This doesn’t end well

From Liars in Love (1981) by Richard Yates

Christine and Warren managed to make an early escape, under Grace Arnold's winking smile, and as soon as the bedroom door was shut they were clasped and writhing and breathing heavily, eager and solemn in lust. The shedding of their clothes took no time at all but seemed a terrible hindrance and delay; then they were deep in bed and reveling in each ther, and then they were joined again.

"Oh, Warren," she said. "Oh, God. Oh, Warren. Oh, I love you."  

And he heard himself saying more than once, more times than he cared to believe or remember, that he loved her too.
