was about her that drew their attention, he wanted to laugh and shout with joy because he knew Rachel’s secrets.

She hid herself underneath those flowered dresses and…he even liked that!  He loved knowing her secrets and her desires, loved knowing that she gasped when he did certain things.

He’d been floating for several moments, enjoying the way her fingers and mouth moved over his stomach.  But he hadn’t been paying attention to her other hand…until her fingers wrapped around his shaft!

He almost bolted upright, but those huge, green eyes looked at him, startled and suddenly unsure.  “Yes!” he groaned, trying to give her encouragement.  But already, he felt like he was going to explode.

“What do you like?” she asked nervously, but with an eager look in her eyes.

“Like this,” he rasped, taking her hand and showing her how to move it over his erection.  He wanted her mouth on him too, but…!  “Damn it Rachel!” he groaned, falling backwards as he felt her hot, wet mouth close over him.  Her hand moved and her mouth surrounded him, her tongue caressing and…he couldn’t hold back!

“Honey, I can’t…!” he tried to pull away, but her hand tightened on his shaft and she sucked harder and…he lost control.  He exploded and he fell backwards, his hands gripping her hair carefully for fear of pressing her down too hard during the throes of a climax that was hard and fast and…mind-blowing!

When he had his breath back, he opened his eyes to find her straddling him, watching him with that sexy smile that he loved so much.

“Oh, you are so going to pay for that,” he warned a moment before he flipped their positions.

“But…I thought you enjoyed it,” she protested, laughing when he grabbed her wrists and held them up over her head, guiding her hands to grip the headboard.  His hands immediately cupped her breasts, his mouth covering that sensitive tip and sucking.  Hard!

He heard her gasp and didn’t relent, moving from one taut peak to the other, making her cry out and arch her body, which only pressed her breasts deeper into his mouth.

Moving lower, he kissed and teased, all the while, pressing her legs wider.

Tarin smiled when she tried to wiggle away from him.  She knew what he was about to do. He’d done it
