“Did it live up to your expectations?” I asked as I straightened, helping her stand as well. She made a sound as I pulled out but seemed steady enough on her feet.
“You made me yell.”
“I aim to please.” I lowered my head to brush her lips across mine.
She kissed me back, languid and slow. I wrapped my arms around her and tugged her to my chest. Our skin burned where we touched, but it was the best sort of burning.
“I should get going,” she said minutes later when we finally broke the kiss. “Unless there actually was some business you called me up here to help with.”
A stab of disappointment shot through me. I didn’t want her to leave. I’d never been interested in sharing a bed with a woman before just to sleep in, but I had the strangest urge to hold her in my arms as she slept. I wanted to see that she got a good sleep, to make sure that tomorrow was a better day for her than today. But how could I ask for that when I couldn't tell her how long I’d continue to want it?
“You don’t have to go,” I said, trying to make it sound as natural as possible.
She smiled, but it was a sad smile. “I do. But thank you for the offer.” On her tiptoes, she kissed my cheek. “I hope to see you again before you go back home.”
As I watched her go, I wondered what she'd think if I told her that she was the reason I came back. And that, as of now, I didn't plan to leave anytime soon.
