“Mmm. Well, let me admire you some more.” Zach used his powerful upper body to lift her off him then flip her onto her back.

She shrieked in surprise when he flung her onto the mattress. Once she was lying down, he spread her legs and planted himself between them. He braced himself on his forearms and looked down into Corina’s face. Using the tip of his cock, he played with her opening. The head flirted with her swollen lips, swirling, sliding between the folds of slick flesh.

“You’re teasing me.”

“Oh, is that what I’m doing?” Zach asked in mock innocence as he pulled his hips away from her.

She whimpered her disapproval and he brought the wide crest to her clit. He rolled his hips and the crown on his erection rubbed her swollen clit in a slow rhythm. She could no longer take his teasing. She arched upward while grabbing his plump ass and pushed him into her. When he entered her, they each released a moan.

“You feel amazing,” he said and buried himself even deeper.

“I love how you feel too.” She raised her pelvis and wrapped her legs around his waist to hold him tightly in place.

Zach lowered his head to her breasts and began to suck on her nipple. The sensation of his mouth on the hard bead of flesh once again sent a new wave of excitement throughout her body. He gently nipped at the sensitive peak and it tipped her over the edge. Corina lightly raked her nails down his back as he pumped into her. She bowed her back and called his name around a long breath. He buried his face in the valley of her breasts and came with a shuddering climax.

Zach rolled off her and onto the mattress. She curled next to him and nestled her head in the crook of his arm. Neither said anything as they lay in companionable silence and attempted to regain their breaths. After two orgasms, she felt relaxed and her limbs and eyes began to grow heavy. With hooded eyelids, she realized that even though their coupling at the charity event two days ago had been earth-shattering, it paled in comparison to tonight. It defied logic, but somehow it was true.

“Looks like we’re going to have to go out for dinner another night. Now that I’ve got you naked in my bed, I’m not letting you put clothes on. At least not until I’ve had you a few other ways I’ve been fantasizing about.” He wrapped a possessive arm around her naked torso.

“You’ve fantasized about me? Do tell.”

“How about I just show you.” He tugged her from the bed. “Follow me.”

Zach led her out of his bedroom and into his small bathroom. She leaned on the cool white wall as she watched the muscles in his back ripple beneath his skin when he turned on the shower. Hot water flowed out of the tap and almost instantly steam started filling the room.

“Get in,” Zach commanded. He held the glass door open for her.

She gingerly stepped into the tiled space and under the hot spray. She nearly moaned as the warm water flowed over her head. Leaning back further, she allowed room for Zach. He stepped in and closed the door, his impressive frame taking up what was left of the space.

“Here, let me show you my favorite thing about this shower.” He reached above her head to adjust the setting on the shower head.

His naked cock brushed along her hip. He was semi-hard. Corina swayed slightly left and right, the head to gliding across her dewy flesh. Zach’s cock went rigid on the front of her body, while the water pulsed on her back in a staccato rhythm. Without saying a word, he grabbed a bar of soap and worked a lather up in his large hands.

He seemed satisfied with the amount of suds between his fingers and went to work on her body. He used the foam to sculpt her breasts, tweak each nipple, glide down her waist, dip into the hollow of her belly button and part her thighs. Using a delicate touch, he stroked her clit. Corina’s insides melted like butter at his touch. He eased her back into the spray and let the water run down her form, washing away any trace of bubbles.

Leaning beneath the pulsating shower head, Zach pressed his lips to hers. Corina tipped her head back and opened her mouth slowly to let in some water along with Zach’s caressing tongue. He reached above her head and adjusted the spray once again. He increased the speed of the water flow and aimed the shower head low. The water pounded the cheeks of her ass and he broke their mouths apart and commanded her to turn around again. Corina did as she was told and faced the water pouring out of the spout. She was pleasantly surprised when the stream pulsed against her clit and rippled down her legs.

“Put your hands on the wall in front of you and lean into the water some more,” Zach whispered in her ear.

His erection, hot and heavy, pressed into the top of her buttocks. She couldn’t wait for it to be inside her. He reached around and stroked her breasts with his wet fingertips. She arched her back, forcing his cock to sink into the flesh of her ass cheek.

“I want to be inside that tight little pussy,” he said as he lightly bit the nape of her neck.

“I want that too.”

“Are you wet enough for me?” He propped one of her legs on top of his own and guided the crown of his cock to her spread lips. He slid into her with one rough thrust.

Corina gasped.

“Does it hurt?”

It felt too good to speak. She shook her head in answer. She shivered from the sensation of him stretching her insides as he moved.

“Tell me what you feel.”

“Your cock. Deep inside me.”

“Mmm,” he moaned in response to her words.

Zach lowered his head to her nape and dropped several kisses on the sensitive area. He took her breasts in his hands. He twisted and tweaked the stiff points. Corina pushed her back against him and slowly undulated her hips.

“Oh, God, Zach,” she gasped before she came with a wail. Her cries of pleasure echoed in the small tiled space and, as if hearing her orgasm was enough to do him in, Zach released a long, low grunt.

Chapter Four

Corina opened her eyes and tried to take in her surroundings. Then she remembered everything that had happened the day before. Her date with Zach in Forest Park. Their attempt to leave his apartment for dinner. She shifted on the firm mattress and noticed a slight tenderness between her thighs. How could she forget she’d had hot, steamy sex twice?

She glanced at the alarm clock. It was seven o’clock on a Sunday morning and she’d just spent one of the best nights of her life with Zach. Despite that fact, she knew she needed to get out of there. When he woke up, she was sure he wouldn’t want her around anymore.

It will be Donald all over again
. Suffering through that humiliation once in her life was more than enough.

Corina eased out from under Zach’s possessive grasp and rolled off the mattress. She quickly gathered her clothing strewn about the floor and furnishings. As quietly as she could, she slipped out of his bedroom and closed the door with an almost inaudible click. Once she was in the small living area of the apartment, she threw on the outfit she’d worn to pick Zach up for their afternoon date. That felt like it had happened a lifetime ago.

Scooping up her purse and remaining clothing, Corina walked out of Zach’s apartment and out of his life.

* * * *

Corina was enjoying the unseasonably warm night by burning a vanilla-scented candle and drinking a glass of her favorite red wine in her sunroom. At the sound of the doorbell both she and Priscilla turned their heads toward the front door. She was tempted to not answer it. She’d just gotten comfortable. On the second chime, she set her goblet down and pushed off the cushioned bench with a reluctant sigh. Priscilla followed slowly behind her.

“Hi.”

Corina nearly gasped in surprise at the sight of Zach standing on her doorstep. “Hel-hello.”

“You look nice. Big date this evening?”

“What? No, I went out to dinner with a friend,” she said as she gestured at her sea-foam green satin shirt and ivory skirt. “But if I had said yes? That I’d been out on a date, why would that be a big deal? You and I clearly…are just…”

“Fan-fucking-tastic together.”

“Interesting that you would choose
that
word to describe us since that’s basically all we’ve done. It’s all you and I are about.”

“We’re about far more than that.”

“Okay, if you say so.”

“Why did you leave without waking me this morning? Why do you keep running from me?”

“You get right to the point, don’t you?” Corina said with a smile and a shake of her head. “Because I knew it would make things…better. For me.”

“Better? Or easier?” Zach said, stepping into her foyer.

“Won’t you come in?” Corina said and closed the door behind him.

“Look, this isn’t how I pictured this going when I came over here. I’m pissed, but I don’t want things to be this tense between us.” He placed his hands on Corina’s shoulders and gave her a long, warm kiss. “Let’s start over. Consider that my hello.”

Corina was still holding onto the doorknob, her legs swaying slightly from his kiss.

“We should talk. Why don’t you join me in my sunroom?”

“Okay, lead the way,” he said and lightly swatted her on the ass.

“I’ll thank you for keeping the spankings for the bedroom, mister.”

When they passed by her lazy pooch, she tried to get the dog to come to the sunroom, but Priscilla refused to follow them, even when Corina called to her. The hound had spread herself out on her dog bed and didn’t appear in any hurry to get up from the comfortable spot.

Once they were in the sunroom, Corina resumed her place on the bench and decided to apologize. He deserved that much.

“I’m sorry I ran off this morning. It was silly of me.”

“Well, why did you? I thought we were getting along so great yesterday.”

“Really? In between sex marathons?”

“Corina, come on. You know you enjoyed yourself every bit as much as I did, so what’s the big deal?”

She bit on her bottom lip, hesitant to fill Zach in on the real reason why he made her nervous. Could she let this gorgeous man in on such a sensitive and painful part of her past? Could she be that vulnerable with someone she barely knew? When she looked back at his face, she knew that she could. Compassion and tenderness seemed to radiate off him in waves.

“When I woke up this morning, everything just washed over me. It overwhelmed me. But it also reminded me of a time in my life I’m not too proud of.” She blew a breath out slowly. “About a year ago, I started seeing someone. I thought he was amazing. I thought he really liked me. We dated for about five months before I finally ended it.

“He never wanted to be seen with me. We mainly hung out here and occasionally his place. He never took me out. He’d never dated a woman with my…” Corina paused a moment to pick at her cuticles. God, this was difficult. “Before me, he had gone out with only ultra-thin women. He’d never dated anyone with my…curves. In his mind, it was okay for him to be attracted to me, it was okay for him to sleep with me. Just so long as no one ever found out about it.”

“I don’t know if I want to kick the bastard’s ass or shake his hand.”

Corina looked at Zach and arched an eyebrow in confusion.

“On the one hand, I want to kick his ass for hurting you, but let’s face it, his mistake is the reason why you were still single and available to date me.”

Corina smiled and nodded at his words. “I haven’t dated anyone seriously since him. I don’t really understand why I felt that way, but when I woke up at your place this morning and thought back on how we’d skipped dinner last night and stayed in… It just stirred up those old insecurities and I panicked.”

Zach sat beside her on the cushioned bench and stroked her jaw. He placed his mouth on hers and put a soft kiss on her lips. “Corina, I could never find you anything but beautiful, charming and sexy as hell,” he growled and cupped her face between his hands.

Neither of them said anything for several moments. They stared into each other’s eyes. Her breath quickened as she watched the way the orange firelight from the candle danced in Zach’s ebony eyes. The air between them crackled with electricity. Zach was the first to move.

He put his hand on her breast then used a gentle kneading motion with his fingers to coax her nipple erect. Corina’s core tightened in response to his touch and she released a whimper. The only thing that separated his hand from her skin was a lace bra and a satin shirt. Two flimsy pieces of fabric stood between them and she knew her nipples were protruding through the thin garments.

When Zach kissed her again, his mouth was different this time. His lips were firm, tongue seeking. His kiss was demanding. He removed his hand from her breast and skimmed it along the front of her body. He inched down her leg until he reached the hem of her skirt. Edging his hand beneath it, he slowly stroked up her thigh. Corina broke her mouth free from his in an attempt to catch her breath. She was panting as he slipped his hand past the waistband of her panties.

“Tell me what you want, baby.”

Corina trembled when the pad of his thumb grazed her slippery clit. “I want you to keep touching me,” she breathed.

“I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to. What else?” Zach plunged a finger into her wet pussy and she clenched around him.

“I want you to make me come.” She moaned.

“I thought you’d never ask,” he said and removed his hand from her panties.

Corina opened her mouth to protest, but he wasted no time in urging her hips upward so he could pull her underwear down her legs. Once they were off, he threw the lacy garment onto the deck and stood up from the bench. At first, Corina thought he was going to take her right there, outside. Instead, he knelt at her feet and flipped the material of her light, flouncy skirt up, exposing her legs and bare pussy

“Hand me that cushion.” He pointed at the padded floral material covering the seat of the chair next to her.

“What are you doing?” Corina asked. She noticed her voice sounded thick from desire.

“I’m getting you off, baby.” He dropped the cushion in front of his knees then eased himself onto it. “Scoot down.” He tugged her hips lower on the bench and drew her mound closer to his face.
