him bend toward her for a kiss and she stood on her tiptoes to meet him halfway. Her body shuddered when their lips finally made contact with each other. Her lips voluntarily parted to let him inside. A moan escaped from those parted lips before she could stop it. Caroline was vaguely aware of being lifted and carried down the hall. She felt the soft cotton of her bed’s quilt beneath her. She thought about calling a halt to their lovemaking. She knew it was crazy to become involved with Kyle again, but no words would come. She couldn’t stop it. She wanted him and she needed this. She would worry about the consequences later. Kyle caressed his hands over her body and noted the change in her breathing, as well as the hardened nipples pebbled against the tight cotton t-shirt. “I love the way your body responds to mine,” he whispered. They separated and begin tugging at clothes. Within seconds a pile of discarded clothes lay tangled on the floor of Caroline’s bedroom. She opened her arms and welcomed the weight of Kyle’s body as he settled between her legs. He placed his erection at the center of her welcoming sheath. Caroline came to her senses just in time. “Condom,” she screeched. “I don’t have any condoms. What about you?” Her big blue eyes looked up at him and she hardly dared to breathe. Kyle left her long enough to snag his jeans from the floor. He found his wallet and rummaged through it until his fingers came out with a square foil packet. He held it up for her inspection. She took in a large gulp of air and then watched as Kyle quickly slid on the condom. Then once again she was accepting his weight as he settled over and around her. She felt the tip of his erection nudge her entrance. Their lips met again in a frenzied kiss then she felt Kyle enter her in one powerful thrust. She felt her soft flesh give way to make room for Kyle. Her nerves sizzled wherever he touched her which at this point seemed like everywhere. She could feel her body tighten in preparation for the release it knew was to come. She felt Kyle increase his thrusts and she was lost in the pleasure he gave her. She arched her back and raised her hips to deepen his penetration. She wanted all of him even if it was for just a short time. She felt his hands circle her hips and she turned all control over to him. Their sweat slicked bodies rubbed against each other. It felt so good. He felt so good. Then her entire body tensed. She screamed his name just before her body convulsed in waves and waves of released pleasure. Kyle heard her scream his name right before she tightened around him. It was all he needed to send him over the edge with her. He thrust once more then stilled while spasms of release moved through his body. Caroline felt Kyle still. She buried her face against his shoulder. She couldn’t fight her body’s instinct to cuddle afterward. She felt Kyle tense and then move away. “I need to take care of the condom,” he said in a terse voice. Caroline wasn’t going back to the clingy vine she’d been before. She pointed to a door across the room. “The bathroom’s in there.” She waited until he disappeared before jumping out of bed. She grabbed her silk robe from the hook next to the bed and put it on. Her vulnerability was returning and she just couldn’t face him naked. She tightened the sash just as he walked back into the bedroom. He gave her a one sided smile. “I guess a repeat is out of the question then?” He was half-shocked to realize he wasn’t joking. Something about Caroline made his body primed and ready to go. “Not likely. Go home Kyle.” She picked up his clothes and thrust them into his arms. “This was a mistake. I don’t have any desire to relive the past. You wanted me to move on, so I’ve moved on. Get out and leave me alone.” Before he could
