face and kissing her cheek. Paige smelled toothpaste and a whiff of Robbie’s banker man cologne. Paige rolled onto her back.
    “You know I don’t care, right?”
    “I know,” Leslie said with a smile. “But seriously, that Joey? He’s a keeper.” Leslie stood up and smoothed her perfectly smooth hair. “Mama’s getting him set up down the hall. He and Daddy are bonding over cars. I don’t think he even noticed you left him alone with them.” Her sister shot her a strange look.
    “Yeah, whatever.” Paige dragged herself up and into the bathroom, still festooned with the pink fluffy rugs and toilet seat cover of her youth. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and pulled off the limp sundress. A flash memory of Joey’s lips, his tongue, and fingers, and what they’d done to her earlier made her shiver.
    “A keeper,” she whispered to herself before she grabbed a pair of old shorts and a T-shirt from her dresser, knowing her mother kept them there in some kind of ongoing fantasy that her oldest daughter would come home from the big city jungle up north.
    As she crawled between the crisp sheets, taking a deep breath of the familiar fabric softener, she dropped almost immediately into sleep. In her dreams, Joey kissed her, held her, and caressed her. When the dreams became too vivid, she opened her eyes and accepted she wasn’t dreaming anymore. Joey was with her, in her bed, despite his earlier denials. And he was gloriously, perfectly naked.
    “What are you doing?” she sighed into his lips.
    “Calming you down,” he said, sliding her shorts off and slipping his hand between her legs and stroking her to a quick, lovely orgasm.
    “God,” she moaned, pressing him onto his back and straddling him without preamble. “I need you inside me.”
    “That makes two of us,” Joey confirmed, his smile still wide, his fingertips digging into her thighs. “You feel amazing,” he said, pulling her down so he could suck her nipple into his mouth. “Come again, Paige,” he muttered around her flesh. “Show me.”
    She ground down on his pubic bone and closed her eyes, feeling the climax roll up her spine until it hit her brain and shot down to her pussy, making her yelp. He clapped a hand over her mouth, hooked her leg and rolled them until he had her pinned beneath him. Even as the orgasm gripped her in waves of pleasure, his thrusts drew it out. She gripped his muscled arms, angled her hips and took him deeper.
    “Gonna . . . can’t stop,” he groaned and covered her lips just as she felt him shudder all over and release inside her. “Oh, shit,” he sighed, his body still thrusting against hers. “Oh . . . shit!” He rolled off her fast, leaving her gasping and empty. “Oh shit, Paige, I didn’t use . . . are you . . . crap.”
    He sat on the side of the bed, head hanging low, shoulders shaking. Paige got up on her knees and wrapped her arms around him from behind. “It’s fine. I take a birth control shot. No baby mamas here. And I’m clean.”
    He sighed and dragged her around so she sat, cradled in his arms. His kiss was soft and gentle, and the sexiest damn thing ever. “You’re pretty amazing. Everybody thinks so,” she said mumbled around his lips.
    He chuckled and kissed her nose, then stood up still holding her, turned and tucked her back into her bed.
    “That was a nice surprise,” she said, already feeling herself slip into sleep.
    “A little quick,” he admitted. “Sorry. I’ll make the next one better. I was, uh, a little pent up.”
    “I can imagine,” she whispered. “Thanks.”
    “You’re welcome,” he whispered back. “Sleep. Tomorrow’s gonna be a long day.”
    “I . . . think I love you,” she said, praying she was dreaming and not actually saying those words to a total stranger.
    He smiled at her, his teeth shining in the moonlight streaming in her windows, pecked her nose, then got up and tiptoed out of her room.
