Contact with his ht about another blast of heat Her pussy quivered,her readiness

Instantly, she et, her nipples tingling, her clit swelling, her body crying out for Mac No man had ever done this to her, had ever made her feel this instantaneous passion

She threaded her fingers into the soft thickness of his hair and pulled, feeling a sudden desperation to feel him closer, to draw hi down, and it was like a fire in her blood The way he needed her was intoxicating Was there anythingthan aenough to shuck her boots and pants But that’s as far as she got before Mac slaain

"God, Lily I need this Hard and fast You ready for it?"

"Yes" The pain was like an aphrodisiac, enticing her to crave rab her buttocks, lifting her and placing her on his cock She wound her ar onto his mouth with a whimper as he entered her with a forceful thrust

He kept her back to the wall, using it as leverage while he pumped her with relentless strokes It was fast, hard and furious, just the way she wanted it A sense of urgency enveloped her and she drove her tongue between his lips to dance with his in a pri of need and desire

Whimpers and moans were their co against her with furied intent Maybe it was because Tom was downstairs, but Lily felt it was e draw she felt toward hiasm approach so quickly

She felt the tightening He did, too, because he pulled his lips froaze dark and hot

She bit down on her botto as wave after wave of intense pleasure squeezed her fro into her ass cheeks as he pushed into her and shuddered He still watched her as his orgash him, the action so incredibly inti his hair as his breath caught and held while he stilled against her

Her legs were shaking when he released theht her balance

"Guess I’ll go take that shower now," she said, slipping away frorabbed her before she could leave the rooainst hers It was so unlike the hard passion they had just shared The kiss was tender, a soft sweeping of his lips against hers It made her ache inside

"Don’t use all the hot water," he whispered against her hed and closed the bathroo the stea as it hit her scraped back She s with post-coital bliss Sos between them were so perfect

But there was reat sex

A lot more Like trust, and co They hadBut was it enough?

Was he going to start opening up to her, confiding in her about as going on? Granted, a phone was still off-li for that It didn’t mean she wouldn’t try to find and use one, but she did understand why he didn’t want her to

He had to protect himself If their situations were reversed, she’d do the sauys, so it was different She didn’t knoho he orking for That was the piece of the puzzle still ral part he refused to share with her

And as Tom? Was he connected at all to the virus, or was he just another stopping point along the way to the drop off? She had a hard ti Mac, if he really was a thief, if he had less than reputable intents for the virus, would trust someone in the military Maybe To about the vial

Maybe Mac was keeping Toain, Lily had a ton of questions And doubts about Mac She hated her own skepticis her the truth, or just feeding her a pack of lies just to placate her

She hoped that wasn’t the case, because she really needed truth fro She’d rather hear silence than lies

And she really wanted to believe him Her heart needed to know She didn’t want the heartbreak, but she could feel it co and despite the walls she built up, knew she wouldn’t be able to avoid it when they went their separate ways

But leaving with lies between the the truth and without having a positive outcome to all this--that would be a knife in her heart

God, she didn’t ask for much, did she?

She shook her head and reached for the shampoo

Maybe she just wanted tooalone in the oh-socoed to sleep Tom had fed them well, and while she did laundry they’d spent a few hours talking to him about books and his military life By the time Lily had climbed into bed, it had taken her exactly two-point-two seconds to completely pass out

And she was fairly certain Mac had been even more exhausted than she was He’d yawned several times, his eyelids had blinked closed, and he’d even fallen asleep in the chair downstairs She finally booted hih he’d acted like he wanted to devour her from head to foot, she knew better Sometimes sleep was ht She woke up well-rested and eager to find Mac

She dressed in a hurry and headed downstairs, the aro to her senses

To at the kitchen table When she walked in, conversation stopped

She hated that Itmade that she wasn’t privy to Secret plans Maybe she was becoht No maybes about it She was already there, front and center in Paranoid City And rightly so considering she didn’t know a da from the cupboard

"How do you take it?" he asked

"With cream if you have it Otherwise, black is just fine But I can do it uest, and guests get served around here"

She cast a smile in his direction and slid into the chair next to Mac He cupped the back of her neck and pressed a soft kiss to her lips

"Morning, sleepy"
