Mattie was still wide awake when she sensed Hugh's presence near the bed. She had been unable to sleep since she had climbed the stairs to her little fortress in the sky two hours ago.

Some part of her had known this would happen, if not tonight, then tomorrow night or the next. Soon. The inevitable could not be postponed for long. The attraction between herself and Hugh ran too deep, and the fear that she might still be in love with him was too strong to ignore. She turned slowly to see him standing beside the bed, wearing only his briefs.

“Hugh?”

“Tell me you want me, Mattie. At least give me that much.”

“I want you. You know that. That isn't the point.”

“It is tonight.” He leaned down, lifted the covers, and crawled in beside her. “If you don't want me to touch you, I won't. But I can't take any more nights alone down there on your couch.” He reached out and caressed the curve of her shoulder. “I've spent too damn many nights alone, babe.”

Mattie searched his face for a long moment and then, with a small sigh of surrender, she raised herself up on her elbow and kissed his sensual mouth. Her lips grazed fleetingly across his. Her fingers glided over his hard chest like butterflies.

Mattie gasped, feeling herself growing warm and moist almost instantly. His tongue filled her mouth. She arched her hips, straining against him, and her head tilted back over his arm.

“That's it, babe. God, yes. So hot. So wet. So good.” He settled himself quickly between her legs and reached down to wrap her thighs around his hips. “Squeeze me tight, babe. Take me inside and hold me.”

Mattie felt the heat and excitement flood her senses. She wanted to tell him to slow down, but she could not find the words. It was all so hard and fast and overwhelming with Hugh. Making love with him was as primitive an experience as swimming in the sea or running through a jungle. There seemed to be no slow, delicate, civilized way to do it.

She could feel his manhood prodding at her now, feel his fingers parting the soft petals, guiding himself into her.

“Tight,” he said in husky wonder as he flexed his hips to drive himself deep inside. “Babe, you feel so damn good.”

And then he was in all the way, filling her, stretching her, setting off five-alarm fires at each of her nerve endings. His mouth covered hers again,
