<em>Oh, for cryin' out loud, don't smirk.</em>But it was hard not to smile as Sarah's weight, slight as it was, sagged in his arms as the last of her tremors passed. Her satisfaction was a rich reward, and he savored it.<br/><br/>Their eyes locked as she took that almost bashful glance at him from under her lashes, and he grinned again. Pulling herself together already, eh? Cooper bent and kissed her forehead warmly. No sense in delay then.<br/><br/>He withdrew his hand from her, licked his fingers clean again, and took the hand she was resting against his chest. Little by little, he eased her down to sit on the edge of the bed. Her other hand was still securely lodged in his shorts and half pulled them away as she sank.<em>Time to get rid of these anyway.</em>With a short nudge, he pushed them down until they fell to the floor on their own and he stood before her naked and stiff.<br/><br/>A light kiss on the back of her hand and he released it to step to the nightstand and open the drawer. Just as he had expected, it was stocked with a bewildering variety of condoms, lotions and who knew what else. He rummaged through the packages until he found a plain old Trojan, giving Sarah a minute to shed her panties and settle into whatever position she fancied.
