Shestroked him from root to tip, adding a swirl with her fist over the head. His breath was hot as it gusted against the side of her neck, his muscles twitching as she worked him. Needing her so badly he was practically shaking. It had been so damn long, she thought with a pang, too long for them both and she wanted to make this as good for him as it was for her.

Wrapping her free arm around his back, she kissed his temple, his cheek, the edge of his jaw, working her way to those full lips. Adam turned his head and crushed his mouth to hers, one big hand coming up to lock around the back of her head. He devoured her, nipping and licking and caressing until she was dizzy.

Then, finally, when she was gasping and trembling all over, he pulled free of her grip to settle over her and rested his weight on his elbows, both his hands holding her head.

She sucked in a breath as the hot, hard length of him rubbed against her wet folds with every slow motion of his hips, the tiny, maddening caresses teasing her throbbing clit. He stared down into her eyes, features taut with arousal, eyes blazing with need.

“My Summer,” he said in a possessive tone that shot a thrill through her as he eased back to lodge the head of his cock against her opening.

Summer couldn’t answer, could barely breathe. She nodded to acknowledge that she was his and his alone and wound her legs tighter around him, rocking her hips up to meet his.

Holding her gaze, his hands fisted in her hair, Adam pushed into her, burying himself to the hilt inside her.

Summer moaned and closed her eyes to better absorb the sensation of him filling her. Stretching her with all that hot, delicious thickness. “God, Adam… I’ve missed this so much,” she choked out, a knot of emotion lodged in her throat.

“Me too,” he groaned. They clung to each other for a long moment, savoring the connection they’d both missed so much.

“Want to feel you come around me,” he rasped out, slipping a hand between their bodies and began to gently circle her clit with his thumb.

The flame he’d kindled inside her suddenly burst into a raging fire.

Digging her fingers into his shoulders, she sought his mouth with her own and rolled her hips against his, the motion making pleasure burst deep inside her. Her throat tightened and she held him tighter. “Oh, Adam, more.More…”

He groaned and plunged his tongue into her mouth, cutting off her pleading cries as his hips moved in a smooth but languid rhythm that drove her crazy. He knew her body so well. Knew exactly how to move, the angle and pressure she needed. The pleasure swelled higher and higher with each stroke, until she was ready to explode.

She loved him so much. Summer squeezed her inner muscles around him, flung her head back as that sweet ache exploded into pure rapture. She dimly heard her cries of release ringing through the room, clutched him tight to her while he drove deeper, harder, his movements growing rough and urgent.

He buried his face tight in her neck and plunged deep, a low, ragged shout of raw need and pleasure tearing from his throat. His big body shuddered, his muscles bunching tight beneath her greedy hands as he came.

At last he let out a deep, satisfied sigh and lowered his full weight onto her. She absorbed it gladly, arms and legs still wrapped around him, and smoothed her hands over the damp expanse of his back and shoulders. Holding him close, never wanting to let him go again.

The moment was so perfect, words would only spoil it. So she held him to her, savoring the feel of his heart beating strong and steady against her.

After a while he gently withdrew and rolled to his side, taking her with him. He slid one hand into her hair, his other arm wrapping around her back to hold her close as he kissed her, long and soft and tender. She melted into it, felt the sudden prick of tears at the backs of her eyes and let her fingers stroke over the back of his neck.

He sighed as he pulled back to smooth the hair away from the side of her face. “I’ve missed you so damn much these past few months.”

“I know. I’ve missed you too.” She swallowed and stared deep into his eyes, making herself completely vulnerable to him in a way she hadn’t allowed in forever. “I took you for granted. I didn’t mean to, but I did. And I’m so sorry it happened at all.”

“We both did that, both made mistakes,” he corrected with a shake of his head. “But I promise that going forward, I won’t let that happen again.”

She gave him a soft smile. “Me neither.”

His fingers combed through her hair in a gentle, lulling caress that had her eyelids dropping with a delicious sense of fatigue. “You talk to your family today about coming to visit?”

“Yes, on the way to the appointment this morning. They sounded like they were going to get on the first plane down here but I asked them to hold off until I’m ready.”

Her mom and sister hadn’t been happy about it, but they’d grudgingly agreed to give her some time. “I want at least a week or two alone with you before they come to visit. I know they mean well, but right now all I want is you.”

A low, possessive rumble of approval vibrated in his chest. “Good. Because I’ve got the next week off and I don’t plan to let you out of my sight.”

Her smile widened and she gave a mock shiver. “You know I love it when you get all possessive like that.”

His expression turned wry. “I seem to recall getting a verbal smackdown from you about it once upon a time, early on in our relationship.”

She lifted a shoulder in a careless shrug. “I just didn’t want you thinking you could control me or call the shots in this relationship.”

He laughed softly. “Trust me, those two thoughts havenevercrossed my mind in relation to you.”
