Her arms instantly snaked around him as their tongues met and bodies pressed together tightly, her breasts pressed to his chest.
Lifting her into his arms, their kiss didn’t break as her legs wrapped around him, and he carried her from the bathroom. In the bedroom, the candles provided the only light into the room. Mia stopped kissing him and looked around.
“Sheets? Have you grown up, Raff?” she teased.
“I try to be an adult sometimes.” Setting her on the bed, he hoped she wouldn’t get cold feet again.
When she laughed he relaxed. He had started to realize the trick to relaxing her was letting her talk.
“You sure had some adult moves in there.” She nodded at the bathroom.
“I had my suspicions you’d like them.” He grinned, loving that even here now, they could joke around with each other.
“And I tried so hard to not let my feelings show.” She laughed at her own joke. “Take off those jeans and show me what else you’ve picked up while being the ladies’ man of Landstad.”
“I haven’t been with that many women since coming back,” he argued as he pushed off his jeans. If she said to, he would. How could he denigh her anything?
“Which is why you have a one hundred-count condom package that’s open?” Not shy in the least, she crawled up the bed and opened his night stand.
“How do you know that?” he asked, getting on the bed and following her.
“Your sister even knows, Raff. Next time you move, pack what you don’t want your helpers to see.” She pulled out the package, which he had left in the drawer, thinking they could just move it without looking. But it seemed they had looked.
“Did you count how many were missing?”
“I don’t have time to count everything you have, Rafferty Brooks. I know you only have two spatulas, and that’s concerning enough. I’m not counting your condoms.” She opened the packet and pulled one out, and pushed him on his back.
“I’ll save you time, then. There are ninety-seven, now six. One is in your hand, one is in my wallet, and two are, or were, at your apartment,” he said and watched her tap the condom wrapper on her chin as she thought.
“I don’t want to know tonight. Tonight is about other things.” Shimmying up his body, she took his cock in her hot hand, her fingers running over it a few times before rolling the condom on him far slower than he thought necessary.
“Like what?” He barely choked out as he fought the urge to just come on her hands.
“Like making up for the last time we were together.” She straddled him and rubbed her core over his hard cock, and her sly smile said she knew exactly what she was doing.
“You were drunk.” He grinned at the sight of her breasts above him.
“Not then.” She slapped his chest lightly, stopping her movements. “In high school. I don’t even think I came that night. Well, maybe I did, but not like in the bathroom. You have skills I want to take advantage of.”
“Take advantage of me then, Mia. As long as you want.” He cupped her breasts. How could he not? They were so perfect and soright there.
“I plan to,” she said and laughed, which continued as he rolled them over and, in one motion, slipped into her hot folds.
Instantly, her laughing turned to murmurs of pleasure again. But as he drove into her time and time again, he was afraid she wasn’t taking advantage of him, and he was the one in charge.
Except he knew he wasn’t going to last. He held out as long as he could, but when her orgasm hit, and her inner walls constricted around his cock, he was lost. Of course, he was always lost when it involved Mia Lawson Brooks.
Always would be.
“We should do this sober more often.” She giggled under him.
Her breathing was still off as he rolled off her and pulled her into his arms. Holding her close, he felt her relax and sigh. It had been a long day for them both, and it was catching up with them.
Now wasn’t the time to talk about their future, because they had one. The morning would be soon enough to tell her he bought the house for her. That he didn’t want her going on a blind date. That he wanted a future with her. That he loved her. Still and forever.

Officially,she had failed.
