A moment later, Christian climbed up her body and brushed her damp hair from her forehead. Spent and completely exhausted, Taylor drew deep gulping breaths and raked her fingers through his hair. “That was so good,” she murmured.
Christian grinned. “We’re not done yet, babe.” He gathered her into his arms and pressed his lips to hers for a deep, mind-numbing kiss. “I plan on making sweet love to you all weekend, Taylor.”
When his tongue slipped inside her mouth to mate with hers, lust sizzled through her veins, giving her a second wind. Even though she knew any more time spent in his arms would be her emotional undoing, she widened her legs, glanced at the clock and offered him a sultry smile. “Since weekends are far too short, we should probably get started.”

Hours later, after morning had come and gone, Saturday night was upon them. Taylor lay in Christian’s bed, her pussy swollen and sore from their night together. But oh, what a glorious night it had been.
Listening to his soft breathing sounds, she touched his chest and admired his roguish good looks, loving everything about him. As her gaze skated over his face, his chest and his cock, her pussy muscles clenched, desperately needing him inside her again, needing the connection, the intimacy. A riot of emotions erupted inside her and made her heart catch. Jesus, how would she ever go back to watching him parade women in and out of his apartment, knowing how much she wanted him—all to herself.
“Good evening, sunshine,” he whispered.
She forced a smile. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.”
He narrowed his eyes and touched her cheek with a gentle hand. “Hey, what’s up?”
He could obviously tell something was bothering her. “Nothing,” she lied. “I was just thinking it was time for me to go.”
The smile fell from his face as he pulled her to him, covering them in blankets. “Where? And don’t tell me back to The Hose to pick up any other guy.”
“What?” His possessive tone took her by surprise. “You didn’t seem to mind me going last night.”
He scoffed. “Only because you had your heart set on playing a pick-up game. And I wanted to play a little one on one game with you, too.”
Her pulse leapt, her stomach coiled with excitement. “Really? You did?”
“Yeah,” he said, his voice rising. He jabbed his thumb into his chest. “Listen, sweetheart, there was no way in hell you were leaving The Hose with anyone but me. I want you, Taylor, and I’m not sharing.”
She frowned, reality inching its way into her brain. “But won’t you get bored, Christian? You know I’m not really like the wild, sexy women you normally gravitate towards. Last night, the shaving, the hot red dress, it was all just an act to get you into my bed.” She tugged on his covers. “Or rather, your bed.”
“The exhibitionism, was that an act too?”
She looked down sheepishly. “No.”
“I didn’t think so.” Christian rolled to his side and pushed his cock into her hip. “Does this seem like I’m bored to you, Taylor? One look at you and I’m as hard as granite.”
When she slipped her hand under the blankets and captured his cock, he groaned and gathered her in tighter. “What you’re missing, Taylor, is you are the kind of woman I gravitate toward. You’re the only woman I want.”
“But I saw the way you looked at all those hot babes down at The Hose. I’m not like those women.”
“They were only to help me keep my mind off you. Don’t you see, I’m crazy about you, Taylor. I want you. I’ve always wanted you. Today, tomorrow, forever. I was just too afraid of risking our friendship by making a move that I wasn’t sure you wanted.”
Excitement sang through her veins and her heart leapt with joy, hardly able to believe what she was hearing. Christian wanted her as much as she wanted him. Today, tomorrow and forever. She slipped her hand lower to capture his balls. After a gentle squeeze she said, in her best sultry voice, “I wanted.”
He chuckled and pulled her in tighter. “Yeah, I kind of got that.”
She melted against him, everything in her reaching out to him. “I want you, Christian. I have for a very long time now. And you don’t have to worry about me picking any guys up at The Hose. None of them were interested in me anyway.”
He grunted. “Trust me, sweetheart, every guy at The Hose wanted to be me last night. You see, I’m betting the guys have been going out of their way to avoid you because they already knew I’d marked you as mine.”
“Marked me as yours, huh?”
He slipped a finger into her moist heat. “Yeah, you’re mine.”
She moaned out loud. “So there is nothing wrong with my kissing, my breasts or my pussy then?” She didn’t bother to mask the mischief in her voice.
“Nothing at all.”
She crinkled her nose. “Do you think—”
“That we should check again?” he asked, finishing her sentence. “Yeah, baby, I do. I think that’s a damn good idea.” He quickly rolled on a condom, pulled her underneath him, sank his cock all the way up inside her. “It’s always good to cover all angles, don’t you think?”
