Chapter Nine
After Zack and Laurel cleaned up, they went back to bed, content to simply hold each other for a while. Laurel lay on Zack’s chest with his arm around her, stroking her arm lightly. She raised her head to look at him. He was looking at her, his mouth curved up in a smile.
“That was fun,” she said.
Zack laughed. “Yes, it was.” He kissed her mouth. “Very, very fun.”
She lay back down, snuggling against him. “I was a little worried I’d forgotten how.”
“Trust me on this, Laurel. You haven’t forgotten anything.”
“Well, I don’t know. It’s been a long, long time.”
“If you’re worried I’m perfectly happy to give it another go.”
“Are you? That’s awfully sweet of you.”
He slid his hand down to her bare butt and patted it. “Just say the word.”
“Word,” she said with a throaty chuckle.
They made love again, then both of them fell into an exhausted sleep. She woke in the night to Zack kissing her neck, his hands on her breasts and the feel of his length hard against her butt. This time wasn’t fast but slow and erotic. He explored every inch of her body, leaving her aching and tingling, and then she did the same to him until he flipped her onto her back and thrust inside her, driving into her again and again until they both came, straining together as he stayed buried inside her.
Later when she could talk she said, “Do you suppose you can die from sexual satisfaction?”
“God, I hope not.” Propping himself up on his arm, he said, “You’re amazing.” He kissed her. “And sexy.” Kissed her again. “And beautiful.”
“You’re making me blush.”
“Why? I’m just telling the truth.”
Laurel cupped his face in her hands and drew him down to kiss him. “I’m really glad I waited until you came along to make love again.”
Zack picked up her hand and kissed it. “My pleasure. And I mean that literally.” He cuddled her close and said, “Go to sleep. You’re bound to be tired.”
She rubbed her cheek against his chest and sighed. Tired, happy and extremely satisfied. How long could it last?
No point worrying about that. Just enjoy yourself in the now.

The following day,after Zack had reluctantly left Laurel, he went looking for Travis. He had no intention of hiding his relationship with Laurel, so he figured he might as well talk to Travis and get it out there.
He found his friend at the airport, messing around with his trainer plane. “Hey, Travis.”
Travis looked up. “Hey, Zack.”
“You busy?”
“Not really. I have a client coming in half an hour.” Travis straightened and leaned back against the Cessna, crossing his arms over his chest. “What’s up?”
“I need to talk to you.”
“Okay. What about?”
“Who, not what. Laurel and I are—” He hesitated, unsure how to describe it. He finally settled on, “We’re seeing each other.”
Travis’s eyebrows drew together in a frown. “What does that mean? Seeing each other?”
