“I can’t hold back,” he gritted out, his teeth skimming along my neck. “Fuck, I need you.”

Adjustment forgotten, I wrapped my legs around his waist and held on as he pulled out to the tip, then slammed home inside me. Every inch of me felt full with his cock, his kisses, his hands on my body. There was no escaping him, not even ifI needed a breath of air. He was everywhere, filling me to the point of suffocation.

And with every thrust of his cock, I felt that familiar build inside me, sending shivers through my body as I struggled to breathe.

“Tighten that pussy,” he grumbled. “Let me feel you come all over my cock.”

He didn’t have to say the words. I was already coming hard and fast, my legs shaking as he fucked me harder.

A loud, piercing ring filled my ears as he cried out, thrusting one last time inside me before collapsing on top of me. His large body crushed me into the mattress, but I was working so hard on not passing out that I didn’t pay attention to the additional weight.

That is, until it became a little too hard to breathe.

I tapped his shoulder repeatedly until he finally got the hint and rolled off me.

And then I laid there, panting and completely sated, my eyes drifting closed and desperately seeking a nap despite the fact that I had places to be and things to do.

I laid there,panting and staring up at the ceiling as I struggled to calm the need still growing inside me.

I didn’t dare look at the woman beside me. She was addictive, tempting, and a distraction I wasn’t sure I needed right now. But the moment my eyes locked with hers in the diner, it was like something overcame me and I was unable to stop myself from storming out of the diner and ravaging her.

Now…

“So…” She cleared her throat, and that was the moment I knew this was a mistake.

What just happened was fucking amazing in every way, but it shouldn’t have happened. I wasn’t cut out for a life like this, and I definitely didn’t have any right to do the things I wanted to do to a woman like her. She was too good for the way I would inevitably treat her.

And there was no way this could happen again.

Sighing, I sat up, scooting to the edge of the bed. Finding my pants, I started pulling them on as I heard her sit up. I knew it was coming. The inevitable question was about to be asked, and I wasn’t ready for it.

Getting to my feet, I tugged the jeans up and let them hang open as I searched for my shirt. I should have known better. Cassidy was not a ring girl or even one of the groupies who chased me after a fight. She was from this small town, and I’d just fucked her in my tiny house on wheels.

And I had no idea what to do now.

“Look,” I said, shoving my fingers through my unruly strands that had grown too long. “This was great, but…I mean, it was just a one-time thing.”

When I finally looked at her, I hated myself even more than I had ten seconds ago. She wasn’t crying or anything like that, but there was definite hurt smattered on her face.

“It really was good,” I tried to reassure her.

What did a guy normally say to a woman he’d just had sex with? My extent of knowledge went so far as the groupies I woke up beside after a night of wild sex. They all knew to leave afterward, and none of them required a conversation of any kind. They were just happy they got to sleep with a champion.

But I wasn’t a champion now.

I had left that life behind, and now I was…

Fuck, I didn’t have a clue.

“Yeah,” she chuckled, scooting to the edge of the bed.

With her hair hanging in her face, she quickly gathered her clothes, not bothering to look at me as she continued to explain away that she was fine.

“I mean, obviously, this wasn’t anything…special. I mean, we kissed and ended up around the corner in a house.” She finally looked up and frowned. “A house on wheels that I often see being carted around town. Strange.”
