pierced her skin.
    The heat intensified all around her until
she burned inside and out. Keary’s back slammed
against the stall but she felt no pain, just an inferno of passion. Her mind
had become mush, cooked like her body. Incinerated, she collapsed limply
against him. Three more thrusts and his grunt of release echoed amidst the hiss
of the water.
    They clung to each other. The desperate
coupling rocked her body and mind. His grip on her, the attempt to keep her
close, mirrored her emotions.  Their fusion became so much more than just
sexual abandon.
    He couldn’t have driven any deeper into
her, as if the further he plunged the deeper their emotional connection would
be. More than just a union of bodies, theirs was a union of souls.
    She needed to stop reading more into it.
She’d be a fool to fall for a man that she’d only have for a few more days.
    Just enjoy it. Damn it. Enjoy it now.
    There will be plenty of time to miss him
later.

    Devin clung to Keary so tightly he feared he’d leave marks. The thought of letting her go caused his
stomach to knot. It started out so simple.
    Seduce her, fuck her, forget her.
    It made sense at the time. Why had he
thought that taking her sexually would release the hold she maintained on him
since adolescence?
    She’d been a fantasy he learned to do
without. A dream that he overcame because it could never be
more than that.
    Now everything had changed. Devin knew
he’d never be able to let her go. But that meant he’d need to reveal his true
identity and that he lied to her.
    He needed to find a way to make her love
him, because he loved her. He’d sensed it since the ninth grade. He knew now
he’d die in a cloud of loneliness. Nothing would be the same without her.
    Lifting her chin up, he brought his lips
to meet hers and grazed her mouth with his. Gentle kisses. Sweet to balance the hunger they fed on a few moments before. Neither of them
spoke but he willed his eyes to impart the depth of his emotions. Surely she’d
be able to see his love.
    She buried her head in his neck and kissed
it. “Now I have to get the workshop before I miss another session.”
    “Let’s get out of here tonight for dinner.
There’s a great restaurant downtown...”
    “No.” She licked the water off his
shoulder. “I want to stay here. We can have room service.”
    “Insatiable little wench, you planning on
having your way with me?”
    “And then some.” Keary opened the shower stall door and turned back at him to wink.
    She didn’t notice he never pulled out in
time. He wondered if she would later. Feel his come dripping out of her body.
He hadn’t even tried to pull out. He’d pumped his seed deep and hadn’t let her
off until there was nothing left to spill.
    Despicable. What
kind of man deliberately tried to impregnate a woman to keep her?
    A desperate one.

    “Antacid and a t-shirt?” Keary eyed the gifts suspiciously. Why in the world
would he be giving her these?
    “I thought we’d do something a bit
different tonight.”
    They’d been spending every spare second
together. “Devin, I really should have dinner with the members of my chapter
tonight. They’re going to wonder where I’ve been hiding.” She didn’t know why
she said it. She wanted to be with Devin. Their time together was dissipating
like morning fog.
    “Have dinner with them tomorrow night. I
promise I won’t bother you until you head back to the room for the night, but
tonight I have something special planned.” He handed her the gifts. “We went
out for a nice dinner last night.”
    Keary held up
the t-shirt. “I’m gathering tonight is a little more casual.”
    He nodded. “Did you bring jeans?”
    “Of course, but I planned on driving home
in them.”
    A shadow crossed his face. “Let’s not
think about that. Just change. Please?”
    One look at his expression and she didn’t
have the heart to say no. “You’re not going to tell me where we’re
