“At what—exactly?” he purred against her skin.

“At satisfying me. At making me come.”

With a growl, he climbed onto her, his mouth drifting down from her neck to cover her breasts in kisses and nips as his hands ran along her waist. She groaned under his lips and hands, her head rolling backward.

“You drive me—absolutely—mad…” She abandoned her efforts to speak, overwhelmed by the heat of desire as he nibbled the swell of her breast.

After a few moments, he lifted his face just slightly. “I may have left a bit of a mark there.”

“Leave them everywhere.”

Luke chuckled and continued, and she moaned and twisted beneath him, her chest aching from her panting and from the pleasure of his mouth.

“Luke...”

His hands slid down her waist to rub her hips, and she lifted them toward him. He slipped a hand between her legs. She bit the inside of her cheek hard as he stroked her slowly before starting to rub her clit. When she dragged her fingernails down his back hard, he let out a groan.

“You know,” he muttered, “I have a promise to keep...” He kissed down her stomach slowly, taking extra time as he neared her hips. She twisted beneath his lips, holding to him tightly.

“Mm—please?”

“Please what? Tell me.”

“Your mouth… please…”

“Of course.” He shifted her legs onto his shoulders and buried his face between her thighs. She moaned, the sound loud and full of lust as her hands twisted into his hair and his tongue worked within her. He let out a low, dark laugh, and the sound sent vibrations pulsing through her that threatened her sanity.

“Feels—so good—” Her hands tightened in his hair.

Luke pulled his tongue back long enough to speak. “Good,” he said, employing the low, rough voice that had always shot straight through her. “You taste so good.”

He resumed the work of his mouth, and Rose couldn’t hold back the lust-drenched noises rolling from her throat. She loved how easily he could do this to her—could reduce her to a panting, writhing mess, wringing her hands in his hair with her feet skimming along his back as her legs worked to release some of her pent-up energy. She came quickly and with a sharp, satisfied moan. He traced her with his tongue and then lifted his face as he shifted her legs back onto the bed. He kissed up her stomach, and she reached for his shoulders with trembling hands. She dug her nails into his skin.

Luke let out a hiss and watched her face with darkened eyes as he leaned up to kiss her lips. She kissed him back hungrily and pulled him closer. Her mind was still in a fog from the pleasure of his mouth, but she felt the hardness of his cock against her thigh, and a ripple of white-hot excitement shot through her. It was clear that he’d missed her every bit as much as she’d missed him, and neither of them could get enough.

“I’m ready for you,” she groaned.

“Are you?” He brushed his fingers over her opening and slipped one into her as he nipped at her neck.

She bit her lip to stifle a groan. “Yes!”

He growled against her skin and removed his finger before sliding into her. “Mmh... Rose...” He grunted and began to thrust once more.

She clung to his shoulders, her heart hammering from exertion as she rocked up toward him. His pace increased with each thrust, and she clung to him tightly, leaning up to kiss along his throat as he moved and pulsed within her. Sweat clung to her skin, and she felt it slicking his back.

Her thighs squeezed him as, after minutes, she felt herself about to break, and at last, she slipped over the edge. Her hands wrung his shoulders as her body quaked and pleasure coursed through her entire being. Luke spilled within her with a groan of her name, and Rose caressed his back as she lay still and struggled to breathe.

“I love you,” she said softly.

“I love you.”

The words washed over and enveloped her. He still loved her. Finally, everything felt right. He brought his lips to hers, and this time, his kiss was overwhelmingly tender. She slid her arms around him and kissed him back.

Chapter Eleven

“Luke? Hello?”

He sat up slowly, his tired mind attempting to process where the voice was coming from. Rose was still asleep beside him, her face peaceful and her hair forming a strawberry-blond halo on her pillow.
