on him a little harder. Sean licked over the spot and then sucked on the skin, and when I clenched around him, a tortured groan left him.

The next thing I knew, we were moving, rolling across the sheets until I was on my back with Sean between my thighs. He was still lodged deep inside me. I wound my legs around his waist, then Sean took my hands and planted them by my head.

I entwined my fingers with his as Sean pulled out of my body. When he slowly re-entered me, he whispered across my lips, “I love you. So fucking much.”

I trembled under him as he took my mouth in a kiss so fierce that it made everything other than him disappear. Sean began to move again, his eyes roving over my face, gauging my every reaction, my every emotion, as his body imprinted itself on mine, and every part of me in that moment was his.

He could see it and I could feel it. My body started to vibrate under his. Sean lowered his head to the crook of my shoulder and picked up the pace.

I closed my eyes and held on to him with everything I had. The pleasure and promise of all our tomorrows swirled around us here in this bed. It was both exhilarating and terrifying to feel this connected and vulnerable with another. But if ever there was someone I trusted with all of me, it was Sean, and I was ready to risk it all.

“Sean… I love you.”

This time when his mouth met mine, there was an underlying desperation to acknowledge this moment we both knew we were in. We each felt the change, felt the importance of this union. When he reached down to take me in hand, I cried out.

“Come for me, Xander. I want to see and feel your pleasure.”

I stared up at him as he stroked me in time with his steady thrusts, and there was no way I could hold back. My body shook and tensed, and when the pleasure became too much to resist, I gave in to it and did as he requested. I came all over his hand and our stomachs in a hot rush of desire.

Sean’s chest heaved as he stared down at the proof of my arousal, then he raised his eyes to mine. The love from a second ago had been swallowed up by raw hunger. He swooped down to capture my lips with his, and his strong, solid body began to move over mine like he couldn’t get enough of me.

I closed my eyes and sank into the feelings consuming us. Sean stiffened and shouted out my name, and I wrapped myself around him and held him through the storm.

As our breathing slowed and the room slipped into silence, no words were needed to express what our bodies had just said so eloquently. I’d never felt more complete in my life. In every other relationship, I’d always felt something was missing. I’d felt unfulfilled in some way that had left me restless and wanting. But as Sean shifted to my side and pulled me into his arms, all I felt was content.

I was finally satisfied, finally at peace, and the only thing I wanted right now was a long, long life, so I could go on feeling this way forever.

“THAT DRIVE WASN’T half as bad as I expected it to be.” Xander turned onto Crescent Court and slowed the Maserati to a crawl. “What did you think?”

I looked around the beautifully landscaped area to see miles and miles of trees, and wondered if there were any other houses in the near vicinity.

“I agree. I thought the traffic would be a nightmare, but the commute seemed pretty straightforward.”

“It is Sunday, but I don’t think thirty minutes is too far out of the city, do you?”

“Not at all. I think it’s nice. Gets us away from it all.”

“Agreed.” Xander smiled at me and squeezed my hand as he came to a stop at the end of a cul-de-sac. As we climbed out of the car, I quickly scanned the area and noticed the perfectly manicured lawns and lush trees concealing the property behind.

“How big did you say this place was?”

“Just shy of two acres.”

I shut the door to Xander’s car and came around the hood.

“That gate looks like the one that leads to your little hut. Think the place back there has electricity?”

I took Xander’s hand in mine and tugged him up the
