Was it Gunner’s imagination, or had Razor emphasized the word “wife,” as though what she might want was more important than what Raketa wanted?
“What are you thinking about?” she asked.
“I thought you were asleep.”
She laughed. “You’re holding me very tight, Gunner.”
He relaxed his arm. “Sorry.”
“Tell me why.”
“Feeling possessive, I guess.”
Raketa turned to face him. “Why?”
Gunner cupped her cheek with his hand. “Because you matter to me, Rocket Girl.”
“You matter to me too,” she said, bringing her soft lips to his. “Now tell me why your arm turned to iron.”
“Razor and I talked about you on the flight back.”
“That’s hardly news.”
“He wants to arrange a meeting between you, Ava, and Aine.”
“I see,” she said, her eyes hooding.
“I told him it had to be your decision.”
She nodded. “Why does he want this?”
“The main reason is that he doesn’t want to have to lie to her.”
“What do you think?”
“I told you. It’s up to you. It isn’t something I would’ve suggested, but I did promise him that I’d at least bring it up.”
Raketa turned again so her back was to him. “I’ll think about it,” she murmured.
Gunner moved her hair so it draped over her shoulder, and kissed his way across her back.
“I can’t think when you do that.”
“You can think tomorrow,” he said, positioning himself so he could enter her from behind.
“Are you ready for me, Rocket Girl?” he asked before he pushed inside.
She kissed the hand that rested on her arm. “I’m always ready for you, lyubimaya moya.”
As he joined his body with hers, he hoped she meant the words she’d uttered. There was nothing he wanted more than to be her “love.”
—:—
As the man she knew she was destined to be with from the day their eyes first met moved inside her, Raketa was overcome by emotion. She’d called him her love because that’s what he was. He was the only man who ever would be.
Earlier, under the waterfall, their sex had been frantic, impassioned, hard, and fast. Now, he moved slowly, gently cupping her aching breasts with his hands, and scattering kisses wherever his lips could reach.
Each time they were together was better than the time before. He set every inch of her body on fire with his touch, whether hurried or slow, hard or soft, gentle or rough. She never imagined all the ways he could bring her to the brink of pleasure and then catch her as her body spiraled into a feeling she’d never known existed.
