“Is this a case of opposites attract, then?”

“I’d describe it as chemistry.”

She threaded her fingers in his hair, and he closed his eyes, allowing her hands to soothe him. The next thing he knew, her lips were on his, and she kissed him softly, sweetly.

He opened his eyes to find her gazing at him, and something passed between them that he wasn’t sure how to define.

Then she reached between them and started stroking him, her movements slow and sure, her eyes locked on his.

“Chloe…”

“Shhh. Just let me.”

So, he did, giving himself over to the sweet escape she was offering. He cupped her breasts and rasped his thumbs over her hard nipples while she fondled him. He saw her eyes glaze over before he dipped his head down and drew a tight bud deep into his mouth.

His erection twitched in her hand, and she squeezed it tighter, pumping him in perfect rhythm. Now that he was touching her, he couldn’t stop. He reached down and dipped a finger into her wetness.

“Bryce…”

He loved the sound of his name on her lips, and then he covered her mouth with his, swallowing her gasp.

Their hands worked in unison, already familiar with each other’s bodies yet still learning. He was determined to be a star pupil, and he paid close attention to every moan, sigh, and expression that crossed her gorgeous face.

When her core clenched around his fingers, he knew she was getting close, and he picked up the pace, as did she. A few minutes later, she dug her fingers into his shoulders and cried out, her hips thrusting forward as she came.

He was right behind her, bucking into her hand while she expertly stroked him until he was completely drained.

Afterward, his body still humming with pleasure, he held her close and said, “Stay with me tonight.”

“You mean like a sleepover?” she teased.

“Yes.”

“Should I go upstairs and get my pajamas?”

“Pajamas aren’t necessary for this sleepover.”

“But what if I get cold?”

She was flirting with him, and he loved it.

“I’ll keep you plenty warm.”

She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and started to get up.

“Where are you going?”

She laughed. “I just need to use the bathroom. Be right back.”

He watched her graceful form disappear into the bathroom, and after she’d shut the door, he let out an exasperated sigh. What’s wrong with me? We had sex one time (or two, really), and now I can’t let her out of my sight?

He got out of bed, put on a fresh pair of boxer briefs, and then found a Florida Gators T-shirt for Chloe. He pulled back the covers and was fluffing the pillows when she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“What are you doing?” she asked, sounding amused.

He turned to face her, his gaze sweeping over her nakedness. “Just preparing for bed. I got you a T-shirt to wear.” Before she could respond, he slipped the shirt over her head.

She fisted the front of it and held it to her nose, inhaling deeply. “Mmm. It smells like you.”
