“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” Sam called from her residence on the couch.

Ava snorted as she grabbed her purse and closed the door. Xander took her hand as they walked to the elevator. It was empty when it arrived, and as soon as the door closed, he caged her between his arms and kissed her passionately. The elevator pinged, and he moved away as other hotel guests joined them in transit. She reached up and ran her fingers over his lips to remove the gloss that had transferred from hers.

Touching Xander, smelling his cologne and just being near him was having an effect on her. Her body felt like it was on fire and her core clenched tight. She looked at him and saw he was loosening his tie. His face and neck were red. She reached up and touched his face, and he kissed the palm of her hand. He leaned over, whispering in her ear.

“Are you hungry?”

“Not for food. I want you.”

The elevator pinged on the main floor, and they stayed in, pressing the button for the twenty-ninth floor. Xander wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. Her sweet perfume was in his nostrils, and it was intoxicating. He couldn’t wait to strip her naked. As the elevator doors opened, they hurried down the hall to his room, and he fumbled with the key card dropping it to the floor. She picked it up and slid it into the lock. As soon as the green light came on they pushed through so hard, they almost ended up on the floor together.

The door closed behind them. Xander pushed her against it and slammed his mouth down on hers. She dropped her purse to the floor and grabbed a handful of his hair then began working at his belt, zipper and button of his pants to free him. She stroked him as he cupped her breasts and thumbed her already hard nipples. His fingers slipped under her dress, and he stroked her sex through the lace panel of her panties. She moaned in his mouth.

She went to kick off her shoes, but he told her to leave them on as he reached back to unzip her dress, pulling it over her head. He buried his head in her breasts as she worked on removing his jacket, tie, and shirt. The clothing pile was accumulating next to the door as they discarded piece after piece. The room was full of the sound of their heavy breathing.

He finally picked her up and carried her to the bed. He had planned on making love to her slowly, but he was so excited by her that it wasn’t to be. He had removed his boxers before he lay upon her, kissing, sucking and licking. He pushed the panel of her panties to the side and thrust into her with a loud groan. She cried out as he pumped into her.

“Wrap your legs around me,” he panted.

He felt the heels of her shoes dig into his back as she did. He grabbed her hands and pushed them above her head, holding them in one hand. She closed her eyes.

“Ava, open your eyes. I want to look into them when I make you come.”

She whimpered as he continued to piston in and out of her; she clenched and shattered as her orgasm tore through her body. He clamped his mouth down onto hers, and he kissed her until she stopped moaning. He continued pumping in her until he finished his release, then collapsed onto her. He let go of her arms, and she folded them over his back. She could feel his heart beating hard in his chest.

Then she started to cry. All the emotions that she had been suppressing for weeks had finally come to a head. She sobbed into his chest, and he held her.

“Please don’t cry. I’m so sorry.”

“I am, too.” She sobbed against him. “I want to try again. I want the Z.”

He rolled onto his side and wiped at her tears with his thumb.

She made it clear. “I want to marry you.”

He got off the bed and went to his suitcase, taking out a black velvet box. He sat on the bed and opened the box.

“Will you marry me, Ava Keene? I love you.”

She nodded, and he removed the ring from the box. He took her hand and slid the ring on her finger.

“I don’t ever want to disappoint you again.”

“You’ve never disappointed me.”

He stared at her. “You know what I mean.”

And she did. She knew he was referring to what had happened at Cameron.

“It’s in the past. I’m over it, and we don’t need ever to talk about it again.”

She sat up. “Xander, why did you have the ring with you?”

He grinned at her, “Because I knew I was going to ask you to marry me. I can’t be without you. No matter what has happened between us, we are meant to be together. I want you from A to Z.”

A serious look came over her face.

“What?”
