“Stop it.”His eyes had darkened, and his fingers trembled as they cupped herbreasts.

“Forgive me formaking you feel less than beautiful. You are.” Sliding downnext to her, he turned her to face him. His hands cupped her cheeks,eyes meeting hers as he bent his head to brush his lips against hers.

Heat and desireshimmered through her thin body. Lifting a hand, she touched hischest, feeling her body heating up further when his muscles flexedreflexively as he responded to her light touch.

Shoving his handsinto the sides of her hair, he held her steady while he plundered hermouth, the feeling of faintness going through his body at thefamiliar taste of her. She was right. It had been too long, and allthe pent-up longing and desire poured through his body like liquidfire.

Ending the kiss, hedragged his mouth to her cheek and down to her throat, where herpulse was beating madly. Shifting further down, he nuzzled the rigidflesh of her nipple, his breath stirring her already fevered senses.

Taking the nippleinto his mouth, he suckled gently before pulling it between histeeth. Her body arched, fingers digging into his shoulders and bitinginto his back as sensations poured through her body like wavescrashing against a rock.

Switching to theother nipple, he gave it the same thorough treatment before turningher onto her side.

“What-”

“I want youfrom behind,” he told her harshly. “It’s the onlyway to ensure I do not hurt you.” Guiding his swollen shaftinside her, he had to stop and take several breaths as her tightnesswrapped around him like a glove. “Sweetheart,” hewhispered brokenly. “How I have missed you.”

Twisting her headaround, she offered her mouth, and he took it like a man without foodfor days. One hand drifted to her stomach and then to the apexbetween her thighs. He moved slowly at first, gently rocking hiships, his fingers busy with the swollen flesh protruding from thefolds of her vagina.

Gripping the handwrapped around her waist, Tessa moved with him as his mouth ravishedhers. Her body jerked spasmodically as he tormented her with hisfingers.

The feel of himburied deep inside her was more than she could bear, and withinminutes, she was exploding, her cries swallowed deep inside histhroat. He came shortly after, his body heaving toward hers as heemptied himself, watering the mouth of her womb with his seed.

A smile curved hislips as he continued to stroke her quivering stomach. He was stillintimately joined with her, and the feeling of her being pressedagainst him gave him a strange and startling peace that had beenmissing from his life since he left her that fateful day.

He had been torturinghimself for nothing, thinking that he was going to hurt her. But thelovemaking had been so beautiful that it had touched his soul.

“What are youthinking?” She whispered, her hands clasped around the one hehad at her waist.

“How much Ilove being with you.”

“Really?”

“Yes, mysuspicious one.” He kissed her temple gently. “And Ishould not have allowed the separation for so long.”

“Does thatmean it’s the end? We get to sleep in the same bed from nowon?”

“Try and keepme away.”

“I wantsomething from you.”

“Anything.”

“I need tohear you say you love me.”

She had twisted herhead around, and he bent to look at her. “I thought it wasalways implied.”

“Let’sjust say that after going through what I went through, myself-confidence has taken a beating.”

Bending his head, hebrushed his lips against hers tenderly. “I adore you, love.”

“When you sayit in your beautiful British accent, it sends shivers all over mybody.”

“Is that so?”He kissed her again and could feel his penis rising. “Now lookat what you have done.”

“What is that?”she asked him impishly.
