He pul ed her against him again, kissed her breathless
again, and when she no longer felt the chil in the air, when she
began to sweat under her jacket, she pul ed away, licked her
lips, and swal owed hard.
He swept his knuckles against her cheek. “God, I missed
you. Can we go to your place, because if I can’t get my dick
inside you within the next ten minutes I might push you up
against the tree here and fuck you.”
She laughed, and her body swel ed with arousal at the
tho ug ht of him taking her right here in front of the
administration building. “I might like that.”
His eyes flashed heat. “Don’t tempt me.”
She’d like to tempt him, but her need for him was as great
as his for hers. She grabbed his hand. “Come on.”
Fortunately, she lived right down the street from the campus.
They hopped on his bike and were there a couple minutes
later. Ava fumbled with the keys to the front door, but managed
to open it with shaky hands. Rick pushed her inside, shut the
door, dropped her backpack, and turned her around, his
mouth on hers before she could draw her next breath.
He pushed her against the wal and pul ed her jacket off,
lifted her sweater over her head, then reached for her jeans.
She did the same, her fingers fumbling as they hurried to strip
clothes off. She kicked off her shoes while Rick jerked her
jeans down. It would have been comical, this rush to undress,
if Rick wasn’t looking at her with a heated gaze of lust and
need in his eyes, a look that made her wet, that made her
throb.
In the end, they only ended up half undressed. She stil wore
her bra, and her socks, and he stil had his jeans on, but she
managed to unzip him enough to reach for his cock, wrap her
fingers around his hot, pulsing heat. He grabbed a condom
and sheathed it around his shaft, then dragged her onto the
floor, right there on her pristine, perfect rug.
She couldn’t have thought of a better spot to make love. He
pul ed her legs apart and plunged inside her, and she gasped
at the perfection of it, at the way her body welcomed him.
“I’ve missed you inside me. This is where you belong.” She
swept her hand across his face.
“I love you, Ava.”
She came almost as soon as he started moving against
her, and he lifted his head and smiled at her in such a
devastating, purely male way that it moved her to tears.
“Does coming always make you cry?”
“Only when you fuck me. Do it again.”
He shifted, rol ed his hips over her, sliding against her clit as
he thrust inside her, and then there were no more words as
they had at each other with a primal passion. His fingers dug
into her hips, hurt so good. She raked her nails over his arms,
his back, needing him with a fierce possessiveness, as if she
were marking him as hers forever.
Perhaps she was—in her own way. He reached underneath
her, grabbed her butt to tilt her toward him so he could drive in
deeper, then slid his finger down farther, teasing her anus.
She gasped, raising her gaze to his, uttering a hoarse “yes” to
him as he slid the tip of his finger inside her puckered hole
and continued to fuck her.
“Like that?” he asked, his voice rough with need.
“Yes. God. Yes.”
“You’re mine, Ava. Al of you.”
“Yes. And you’re mine.” She scored her nails down his back
and he rewarded her by thrusting harder.
The sensation was incredible. He powered inside her
again, his shaft rubbing her clit, his cock inside her pussy, and
his finger teasing her anus, and she went off again, this time
with such intense spasms she cried out, holding tight to him.
He thrust hard, then fel on top of her, shuddering as he came.
Ava held on to Rick, unable to believe this had real y
happened. He was here, he’d made love to her—he loved her.
She stroked his sweat-soaked back, his hair, touching him in
wonder.
He pul ed her up and they final y undressed al the way, took
a shower together, and got dressed. Ava fixed them
something to eat and, as Rick sat there at her kitchen table
drinking coffee, she realized her life was in utter disorder.
There were towels on the floor in her bathroom, her
backpack had spil ed al over the living room. God only knows
what had happened to the rug there.
Chaos.
And she had never been more content in her life.
Yet there were so many gaps to fil . She grabbed her coffee
cup and pul ed up a chair next to him at the table.
“Where do you live?” she asked.
“Nowhere, real y. I work out of Dal as and stay at
headquarters there most of the time. But I don’t have a
permanent place because I’m on the road a lot.”
They were silent for a while as they both drank their coffee.
“Do you need to stay in Las Vegas to do your doctorate?”
he asked.
Ava realized then that Rick was wondering about her life,
her future, and the two of them, the same way she was.
“Actual y, I’ve spent the past few days researching doctorate
programs nationwide. There’s a program at one of the
schools in Texas that looks very good.”
He lifted his head. “Real y?”
She smiled at the light in his eyes. “Yes. Would you mind if I
went to school there?”
He leaned forward and kissed her. “I wouldn’t mind that at
al . I figured it was time I moved out of General Lee’s—that’s
my superior officer—house. Time to get a place of my own.”
“Is that right?”
“Yeah. Might be nice to have someone to share it with. But
you know, I don’t know much about furniture and decorating
and al that, so I’d need someone who did.”
Ava looked around at al her sparse furnishings. “Wel , I
have to say I don’t know much about that, either. But I think it’s
high time I add some—stuff—into my life. Some color and flair
and excitement. I can’t think of anyone I’d like to share that
with more than you.”
There was a warmth in his gaze—was that love?—that
she’d never seen before. It made her heart melt.
“Could you do that? Could you leave Las Vegas, your family
and friends?”
Without hesitation, she nodded. “I think it’s time I made my
own life.”
“There are some great programs in Dal as that I think you
might like. Programs for social workers. And lots of kids that
need help.”
“Oh, so now you think social workers might have some
value.”
“I told you, babe, I think you have something to offer. Look
what you did for me. I never believed in love until I met you.”
Tears fil ed her eyes. “I think you underestimate yourself.
You’re not the only one who never believed in love, who never
felt loved. For the first time in my life, I want to fil a house with
warmth and love and I have you to thank for that.”
Rick took her hands and pul ed her onto his lap. “I guess we
can teach each other.”
A new life. New opportunities. Scary, but oh so exciting.
She wrapped her arms around him. “I’m looking forward to
that.”
He raised his lips to hers, and at the first brush of his mouth
against hers Ava knew it would al work out. Al she would ever
need was his touch.
