She’d made a good choice. This was one fine way to celebrate.

Aiden cupped her cheek, smiling at her brightly. “Gotta take care of things, but don't go anywhere.”

Petra unwrapped herself from him. “No plans to move farther than a few feet. Got a water, though? We might need to hydrate for you to do that more than once.”

Which meant Aiden was laughing as he rolled off the bed, headed to the bathroom to take care of the condom. “There's water in the cooler in the corner,” he offered. “I’ll grab it for you in a second. Don't want you passing out from dehydration.”

“Might pass out from other better reasons,” Petra said.

That was the first. Aiden came back to the bed and demanded she roll over. An impromptu massage turned into him going down on her and licking until she panted so hard with pleasure she nearly did pass out.

They napped, tangled together, waking up to go at it again. When Petra's alarm went off at 5:30 a.m., Aiden blinked a moment and then opened his arms and let her out. “Heading home?”

She nodded. “I'll be back before the family knows I was gone.” She smiled down at him. “You were exactly what I needed. Thank you, kind sir, for sharing your bed. And your tongue. And your mighty fine cock.”

Aiden laughed as he folded his hands behind his head. “You're welcome to said company, fingers, and cock, and thank you, as well.” He watched her as she dressed and pulled her hair up into a messy bun. Thoughtful. “Give me a second. I’ll walk you back to your vehicle.”

She waved for him to stay in bed. “Not that I deliberately planned it this way, but there was no room in the Rough Cut parking lot, so I parked here. I’m less than ten paces away.”

He snorted. “Okay, then.”

She had barely opened the door when Aiden stopped her.

“Petra.” She glanced back, and he pointed at the chair where her purse still lay, phone beside it. “Don't forget those.”

For heaven’s sake. “Thanks. That would have made life more complicated.” She snatched them up, blew him a quick kiss, and quietly left.

Back in her truck, she deleted the warning message she’d scheduled then headed back to Red Boot ranch.

Petra caught herself grinning. She’d had a one night stand. Aiden Skye was a good man, and she wished him the best of luck in the future.

Spending the night with a total stranger wasn’t something she planned to do on a regular basis, but it had been exactly what she needed. Not a moment to find forever but one to seize, with pleasurable company and a few really good orgasms.

Petra was completely content.

For now.
