Thoughts work in her eyes as she looks at me. Then she taps my nose back. “I won’t. I promise.”

“Okay.” I breathe another sigh of relief. “Good.” Kissing her lightly, I add, “So. Do you want coffee? Breakfast?”

Her gaze shifts from me to the window. “Actually. I was wondering. Are these windows one-way? So we can see out, but no one can see in?”

A little surprised by her change of subject, it takes me a second to respond. “Yes, they’re one-way. Are you worried about someone seeing you in here?”

“Not exactly. But I was thinking, maybe we could have sex in here before breakfast. In front of the window?” Pink touches her cheeks. “I love this room so much. And I read in this book about the couple having sex in a skyscraper, right against the window. I didn’t think much of it at the time. But now… maybe it could be fun? If you wanted to try it?”

In one move, I rise from the couch and set Ruby down in front of me. Then I slide my hand under her sweatshirt and cup her ass, dragging her flush against my body. My dick jerks against her belly, cheering silently. “Yes to both,” I reply.

Dipping my head to kiss her neck, I suck gently at her skin. When I see the faint pink mark I left behind, the possessive, caveman-esque side of me roars. “It definitely sounds like fun.” I lift her sweatshirt and pull it over her head, revealing nothing but bare skin beneath.

When I press her against the glass, she shivers. Her nipples pebble from the air hitting them. I palm one breast, rolling her nipple between my fingers. Her head tilts back as she arches towards me.

“Micah,” she moans. “Oh.”

“I think taking you right here sounds like a lot of fun,” I tell her. “And I definitely want to try it.”

Ruby’s hands come to my waistband, tugging at the waistband of my shorts. She pulls them down past my hips, and my erection springs free. Wrapping her fingers around me, she says with a hint of satisfaction, “It looks like someone else thinks it’s a good idea, too.”

“Hmm.” I tear my gaze from her breasts to look below my waist. “I suppose he does.” With a wry smile, I add, “He’s very eager. I have to tell him to calm down quite often.”

Ruby giggles. “Oh, really? Do you talk to him a lot?”

I pull her little sleep shorts down, then toss them aside. Next come Ruby’s pale blue panties, so sheer they reveal the trimmed red curls beneath them. “It depends. If you’re wearing my clothes? Or you just got out of the shower, and all you have on is a towel? Or when you’re lying in bed next to me, all naked and sexy and your hair curling all over? Then I have to tell him to calm down a lot. Other times, he uses more restraint.”

Ruby gives my T-shirt a pointed look, and I tug it over my head obligingly. As her gaze sweeps across my body, I take the time to do the same with hers.

And no matter how many times I look at Ruby naked, it never ceases to amaze me. My brain can’t seem to accept that this perfect woman is mine.

Skimming my hands down her waist to the sweet curve of her hips, I nip the skin at the base of Ruby’s jaw, then sweep my tongue across it. “You’re gorgeous, Rue.” My voice is rough with need. “So damn gorgeous.”

“So are you,” she says. “And you know what I like?”

“My muscles?” I tease.

Her lips lift. “No. I like watching you when I touch you.” She strokes me from base to tip. “I like seeing how you react.”

I reach between her legs, finding her hot and wet and already opening for me. I slide a finger inside her, feeling her inner walls clutching at me. Finding her little bud with my thumb, I rub the sensitive skin, alternating between soft and hard. “How do I react?” I ask.

She gives my dick a gentle squeeze, enough to make me think of how it’ll feel when I’m inside her. My erection thickens. Throbs. Pre-cum leaks steadily. “Like this,” Ruby says. “I love feeling you get bigger in my hand. I love seeing how excited you get.”

With her other hand, she grabs the back of my neck. Her nails scrape lightly across my skin. “I love feeling your little shivers when I touch here.” She moves her hand to my chest, resting it over my heart. “I love feeling your heart race. And I know it’s because of me.”

I slide a second finger inside her, then pump my fingers in and out slowly, readying her for me. Ruby’s hips jerk. She moans, low and deep in her throat.

“Micah.” She strokes me faster. Harder. “I love how you make me feel, too. Like my body is electrified. And every time you touch me, you set off sparks.”

Something deep and powerful inside me tugs. All at once, my heart feels too big for my body.

As my fingers keep thrusting inside her, I let my gaze wander over Ruby’s body. With the sun coming in all around the window behind her, her skin is lit with gold. Her hair is like fire. She looks like a mythological goddess come to life.

Before Ruby, I couldn’t have imagined thinking about a woman with such reverence. But with her, it’s the most natural thing in the world.

She gives my dick another tug, and I swell in her hand. Desire throbs, intense and insistent. “Rue,” I groan. “Ah, shit. When you touch me like that.”

“What?” Her gaze meets mine. “What about me touching you like that?”
