I smiled stupidly up at the ceiling because the effort to turn my head was beyond my current ability. The only thing moving was my heart, and that was about to collapse as well. Nothing is better than sex, but those few minutes right afterward come in at a close second. That span of time when you feel as if your joints have all disconnected and the bits of your body are just sort of floating in space. Then, eventually, your various parts begin to reassemble like Iron Man’s suit and your brain starts thinking, “Damn. I’d like to do that again.” It’s the sweet spot, and I was in it. Way in it, because I hadn’t just had sex. I’d had great sex, and I’d had great sex with Kelsey Parker. It was everything I’d hoped it would be. Magnificent and fun and lusty and sweet. It’s a good thing my mouth wasn’t working at the moment or I might say something unretractably regrettable. Like I love you, Kelsey Parker.

I didn’t love her. Of course I didn’t. I couldn’t. I hardly knew her. All I really knew was the stuff I remembered from high school. And the stuff I’d learned during the time at Jasper’s Pub.

I’d done that. I’d messed up that gorgeous hair of hers. I reached over to brush the strands away from her face but my body followed of its own accord and suddenly I was kissing her again. A long, slow kiss that said without words how I was feeling.

“We could probably do this again soon,” she said when the kiss ended. “I think that could be arranged.”

“Good,” I said again. My stomach growled, reminding me of other basic needs. I rolled onto my stomach and reached for the picnic basket. “Hungry?”

“Sure.”

I grabbed two more blankets and we each fashioned toga-type numbers, which looked way cuter on her than it did on me, and then we dug into the goods in the basket.

“Fontaine didn’t lie,” she said. “These are some scrumptious delicacies.”

“You’re a scrumptious delicacy,” I teased, kissing her shoulder. I might be overdoing it, but she didn’t seem to mind. She pressed close and giggled in my ear. This night could not get better. We ate the food, snacking on pieces of fruit cut to look like little flowers and pieces of cheese shaped like moons and stars to match the planetarium theme. If the guys at work could see me now, well, I wasn’t
