flipped it open and slid out a condom. "Because I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to need this."
    He put the condom—still in its wrapper—directly on her belly button and scooped her into his arms. "Which way to the bedroom?"
    She pointed down the short hallway beside the kitchen. He strode quickly down the hall and tossed her gently to the bed. She looked so beautiful lying on the bed staring up at him with passion-filled eyes.
    He joined her on the bed, wrapping her in his arms as he kissed her deeply, eagerly. She responded, kissing him back and nibbling on his lower lip. She pushed against his shoulders, forcing him to lie flat on his back, staring up at her.
    Julia found the condom lying on the sheets and tore open the little package. Chase reached out to take it from her so he could sheath himself, but she batted his hand away. His body hardened even more under her touch as she slid the condom slowly along his length.
    Hot damn. He loved that Julia wasn't a girl who was afraid to take control. Any time she wanted to take—ahem, matters—into her own hands was okay with him.
    As she straddled his hips, her body joined with his in one fluid motion, her heat completely surrounding him. He groaned, unable to stifle his pleasure any longer. He thrust up against her, meeting her hips as she rocked forward and back.
    He sucked in a quick breath as she ran her fingernails down his chest, leaving his skin tingling in their wake. Every time she touched his body, it was as if a million new nerve endings sprang to life inside him.
    Chase gripped her hips with both hands, guiding her movements, making their thrusts meet fully—deeply. Her hands were hot on his thighs as she braced herself before arching her back and letting her head fall to the side with a sigh of pleasure.
    He closed his eyes, savoring the sensation of Julia having her way with him. Her way was good. So. Damn. Good.
    Her sighs turned to groans as she moved faster, harder—her breath ragged with the intensity of their movements. He sat up, wrapping his arms around her as she rocked against him. He kissed her neck and licked a path to the V of her collarbone, almost tasting the arousal in her glistening skin. The sensation of their bodies rubbing each other as she continued to grind her hips against his made his pulse pound.
    Julia draped her arms around his shoulders, and her breast pressed into his chest. She raked her fingers through his hair as her lips trailed along his jaw. Plunging his tongue past her teeth, he captured her mouth with his.
    Julia's body tightened around his as she gasped. She quivered in his arms, her head falling to rest on his shoulder.
    He growled and gave in to his release with one last thrust, feeling her body shake with pleasure in his arms. In that moment, the world outside her bedroom disappeared. They collapsed back onto the bed together, their bodies trembling with satisfaction.

    Julia awoke to someone shaking her shoulder.
    "Wake up."
    "Tali? What time is it?" Julia cracked open an eye long enough to see the clock on her bedside table read four in the morning. "What are you doing here so early?"
    "The better question is why are your clothes strewn across your living room? Did you really bring someone home tonight?"
    Julia rolled from her belly to her back and pulled the covers up around her neck. The sheets were warm on her still naked flesh and her body ached in wonderful ways. Ways she'd love to feel aching again soon.
    "I did." Her answer was a simple one and wouldn't be enough for Tali, but at this hour, she didn't feel like talking. She needed sleep. And a shower. And she already longed for a repeat performance even though she didn't know if another night with Chase would ever happen.
    "Dish it. I want all the details." Tali made herself comfortable on the edge of Julia's bed. "Who is he? Is he from your class?"
    "He's just a guy. I want to go back to sleep. Some of us have a class tomorrow—ugh,
