“Those women aren’t you, Julia. Those men aren’tme.”
She nodded. “It’s just hard to letgo.”
“We’re all scared. Every one of us. But Julia…” He shook his head. “I won’t settle for part of you. I can’t. Not when I’m giving youeverything.”
“I want to give you everything too.” There were other words stuck in her throat, words she’d wanted to say since her conversation with Nick, words she’d wanted to say since long before that, but this was all she could manage. “I’m just I’m not sure how to doit.”
He pulled her into his arms and looked down at her. “Just letgo.”
His voice was hoarse and he lowered his mouth to hers, sweeping her into a kiss with so much urgency it stole her breath. It was a kiss that said he was done waiting, a kiss that said he’d burn down anything between them with the force of hislove.
She slid her arms around his neck and pressed her body against his, molding herself to every sculpted peak and valley until there was no space for anythingelse.
By the time she broke away, she was on fire, heat radiating outward from her belly, her underwear wet with her desire, her body clamoring for him to fillher.
“Take me to bed,Ronan.”
He pulled her against his side and hurried up thebeach.
There was peace insurrender.

The house wasquiet when they returned, everyone else still at the restaurant on the beach. His hands were roaming her body before he’d even closed the door behindthem.
A breeze blew through the open terrace doors as they made their way through the house, their kisses growing more frenzied as they crossed the living room and made their way down the hall to the room that was theirs while they were inGreece.
There was no tenderness in his kiss. He’d used up all his tenderness in the months she’d been withholding from him, the months he’d done everything in his power to get her to letgo.
Now all he had was his hunger forher.
They were on the threshold to the bedroom when she reached for the hem of his T-shirt. She pulled it over his head, her fingers traveling over his chest as he unfastened the buttons of her blouse, kissing his way across her silky shoulder as he slid the fabric off herarms.
She smelled like coconut, vanilla, and the sea and he inhaled her scent like it might be the one thing to savehim.
The room was bathed in moonlight, the sheer curtains billowing around the open doors. He cradled her face in his hands as he led her to thebed.
“Nothing between us this time,Julia.”
He knelt at her feet and unbuttoned her jeans, then slid them from her legs along with her underwear. She stepped out of them and he looked up at her body, a refuge from everything ugly in theworld.
She was the most beautiful thing he’d everseen.
He kissed his way up the inside of her thigh, letting his lips sink into the plush flesh, inhaling the musky scent of her sex as he drew closer to the cleft between herthighs.
She sighed and slipped her hands into hishair.
“You thought I wouldn’t know,” he murmured, closing his mouth over her sex through the thin fabric of her panties. “You thought it was enough to give me yourbody.”
She gasped. “Yes.”
His cock strained against the confines of his jeans, begging for herparadise.
“No more,” he said softly, pulling her underwearaside.
He ran his tongue through her soaking folds and his shaft got harder still as she let out a longmoan.
He lifted his face from her pussy and her fingers tightened in his hair. The sensation sent a powerful surge of desire to the tip of his cock. “Tell me there will never be anything between usagain.”
