Threehours, two orgasms and one steamy shower later, they lay inHazel’sbed, arms and legs entwined lazily.Adamfelt as though he was glowing from the inside out.Asthough he’d swallowed the sun.Hedidn’t know that this kind of happiness—whole and consuming and life-giving—was possible.
Butit was.
“I’vebeen thinking about something,” he said, stroking a hand lazily up and down her bare back.
Shetrailed her fingers down his chest, smiling sleepily. “Thatbreakfast you promised me?”
Helaughed. “Obviously, yes.Butno, that’s not whatI’mtalking about right at this moment.”
“Areyou sure?” she asked, sliding her hand between them and cupping him.Hewas totally spent, but he still grew half-hard under her touch.
Helaughed, and then tipped her chin up, meeting her eyes. “I’vebeen thinking about how utterly and completelyIlove you.”
Hereyes sparkled at him as a soft smile spread across her face. “Funny,I’vebeen thinking the same thing.”Sheleaned forward and kissed him gently. “Ilove you,AdamShephard.
“Ilove waking up to you in my bed.Ilove writing with you.Ilove telling you every insane thought that crosses my mind.Ilove being inside you and watching you think and the sound of your laugh.Ilove your beautiful smile and your ridiculously gorgeous body.Iam totally addicted to you,HazelWoodward.”
Shescraped her fingers through his hair. “Ilove being with you in your cabin.Ilove your family.Ilove the story we’re creating.Ilove your dirty mouth and your curls and your muscles.Ilove that you see me for me.Ilove laughing with you and falling asleep in your arms every night.Ifyou’re an addict, so amI,AdamShephard.”
“So, whatIwas thinking was…”Hetrailed off, gauging her reaction. “Thatyou should move in with me.Sinceyou’re moving toGossamerFalls, you should move in with me.”
Herexpression went soft, but her arms and legs tightened around him. “Areyou sure?”
“Completely.”
“Then, yes.Absolutely, unequivocally, yes.”
Fireworksburst inside him as he kissed her, and she flung her leg over his hip.He’dthought he was spent, but knowing thatHazelloved him, that she was staying, moving in, that she was his and he was hers made him want her all over again.Heslid a hand between her legs, finding her slick and hot.
“Areyou sore?” he asked, and she shook her head.
“Ineed you right now.Ilove you andIneed you.”
“Iwill never get enough of hearing you say that,” he said, stroking his fingers gently over her clit.
“Ilove you,Ilove you,Ilove you,” she said, opening her legs wider for him.Hismouth crashed into hers, a tangle of tongues and lips, hungry and eager, but also so, so sweet.Witha sudden movement, she was straddling him and sinking down onto his cock, engulfing him in wet heat that had his eyes rolling back in his head.Sheslid all the way down, taking him deep, and he trailed his fingers over her breasts, her nipples, her arms, her neck.
“Ilove you,” he said.Itwas as though he’d undammed a river of emotion, and now that he’d said it, that he loved her, he couldn’t stop.Hedidn’t want to stop.Ever.
Sheinhaled a shaky breath, her eyes bright. “Ilove you,” she echoed.Sheleaned forward, her breasts pressing deliciously against his chest as she started to move her hips in a slow, sensuous circle.Shekissed him, sweet and thorough.Whenshe lifted her head, their eyes met, and it was like a bolt of lightning passed through him.
Hazelwas his.Forever, if he had anything to say about it.
Hegripped her hips, working her up and down his cock.Thestrokes started out slow, almost lazy, but then grew rougher as need spiraled between them.Whenshe came, moaning his name, pussy fluttering around him, he held her tight against him, following her over the edge.
