rhythm. He fought the urge to
buck his hips, wanting to give her complete control. He opened his eyes and
watched as she kept her full concentration on pleasuring him. She licked her
lips, making him gasp as the urge to come crept up his spine.
    “That’s it. I’m almost there.”
    She stroked a finger over his glistening tip, spreading the
moisture around and he went off like a rocket.
    “Darina, yes!”
    He came messily over her hands and his belly, floating in
sated bliss. She slowed her movements but kept rubbing over him, as if she
liked the feel of his seed in her hands. He loved watching her play with him,
but stopped her to keep from getting hard all over again.
    “Okay, I can get dressed now,” he said as he gently pulled
on her delicate wrists.
    She grinned as she climbed off his lap and picked up the
discarded towel. She wiped her hands then tossed it onto his lap.
    “I’ll make a list while you clean up and get dressed.”
    She leaned over and kissed him softly on the mouth. He
fought the haze of afterglow as he looked up into her beautiful face.
    “Condoms,” he panted. “We definitely need more condoms.”

    Darina tried to ignore the warmth creeping up her spine from
Sol’s hand at her waist. He’d been touching her the entire time they walked
through the store and even now, as they stood waiting to check out, he seemed
reluctant to let her go. She loved the sensation of being wanted so much. No
man had ever treated her this way and even though she barely knew Sol, she
found herself thinking of future outings with him.
    I wonder if he’d always be this touchy with me in public,
or if the novelty of having me would wear off.
    That had happened with Marc sooner than she would’ve
expected, especially since they’d been engaged.
    “What’s wrong?” She looked up as the deep, sexy rumble slid
down her spine and found Sol’s deep-brown eyes staring back at her. His look
was so full of concern it nearly brought tears to her eyes. Suddenly she found
herself in his arms. “Darina, what’s wrong?”
    She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent
of warm, clean male. It made her smile, and his hand rubbing soothing circles
on her back chased away the depressing thoughts.
    “Nothing. I’m fine.” He pulled back enough to look down at
her and raised a brow in question. She relaxed and her pasted-on smile turned
natural. “Sorry to go drama queen on you for a second there, but I’m fine,
really.”
    His embrace tightened for a second before he let go of her
and they moved forward in the line.
    “Penny for your thoughts,” he said quietly.
    She laughed and shook her head. “I promise they aren’t worth
even that much. Let’s just say I was thinking of past mistakes and hoping for a
smarter future.”
    He simply nodded and began loading their food onto the
conveyor belt. She wanted to kick herself for even mentioning the word future.
    Idiot. Who knows where this thing between us is going, if
anywhere.
    The last thing she needed was to get him thinking about
their future. She knew the smartest move would be to concentrate on the present
and just enjoy him while he was willing to stick around. That would be the best
she could hope for.
    The pretty, young cashier flirted softly with Sol as Darina
dug in her purse for money. He was polite, but put a possessive arm around
Darina’s waist as she paid. She wanted to laugh at the slight pout on the young
girl’s lips, but who could blame her? Sol was a sexy man and more than one gaze
had turned his way as they’d shopped. His complete focus on her alone filled
Darina with confidence and brightened her day. If she could just keep from saying
any other stupid things it would be perfect.
    They drove back to her loft in silence with only the soft
jazz emanating from her speakers as background noise. It was a comfortable
silence, and she realized she had never really known what that term meant until
now. Marc liked to hear
