on the beach. Somewhere quiet with good Mexican good.”
    “Would it just be us two?” I asked.
    “Of course.”
    “Then I’m in.”
    “We’ll leave as soon as you get off work tomorrow.”
    I smiled. “I’m excited. I’ve never been to California.”
    “You’ll love it,” he said. He pulled up my shirt and kissed the skin of my stomach. “I love your body, baby.”
    “Thank you,” I said. “I try to work out every day.”
    “It shows.”
    “And I have to stay thin for my job.”
    “I didn’t realize that was a prerequisite.”
    “It’s because it’s a fashion magazine,” I said as I rolled my eyes. “It’s so stupid.”
    He pulled off my underwear and kept kissing me.
    I went to grab my jersey but he kept it on. “No.”
    “Well, I want you to be naked.”
    He pulled off his shirts and boxers in a flash.
    I chuckled lightly.
    “I like making love without condoms,” he said as he kissed my neck.
    “It’s nice, huh?”
    “I really like it. I like coming inside you. That’s the best part.”
    I ran my hands up his chest then felt his hard cock.
    “Turn over,” he said.
    I did as he asked and felt his arm wrap around my waist. When he slid inside me, I moaned loudly. It didn’t matter what position we did it in, it was always amazing. He leaned over me and pressed his lips against my ear, whispering to me quietly.
    I felt him stretch me as he moved in and out. I still wore my jersey and his chest pressed against it while he bucked inside me. I held onto his headboard while he rocked me, making me scream. The neighbors probably heard me but I didn’t care.
    My body started to crumble. “Tony…”
    “I’m there too, baby.”
    I clenched the wood. “Yeah…”
    He breathed into my ear as we climaxed together, feeling the connection simultaneously. When I heard him moan, it heightened my arousal. Knowing he felt good made me feel good. He pulled out then lay on the bed. I collapsed on his chest, breathing hard.
    “You’re the best sex I’ve ever had,” he said.
    “I find that hard to believe.”
    “I already have you,” he said. “Why would I tell you a line?”
    “That’s true.”
    He kissed my forehead. “It’s so nice being myself around you. I don’t have to hide anymore.”
    “I’m glad you don’t.” I started thinking about Janet. “I just wish—”
    “Stop.”
    I fell silent.
    “We aren’t thinking about that anymore. We’re happy. That’s all that matters.”
    I sighed.
    “I made you a few drawers to keep your stuff in.”
    “You did?” I asked with a smile.
    “And there’s a drawer in my bathroom so you can put your toothbrush and girly things away.”
    “Girly things?”
    “You know, makeup, tampons…stuff like that.”
    I closed my eyes. “Orlando wants to go on a double date.”
    “Your friend from work?”
    “Yeah.”
    “I’m down.”
    “He and his boyfriend want to check you out.”
    “I hope they don’t fight over me,” he said with a smile.
    “I’ll take them out if they try to steal my man.”
    “I don’t know…I have my bet on the two gay guys. They’d probably beat you up.”
    “Hey, I work out!”
    “They probably work out more than you do.”
    “Damn, you’re right.”
    He buried his face in my neck. “So has anyone been bothering you?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “Like, Tyler or that piece of shit ex-boyfriend of yours.”
    “Oh,” I said. “No.”
    “Good.”
    “Why would they?”
    He kissed my neck gently. “If I lost you, I know I’d be doing everything in my power to win you back.”
    I rolled my eyes. “Danny doesn’t stand a chance.”
    “I like hearing that.”
    I kissed him on the forehead. “No one stands a chance.”
    “Even better,” he whispered.
    “Are you making breakfast tomorrow?”
    He smiled. “What would you like?”
    “Pancakes and coffee.”
    “Okay,” he said. “I’ll make sure it happens. I have a Mickey Mouse pancake maker.”
    “You do?” I asked excitedly.
    “I’m
