She won’t. I’ll make sure she doesn’t feel it, just like that last time. A little sedative in her wine after dinner, and Saylor slept through the whole process. It was almost a year later before she found out and we fought about it. My eyes take in the dashes. Six. As long as a cell phone password. My mind filters through all the dates and combinations.

“I tried her birthday, your birthday, your anniversary, Mila’s birthday and Niko’s. One more try before it locks and burns,” Oaklynn whispers. She’s wrapped in Kai’s arms, her body racked with nerves.

One more date stands out to me. One they may not have guessed because we had held it to ourselves. Our plan to share the date with everyone died when I got hurt and we broke up. I wasn’t even sure if she told Oaklynn, but she must not have. Saylor had wanted to do it together, but we were busy with Rogue, and she was losing hope that we would make it.

My fingers hover over the keyboard. Twelve. Zero. Four. Twenty four.

I hold my breath until the word Active lights up in green. A second later a green dot appears on the map, deep in the woods between Savage Lakes and a nearby township.

“Send me the coordinates.” I yell to Silas, but I’m already on my way. I hop in my truck, and drive through town as fast as I can. We didn’t stop anywhere else when we landed and went right to Rogue. My clip is still loaded on my gun, and I’m still dressed from the mission.

The whole drive takes longer than I would like. I don’t breathe easier until I’m on the dirt path where her car sits on the side of the road. I’m getting closer to her, her tracker giving me miles and time away like a little GPS. Eventually I have to park and start walking. I easily find the trail and run through the trees. What I see next makes my heart stop.

“Say.”

The tent window goes down and purple hair pokes out, followed by startled eyes, the color of chocolate. “Ciaran?”

I charge her, my hands grabbing her arms and bringing her to her feet. Her eyes are startled and she grips me. “What are you doing?”

She’s fine. She’s alive. There’s no blood, no kidnapper, she’s not in danger. My heart races and I react, doing what I’ve wanted to do since she walked away from me the last time. My hands slide around her face and my lips crash down on hers. Everything inside of my heart, my mind, body and my soul, aligns. Her lips feel like home. She tastes like mine. I put everything into this kiss, all the nights without her, the days I spent thinking about her, and how I could convince her to stay. She’s shaking in my arms when she pulls back, her breathing ragged and her lips puffy and red.

“How did you find me?”

My hands grip her face and I tilt her gaze to meet mine. “No one could find you. We were in New York when Silas went to initiate a call down. You didn’t answer.”

She bites her lip and her cheeks turn pink. “I’m sorry. I forgot my phone when I left this morning. I didn’t plan to be here for so long, but I sort of fell asleep in the tent.”

My brow rises. “You fell asleep in a fucking tent?”

“Yeah,” She lifts her shoulders. “I haven’t been sleeping well, but out here in the fresh air…I was thinking about the future and I just fell asleep.”

“Fuck, baby,” My forehead rests on hers, her hands circle my wrists. Finally I pull back, brushing her hair out of her face. “I was so scared, Say. The person we were interrogating, she said something, and I thought she meant about our targets, but then we couldn’t trace you. I panicked. I’ve never felt like this before, thinking I lost you. That day you walked away from myapartment, I should have stopped you then. I’m sorry, Say. I love you. I’ve never stopped loving you.”

A sob rips from her throat and then her hand is in my hair, bringing my lips back down to hers. “I love you too. Can we just be together again? I can’t not be with you, Ciaran, it hurts too much.”

I walk her backwards towards her tent with my body. I’m on the brink of madness, when she says those words. I just want all of her. “Oh, baby we’re back together. I don’t even think we really let each other go.”

Her arms wrap around my neck and I pull her body up to mine, forcing her legs to hook on my sides. My hand slides around the back of her thighs, gripping her hard enough to leave bruises and my dick hardens just thinking of my marks all over her. I toss her down to the pile of mats and blankets, and grab my cell phone. I quickly send Kai a message that I found her, and for everyone to leave us alone for now. I don’t wait for his reply because my girl is watching me, her eyes hooded, and she’s biting her lip again. Groaning, I sink to my knees, and unbuckle all my gear before taking my black, long sleeve shirt off. Saylor’s eyes roam over my bare skin, and the few scars I’ve acquired over the years. Her cheeks just flush a deeper shade of red and her lips part.

“I can’t take it,” I growl, my hands grabbing the waistband of her leggings and yanking them down her legs. I need to see her.

“Ci!” She calls my name, a breathless sounding plea on her lips. Her hands move to her sweatshirt and she takes it off, followed by her t-shirt and sports bra. Saylor is on display before me, naked, breathing deeply, her eyes begging me to put us both out of our misery.

My hands slide between her legs, pushing them far apart before dragging my tongue through her pink folds, licking deep inside of her. I missed her taste on my tongue, and the raspynoises she makes when I’m driving her wild. My hands grip her waist, holding her still while I devour her, worshipping her while she soaked my face. I couldn’t take my eyes off how beautiful she looked. Purple hair splayed over the pillow, her eyes dark, her lips parted, panting my name. I knew every part of Saylor’s body and what she liked, what she needed, and it was time I reminded her of that. Her inner muscles squeezed as my tongue pushed deeply inside and I let my fingers ghost over her clit until her body arched off the ground. My name was a chant on her lips, and I chased every drop of her sweet slickness as she came.

Getting to my feet, I finish undressing before leaning back over her, one of my hands braced above her head while I use the other to drag the head of my cock between her folds. She gasps with the motion, and my lips drop to hers, swallowing her moans. I let her taste herself on my tongue before pushing inside of her. It has been so long since I was inside of her that she cries out, her chest rising to press against mine.

“Oh, Ci, yes,” She chants, her hands gripping my back, her legs hitching around my sides. I grip her leg over my arm, angling her body in order to thrust deep.

All I can think about is burying myself inside of her, painting her insides with my cum so she knows that she’s mine. I want this forever with her, only her. I was a fucking idiot thinking I could ever spend another day of my life without Saylor.

“You feel so good, baby. You’re mine. I’m never letting you go again,” I growl, fiercely, desperate for her to believe me.

Her little fingernails pierce my skin, and her body meets mine thrust for thrust. I shift again, pushing her into the makeshift bed, my thrusts becoming harder, more forceful.

“Yes, Ciaran. You feel so good,” She cries, her lips catching mine and her teeth sinking into my bottom lip. I grunt from the little pain she causes, my tongue sliding back inside her mouth, caressing hers.

“You ruin me, Say. You’re so fucking perfect, you’re taking me so well. You feel so fucking good, baby,” I pull back, sliding my hand between our bodies to play with her clit again. She moans loudly this time, her body feels on fire underneath mine. “Come on my cock, princess. Come all over me.”
