with everything they own."
    She gave a soft snort. "I own a lot
more than that."
    He raised his head, looked down. In the
room's golden light, her eyes appeared mossy, a green ring around
pupils wide with arousal. "And you left it behind?"
    Frowning, she slapped him on the ass.
"Is this really what you want to talk about? Now?"
    "Why not?" He lifted his hips, leaving
only the head of his cock inside her. "We're as connected as two
people can be, but I know nothing about you."
    "Here's something." This time she dug
her fingers into the muscles of his backside. "I don't like sex
used as a weapon."
    He waited, one heartbeat, two, then
made up his mind, and instead of rolling away, he filled her,
pushing into her until he had nothing left. "Is that what you think
I'm doing?"
    "Aren't you? You want answers and are
threatening to stop until you get them." She pushed up, gripping
him, tugging him down with her, grinding against him until she had
to draw breath. "I'm not here to share the story of my life any
more than you're here to share yours."
    "Mine's pretty much part of the public
domain."
    "Wayne said you don't like people
knowing who you are. I think that makes us even."
    "No. It doesn't. I'm not hiding, Lise.
And I'm sure not running away."
    She shoved at his shoulders, pushing
him, adding physical distance to the emotional gulf opening between
them. "Move."
    He remained on his knees, her thighs
draped over his, her pussy glistening with moisture around the base
of his cock. Gorgeous. Fiery and hurting intensely. He could see
all of it. He didn't have to hear the words.
    She glowered. "Get off."
    He shook his head. "Not until you tell
me what's wrong."
    "Get. Off." She said, struggling up
from the mattress.
    He pushed into her, forced her down.
"Look at me, Lise."
    Her gaze snapped to his,
angry.
    "What did I tell you in the bar? I'm
not going to hurt you. You say stop, I stop."
    Her chest continued to rise and fall,
but she quickly gave up the fight, her eyes closing as the tension
between them unwound.
    "That wasn't fair," she finally said,
and he waited, his erection beginning to soften, and Lise desperate
as she added, "No. Don't," fucking him slowly to keep him from
slipping free.
    He gave up. She was hungry and willing,
and he was being a dick. His need for answers could
wait.
    He settled his full length over her,
his elbows above her shoulders on the bed. His cock thickened, and
she wiggled beneath him as if scratching an insistent
itch.
    "Better?" he asked, and she
nodded.
    "Much. But can we table the
talk?"
    "Will you answer my questions later?"
he asked, and when she stiffened, he rushed to add, "I'm curious,
Lise. That's all. I'm not bargaining."
    She exhaled the deep breath she'd drawn
in and nodded. Then she reached up to hold onto his wrists and
began to move, her hips, her fingers, as she wound their hands
together, her feet, as she slid her arched soles up and down his
calves.
    Nice. So nice. But he kept silent. And
until he could bear it no longer, he kept still. There was
something here she needed, and he didn't want to keep her from
finding it.
    She held his gaze, lifting to rub
against him, lowering to put distance between them she just as
quickly closed.
    This was the best kind of sex,
head-to-toe contact, breath shared and labored, gazes fused. Lust
thrummed with emotion, with the rush of skin-heating blood, with
the synced beating of hearts.
    They rocked together, a perfect rhythm
of male and female, his cock stroking into her pussy, her pussy
tugging on his cock. She worked him, she fit him, she made him
ache.
    The ride was slick, from her juices,
from their sweat. Her legs hooked over his to hold him in place.
Her hands roamed his back, her fingers digging into his flesh, her
palms skating, her nails scratching, her fingertips tiptoeing down
his spine.
    And then her breath hitched, and the
sounds she'd been making grew frantic. Her upward thrusts increased
in tempo, and he shoved back at each one
