hot and wet, I became an animal.”
    She bit her lip. “I … I liked it.”
    “Yeah?” He grinned. “Me, too, obviously. But there’s a lot more to this whole lovemaking business.” When she remained curiously silent, he grew blunt. “You didn’t come.”
    She caught her bottom lip in her teeth. “It, um, felt so good that I wasn’t sure.”
    Damn, she was adorable. “You’ll know when it happens, Nora. I promise.” She frowned in doubt, which challenged him. “Let me prove it to you.”
    Sensual interest darkened her eyes as the seconds ticked by. “How?”
    God, he loved her. Now and forever, the kind of love that wouldn’t ever go away. And he’d just blown it in the sack. The irony was that women he’d merely liked had claimed him an excellent lover, while the woman he wanted most in his life had demolished his finesse, reducing him to a sex-crazed lunatic. He almost groaned again, but instead he sucked it up like a man and set out to make things right.
    “Like this.” He covered her with his palm and began to gently finger her. She was so hot, and wet. Very wet. Which meant he was quickly growing hard again. He would not be a pig this time. Never again. But she moaned, and that small sound tested him. He supposed it was his love for her that made everything with her sharper-edged, so acute that he could barely contain himself.
    Because she looked embarrassed he leaned over her and covered her mouth with his own, muffling her sounds of pleasure. At first, he kept the pressure light, the rhythm uneven, letting her orgasm build up again. When her kisses grew bolder, almost desperate, he moved down to her breasts. The dual assault would be sweet, and would help guarantee his odds.
    At the same time that he closed his mouth hotly over her nipple, he pressed two fingers deep inside her, stretching her, exacerbating already sensitive nerve endings. Her cries grew more harsh, raw. Using his thumb with devastating effect, Cary stroked her clitoris in small, circular movements that had her groaning and writhing. He kept himself in check with ruthless determination. He could feel the heat pulsing off her, the spiciness of her aroused scent—and she broke.
    With a long, ragged moan, her legs stiffened, her hips jerked. He raised up to watch her, seeing the vague understanding in her dark eyes, the rush of heightened color in her face and throat. “Perfect,” he whispered, keeping the pleasure steady, ensuring she got everything this time.
    By small degrees, she quieted and her legs went lax, naturally sprawling. He wanted to fuck her again; he wanted to hold her to his heart and tell her everything he was feeling. He wanted so much, he honestly didn’t know where to start. He should take it easy, play it by ear, wait and see what Nora thought. Yeah, that’s what he’d do. He’d be patient for once. He’d keep control.
    And he wouldn’t make any more boneheaded moves.

Chapter Four

    Awareness slowly seeped in on Nora. She felt euphoric. Weak and elated and … satisfied. Every sense was magnified. She was intensely aware of the cool air on her skin, the rumpled sheets beneath her, the incredible man making a dent in her mattress.
    She smiled, so secretly pleased that she had to fight not to laugh out loud. Wow. No wonder everyone did this with such great regularity.
    She felt that, at this particular moment in time, new doors had just opened for her. The whole world looked different. She’d never been the type to sleep around, to take a lover. But Cary had just changed all that, and she was so glad.
    She turned her head to see him, but without her glasses, he was no more than a blur. As if he’d read her mind, he rolled to his back, did some reaching, and then her glasses were slipped onto her nose. She straightened them and took in his expression, anxious to see if he’d been as affected as she was by the sex.
    His warm, mellow gaze filled with tenderness.
    Relieved, Nora whispered, “Thank
