“Ridge,” I breathed, my resolve crumbling under the weight of his stare. The warmth of his hand on my cheek made my skin tingle, and I found myself craving more of his touch. It was as if all logic and reason was slipping away, leaving only raw emotion in its wake.
“Tori,” he whispered, his voice barely audible. “I can’t fight this anymore.”
My hands found their way to Ridge’s chest, his skin warm beneath my fingertips. I pulled him closer, craving his touch like a parched wanderer craved water in the desert. Each beat of his heart synchronized with mine.
“Neither can I,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.
We stood there for a moment, our breaths mingling, our bodies inches apart. It was as if time had stopped, allowing us this one stolen moment before reality crashed back down around us.
“Are you sure?” Ridge asked uncertainly. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Ridge, I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life,” I replied, the truth of my words resonating deep within me. “We’ve fought too hard to get here. I won’t let fear hold us back any longer.”
“Then let’s not waste another moment.”
The moment Ridge’s lips met mine, it was as if a dam burst within me. Passion ignited, sending a current of electricity coursing through my veins. Our mouths moved in perfect sync—a dance that seemed to have been choreographed just forus. Heat radiated from his body, fueling the fire that burned between us.
“Ridge,” I gasped, breaking the kiss just long enough to catch my breath. His eyes locked onto mine, the intensity of his gaze making my heart race even faster.
“Tell me what you want, Tori,” he whispered, his voice laced with urgency. He was struggling to maintain control, the primal force of his desire threatening to consume him.
“You. I want all of you.”
As if my words were a catalyst, Ridge’s restraint crumbled. His hands roamed over my body, his touch both gentle and possessive. He seemed determined to learn every curve and contour, his fingertips leaving trails of fire in their wake.
“God, Tori,” Ridge groaned. “I’ve never wanted anyone like this before.”
“Neither have I,” I admitted, my voice barely audible above the pounding of my heart. The world beyond the confines of our embrace faded away, leaving only the two of us and the unbreakable bond that had formed between us.
My hands found their way to Ridge’s broad shoulders, feeling the hard planes of his muscles beneath my fingers. I couldn’t get enough of him. Every inch of his body called out to me, beckoning me to explore further.
“Is this okay?” I asked, my voice thick with desire.
“More than okay,” Ridge replied, his breathing ragged. “It’s…incredible.”
Emboldened, I continued my exploration. My hands slid down his chest, feeling the powerful muscles that rippled beneath his skin. I marveled at the contrast between the strength of his body and his gentle touch as he cradled me in his arms.
“Ridge,” I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. “I love you.”
“I love you too, Tori,” he said, his voice filled with wonder. “More than I ever thought possible.”
“Show me,” I urged, my hands gripping his biceps as I pulled him closer. “Make me feel it.”
He gripped my waist firmly as he pulled me flush against him. Our bodies melded together like two puzzle pieces, a perfect fit that sent shivers of excitement racing through my veins.
“God, Tori,” Ridge groaned, our kisses growing more urgent, fueled by the fire that burned within us.
My fingers tangled in his thick, dark hair, clutching at him as if he were the only thing tethering me to reality. Our rhythm intensified, our movements fluid and seamless as we surrendered to the passion.
“Ridge, I...” Words failed me, my mind struggling to form coherent thoughts amid the swirling torrent of emotions that engulfed me.
“Shhh,” Ridge soothed, his lips never leaving mine as he continued to explore the depths of my desire. “It’s okay, Tori. Just let go.”
As we moved together, I reflected on the challenges we’d faced. The danger we’d fought against, the prejudices we’d overcome, and the love that had persevered through it all. In this moment, it was just Ridge and me, our hearts beating in sync, our souls intertwined.
“Ridge,” I whimpered, my grip on his hair tightening as our bodies danced in perfect harmony. “Promise me...promise me this will never end.”
“Never, Tori,” he swore, his eyes locking onto mine with a fierce intensity I’d never seen before. “We’ll fight against anything that tries to tear us apart. You and me, Tori. Always.”
