His lips trailed down her jaw, her throat, kissing the dip at the bottom revealed by her open neck blouse. Her nipples tightened at the warmth of his mouth. At the promise it gave her.
She scratched his scalp with her fingernails and he groaned, his own hold on her tightening. His length was thick and needy against her. How had she lived for a week without this? How could she even live for a day?
“I’ve missed this,” he muttered, unbuttoning her blouse. She was wearing her favorite lingerie. Just for him.
A celebration that they were back together.
“Are you trying to kill me?” he asked hoarsely.
“Just reminding you what you’ve been missing.” She closed her eyes as he cupped her breast, his hands warm and strong against her sensitive skin. His thumb brushed her nipple and she let out a sigh.
His lips curled as he slid his hand inside the lace fabric, pinching her nipple until she cried out.
Then he kissed her again. “I feel like the sun just came out,” she told him.
Michael blinked, still holding her tight. “Hasn’t it been out for weeks?”
“Not here.” She put her hand over his, moving it to the center of her chest. Her heart beat strong against his palm. “It’s been dark here.”
“It won’t be again,” he promised.
“I know.” She nodded. “I know. Now take me upstairs and show me just how much you’ve missed me.”
He grinned. “I thought you’d never ask.”

He’d never tire of this woman. Never be anything less than amazed by how perfectly their bodies fit together. How it felt like a tiny piece of heaven was winding around them every time he slid inside of her.
She was perfect, her hair fanning out on her pillow, her eyes wide and piercing as she gazed at his face. He’d spent the last thirty minutes teasing her, making her ready, making her beg. And now he was the one trying not to come, reciting the damn alphabet backward because it had been too long and she felt too good. She had this effect on him every time.
She tightened around him and he muttered a curse, because he was on a hair trigger here.
As soon as he and Richard told the staff that the sale would go through in the next few weeks, a feeling of peace had enveloped him. It was as though he’d been fighting an invisible enemy for all these years, but now he could finally stop and breathe.
It was only when he was on the plane, taxiing along the runway at Heathrow Airport, that he realized how true that feeling was.
And that the enemy he’d been fighting was himself.
He’d spent a lifetime thinking he wasn’t good enough.
Not good enough for his dad to stay faithful to his mom. Not good enough for his mom, who deserved way more than a surly teenager for a son. Not good enough to play in the NFL and not good enough to keep a marriage going.
The stupid thing was, he damn sure wasn’t good enough for Grace. And yet here she was, whispering his name, telling him she loved him, digging her fingers into his ass as he did everything to make her feel good. She was tighter still, her nipples hard like pebbles against his chest, her mouth slack as she let out a low moan.
“I love you.”
The words were like a symphony cascading through his ears.
“I love you, too, beautiful.” More than she could ever know. He cupped her face, his hips still rocking, the pleasure coiling in him until he could resist it no more.
“Grace.” He dropped his head against hers, his gaze locking on her eyes as he spilled inside of her. She wrapped her legs around his hips, pulling him closer, and he was still coming. Pulsing inside of her until he wasn’t sure he had anything left to give. And then she was fluttering around him again, her third orgasm taking her by surprise. He slid his hands beneath her ass, holding her close as they kissed and murmured each other’s names until the pleasure finally ebbed into nothing.
Or everything.
“Oh God,” Grace whispered, as he slowly rolled off of her. “I don’t think I’ll ever walk again.”
“It’s okay. I’ll carry you everywhere,” he promised. He should get up, wash himself off, wash her. But he wasn’t sure he could walk either. Instead, he brushed the hair off her face as she nestled into him.
