slowly make my way towards him.

He still seems to be in shock, but a smile is forming across his face. “Wait. Are you telling me, it’s just you and me?” he asks, peeling his eyes away momentarily as his they roam the room, confirming that we are, in fact, alone.

“I could invite a few more people if you would like?” I say, standing directly in front of him.

He shakes his head from side-to-side, disagreeing with the idea. He drops his bags on the floor and pulls me into his arms.

“I’m in shock that you are here. How?” he asks, holding me tight. “Are you sure we’re alone?” His eyes once again scan the room.

“Yes, Luke. We are alone. Mikey told me the key was in the same spot. He’s not coming back till next week. I promise, we are alone.” I laugh.

(Luke)

I cup her beautiful face in my hands and kiss her wine-colored lips. “I’ve missed you. This…” I say, looking around the room in disbelief, “…is like a dream. You look amazing.” I run my eyes and hands down her perfect body. “I feel like I’m gonna wake up any minute.”

“So you’re okay with the fact that I practically broke into your house and made myself at home?” I pull her to me as my mouth covers hers and I kiss her deeply. She doesn’t need an answer, the kiss tells her all she needs to know. When I finally release her to breathe, she continues, “Luke, it feels so good to be here with you, which is what this night is about. There are things that I want to say to you and it has to be said in person… You need to know that you are the love of my life. I never want to be without you ever again. You are my world, Luke. I have never felt as happy, loved and secure as I do when I am with you… and I swear to God, if you ever leave me again—”

I abruptly interrupt, needing to get the words past the lump in my throat, this girl can draw emotions from me that even I have a hard time wrapping my mind around, but it feels so good when she does. “Stop. I will never leave you again. I promise. Thank you for giving me another chance. I love you. I have never stopped loving you,” I say through a shaky voice. “Spending the rest of my life with you is all I ever wanted. You don’t know how much I prayed that I would hear those words from you again. It means everything to me. You are everything. Nothing in my life means anything to me unless I have you to share it with.” I hold her face in my hands and softly kiss her mouth.

When I finally release her long enough to take a breath, she manages to tell me that she made dinner.

“It smells awesome,” I tell her, planting kisses along her neck.

“Are you hungry?” she whispers seductively in my ear while her tongue plays along the bottom of my lobe, shooting electricity through my veins.

“Oh, I’m definitely hungry,” I assure her huskily as my eyes roam her body. I lift her into my arms and carry her off to my bedroom.

The room is lit by the flickering candles. My heart is pounding and my adrenaline’s pumping. It’s been so long since I’ve been with her; it feels as if it’s the first time all over again. I slide her body slowly down mine as I gently set her on the floor. My hands roam her body while my mouth trails down her jaw line, her neck, down to her collarbone. I slowly remove her dress from her shoulders, kissing her bare skin as I slide the rest of the lacey fabric down her body. She slowly steps out of her dress, left only in her sapphire lacy underwear. My eyes take every part of her body in.

She slides her hands up my back, slowly removing my shirt over my head. She takes my face in her hands, looking into my eyes with intensity as she guides my mouth back to hers. Her fingers tease my skin as they make their way down my body. Slowly she unbuttons my jeans, lowering the zipper before gently sliding them down over my hips. I step out of them as I guide her back towards my bed.

I lay her down softly and we gradually remove what’s
