Prologue
River
It was three in the morning, and I was beyond exhausted after working nonstop for the past eight hours. I dragged myself to the bedroom as I raked a hand over my hair before stepping inside.
Darkness greeted me.
Adjusting my sight, I took a few steps before reaching the foot of the bed, eyes gazing down at the mattress. Exhaustion faded away, awakening my body to a new state of consciousness.
There she was, sleeping peacefully and gloriously naked. The moon filtered through the french windows, highlighting her gorgeous features.
My eyes appreciatively roved over her silky skin, her lush curves, sketching her with my ravenous eyes, committing her to memory. Like an artist would his muse, I lavished on her beautiful body.
She’s mine again.
Two years of absence. A gaping dark hole that could only be satiated when I had drowned myself to escape the demons that lurked in my mind. Two years of battling this soul-sucking energy, and I had all but given up … until she showed up at my place, stopping me from committing the biggest mistake of my life. Then the void was gone. The demons retreated back to Hell. She was back … and I was fine again.
I had never been happier, never been so complete, until she came back into my life. She was the drug I needed to survive. She, alone, could make me feel wholly complete. Cara and a guitar was all I required in life.
I’m going to love her. Love her so fucking hard until she’s get sick of it. I’m going to show her how good we are together. That way, she won’t run away and shut me out of her life again.
Rounding to her side of the bed, I sat on the side of her hips, intently gazing down at her, famished to taste her on my tongue. With the back of my hand, I traced the soft, dewy skin of her cheek, trailing down to the curve of her breast, then into the sacred spot I worshipped every night.
“Beautiful,” I murmured when slickness met my finger.
A soft moan escaped her lips as she gradually parted her thighs, as if she was unconsciously sensing my need for her.
Perfect.
