That was true and she wasn't sure why.
Leaning down, she planted kisses on his chest and his abdomen before she came to his large erection. "Give me the condom."
She put out her hand and he gave her the box. "Couldn't get the box open?"
"My hands are shaking, in case you hadn't noticed."
Smiling, she decided it was nice to have this much power over a man who was so much stronger than everyone else. She ripped open the cardboard container and pulled out a row of foil packages. Without wasting a single move, she promptly tore the top one open and discarded the rest to the floor.
She slipped it on him, and he moaned and closed his eyes.
"Like that?" she asked.
He opened his blue depths to regard her. Shivers traveled up her spine from the intensity of his gaze.
"I'll like it more when it's deep inside you."
She nodded as she straddled him. There wasn't anything more to say or think about. They'd come to this moment and she wanted it. As he slipped inside her, she felt the initial pinch as her body adjusted. God, it had been a very long time since she'd done this.
Ace moaned, grabbing her thighs, squeezing them with his strong hands. "Ride me, gorgeous."
And she felt gorgeous as he stared at her with heat in his eyes. She moved up until she almost pulled all the way off, then she pushed back down on him again. A jolt of pleasure filled her from the inside out. Wow, she was really, really wet. It was no surprise. This is hot.
She set up an easy rhythm; one she suspected had been honed through time by millions of couples. For right now, however, there was only the two of them. Together.
On the couch. Making the heavens move to their embrace.
"Faster, baby, faster."
His voice sounded hoarse, which only made her more turned on. She had done this to him. He was a superhero and he pleaded with her for more. Yes, she would give it to him.
Sitting higher on her knees, she made her movements faster, sharper, more intense. Reaching up, she grabbed her breasts as Ace's hands played havoc with her stomach and back.
She couldn't stand it. The pressure built inside her, driven by the fire she and Ace created together.
"Shit. Alice. I need to move faster."
She could barely speak. "Do it."
Ace grabbed her by her waist and flipped her over backward, awkwardly. For a second they were just badly strewn body parts—arms and legs that weren't sure where they should be placed. Then it all came together, and she gasped as Ace plunged deep inside her pussy. Wrapping her legs around him as he pushed her to the edge of the couch, she felt his hand catch her head before she banged against the armrest.
Yes, this was what she wanted. In and out, over and again, he moved. She bit down on her lip. Her muscles clenched. She wanted to come.
Ace spoke nonsense to her. She had no idea what he said. Some seemed dirty, some of it sweet. It all had the same effect. His voice only added to the intensity. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She knew seconds before it happened. Her insides exploded in a frenzy of feelings and colors, the likes of which she had never before experienced. Her back arched from the couch. "Yes," she screamed, and then screamed his name, thanking the heavens, all at the same time.
Moments later, Ace followed with a window-rattling shout. His arms came around her as he fell forward and tugged her into a tight embrace.
She closed her eyes, desperately hoping she wouldn't have to think for the next several hours. She wasn't sure she'd be capable.
"Um . . . I'm home."
Ace's head shot up as he stared over the couch. "Shit."
Alice opened one eye, as the post-coital bliss she'd envisioned fled from the room. She whispered. "It's Lael, isn't it?"
Ace didn't look at her. "You're not supposed to be home for another hour."
Opening the other eye, she noticed Ace's coloring had turned a distinctive red.
He was embarrassed. She supposed she should be also, but both Ace and the couch concealed her. Lael couldn't see her at
