He lifts me a little, so he’s eye level with my chest. A noise that can only be described as a purr comes from my throat as he wraps his lips around one of my nipples. I’m assaulted by so many sensations as the cold air wraps around me, but his hot breath fans over my breasts as he moves from one nipple to another.

He releases my breast with a husky groan of need, pulling me back down fully onto his lap. Our lips tangle in a messy kiss as the passion between us deepens. He tugs the strings holding my bottoms, untying and tossing them to the side of the hot tub. I grind my hips down against the erection tenting his trunks, biting my lip at the delicious friction between us.

His hand snakes between us as he delicately runs his fingers up and down my slit. His gentle and teasing touch makes me whimper with need. He slips a finger into my folds circling my clit with expert precision. I pant with greedy desire as he increases the tempo of his fingers and slides one into me. He strokes my walls until he finds my g-spot.

A cry escapes my mouth as he increases the speed of his thumb on my clit and the pressure inside me. My entire body warms with the impending climax. My toes curl as my muscles tense as I’m driven closer to the pinnacle.

“Look at me, Liv,” he rasps.

I pull back just enough to look in his eyes which look almost completely black now. The orgasm crashes over me in waves, my fingers dig into his shoulder. I ride his hand through it. As soon as I go limp in his arms, he’s turning off the fire element and jets and standing with me naked in his arms.

I wrap my legs around his waist as he quickly carries me into the house and down the hall to his bedroom. The only light comes from the open curtains, the starry night reflecting down on the snow. He pulls the covers off before setting me down in the bed. He strips his shorts off, his thick cock bounces free.

I move to the edge of the bed and wrap my hand around him. His cock twitches in my palm as I circle my thumb over his tip. His chest rumbles as I tighten my grip and stroke his length. Our lips crash together in a desperate kiss, his breath catching as I increase my speed. He groans against my lips, removing my hand from his cock.

“I need to be inside you, Olivia.” He reaches into the nightstand and grabs a condom. “Are you sure this is okay?” He asks as he rolls it on and positions himself above me. “I want you, but I can wait if you aren’t ready.”

“I want this.” I shift to feel his dick at my entrance. “I want you, Lake.”

With those words, he glides into my wet heat. My walls tremble around him as he gives me a second to adjust to him. He pushes further with a rough groan.

“Fuck,” he murmurs as he pulls out and thrusts back in. He keeps a steady pace, working me into a frenzy.

I wrap my legs around him, my heels digging into his ass as he goes harder. A bead of sweat from his temple falls onto my lips, and I lick it off, savoring every part of him. He worships me with his cock, with his hands, and with his lips. But his eyes are what undo me. When he locks them on mine, I feel every single one of his emotions. There’s passion and desire, need, and comfort. There’s also anger but fueling it all is a love that never wavered.

He shifts his hips, hitting me at just the right angle to send me careening into a vortex of pleasure. He moans into my neck as my walls clench around him, trembling with release. I feel him surge inside me as he comes, his hand holding my hip in place as he finishes.

He collapses to my side, rolling me so we stay molded together. We look at each other, expressing all the things we feel without words. I nestle my head against his chest and listen to his heartbeat slow to a normal resting rate. The steady thump against my ear lulls me into a peaceful sleep.

OLIVIA

The bed isempty but still warm when I wake the next morning. The only sound is the shower running in the bathroom. I decide to lay here until Lake comes out. Turning my head to the side, I breathe in his smoky amber scent from the pillow.

The walls of his room are covered in photos of his family and their home down in Costa Rica. I smile at a picture of the guys with Lake’s sister that had to have been taken here somewhat recently. They’re standing in front of the fireplace at Christmas wearing ugly sweaters. A bittersweet feeling fills my chest at the thought of how many memories they’ve made since I left. I’m glad they had each other, but it shines a light on how alone I’ve truly been.

“That was from this past Christmas,” Lake says. “River joined us for the holidays because Mom and Dad were traveling.”

I smile over my shoulder at him in spite of the hollow ache in my chest. “Looks like you had fun.”

“We did.”

I move to sit up, grabbing the sheet to cover me. I don’t have any clothes in this room to slip on. I start to stand, still clutching the sheet to my chest when he grabs it.

“You don’t have to hide from me, Liv.”

“I know.” I tuck a few loose strands of hair behind my ear while I look away from him. “I’m not used to being naked without hearing insults.”

When I look up, I see the conflict written on his face. “I’m not going to push you.” He steps toward me and wraps his hand around the back of my neck, tilting my head back for close and direct eye contact. “You are fucking perfect. You always have been, and you always will be.” The ferocity of his words is matched by the intensity of his eyes.

I swallow and nod when he lets me go. My eyes lower to the floor but catch on the scars across his side. Pink, puckered flesh marrs the whole expanse of the left side of his torso. I remember feeling ridges there last night, but I didn’t realize it was this bad.

“What happened?” I ask as I run my fingers over the scars.

“I was shot,” he says, pointing at the biggest scar. “The rest are from shrapnel from the explosion that happened afterward.”

“Oh my God.” I look back at him. “I had no idea. Is this why you aren’t still serving?”
