He moved her so that her thighs were against the bed before he lifted her up and laid her on the mattress, which was covered with a downy soft comforter.
Their eyes met and held as he positioned her at the edge of the mattress. He spread her thighs as he bent over her, then braced his arms to either side of her head.
“Bring me inside, Keri,” he murmured as he pulled aside her panties.
She bit the inside of her lip as she reached down, grabbed his cock in her hand and guided him inside her.
Keri gave a loud cry, surprised at how much he stretched her, to the point it almost hurt. It had been so long and he was so big.
The initial shock faded into pure pleasure. He moved in and out in slow, easy thrusts that reached her deep inside. It was like nothing she ever remembered feeling before.
Adam ducked his head and sucked and licked each of her nipples, causing her to squirm beneath him. The more she squirmed, the more intense the feeling of having him inside her.
Her breathing grew rapid and her heart beat faster. Adam clasped her hands in his and held her hands up high, over her head. His strokes grew longer and harder.
He began taking her in earnest. Sweat dripped from his brow onto her chest and her own skin perspired more and more until they were both slick from it.
Adam’s jaw grew tight at the same time her orgasm started building up inside. Keri let out little cries with every thrust of him inside her.
Her mind started spinning as heat and light swirled inside her. Adam’s breathing grew more and more ragged as he thrust harder and harder.
Keri cried out as her orgasm burst inside her. Light prismed and all she could do was feel, not think.
Somewhere her consciousness was aware that Adam had cried out, too, the sound of pleasure in his voice. He sank against her before drawing her onto her side, pulling her into his arms, and resting her head on his chest.
“I love you, Keri,” he whispered.
Keri raised her head and looked down at him. “Funny, ’cause I love you, too.”
“Good thing.” Adam gave an exaggerated sound of relief. “Because I wasn’t about to let you out of here until you said you did.”

“Watch what you’re doing,” Edward shouted at the idiot who had nearly scraped his mahogany desk as it was loaded into the moving truck. “One more close call like that and you’ll be panhandling, dickhead.”
“Yes, sir.” The mover and his partner stopped and the mover licked his lips, a nervous expression on his face. “Won’t happen again.”
“Damned right it won’t.” Edward looked at Johnny. “Have Hector keep an eye on this guy as well as the others. Better not be one fucking mark.”
Johnny gave a nod and called to Hector. He gave the punk the instructions and sent him on his way.
“Think they’ll fall for it?” Johnny asked when Hector was out of the way.
“They watch my every move. One thing about them, though—like most cops, they’ve got their heads stuck up their asses.” Edward laughed, the sound more bitter than he wanted it to be. “Won’t know what the fuck happened.”
Johnny was silent for a moment. “Is it worth it?” he said. “Killing the dancer and the cop?”
Edward’s body tensed even more and he glared at Johnny. “Don’t need you questioning me. I need you doing what you’re told.”
“Of course, Eddie.” Johnny’s gaze followed a pair of movers carrying an armoire. “The jet is ready for tonight. Bruce has been here since early this morning and he’ll go with all of us to the airport. It’ll all work out, just like you planned, boss. He has the right clothes, the right hat, all of it.”
“It better work out.” Edward felt the press of his PX4 Beretta against his spine. “I don’t want anything to screw up my plans.”
“So both of them die tonight?” Johnny’s face was composed, but he had a nervous edge in his voice.
Edward felt the coldness of his smile as he thought about what he had planned. “I just want the cop to hurt for now. Bad.”
“How are you going to hurt him?” Johnny asked.
Edward clenched his hands into fists. “He’s fucking that bitch, Keri. The way to hurt him is to kill her. I’ll give him a little time to feel the pain of her gone on his watch before I eventually get rid of him, too.” He rocked back on his heels. “I have all the time in the world for that.”

“Marcy left her cell phone,” Keri said over the phone to her student’s mother. “I’ll put it in my backpack now so I don’t forget and I’ll drop it off on my way home from the studio. It’s right on my way.”
The woman thanked her and Keri pressed the disconnect button on her cell phone while she moved away. Her footsteps were silent as she walked in her ballet slippers across the floor of her empty dance studio. The last student had gone home for the afternoon and Keri was ready to head out herself.
She smiled as she thought of her past two nights with Adam. Being with him had been amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Notes being played on the baby grand caused her to startle and whirl around.
Her hand to her chest, Keri let her breath out in a rush. “Adam,” she said and wanted to melt when he gave her his adorable grin. “You startled me.”
“Sorry, Angel.” Adam sat down on the piano bench. “If you forgive me, I have a favor to ask.”
“Oh?” Keri smiled as she walked toward him. “What’s that?”
His expression was adorable. For a
