AN: In another one of my Brio works, Worth It (shameless plug!), I mention the night Beth and Rio knew things between them had changed. Since the encounters of this work lead to the story of that one, I decided to put that night here. Hope you all enjoy!

Like clockwork, Rio and Beth found time to meet up with each other at least a couple of times a week. More than that on a really good week. And each and every time, she felt herself falling a little harder. She didn't know if it was the conversations they had once they had gotten more comfortable with each other or the sex was just so, so good that it was making her feel feelings that she was sure weren't happening on Rio's end.

This particular week was chock full of those feelings. A couple of nights before, they met up at her house like they usually did when Dean and the kids were gone. He let her know that he would be leaving town in a few days to tend to business she wasn't allowed to know about. The feelings almost bubbled out with an "I'll miss you.", but she swallowed it and simply nodded instead. They made plans then to meet up at a hotel the night before he left and that night had come. Rio insisted on doing all of the planning and booking and she was pleasantly surprised when she arrived at a very luxurious hotel. Even more surprised at them having the penthouse suite, but then again it seemed like exactly his style.

The room and the food was the only thing fancy about the evening. They were both their regular selves and that was what made Beth so happy. After they had a few orgasms between them, they took a break. With the both of them covered by nothing but a single sheet, Beth had made herself comfortable and laid with her head towards the foot of the bed while Rio sat at the head of the bed with his legs stretched out towards the foot of the bed.

"Can you at least tell me how long you'll be gone?" she asked.

He looked like he thought about telling her, but that was probably just to satisfy her.

"I can let you know when I'm back." he answered with a grin.

"Fine, but I guess I'll just have to find someone else to spend time with while you're gone."

He didn't like that and she could tell by the look on his face.

"Don't play with me." His eyes left her face and watched his own hand land on her leg, giving it a light squeeze before caressing upwards.

"Well, you won't tell me where you'll be or who you'll be with."

"I won't be with nobody. Not like this." he assured her. "And you better not be either."

"I'm not going to be with anyone else. I don't want anyone else. Because I don't think I could find anyone who..." Her breath hitched as his hand got closer and closer to her core. "Who would be better."

"I'm the best, huh?" he asked with that infamous smirk on his face.

"I'm pretty sure I've told you that." she said, eyes looking up as if they could spot the memory.

"You ain't tell me that. But I ain't surprised." he said, cockiness dripping from his voice.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Why am I the best?" he asked, his fingers now slowly massaging the pink delight that lay between her alabaster thighs.

"Well, one reason is that you're always so...thorough when you're down there. You don't mind getting messy."

She wanted more of what his fingers were doing so she rolled onto her back, scooted herself closer to the head of the bed and spread her knees apart; one landing on his thigh and one staying up in the air.

"Fuck. What else?" he asked, his thumb dipping into her slickness then circling her clit. More than he loved making her quiver, he loved watching her quiver.

"This." she answered, pulling at the sheet that was covering him, slowly revealing his hardening cock. "When you're inside of me...it doesn't feel like anything else I've ever felt. I want that feeling now."

She sat up and quickly straddled him, bringing her lips to his immediately. She kissed him like they were racing against the clock. Like in two minutes, she would have to let him go. His hands' bruising grip on her hips and his erection making itself known between them made her feel like she was going to explode.

"Slow down." he murmured, their lips to pressed together, tongues going in and out of each other's mouths. "I'm gon' miss you."

She paused and looked at him. She had been wanting to tell him that, but didn't want him to break things off for her getting too sentimental. She looked him in his eyes and obeyed his command; she slowed down. She rested her hands on the sides of his face and kissed him like they had all the time in the world. And damn it, it made her hotter than she already was. Rio slid one hand from Beth's hip to her breast before his mouth moved there as well. He took a nipple in his mouth and smiled around it when he heard her moaning. He moved his face between her ample breasts, kissing and nipping at her skin.

"And that. You know I love when you do that." she said, letting out a breathy giggle, not even regretting her choice of words after she'd said it.

"Last one." he said, reaching over and grabbing the last condom off of the nightstand.

Beth reached between them and stroked Rio while he opened the condom. Once he had it on, she lifted her hips before placing the head of his cock at her entrance and slowly lowering herself onto it. She let out a breath once he was fully inside of her and rolled her hips towards him. His hands palmed her ass as she as she added up and down motions to her rolling hips at a slow, steady pace.

"Mmm, Rio." she moaned.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her as close to him as possible while moving his hips to meet her thrusts. It was rare for him to hold her like that and for the sex to be so satisfactorily languid. So tonight was different. Tonight was in an unforgettable category all its own. He held her bottom lip between his lips, opening his mouth whenever she moaned because it was like he could taste her pleasure, her feelings. It was like she didn't have to say a word at all. Her hands meeting behind his neck, her thumbs stroking back and forth, and her hips slowly winding communicated enough for him. Trying to fight through the pleasure, she got enough wits about her to kiss him and even that was different. Keeping eye contact for as long as they could, they shared a passionate kiss. It made her hips grind harder on him and she could feel her orgasm creeping up. The eruption started slowly, then began surging through her core at full speed and full strength.

"Oh, I love..." You , she decided to finish the thought in her head.

She learned early on that Rio could read her like a book, inside and out. But what she had never planned on was him returning the feelings or thoughts he read.

"I love you too." he murmured through his pleasure as he swiftly moved Beth onto her back, continuing to pump in and out of her quivering core slowly.

As if the orgasm wasn't already taking over Beth's entire body, Rio's words rocked her as well. Hooking her arms under his, letting her nails dig into muscled back, she experienced what felt like the longest, most earth shattering orgasm she had ever had. She bit his shoulder to keep from screaming out and as soon as she sank her teeth into his tan, salty skin, he came. She kissed up his neck and jaw as they both rode out their orgasms. He didn't remove himself from her right away and she was more than glad to keep him where he was. Their bodies still connected and her nails still lazily scratching at his back, she kissed him and he smiled against her lips.

"Damn, you about to have me all scratched up and bruised." he said, breaking the silence after their panting and moaning cleared the air.

"Good." she replied. "So now while you're gone, you'll remember this night."

"Sweetheart, I ain't gon' have no problem keeping this on my mind."

And neither would she.
