Page 46 of All My Heart

That made me pause because I hadn't. “My family is close. Especially after my mom died. I just didn't think I could pretend everything was fine. They had all this time to get over her being gone, when I kind of ran from it.”

Luna shook her head. “I don't think they would be mad at you. Maybe a little hurt, but if you explain the situation to them…”

I didn't want to. I kind of wanted to forget about it.

“Aren't you worried about it now?”

“A little.” I pushed my foot to get my rocker moving.

“I can go with you if you want.”

That made me pause. “No one knows I'm here yet.”

Luna shrugged. “Whenever you're ready.”

“You'd do that for me?” I asked her, never having met anyone who'd do something so selfless. But then again, I hadn't let anyone else in.

“I want to be there for you.” She covered my hand with hers, and I wanted to forget about my family issues and the ball of emotion that was forming in my chest.

I tugged her until she got the hint and climbed into my lap. It was a tight fit, her knees were pressed against the sides of the chair, but I wanted to feel her against me.

Her hands played with the edges of my jacket, and her eyes held a hint of mischief. “Now that you've got me here, what are you going to do with me?”

“Consume you,” I said as I drew her closer and kissed her. I wanted to forget about our conversation and my impending visit home. My family knew I was retiring. I couldn't avoid them forever. But I could lose myself in Luna for the night.

I could wipe my brain of everything but her scent and her touch. I pressed her closer to me, not wanting to let go.

I stood, her legs going around my hips, and I opened the door, kicking it shut behind me. I ripped my lips from hers long enough to ask, “Bed?”

She pointed in the direction of the stairs, and I went back to kissing her. I went to the room at the end of the hall. Her cabin was similar to mine. Then I dropped her on the messy bed.

I made mine every morning, but that was probably the military training. Luna was easier going, and that's what attracted me to her. She was different than me, more malleable, less rigid. Maybe she'd rub off on me.

I took off my clothes while she watched from her position on the bed. She looked gorgeous anywhere, but I think I preferred seeing her in my bed.

I ignored the dismay that she'd be gone by the time my cabin was renovated.

I mentally shook my head. I needed to forget about the future. There was only the here and now, and this woman was letting me in.

Luna crawled toward me, sitting back when my cock sprung free.

“I want to make you feel good,” she said.

I wasn't going to argue with that.

She gripped my cock, and I forgot about everything else. There was just me and her. The look on her face when she worshipped my cock.

Just like last time, I enjoyed her mouth on me, but I wanted more. When I got close, I pulled her up and off the bed, helping her undress while I kissed her. Then I gently placed her hands on the bed and pulled her hips back so that she was open for me.

She shifted on her feet like she felt exposed in this position.

I ran a hand down her spine and over her hips to soothe her. “You're beautiful.”

Then I dipped a hand between her legs, finding her dripping for me. I wouldn't be able to hold back now that her scent was in my nostrils. I had the forethought to grab the condom from my wallet, sheathed myself, then entered her with a tight grip on her hips.

I wouldn't last long. There was something about this position that got me hot. I drove into her hard, gripping her hips tightly as I moved. Tingles started at the base of my spine, and I leaned around her to circle her clit, needing her to come first.

She arched into my chest as she cried out my name. I'd never get enough of hearing it on her lips.
