Chapter 11

Her mouth broke from his, a protesting moan of anguish erupting from the very heart of her.

“Not yet, sweetheart.”

She looked down at him, her vision blurred by passion, but even so, she could see the harsh cast to his features so at odds with the tenderness in his voice.

“Why not?”

He grabbed something from under the pillow, keeping her still with his other hand as she tried to move downward again. When she saw what he was holding, frustration for the need to delay roared through her.

“I’m going on the pill,” she muttered from between gritted teeth.

His slashing smile touched her like a caress. “Fine, but tonight, we don’t have any choice.”

And no way did he want her getting pregnant. She scooted backward, making room for him to don the condom, but chilled by the reality of what it symbolized. The transitory nature of their relationship and Daniel’s absolute certainty he did not want a child with her.

Of course safe sex wasn’t all about pregnancy, but she knew deep in her soul that Daniel would never have made love with her if he was putting her at risk. Since she’d never been with anyone else, he couldn’t be worried about what she might expose him to either. This was about keeping the intimacy between them physical and allowing no consequences to come from it.

No result but a heart she already felt cracking under the knowledge he would walk out of her life the same way he had walked into it. Alone.

Daniel held the dark blue foil packet up. “Do you want to put it on?”

Without meaning to, she physically recoiled from the question, her thoughts too close to the surface to ignore.

His brows drew together. “Josie, is something wrong?”

Did she really want to ruin what time she did have with him, entertaining ultradepressing musings about how much it was going to hurt when their relationship ended? No, of course not. That would be stupid.

And she wasn’t dumb.

“Nothing’s wrong,” she said with what she hoped was reassuring brightness, and then she winked at him. “But I don’t think it will fit.”

His eyes narrowed and then glittered in understanding, and that incredible smile flashed again. “I didn’t mean on you, little warrior.”

She eyed his erection with blatant skepticism. “I didn’t either.”

He stared at her and then burst out laughing. She grinned in response and then remembering how successful the ploy had been in the park, tickled him. She loved the joyous sound coming from him. It made her feel special, because she knew that he hardly ever gave in to it with other people.

As it was, he laughed so hard she fell off of him. It took several seconds longer to get the condom on him than it should have, but by the time they did, they were both ready to finish what they’d started.

He flipped her onto her stomach, and she twisted to look at him. “I don’t want a massage; I want you inside me.”

“I will be.”

He pulled her hips up and slid a pillow under them, making her realize he meant to enter her from the back.
