“Ian?”
She saw him sigh as he turned to face her.
“Don’t, Eden.”
“Don’t what? Talk to you?”
“Well, that would be a good start. You need to stay away from me. In four days, you’ll be gone. So, just go to your cabin.”
“Ian—”
“Just go, Eden. Please.” He climbed into his truck, started it, and drove off.
Tears rolled down her face as she watched him go.
Saturday evening, she packed her clothes, and cried the entire time. It was killing her to go, but she didn’t have a choice. She knew she was going to miss him so very much.
After changing into a soft, worn T-shirt and comfortable lounge pants, she padded barefoot to the living room and turned on a movie. The sound of dialogue and music filled the room as she sank into the plush cushions of the sofa. Lost in the story on screen, she was startled when a loud knock sounded on the door. Jumping up from her seat, she cautiously made her way to the door, and curiosity mingled with apprehension coursing through her.
Peering from behind the curtain beside the door, she gasped when she saw Ian standing there, his muscular frame silhouetted against the moonlit night. Her heart fluttered in her chest as she placed her forehead against the cool wood of the door. Why was he here? Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she opened the door, and her heart slammed into her ribs as she looked at the one man she’d always love.
“Ian? What are you doing here?” she asked, voice barely above a whisper.
His eyes searched hers for a moment before answering. “I’m sorry about Wednesday, but I wanted to see you before you left tomorrow. I can go.”
“No, it’s fine. Come inside.”
He stepped into the cabin and removed hishat, glancing around at the familiar surroundings. She couldn’t help but notice his lips tighten at the sight of her packed suitcases by the door.
“Packed and ready to go, huh?” he commented, and she could hear the hurt in his voice.
“Uh, yes.” Her throat felt tight as she tried to push down the emotions threatening to spill over. “Would you like something to drink?”
He shook his head, stepping closer until they were only inches apart. Cupping her cheek in his hand, he gazed into her eyes with such intensity that it took her breath away.
“All I want is you, for one last time,” he murmured, his words sending shivers down her spine.
A tear slipped down her cheek, and she closed her eyes, trying to block out the pain. But all resistance melted away when she felt him pull her into his arms. She took his hat from his hands and placed it on the sofa before leading him to the bedroom. It was wrong. She knew it. But she wanted this last night with him, something to hold onto when she left him.
In the dim light of the bedroom, she stared into his handsome face and did all she could not to cry. He put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer, their bodies pressed together in a familiar embrace. Then, without a word, he placed his lips over hers and kissed her with such tenderness and love that it brought tears to her eyes. Eden wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with every ounce of passion and longing in her heart, savoring everymoment of their final encounter.
Ian picked her up, placed her on the bed, and lay beside her. His hand slid under her T-shirt, up to her breast, and cupped her naked breast in his hand. He moved his hand back down to the hem of her shirt, rolled it up, and tugged it over her head, and let it fall to the floor. He lowered his head and placed his lips over her nipple and sucked it deep into his mouth. She fisted her hands in his hair.
She glided her fingers down his back and tugged his T-shirt from his jeans, then lifted it over his head, and tossed it to the floor, then she scraped her nails down his chest, to the buckle of his belt. After unhooking it, she unsnapped his jeans, lowered the zipper, and slid her hand inside his boxer briefs to wrap her fingers around his hard cock. She squeezed her hand around it, making him groan.
He rolled away from her and stood. He toed off his boots, removed his socks, shucked his jeans and underwear, and then pulled her lounge pants off, and dropped them to the floor.
“Commando?” He lay beside her again.
“I just took a bath,” she murmured and mentally shook her head.What a stupid answer!
Ian reached over to the side of the bed, removed his wallet from his jeans, and got a condom out and handed it to her. As she stared into his eyes, she ripped the packet open, removed the condom, and slowly rolled it down over him. She watched his jaw clench as he tried to calm himself.
“I need you so much, Eden.”
“I need you too.”
He trailed his fingers along her inner thigh, sending shivers up her spine. She couldn’t help but squirm as he teased and explored her.
