leaving today and wasted our last night.”

“We will have plenty of other nights.” I hope.

“I’m going to make some coffee. Is it even worth asking if you want one?” He laughs, walking out of the room

He comes back in a few minutes later and hands me a mug.

I pull the covers back, exposing my naked legs, and smile at him.

We can do this.

He stares at me for a few silent beats and then speaks in a hoarse tone. “Antonia, as appealing as those sexy legs are, we have to get going soon.” I put my cup down on the bedside table, jutting out my bottom lip and slowly open my legs, giving him a peek at the black lacy panties I slipped into after he left the room.

“How appealing are my sexy legs now they’re open?” I ask in the most seductive voice I can muster.

Fake. Lies. See my pain.

A low growl rumbles from his chest. “You don’t play fair.” His hand skates up my leg and brushes over my panties, earning himself a small moan from my lips. It’s been so long since we’ve been together sexually, I’ve almost forgotten how good we can be at it.

“Fuck. It’s been a long time since I touched you like this.” He leans in to caress my mouth with his; I coax his lips to part with my tongue and slip it into his hot, wet mouth, finding my goal.

He leans in further, but to my utter mortification, he picks up my cup, pulls away from my lips with a quick peck, and offers the coffee to me. “Drink your coffee. We have to go. Your cousin’s plane gets in an hour.” Ignoring the cup he’s offering, I climb from the bed and slip past him. Why wouldn’t he want me? Does he feel empty inside too?

I raise the t-shirt of his that I’m wearing and drop it to the floor so he can see that the panties are a thong. He groans just as I turn to see him tracing his eyes all over my exposed body.

“I just thought with you leaving for a couple of weeks you would want to give me something to remember you by.” I slip my fingers into the waistband of the panties and slowly graze them down my legs, slipping one leg out then flicking my foot up so the panties fly at him.

I can do this. We need this.

He catches them with a primal growl that vibrates his chest.

“But don’t worry, I’m going to take a shower and get ready. I’ll sort my own pleasure once you’ve gone.” I saunter into the bathroom knowing full well he will follow.

“What the hell does that mean?”

I shake my head at him as he fills the doorway separating the bedroom and bathroom

“Haven’t we covered this before? Women need release too.”

“You can fuck off with that shit, Antonia. You don’t need to self-pleasure when you have me.” He’s saying this while slipping off the towel and he begins his stalking strides towards me.

Reaching out, he grasps my waist and lifts me into him. I wrap my legs around his waist and try to switch my mind off and just enjoy the heat from his body.

He’s hard and ready like always, but something is stopping him from taking us home.

His lips descend on mine with the usual amount of passion, and I try my best to lose myself in the moment, in his arms.

“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” he asks, taking his time kissing over my face and down my neck.

I nod.

“Don’t do that, Antonia. Not after everything you’ve been through. I need the words.”

“I’m all right. I want to if you do.”

“Baby, I want you always. Don’t ever question that. My favorite place in the world is inside you.” He exhales hard against my lips, resting his head on mine. “I shouldn’t have gone out last night. I should have spent the entire time in bed making you feel loved. I hate that I’ve wasted time.”

“We have time now.”

“I was just desperate to get the chance to sit down with your cousin before my flight. I hate that I’m leaving you. I just wanted to make sure she knows how important her role is here while I’m gone.”

I look into his dark green eyes and smile. “Finlay, I’m not dying. She’s here for the internship and to scout colleges. I can’t hijack her life.”

“I can offer her a placement if she’d be interested, then I can
