The Librarian Principle by Helena Hunting

Ryder moving inside her, his fingers threaded tight through hers, the feel of his lips, and then his teeth against her neck. The sensations he evoked paired with his words sent her over the edge. Freefalling, Liese gave herself over to the feeling of being completely consumed. Her orgasm hit her with such force it sent her spinning, just as she’d predicted.
    Ryder waited until she’d caught her breath before he moved again. His hand moved over her stomach and between her breasts, fingertips tickling hypersensitive skin. His palm came to rest gently against the base of her throat, his thumb finding its way between her lips. Liese bit down, sucking softly as his other arm came around her waist and pulled her tight against him. He pushed in deep, stilling as he lowered his head to her shoulder, a low groan of satisfaction muffled against her skin. Then he collapsed onto the pillows, taking her down with him.
    “Will you stay the night?” Ryder asked on an exhale, moving her hair aside so he could kiss her temple. “Because I’d like to do this again in the morning.”

Liese woke to the soft sounds of jazz and a hard-on against her ass. Her eyes popped open as the events of the previous night came back to her in a rush.
    Ryder had spanked her. And then they’d had very hot, gratifying sex.
    As she lay in his bed, his warm body cocooning hers, she should have been relaxed. But the moment her eyes opened, her brain started to work. Liese became acutely aware that the moment she left Ryder’s bed, real life would come crashing down on her. She would have to go to work and spend the day pretending the night before hadn’t happened. In theory it seemed doable, but the reality carried a different set of complications.
    The arm draped over her waist moved as Ryder’s hand smoothed down her stomach. Her internal freak-out took a backseat when his fingers drifted lower.
    “ Good morning,” he said in a sleep-graveled voice.
    Liese hummed in response, pushing her face into the pillow as Ryder burrowed his nose into her neck. She breathed into the cotton to find out how bad her morning breath was and decided not to roll over and face him.
    “ Did you sleep well?”
    “ Mmm-hmmm,” Liese replied.
    “ Do you feel okay?” His hand moved lower, cupping her, indicating the part he referred to.
    “ I’d be better if you’d stop teasing me.”
    “ Is that so?” His hand disappeared.
    He palmed the back of her knee and pushed her leg up toward her chest. There was no precursor, no foreplay as he rubbed the head of his erection over sensitive skin. Liese groaned as he found her entrance and slipped in.
    He paused, breathing ragged. “Okay?”
    She nodded, pushing against him, urging him deeper. Ryder held her hip, keeping her still as he withdrew almost entirely before inching back in, filling her completely.
    He molded his body around hers, one leg stretched out along her straight one, one knee bent to fit inside the crook of hers. It felt different than last night. There was nothing frantic about this coupling. He moved inside her slowly, his forehead pressed against the back of her neck.
    Reaching up, she slid her fingers into his hair, gripping the silken strands firmly. Liese felt his mouth on her shoulder, his lips parting to suck on the skin as he continued to thrust.
    He slid an arm under her waist to wrap around her, palming her breast. His other hand dipped between her legs to find the spot that made her moan his name. The slow grinding of his hips matched the lazy circling of his fingers, and a rush of warmth flooded her body. The sensation radiated through her in waves and she rode it out, desperate to hold onto the connection between them.
    “ God, you feel so good,” Ryder whispered, holding her tight as he followed with his own release shortly after.
    They lay there for a long while, Ryder’s lips moving over her shoulder and neck, his fingers gilding languidly up and down her leg.
    “ That was a nice way
