me?”
    â€œI don’t have a clue.”
    She grinned. “Right. Because you’re the guy.” Her smile faded. “I had no idea it could be like that. If it feels half as good for you when you, well, you know, why on earth would you have resisted for so long?”
    â€œI was trying to do the right thing.”
    She touched his cheek. “Silly man.”
    â€œI’ve been called worse.”
    He bent down and kissed her. She’d thought he might protest taking things further and was pleased when he moved close and she felt his arousal against her thigh.
    As she kissed him and rubbed her hands up and down his back, he tugged off his boxers, then knelt between her thighs. She felt him pressing against her. Instinctively she braced herself for the painful stretching, but it never came. She felt a slight pressure as he filled her, which actually felt kind of nice.
    He filled her completely, moving slowly in and out of her. His weight felt comfortable, safe and a little sexy. She was aware of being female and the power contained in that. This was her husband, she thought as a little tingle shot through her. They were making love.
    He began to move faster. Her body clenched around him and she felt the beginning of the same pressure she remembered from before. Was it possible she could climax again? Like this?
    But before she could decide, he stiffened and groaned. She felt him go still.
    Five minutes later, they were under the covers. Neither of them had pulled on clothes, which meant they were naked. She’d never slept naked before. Not that she felt sleepy.
    â€œI have some questions,” she said as she snuggled close, feeling at one with the universe.
    â€œAsk anything.”
    â€œAre you sure? Some of them are personal.”
    He looked at her and smiled. “More personal than what we just did?” he asked, his voice teasing.
    â€œThey’re on the same subject.”
    â€œI guessed as much. What do you want to know?”
    â€œHow come it didn’t hurt?” she asked. “Last time it was so painful. This time I felt pressure and stretching, but it wasn’t close to the same.”
    Dev stroked her hair. “You weren’t a virgin, which helped. Plus, you were aroused. When you get turned on, your body changes. You get swollen and wet.”
    She’d thought things felt different “down there” but hadn’t had much frame of reference. Knowing the mechanics and having them happen were not the same.
    â€œIt didn’t last much longer,” she said. “But I felt some tingling when you were inside. Could I, um, you know, that way?”
    Dev groaned. “Next time it’ll last longer. It’s been a while for me, okay? Plus, I’ve been fantasizing about this for weeks.”
    She turned toward him, which meant her bare breasts brushed against his arm. The contact was so unexpected, she nearly lost her train of thought. “What are you talking about?”
    â€œI didn’t last long enough. Guys don’t like to hear that.”
    How stupid. As if he could control those feelings. “Whatever. Could I?”
    â€œMaybe. With practice.”
    Practice? That sounded yummy.
    His words replayed in her mind. “You’ve been fantasizing about me? Really? Like what?”
    â€œLike everything.” His dark gaze brightened with fire. “I’ve been thinking about touching you, tasting you. Being together everywhere. The kitchen counter, this bed, the pool.”
    The pool? People did that? She felt both shocked and excited by his words. Who would ever have thought that calm, responsible, mature Devlin Hunter was so sexy?
    â€œI’m not sure I could get naked in the pool during the day,” she said, ignoring the blush on her cheeks. “But I’m willing to try it at night.”
    He claimed her with a kiss that made her wish he would touch her again. Instead he pulled
