I feel more of him.
Of his life here.
And I squeeze his fingers.
We climb the stairs. Side by side.
And I take in his beautiful home.
But I recognize the loneliness.
Hisloneliness.
And more of my defenses fall away.
We enter his bedroom, and he turns me to him.
I match his embrace.
I reach for his shirt as he reaches for mine.
We watch each other.
We undress each other.
And we fall onto the bed with each other.
Chapter 175
Sterling
Her body iswarm beneath mine.
Her breathing is shallow.
Her eyes are open. And she’s showing me so much.
She’s showing me so fucking much.
And I’m taking it all.
Her legs spread.
Her back arches.
Her gasp is delicious.
She’s taking all of me.
And I’m sinking deeper.
Into her body.
Into her mind.
Into her timeline.
She’s accepting me.
