“It doesn’t matter,” I murmur, soothing her. “I will save you.”
Her whole body relaxes in my arms, and I feel my own muscles start to relax. This night was terrifying and stressful and shocking and ultimately healing. Melissa and I are here together. We have no secrets anymore.
I reach forward to shut off the water. She doesn’t speak. She only watches as I step out of the glass-encased shower and grab a towel. Holding out my hand, I only wait a half-second before she puts hers in mine. It’s all I need to know.
Buffing her body with the plush towel, I drop it on the floor and carry her to my large bed. We’ve made love, but now we need to rest. In the morning we’ll sort out what all of this means.
For now, I’ll hold her beautiful body next to mine to sleep.

One to Love
Exclusive Sneak Peek
(Kenny & Slayde)
© TLM Productions LLC, 2014
#SexyFighters
Slayde
I lay awake, staring at the ceiling, Kenny’s soft body draped over me as she breathed quietly against my chest.
At the same time, it was possible I was expecting too much. She could just be in this for fun, a few dinners, a roll in the sack, and back to friends.
No, I knew that wasn’t the case. It went against all the signals she’d been sending.
Allowing my mind to travel back, I thought of how she looked when I first saw her tonight. The red dress she wore hung on her slim body in a way that drove me crazy. I wanted to slide those spaghetti straps off her shoulders, lift that filmy skirt and explore everything underneath. Topping it all off, she had on these insanely sexy shoes. She was so tiny without them.
Her funny old-fashioned hairstyle was like something a former beauty queen would wear, a little lump with gentle curls spilling down her back to her waist. That’s not right. A beauty queen would be all platinum and pink, and Kenny was jet-violet and red. Damn I loved her boldness.
It activated that possessiveness in me that I’d tried to curb. I wanted to pull her hair back and claim that mouth. I wanted to claim every inch of her, but I knew from my experience to take it easy.
Only a few times I wavered, lost control. She seemed turned on by it. When I took her like a fucking animal our first time, she cried and twisted, wrapping her legs around me and pumping her hips against mine. It was so hot. I was fucking the shit out of her, and her body was begging for more.
