He’d planned on keeping her in bed the rest of that day so he could finish. Of course, that hadn’t happened. He shook off the thought and met her languid green stare. Amazing he still remembered. No, actually it wasn’t. Because how could he forget anything about the one who was his?

“Móno dikó mou.”

Rowan crinkled her brow and tilted her head at his murmured words. “Wha—”

“Only mine.”

Her eyes widened before she took in a shuddering breath and slowly nodded, his pulse kicking up when she whispered, “Only yours.”

He laid the condoms on the nightstand and then took his time undressing, enjoying Rowan’s unabashed perusal of his body as he stepped out of his boxers. Each pass of her eyes over his cock felt like a caress.

She raised her gleaming eyes to his. “Please tell me you’re going to do more than just look at me.”

“Not at all,” he said, crawling onto the bed and lying down beside her. “I just wanted to take all of you in.”

“And did you?” Rowan stroked her fingers down his face and caressed the cheek she’d slapped.

“Not yet.” He traced his finger down her side, and grinned at the little shimmy she did. “I still have to finish counting.”

“Counting?”

“Mmm-hmm. Your freckles. I left off here,” he said brushing his lips on the underside of her breast.

“I’d forgotten,” she said on a shuddering breath.

“I didn’t.” He licked the spot and then continued up and over her nipple, sucking on the hard tip and testing it with his tongue and teeth. His hand roamed over and down her body as he treated her other breast to the same loving.

Rowan’s body quivered when his hands found and petted over her core. “Leo,” she breathed out on a harsh sigh.

He slid his fingers through her wet heat and tested her tight opening with one finger while strumming the button of her clit with his thumb. He smiled against her flesh when she gasped and moved her hips in time with his shallow thrusts.

“I remember this too,” he murmured, trailing his lips down the center of her body and lingering over the slight swell of her belly before moving lower. “How responsive you are.” He slid lower on the bed and reluctantly moved his hand from her center. He pressed her thighs farther apart to settle his shoulders between them. “I wonder if you taste the same.”

Leo savored how Rowan fisted the comforter and her breathing grew heavier as he lowered his face to the pink flesh he’d exposed with his fingers. He glanced up over the swells and curves of her body as he flicked his tongue over her clitoris.

He smiled as she jerked, and then did it again, satisfaction rolling over him when her hands fisted in his hair and pulled him closer. He licked her deeply and her body bowed.

“Just the same,” he whispered before feasting on her. Her little whimpers of pleasure spurred him on until her lower body bucked against his face. He concentrated on the bundle of nerves peeking out of its hood with his tongue while he plunged first one and then two fingers into her soaking center until she was writhing against him and her cries of pleasure surrounded him. His scalp stung as her fingers tightened in his hair and then slowly eased as she loosened her grip. He brought her down with soft licks and kisses until her body went lax.

He gave her one final lick and grinned when she shivered before moving up her body. He snagged and opened a condom as he lay flush against her.

Her eyes remained shut tightly. “That was…” She didn’t finish, just let out a deep breath and swallowed.

“Yes it was. Wasn’t it?”

She nodded.

He tilted his body to the side and rolled the condom on. “But I’m not done yet.”

Her mouth parted and brow scrunched when he entered her in one smooth stroke, his body finding its home once more. He moved inside her while her low hum vibrated against him and she set up a matching rhythm.

“Look at me,” he said, his breathing harsh as he tried to keep his pace slow and easy. She opened her eyes, the soft look she gave him spearing his heart. This was his most remembered image of her—that certain look she gave him when he was deep in her body. He smiled and her eyes lighted. She smiled back and pulled his head down to kiss him.

Their mouths clung while tongues tasted and explored. They rediscovered each other as their bodies came together—nails biting, fingertips gripping, hands pulling each other closer while sliding over sweat-slicked skin.

Leo didn’t want it to end, but too soon his body told him he was close. He angled his hard thrusts that Rowan met as she fought for her own release until she shook and groaned into his mouth.

He lifted himself onto his forearms and plunged into her, his cock swelling and tingling with each thrust until he held himself deep as his release pulsed inside her tight channel.
