you bare. I haven’t come this far to turn back now, beautiful. I’m coming inside you tonight. So deep inside you.”
My breath shudders out, and the ache between my legs intensifies until the hunger almost hurts. “That’s not playing fair.”
“I’m not here to play games. I’m here to convince you it’s over.”
I blink, confused.
“Your search for the father of your children,” he adds, making my heart flutter again. “It’s going to be me, whether we make them together or end up adopting or both. I’m all in. I want a family with you.”
Tears fill my eyes, blurring his handsome face as he steps closer. “I want that, too, but—”
“No buts,” he says, and then he kisses me, his lips warm and gentle against mine, coaxing, inviting, until I forget everything but how good it feels to be this close to him.
Until I know that everything is going to be okay.
Until there isn’t a doubt in my mind that we’ll find our way.
With love like this, how can we go wrong?
Chapter Twenty-Four
Zack
I’m so relieved I’m vibrating with it, my arms trembling as I guide Colette to the bed. When the back of her knees hit the mattress, she pulls her lips from mine. As her palms skim up my arms to my shoulders, she whispers, “You’re shaking.”
“I was scared,” I confess, knowing I don’t have to hide from her anymore, and that I never will again. “When I realized you were gone… I haven’t been that scared in a long time.”
She brushes my hair from my forehead with gentle hands. “I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be,” I say. “Just don’t leave without saying goodbye again.”
Emotion glows behind her eyes. “How about I just never leave again? Ever. Would that work?”
My lips curve even as my throat goes tight, making my voice husky as I agree, “That sounds perfect.” I lower my lips to hers, and I kiss her with all the love in my heart, so damned grateful that I don’t have to hide or downplay what I feel for her anymore.
I love her, and I’m going to make sure she knows it, tonight and every night that I’m lucky enough to have her in my life.
We fall back onto the bed. Capturing her wrists, I draw them over her head, pinning them to the mattress with one hand as I trail kisses down her neck, tasting the sweet salt of her skin.
“I should shower first,” she says, shivering beneath me as I cup her breast through her shirt. “I’m filthy.”
“I like you filthy.” I move lower, nipping at her nipple through the thin fabric, loving the way she gasps and arches closer to my mouth as my other hand pops the button at the top of her shorts. “I love it when you tell me exactly how you want me to fuck you.”
“I meant literally filthy,” she says, moaning as I slide my hand into her panties, finding where she’s already wet for me. Damn, I love that. So fucking much. “Not metaphorically. I’m still in my hiking clothes.”
“Not for long,” I promise, rubbing her clit in firm circles until she’s bucking into my touch before pulling my hand away.
I reach for the bottom of her T-shirt while she fumbles at the button of my jeans. In seconds, we’re rid of every scrap of clothing between us, and we come back together with a relieved sigh. Our lips meet in a kiss that’s urgent and demanding with a hunger boiling so close to the surface that I know this isn’t going to last as long as I’d like.
But that’s all right.
There’s always tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that.
Because she’s mine and I’m hers, and we’re never going to say goodbye.
“Oh yes, please,” she says as I nudge her thighs farther apart with my knee and press my aching cock between her legs, my head spinning as her wetness kisses my skin. “Inside me. Now.”
“Always,” I promise as I glide into her welcoming body, groaning as she wraps her legs around my hips and arches closer, taking every inch.
We begin to move together, finding that perfect rhythm, the one that brings us closer with every thrust, as in sync as we’ve been since the first time we touched. And as she comes beneath me, her body gripping me tight, triggering a release so intense I’m suddenly in orbit, high in the starry sky above, I make a silent promise to myself.
