He grabbed her backside and forced her to match his urgent rhythm, and she did. She rested her brow against his as they both concentrated on the passion that built like a raging storm inside them.
“Don’t stop; good Lord, Reeve, please don’t stop,” she begged.
His labored breathing didn’t allow a response. He rushed with her to the door to brace her back against it so that he would have more leverage to quicken their movements even more, and he did.
He drove into her again and again.
“Reeve,” she cried with bated breath.
“Let go,” he urged, and increased the tempo.
She let out a scream, and her legs tightened around him, her fingers digging into his arms. Her explosive climax forced his own, and a groan that he couldn’t stop erupted from deep in his chest and burst forth in a mighty roar.
They clung to each other, their bodies trembling from lingering ripples of pleasure. Reeve braced one hand to the door for support while his other hand held firm to her backside. Her head rested on his, and her arms lay draped over his shoulders.
He took a few deep breaths, then held her tight and carried her to the bed, following her down to lie beside her. When the heat of passion began to fade, and their bodies cooled, he pulled the blanket over them.
“That was the greatest morning greeting I have ever had,” he said with a chuckle.
“I wholeheartedly agree.” She sighed.
Reeve reached out and took hold of her hand, bringing it to his lips to kiss. “Your beauty is beyond words.”
She remained silent, and he turned his head to her. She was staring at him, her cheeks still flushed, her lips still plump, and her eyes soft lavender, the color speaking volumes to him though the hint of tears disturbed him.
“My words upset you?”
She shook her head and sniffled in an attempt to hold back the tears. “No. It is just that it has been so very long since anyone has told me that. And I didn’t realize how very much I have missed such loving words until hearing you say them with such sincerity again and again.”
“Who spoke of your beauty as I have?”
“Rory. He was a good man.”
“You still miss him?” He was glad that she didn’t hesitate to answer him.
“Not as I once did. I will keep the good memories he left me with, but it is you who now constantly fill my thoughts and dreams.”
He kissed her hand again. “And I always will.”
“You are so sure?” she teased.
He turned on his side, releasing her hand and running a finger along her cheek and over her lips. “You and I will live a long life together.”
“You are so sure of this?”
“Need I remind you again that I’m—”
“Always right,” she finished.
He took hold of her chin. “Believe inus,and you will know it too.”
Both their stomachs rumbled at that moment, and they laughed.
“See how alike we are?” he said. “We’re both in want of nourishment.”
“I have bread baking.”
He grabbed his chest, feigning shock. “I didn’t think this morning could get any better, and it just did.”
