Page 80 of No Ordinary Love

I pulled out and all but threw her on the bed. I parted her thighs and dived in.

"Lucas,please," she whimpered.

I wanted to taste her orgasm. Feel her as she came. She began to scream when I started to nip her clit with my teeth, alternating it with my tongue swirling around it. I slid two fingers inside her, and that's when she exploded. Her whole body shook with her release. I lapped at her juices, hungry for her.

"Lucas, now," she demanded.

I couldn't wait any longer. I'd been without her for too long.

I lifted her ass off the mattress and plunged into her, balls deep. We both groaned in relief and pleasure.

I looked down at her. "Tell me."

"I love you, Lucas."

"Yeah, you do." I pumped in and out of her, keeping the pace as slow as I could without killing myself. "I love you so much, Amara. My world is you."

"I know." Her eyes blazed with certainty. She was giving me her trust. She was giving me her all. Everything. I grunted and began to pound into her. She was coming again. I pushed in deeper, chasing my orgasm. Even after I found my release I stroked in and out of her, loving the sounds we made, the mess we were making on her bed.

I stayed inside her and rested my head on the side of her neck, licking her, tasting her even as I leveled out.

Her hands stroked my back.

"Lucas, honey."

"Yeah." I nuzzled her skin, loving her smell.

"Thank you for coming back to me."

I raised my head then. "I'llalwayscome home,Tesoro."

"Promise?"

"On everything sacred, Amara. I willalwayscome home toyoubecauseyouare my home."

"And you are mine," she gave the words back to me without hesitation.

After we cleaned up and got back into bed, I told her about the incident in my office with my mother.

We lay on our sides so we could look at each other. We started the night this way, and then when we were ready to sleep, she'd cuddle into me with her head on my shoulder. During the night, she'd power sleep, hogging the comforter andall but kicking me out of bed.

"We can go to your mom's for Thanksgiving if you—"

"You're the fucking sweetest woman in the world for even suggesting that, but fuck no." I was a lucky son of a bitch. Even after how my mother, Shelby, Kath, and even Flynn had treated her, she was ready to spend the holidays with them if that was what I wanted.

"Rena doesn't mind being alone during the holidays?"

I chuckled. "She's not alone. She has friends visiting her in Hawaii. And I was thinking maybe you and I, and your dad, could go there for Christmas."

"Really? He'd love that."

"He's not pissed with me anymore?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Maybe a little, but once he sees us and sees how much we love each other, it's going to be fine. I've been giving him some of the details of what's been going on."

"Amara, are you still planning on leaving Charleston?" I was hoping not, but she hadn't explicitly said anything.

She smiled at me. "What do you think?"
