Solving the math problem.

Chapter 3: Getting closer to a solution.
Someone was in a hurry. Not that Dani disagreed in the slightest with Charlie getting out of those pants. According to the deal, it was time to lose her clothes too. Dani stepped out of reach of those long arms and slid the fabric down her legs to join her shoes on the floor. When she looked up, Charlie Crews was sitting naked on the edge of his bed, reaching for her. "Come here, Dani." She shouldn't want to go him, but there wasn't an inch of her body that didn't feel the call of those hands, that mouth, those eyes. There was nothing she wanted more than to get those arms back around her. Taking his hand, Dani let Charlie pull her into his lap and warmed her hands along the strong muscles of his back. Those long fingers pulled her close before tilting her chin up. "Dani, kiss me." //Yes,// She slowly leaned flat against his chest to reach his lips, feeling his heart racing against her own. The kiss was slow, soft, and sweet, seeming to last forever and still not long enough. Dani pulled back to the slow opening of his eyes and the feel of his fingers sliding along her cheek. "My sweet Dani, you're not close enough. You'll never be close enough."
The look on his face made her want to cuddle him close, comfort him. And it was a theory to test. "Let's see about that." Taking his hand, Dani moved to the middle of the bed and smiled at him. "Come here, Charlie," The next thing she knew, she was wrapped in the heat of his skin and the strong grip of his arms, lost in his kiss. The muscles in his back moved under her hands as he pressed closer. But he still wasn't close enough. Dani wanted to feel all of him. Shifting in his arms, she curled her legs around his waist and arched against the hardness she found.
"Dani," Charlie pulled out of the kiss to stare into her eyes. Long fingers slid down her stomach to the wet heat between her legs. The satisfied smile on his lips was almost as amazing as the stroke and exploration of those fingertips. "Hmm, you do need this, need me, don't you, Dani?" He pressed two long fingers inside to the helpless arching of her hips. "That bad, huh?" The next thrust of his hand sent her nails into the flexing muscles of his arms. When her eyes fell closed, he dipped his head to wrap his lips around the peak of her breast. //More, closer.//
Dani scrabbled for the tiniest amount of control and forced her eyes open and her body still. She sent one hand down the lean muscles of his chest to wrap around the hard length of his erection. "Damnit, Charlie, closer. Now." She simply adored the look on his face as his long-held control shredded. She loved even more the feel of his body shifting over hers to slide deep and hard inside her. //Fuck, yes, Charlie,//
"Dani," Every inch of his body trembled against hers. His head dropped to her shoulder, arms squeezing her tight against heaving ribs. He felt so damn good finally close enough. Dani held him tight, breathing raggedly past the feel of Charlie finally so close, so hard, so deep. Strong hands clenched on her back, rubbing upward to slide through her hair. "Dani," Those deep blue eyes met hers, making it even harder to breathe.
The look on Charlie's face made her hands shake as she cupped his face. "Just breathe, Charlie," His lips quirked in the moment before he leaned in for the kiss. He was delicious and the kiss was slow, sweet, and hot. Dani got lost in the taste and heat of him, tightening her arms and legs around him for just a little more of that heat. He groaned against her lips when her hips shifted under his, pressing just a little deeper. "Hmm, Charlie,"
"You feel so…" Those lips brushed hers like he didn't want her to breathe. Then Charlie made the first careful thrust inside her. //Oh, yes,// That was exactly what she wanted, every inch of his body rubbing along nerves that wanted nothing more than to feel more of him, harder, closer. "So soft, so good. Dani."
He felt so good. Hard and deep. She needed more. Dani rocked her hips against his, inviting another plunge of his hips. "More, Charlie," His arms shifted under her back, bracing both of them for the rhythm of his body into hers. Blue eyes stayed locked on hers with every thrust of their hips, watching her response, making tiny changes until… "Oh, damn, Charlie!"
He smiled against her lips as her body arched helplessly in his arms. Every move of his hips ran an electric pulse along nerves she didn't even know she had. His shoulders moved under the grip of her nails, his hands held her in place for each plunge. His voice rasped low and harsh against her lips. "There you are, Dani," She felt instead of saw his smile, but that's what happens when your eyes roll back in your head. //Oh, fuck, yes, Charlie,// Every hard inch of him plunged even deeper and harder while her body trembled and clenched helplessly in his arms. "I've got you, my Dani. Give it to me."
Another second or two and she'd give him anything he wanted if he just kept doing exactly this. But speaking, well, Charlie had made sure she couldn't get out any real words right now. Dani dragged those teasing lips to hers and tried to say yes with a kiss. Weakly, she got her eyes back to his face and dug her nails hard into his back. His low groan at the scratch came with an extra little arch and twist of his hips, forcing air from her lungs. "Charlie,"
So he liked her nails, huh… Dani scrabbled for the tiniest bit of control before Charlie shoved her right over the edge. He was going to feel as good as he was making her feel if she had anything to do about it. Dani licked a line down his throat and sank all her nails into the flexing muscles of his back. "Dani, yes," //That's it, Charlie, just a little more.// She found his pulse with the tip of her tongue and gently bit into his skin to the low shout of her name and the driving thrust of his hips. //I've got you, my Charlie. Give it to me.//

He had her right where he wanted her. Dani was naked in his arms and holding him deep inside the heart of her. She was soft, wet, hot, and taking every inch of him closer, deeper. His partner was wrapped around every inch of skin that was obsessed with feeling more of her. Dani held him tight with every beautiful inch of her body. And he loved it. He loved the way she moved under him. He loved the sharp bite of her nails in his back and the gorgeous sound of her voice helplessly calling his name. He loved that he was the one who could make this amazing woman fall apart around him.
Charlie watched those beautiful eyes until he could feel in every inch of her body that the angle was perfect. He watched her eyes fall closed and went willingly into the kiss she offered. Then his inventive little Dani locked her eyes to his and dug her nails into his back. The delicious pain of it drove his hips harder into hers, delicious pleasure firing along his every nerve. "Charlie,"
Her voice and the feel of her smile against his lips let him know that something was coming. God he loved the way her mind worked. This time it was no accident. Dani kissed and licked her way down his throat and dug her nails into the sensitive nerves near the base of his spine. She owned him, every inch, even his voice. "Dani, yes," Then she decided to really blow his mind. A soft kiss over his pulse was followed by a quick but careful bite. Helplessly shouting her name, Charlie fought off climax with the last tiny shred of his restraint.
Catching her wrists, he twined their fingers together and pinned her arms to the mattress. One more bite of her nails and he'd shatter without her. And damn if that was going to happen. Charlie wanted more than anything to feel her release ricochet through every beautiful inch of her body. He pressed a desperate kiss to her lips and plunged deeper into her heat. "Charlie, so close, please,"
//Good, me too.// "Right here, Dani, with me." He felt it coming, in the tightening and trembling of every muscle in her body. She was on the edge, ready to tip over and take him with her. Her hands clenched around his, her body arching into every move of his hips. //So good, so close.// Charlie braced his elbows by her ribs and plunged every inch of himself deeper, watching her eyes flutter and hearing her sweet moan. "Right here, sweetheart, just breathe."
He leaned in for the taste of her kiss, just then the explosion swept through them both in a swirl of mingled energy. Charlie treasured this moment in time, feeding his soul on the feel of his precious Dani climaxing in his arms, calling out his name, and clinging to him with every inch of her body.
Time stopped. He didn't really know for how long. When Charlie could think again, he found himself still holding both her hands and breathing hard against the line of her neck. Dani was holding on tight and fighting for breath against his hair. Everything was right in the universe, right here, right now in her arms. And no force in the world was ever going to take her from him again. "Dani," Wrapping both arms tight around her ribs, Charlie rolled to his back but kept her tight against his chest. "Dani," His fingers slid along her jaw, tilting her head up to get her eyes on his. He'd never seen anything in his life as beautiful as the look on her face. It gave him courage. "Dani, I need you with me. I want you with me. Stay, please."
Dani smiled, leaned forward, and gave him a soft, sweet kiss. Her hand slid along his jaw to run through his hair. "Charlie. I need you and want you too. And if you ever try to leave me by pulling a stupid, dangerous stunt like you did today, you won't get off with just a couple punches. No dying on me, okay, Charlie?"
Something inside him finally relaxed, the part that had clenched tighter than a fist when he first watched the tape of her. She was worried about him dying. Charlie cupped her face in his hands and made her meet his eyes. "Dani, you never get kidnapped and held by a sociopath again, and I won't do anything dangerous to get you back. All you have to do to keep me from any 'stupid, dangerous stunts' is never scare me like that again."
Her body relaxed over his, apparently he'd scared her today too. "I'll do my best. Now shut up and kiss me." Charlie wrapped her hair around his fingers and took the kiss she offered. He adored the feel of her skin against all of his, her lips opening over his. She tasted like heaven, nirvana, like the first taste of fresh fruit after twelve years inside. He needed this, only this, every day he was above ground. Always. Charlie could never, would never let her go now.
And by the grip of her arms around him and the melting of her body over his, he wasn't going to get any resistance from her about it. //That's my Dani,// Holding her tighter, Charlie buried himself in her kiss and the gentle stroke of her fingers.
Now she was finally close enough and he was keeping her right here as long as he could.
