As I let my eyes travel up and down his exposed skin, I unconsciously lick my lower lip before taking it between my teeth.

He really is a work of art, even with the red, angry scar running along his side.

The heat between my legs kicks up a few notches. I blame the pregnancy hormones.

God, I’ve never been so ravenous in my life!

I thought I had it bad for him when we were on his island. Now, I could mount him every second of the day.

Tiero smirks at me, standing up from the sofa and pulling down his jeans and boxers in one go.

I sigh happily when his erection springs free. He takes it in his hand, tugging on it a few times, his eyes never leaving mine.

“You know you’re playing with fire,” I tell him. “You’ve got an extremely hormonal woman right here, and doing what you’re doing there…,” I point at his appendage and naked chest, “… It’s like waving a juicy piece of meat in front of a hungry lioness.”

His smirk and his erection grow… who knew that was possible? Both are already huge.

He pulls my leggings and panties off and unclasps my bra.

“Much better,” he murmurs as he takes one of my pert nipples into his mouth, sucking and licking it tenderly.

My blood heats, my pulse throbbing through every inch of my body.

He rolls on top of me, pinning me beneath him and gyrating his hips.

“Stop teasing me,” I plead.

Tiero’s eyes are smoldering and dark as he bends to kiss me, trailing soft kisses up to my ear and nibbling on my lobe.

“Now, I believe my wife-to-be is hungry. I better feed her…”

Epilogue - Aiden

It’sbeensevenweekssince I saw ‘Ella’s car’ explode into a ball of flames. It’s quite an apt analogy for our relationship.

The happiest period of my life was over just as quickly as it started.

Memories of her haunt me.

Whenever I close my eyes, I see her beautiful face smiling at me, feel her warmth when I held her in my arms, and relive that one earth-shattering kiss we shared.

Now there’s only a deep, gnawing emptiness inside me.

But I brought this all upon myself.

I did what I thought would make Ella happiest.

Would I have still acted the same way, had I known what life without her would be like? Utterly hopeless and alone?

God, how life can pivot in an instant.

And now, my old life is all packed up. I’ve said farewell to my closest friends, my mother, my sisters, my boss, my colleagues, my micro-brewery and collection of rare beers with them.

Goodbye to the old Aiden.

Geez. You really wouldn’t read about it.

I considered heading back to‘Mountain Breath’. I thought it could be good to overwinter there. A place where nature still has the upper hand. Where people will talk to you or leave you alone on instinct. And where the physical repetition of laborious tasks might soothe my tormented soul.
