into my arms. “I mean I really love you. I miss you terribly when we’re apart, and I’m happy the moment I see your face again.” She peppers my face with kisses.
She’s the One. I finally found her. I do the only logical thing. I scoop her up, cradled in my arms, and carry her to the bedroom. “Dinner can wait.”
“I want you so bad.”
I strip her down the moment we get to her bedroom, and she helps take my clothes off. We slam together in a frenzy as the fire ignites between us. Then we tumble into bed, a tangle of arms and legs.
I cover her, holding my weight on my forearms.
Her fingers slide to the nape of my neck. “No matter what happens, let’s never forget this moment.”
I still. “What would happen?”
“Circumstances beyond our control. I don’t know. Take me.” She grabs my ass and pulls hard.
I thrust deep. It feels so good without the condom. She’s the only woman I’ve ever had like this. Her trust in me was there from the beginning. It only needed time to surface beyond the physical.
I pump slowly, gazing into her eyes. “I could never forget a single moment.”
“Me either,” she whispers, her eyes shiny with unshed tears.
Something deep passes between us. Our emotions binding us together. Nothing could be better than this.
“More,” she demands.
I give her what she needs, sliding a hand under her hip and angling her, taking her deep. The way we both need.
Her soft sounds of pleasure fuel my own. I rock into her faster and harder until we’re both panting. She throws her head back, crying out with her release, and I let go with a harsh sound, pleasure flooding me. So damn good.
I collapse against her, and she holds me tight. She doesn’t want to let me go. Neither do I.
Long moments later, she loosens her hold, and I roll off her. She wipes her cheeks.
“What’s wrong?” I ask, propping up on an elbow.
“Nothing,” she says with a laugh. “I’ve just been feeling everything really deeply lately. It’s your fault, I’m sure. Making me love you so much.”
“You sure that’s all?” Josie told me they were all nervous about the show’s ratings. If it gets cancelled, more than a hundred people are out of work. Including my love. I don’t want her to move halfway around the world for work, but at the same time I could never hold her back. We’ll figure something out.
“Yeah. I mean, my future job security is uncertain, but that’s the life I signed up for. And I wouldn’t want to be playing the same character the rest of my life anyway. That would get old.”
I kiss her. “You hungry?”
She presses herself against my side. “Just hold me a little longer.”
That’s not like her. I’m the cuddler more than she is. I wrap an arm around her, concerned. “If you got a new job in LA or wherever, we could do the long-distance thing. You’d come back eventually, right? Josie’s found more work in New York than she originally thought.” Now that I’m taking Jack’s place as crew chief, I’m staying rooted here. I can still take modeling and commercial gigs locally. That’s a huge advantage of working for family. They’re flexible and don’t mind me taking a day off here and there.
“Let’s not go there. I just want to enjoy now.”
I wish I could, but her tears have me on edge. “Does it bother you that the press dubbed you Princess Harper?” The paparazzi have snapped photos of us in front of her building when we go out. They’re calling us the royal duo. Almost sounds like we’re superheroes, so I don’t mind.
“It’s better than having everyone think I’m the tough bitch I used to play on TV. Half the time they call me Amanda. Princess Harper sounds regal and softer too.”
“Okay. But I’m all ears if anything’s bothering you. I just don’t remember you being so teary before.”
She sighs. “I’m exhausted, to be honest, between work and recovering from that stomach virus.”
My brows knit together. “It’s been three weeks. I thought you’d bounce back like I did.”
“Maybe it’s the stress of knowing our show’s ending soon. Next Friday is our last episode. Will you be there for the taping and the wrap party?”
I stroke her cheek and kiss her. “Absolutely.”
She hugs my middle. “It’ll be a little subdued since we don’t know if it’s goodbye forever or for the season.”
