My breath caught, and the tears finally spilled over as I looked up at him. His eyes were minemable, stay of the façade he wore for the world, leaving only the man who had waited for me

He didn’t wait for me to answer. He leaned down and captured my lips in a kiss.

His hands began to roam, one cupping the back of my neck while the other slid down the cone of my ge igniting fires everywhere he touched.

I pulled him closer, my fingers tangling in the messy strands of his hair as I kissed him back with desperate ferocity.

It was wild—teeth nipping at his lower lip, our tongues dancing in a rhythm that felt both brand new and achingly familiar.

He lifted me effortlessly, my weight nothing to him, and sat me on the kitchen counter.

The cold marble was a cold, biting shock against the back of my thighs as my dress rode up but the heat of his body pressing between my legs quickly chased the chill away.

He was hard and throbbing, his hands gripping my hips with a possessiveness that made my skin tingle

I wrapped my legs around his waist, locking my ankles behind his back to pull him even closer, our breaths coming in jagged, frantic gasps.

Seeing it there, a permanent map of the path he’d never stopped following stole the air from my lungs.

But the desire was a living thing now, overriding everything else as my nails raked lightly down his skin.

His mouth found me, his tongue circling and teeth grazing until I arched my back into him, a broken moan escaping my throat.

His hand slid beneath the fabric of my dress, his fingers teasing the lace edge of my panties before dipping in to find me already aching for him.

He stroked slowly, building a slow-burn tension, then faster, his thumb circling with a deliberate, expert pressure that had me gasping, my hips bucking against the marble.

My hands worked at his belt, freeing him until he was throbbing in my palm. The contact elicited a sharp hiss of air through his teeth.

He gently moved my hand, positioning himself as his eyes locked onto mine.

They were dark, clouded with lust, but underneath it all was a softness that made my heart ache.

“I love you,” he repeated, the vow a low rumble before he thrust deep, filling me completely.

I cried out, the sensation overwhelming; a delicious, searing burn of connection that made the world tilt.

He moved slowly at first, savoring the friction, each thrust deliberate and deep, hitting that exact spot that made stars burst behind my eyelids.

He didn’t pull away; he just held me there in the dark, as if he were finally afraid that if he let go, I might vanish again.

Eventually, he helped me down from the counter, his hands lingering on my waist until my feet hit the floor.

Our clothes were a wreck, and my skin felt flushed and sensitive, but the frenzy energy had settled into something deep and quiet.

He didn’t let go of my hand as he led me toward the bathroom.

The steam began to rise, curling against the mirror as the tub filled with hot water, bubbles foaming under th brass faucet.
