“I wish we could stay right here and hold each other, shut out the rest of the world. What about you?” She toyed with the string at his collar. Maybe it was being here with Nico, the excitement of the fireworks, and the soft breeze lifting his hair off his collar, but it felt like nothing bad could happen.

“I wish I could make love to you right here at this tree under the stars with the backdrop of fireworks,” he said close to her ear.

Her heart swelled with the romance of the idea. A soft hum of need prickled beneath her skin. Nico could worship her body and stimulate her mind. And then it hit her with the force of a shooting star.How much I love Nico.The thought made her breathe too hard. Terror overshadowed her joy. Her time with him was almost coming to an end. Her world turned on its axis. She swayed on her feet.

He caught her around the waist. “Whoa, steady there. Are you okay?”

“It must be all the excitement. I got dizzy for a moment.”

“Hold onto me. I won’t let you fall.”

Happy tears pricked at her eyes. “Make love to me, Nico, right here under the stars. I can’t think of anything more romantic.” Loving him might be the scariest thing she’d ever done.

His face lit up as bright as the blasts exploding all around them. He didn’t answer her with words. Bending his head, he kissed her, long and deep. His tongue tangled with hers in lush, velvety strokes. The kiss raged on, wet and searing hot. Then Brooke was drowning in heat and taste infused from the past.

Could they have been touched by destiny?

When his hand trailed up her thigh and reached under her skirt to her panties, she gasped. He pulled the lace aside and pushed his finger into her aching core. The pad of his thumb massaged her clit, adding the perfect amount of pressure. Her head fell back on a moan.

“You’re so soft and already wet for me.” The raw need in his voice ignited her passion.

“I want you, Nico.” Sweat misted on her skin from his touch and the humid night air. Her sex rippled beneath his stroking fingers, pushing her to orgasm.

“I’ve got to get you ready first.” He gave her a look that promised sinful things to come. He added a second finger and rubbed back and forth. Flames of heat licked across her sensitized flesh. Her whole body trembled with need when he pulled his fingers out and slowly thrust them back into her, circling her clit in a steady, mindless rhythm. Tiny explosions of pleasure erupted under her skin.

Her back bowed against the tree. Panting hard, she lifted her hips against the onslaught of pleasure cresting over her, ignoring the fact that her skirt bunched up to her waist. Her core tightened as her climax raced over her, leaving her breathless.

“I want to take those tragic memories and turn them into something beautiful.” His sweet words tightened her chest. The way he looked at her made her feel special, sexy, and wanted in the most exquisite way. She soaked up every detail of this moment and locked it away to cherish forever.

Bursts of color continued to saturate the sky and mingled with the magic of the night. She reached for him, stroking his erection through his jeans. Together, they undid his belt buckle, and she freed his cock from the waistband of his boxer-briefs. He grew rock hard in her hand as she rubbed him from base to tip and back again.

“I want to be buried deep inside you, but I don’t have a condom,” he said in a hoarse voice and pressed his forehead to hers.

“It’s okay. I trust you, and I’m on the pill.” Her body hummed and softened as it molded to his.

“The best wishes really do come true,” he groaned. “I can’t wait to feel you skin to skin with no barrier between us. I’m beginning to believe in this tree legend after all.”

“I told you.” She smiled as tenderness warmed her heart.

“I don’t want the bark to rub against your back.” Before she could protest, in one quick move, he switched their positions, so he leaned against the tree.

Her body was strung tight. She needed all of him—his cock, his fingers, and his mouth.

After he helped her step out of her panties, he shoved them in the front pocket of his shirt. He scooted himself down so their bodies aligned, and then he pulled his cape around them. “I knew this damn thing would come in handy for something.”

She laughed, and rubbed up against him, breathing hard. “I need you.” Their hips bumped and she gasped. He lifted her leg and then in one deep thrust, he slid inside her, bursting through her, stripping her of thought.

He moved back and forth, slow and sensual, filling every inch of her, making her forget the rest of the world existed. His tall frame trembled as every searing inch of him filled her.

The way he gazed into her eyes, breathing the same air, got her heart hammering away in her chest. Only a man as sensual as Nico could satisfy her deepest desires, and feed her soul. She loved every minute of their lovemaking. She never imagined sex could be like this.

“You’re mine.” Picking up the pace, he slid in deeper, growing thicker. This felt like a claiming, a merging of the souls. The way his eyes darkened with need and affection broke through her last remaining barrier. Tears burned in her eyes as they moved together, in tune to each other’s bodies.

Brooke wanted to stay locked in the passion of his embrace and not think about the future. No matter how much she wished for a forever with Nico, their relationship could only be ephemeral.

“You feel so good.” His cock rubbed over her clit over and over again, driving her out of her mind.

“Jesus, Brooke, you own me.”
