Cupping her ass, I yank her against me. “It makes me want to take you right now, and screw all the foreplay.”

Ruby sucks in a quick breath. Her pupils dilate.

“Do you want me to skip the rest of the foreplay?” I ask. “I thought I’d make you come with my fingers, then my mouth, and then I would put you up against the window and let the entire city know how damn sexy you are. But if you’d rather jump straight to it…”

Ruby stares at me with lust-glazed eyes. After a beat, she blinks. “Wait. I thought you said the glass was one-way. Can people see me like this? With my bare butt all smooshed up against the glass?”

I keep my expression carefully controlled for a few seconds before laughing. “No, people can’t see you like this. Aside from me. I was just teasing. The glass is definitely one-way.”

“Micah!” Her tone turns scolding. “You scared me for a second.”

“I thought teasing was okay?” I ask innocently.

“Not when I’m naked in front of the entire city,” she replies with a laugh.

“Not the entire city. Only Manhattan.”

“Micah. Only you would tease me about all of Manhattan seeing me naked in the middle of sex.”

“Technically, we’re not in the middle of sex yet,” I point out. “Although that could be changed quickly.”

Lifting Ruby into my arms, I wrap her legs around my waist. Keeping one hand on her ass, I use my other to cushion her back from the glass. “What do you think? Foreplay? Or—” I notch myself at her center, not entering her yet, but close. “Should I take you now? Sink deep inside you, so deep we can’t tell where one of us ends and the other begins. Fill you up so good⁠—”

“Now,” Ruby gasps. Her legs tighten around me. “Now. Please. We can do all the other stuff after.”

She doesn’t have to say it twice.

Holding her close, I jog over to the cabinet in the corner of the room and gesture with my chin at the top drawer of it. “Top drawer,” I say. “Condoms. Can you grab one?”

Surprise creases her brow. “You have condoms in here?”

With a wolfish grin, I reply, “I have condoms in every room now. Just in case.”

“Oh.” She laughs as she grabs a condom from the drawer. “That’s actually very smart. And convenient.”

“That’s what I thought.” I carry Ruby back to the window, then set her down just long enough to open the condom and roll it on. Then I pick her up again. “I was trained to be prepared for anything, you know.”

Ruby wriggles her hips so my dick prods her center. This time, when I start to slip in, I don’t stop. “Being prepared is a good thing,” she says. “I certainly won’t complain.”

I push inside her, forcing myself to go slow even though my body is begging for everything. I kiss her, swallowing her moan with my mouth. I kiss her as I sink deeper, rocking into her, feeling her inner muscles clutch at me.

When I’m finally all the way in, I hold myself still for a few seconds to regain my composure. I’m more than old enough to be able to control myself, but when I’m with Ruby, I’m like a horny teenager again.

“Micah,” Ruby breathes. She squeezes her muscles around me. I jerk inside her. My balls draw up. “I need more. I want…”

“You want what?”

“Is it safe?” she asks.

“Is what safe? The condom? They’re new.”

“No, the window. I like the idea, but what if we push too hard on it, and the whole thing falls out? I know that’s a stupid question, but⁠—”

“It’s not stupid.” I kiss her forehead. “The window is secure. But how about this?” I walk her over to the wall, then brace her against it. “We’ll finish here. Just so you don’t have to worry.”

A soft smile curves her lips. “Always taking care of me.”

“Always,” I agree. “Now.” I lift her almost completely off me, then pull her down again. “How about ‌we get back to what we started?”
