Twelve years. That's how long it's been since I've kissed Karma Fitzgerald. The kiss in the pool didn't count. This was different.

When I cupped her face with my hands and crushed my lips against hers, I didn't miss her little gasp of surprise. She didn't think I would take the bait. At first, I tried to resist what she was offering. I knew that if she and I jumped into bed again, it was going to snowball from there.

I tilted my head to the side, deepening the kiss as her tongue danced with mine. God, I missed this. I missed her. I missed everything about her. I felt Karma reach for the waistband of my jeans and my heart started thundering against my ribs. The anticipation of what was going to happen between us was overwhelming.

My hard erection pressed against the denim material of my jeans. Christ. I wanted her more than I've ever wanted any other woman. That's what Karma did to me. She consumed me like no other before her. And no other after her.

I felt her undo my button before I heard the ziiiiiiip of my zipper being pulled down. She pulled away from my mouth and pulled my shirt over my head. There was a sultry smirk on her face and a light in her eyes that brought back memories.

She ran her gaze over my chest and drew her bottom lip between her teeth. "I have to say...this," she ran her hand over my abs, "is a panty-dropper all by itself."

I arched a brow. "Is that so?" I reached under her sundress and pressed my fingers against her soaking wet panties. "Seems like you still have yours on, gorgeous."

When I knelt down in front of her, my eyes never left hers as I grabbed the waist band of her panties and slid them down her long legs. Even though I was lost in the lust and hunger of wanting Karma, I didn't forget whose house this was. Once I removed her panties, I shoved them into the pocket of my jeans. The last thing I needed was her mom or dad finding them laying around their house.

Karma kept her eyes on me as I rose back to my feet. Needing to feel her skin, I ran my hand down her arm. Then I brushed it against her thigh. I leaned into her and kissed at her neck. Her head fell back and a little moan escaped her .

"I miss the way you feel," I whispered against her skin. "You're just as soft as I remember."

My hand slid between her thighs again and I stroked my finger against her core. Her hands flew to my shoulders and she gripped them tight. She wasn't trying to stop me, she was silently begging me for more; and I was ready to give her whatever she wanted.

When her wetness coated my fingers, I groaned with a desperate need. I slid my finger deeper inside her; stroking her in time with the kisses I was still giving her. I rubbed her clit with my thumb and she was putty in my arms. I held her up with my free hand as I continued to bring her to orgasm.

"Nathan..." she moaned and I knew she was close.

I greedily kissed her on the mouth this time-tugging on her lip with my teeth as I pulled away from her. I felt her body tense and her legs start to shake. Five seconds later, she called out my name.

Once she came down from her climax, her eyes met mine. I withdrew my fingers and gave her a smirk of my own.

"You have no idea how gorgeous you are when you come, Karma."

"Yeah? Well why don't you prove it." She stepped back and held out her hand. "Come with me, Nathan."

I took the hand she offered and she led me up the stairs. I had no intentions tonight except making love to Karma. I knew we would both probably be pissed about this tomorrow. But tomorrow wasn't tonight. She led me to her bedroom and dimmed the lights before turning on her radio. The music was so soft I couldn't really tell what the song was. But that didn't matter.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked her quietly. I knew there was a possibility that asking that question could put a stop to this. But I needed to be sure. I needed to know that she was sure. Karma wasn't some girl I picked up in a bar. Oh, no. She was...much more than that.

She took a few steps back and stopped when she got to the foot of her bed. "I'm sure." She turned and gave me her back. "Are you going to help me with my dress? Or are you just going to stand there?"

Unable to resist her, I walked up behind her. I unzipped the summer dress she had on and pushed it from her shoulders. Her loose dress fell to the floor-leaving her in just her bra. Holy...fuck. She didn't move. She was waiting for me to take off the rest. My fingers shook as I unhooked the back. It fell on top of the discarded dress.

She turned towards me and I exhaled a shaky breath. "You're fucking gorgeous."

She chuckled and brushed her hair back. She used to do that all the time. But be a habit she still had. "You said that already."

"It's worth repeating."

"Enough talking," she whispered and brushed her lips against mine. "I want you inside me, Nathan."

She gave me a long, deep kiss. That's what did it for me. I reached down and scooped her up in my arms. Her laugh came out as a squeal as I carried her to the bed. I laid her down softly in the middle of the plush mattress. Completely unabashed, she stretched her naked body, resting her hands above her head.

Over the past twelve years, I've never forgotten what she looked like. I remembered her face, her body...everything. But fuck. She looked even better now.

My jeans were still undone and I pushed them and my boxers down to the floor. I stepped out of them and stretched out on the bed beside her. I traced my left hand over each one of her nipples slowly. She gasped, but didn't move her arms. My fingers continued down her flat stomach to the juncture between her thighs. She spread her legs to give me more access. One thing that I have always loved about her, was the fact that she wasn't modest around me.

I teased her entrance without actually fingering her. I held her gaze as I promised, "I'm going to spend hours reacquainting myself with every inch of your body, Karma."

Her gaze turned heated and I felt her get even wetter beneath my touch.

"But first," I said as I hovered myself above her. "I need to be inside you too badly to take my time."

"Sounds good to me," she said on a rush before she pulled my lips to hers.

Her kiss was urgent and greedy. Her hands were everywhere. They were buried in the hair at the nape of my neck. They ran over my back, pulling me closer to her. She opened her legs wider as I positioned myself above her; pressing my hard dick against her core.

I cupped her face as our kissing turned heated. Her hands were linked behind my neck and she wrapped her right leg around my hip. I couldn't wait any longer. I entered her with one hard thrust. She gasped against my lips and arched her back, her bare breasts pressing against my chest.

I pulled back a little and her eyes met mine. Old memories passed between us. Memories we both probably tried to bury even though most of them were good.

So good.

Now that I was all the way inside her, I couldn't stop the way my eyes slid closed and my body shuttered. Nothing in this world felt better than her tight, hot channel gripping my throbbing cock. I withdrew slowly, savoring every single second of this. My head dropped into the hollow of her neck as I started making love to her with long, steady strokes.

"You feel even better than I remember," I whispered so low I didn't think she could hear.

I was wrong.

"So do you," she said. "God, Nathan. I've missed you so much." The last part came out as a moan. It was almost like an inner thought that she said out loud.

I looked into her eyes for a moment before I rolled us over. I wanted to look up at her while she rode me. She leaned forward, resting her hands on my abs as she continued a steady rhythm. Unable to keep my hands off of her, I ran them up her stomach and over her breasts before I cupped the back of her neck and pulled her down to kiss me. I always loved kissing her. I always felt I never got enough of kissing Karma.

"You have no idea how much I've missed you, gorgeous," I breathed against her lips.

My hands gripped her thighs as she started riding me faster. She sat up and sank her teeth into her bottom lip. She was getting close. I reached between her legs and started rubbing her clit. She came apart instantly.

I quickly rolled her over so she was on her back again. Slow and steady turned into fast and hard.

"Nathan! Oh, God..." Her moans grew louder and I loved the sound of it. "Don't stop. Please don't stop."

I had no intention of stopping. I told her I was going to spend hours reacquainting myself with her body and I wasn't fucking lying. Deep down...I think we both knew this night was inevitable.

As I felt my release building, I fucked her harder. I leaned forward to kiss her and she sucked on my tongue hungrily. Just as she raked her nails down my back, my climax hit me. Karma cried out as my hot release filled her. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. I leaned my forehead against hers as we tried to catch our breaths.

Karma trailed her fingers down my spine and goosebumps breakout on my skin.

"You're amazing," I said between pants.

She chuckled at that. "I can say the same about you."

I couldn't remember a time when I was as happy as I was right now. Well, a time that I wasn't with Karma. Nothing could ruin this moment. Nothing could take away-

"Fuck!" I yelled and leaned back to look at her.

"What is it?"

I met her alarmed expression with one of my own. "We didn't use a condom."
