Healing Touch by Brenda Rothert

sucked my clit while working another finger into my ass. What would have hurt any other time was about to send me over the edge.
    I started to come, my moan guttural as the climax seized me, and Carson caught my hip with his free hand and held on. He never let up, his fingers and mouth working a long deep orgasm from my body. When I finally started to come down, he eased his fingers out of me and I dropped down to the mattress, panting.
    He moved to lay down next to me on his side, leaning on one elbow, but I grabbed his face in my hands and pulled him to me for a kiss.
    “I can’t even put into words how amazing that was,” I said. “I’ve never felt anything like that.”
    He made a low sound of amusement and wrapped his big hand around my hip. “Your pleasure is my pleasure, Joss.”
    Damn. I was so lucky to have met this wounded, beautiful man. I’d shown him my fears and insecurities, and he hadn’t blinked. And now, with his warmth next to me in my bed, those fears and insecurities were nowhere to be found.

I WAS ROCK hard but not feeling a need to do anything about it. I’d pulled Joss into my arms and her soft, beautiful body against mine had sent me into a deeper state of relaxation than I’d felt in a long time. We could sleep this way for the few hours we had.
    She ran her fingers over one of my biceps and I kissed her one more time. I hadn’t wanted to kiss a woman in a long while, and now that I’d found one I wanted to kiss, I couldn’t seem to get enough. Fucking was one thing, but kissing was a softer, more intimate act. Joss made me want the soft intimacy.
    Her free hand wrapped around my cock and I sucked in a surprised breath.
    “This is a bit intimidating, but I think I can handle it,” she said, stroking me. It felt so damn good that I let my eyes slide closed so I could just savor her touch on me for a few seconds.
    “My dick’s intimidating?” I said, surprised. “You mean ‘cause it’s so hard?”
    It was straight as an arrow and hard as hell since I’d tasted her pussy.
    She gave a low, sexy laugh and hooked one leg around mine. “That, and it’s awfully big too.”
    I groaned as she stroked me faster. “It’ll be big and hard the next time you see it, too,” I promised. “You should try to get some rest. I know you’re tired.”
    Her startled gasp made me turn my head in an effort to see her in the dark.
    “You okay?” I asked.
    “I thought you’d want to have sex. You want to sleep?”
    “No.” I leaned up on an elbow so I could see the lines of her face. “You can tell how much I want you, Joss. You have to work today though, and you were up all night. I didn’t want you to think I expected it. I mean, I don’t expect it.”
    “Well, I expect it,” she said softly.
    I threw back my head and laughed. “Baby, I’ll put out for you anytime. You’ll never have to say it twice.”
    I kissed her, starting soft and slow. By the time I’d eased her onto her back and was climbing on top of her, we were both digging in our hands and kissing each other with the pent up hunger inside us.
    “Oh, shit,” she said suddenly. “Please, please tell me you have condoms.”
    “I’ve got one in my wallet. Got it at a buddy’s bachelor party a few months ago.”
    I reached over the side of the bed and found my jeans, pulling out my wallet and locating the condom. Joss’ legs were spread wide open. She wanted it as bad as I did. I wasn’t gonna make either of us wait any longer.
    I’d barely gotten the condom ripped open and rolled on and she was reaching for me.
    “Tell me if you need me to stop,” I said, leaning over her to kiss her neck and speak in her ear. I breathed in the warm, exotic smell of her perfume on her neck and said a silent prayer that this was only the first of many times I’d make love to this incredible woman.
    “Just start slow,” she said, holding tightly to my shoulders.
    I slid in slightly, pausing to kiss her and get ahold of myself. She
