Jess tried not to stare, but Bran was standing naked in her living room. Tall and lean, with a small scar on his lower right abdomen, and a soft dusting of hair from his chest down to his navel. She wanted this. But the fierceness with which she wanted him was unfamiliar, and gave her a moment’s pause.

Then she met his gaze and he lifted a single eyebrow. She tugged on his hand, leading him past her easel and canvas to the small bedroom and the bottom bunk.

“There’s not a lot of head room,” she whispered, catching her breath when he came up behind her and his body grazed hers.

“I’m not planning on standing up.” His voice was low and seductive, warm at her ear. “Unless you want to.”

Oh, my.

Jess took a deep breath and pulled off her hoodie. She still wasn’t wearing a bra, and the night air made goose bumps rise on her skin. Wordlessly she shimmied out of her yoga pants, and once she was naked, Bran reached out and pulled her close.

She was afraid. Not of him. But of being overwhelmed.

But he took his time, kissing her, touching her with light strokes, lighting her on fire and making her melt at the same time. His skin was warm on hers, and she marveled at the intimacy of the feeling, skin on skin. When her knees grew weak and he laid her down on the mattress, his eyes found hers in the dim moonlight cast through the window. “Okay?” he asked.

Tears pricked her eyes and she blinked them away. He was so considerate. So gentle. So...everything.

“More than okay,” she assured him.

His gaze held hers, his eyes widening for a moment as they came together, key into lock. Jess felt a pang in her heart, the bittersweet knowledge that she’d fallen for a man she couldn’t have, or could have but only for a little while.

But living in the moment meant embracing the moment, and she was determined to do that. So she reached up and looped her hand around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. If she couldn’t have Branson as her love, she could at least have him for her lover. And when their breathing finally slowed and the sweat dried from their skin, she had no regrets.
