She just stared, drinking him in like a woman dying of thirst.

And something in her chest cracked open.

Because this wasn’t just sex.

This wasn’t just attraction.

She was in love with him.

She always had been.

And she always would be.

“Show me,” Isaac said, voice rough with want. “Show me what you used to do when you thought about me.”

“I can’t.”

“Show me. Now.”

Rosie froze, her heart thudding so loud she could hear it echo in her throat. She parted her thighs further, showing him all of her pussy. She slid her fingers down her clit then back up again, drawing a moan from her lips as her head fell back. It was so crazy, so intense just having him watch her touch herself in front of him.

He was hovering over her—bare, flushed, his dark eyes wide and raw. There was no teasing in them now. Just hunger. And something else. Something deeper.

She swallowed.

“Come for me,” he growled.

“Help me.” Her thighs shifted against the sheets, her skin tingling from the heat of his gaze. Her breath came fast, shallow. But she didn’t break eye contact.

Instead, she reached for his wrist.

Guided him.

Down.

Isaac let her.

His hand settled between her thighs, warm and steady, and her own fingers followed—guiding his touch, teaching him the rhythm she’d kept secret all these years.

Her voice was a whisper. “Like this.”

Isaac’s lips parted as he watched her.

She lay back slowly, never letting go of his hand, her body fully exposed to him now—spine arched, breasts rising with each breath, her skin flushed from neck to thigh.

“I used to think about your hands,” she whispered. “Your mouth.”

His fingers moved with hers, mimicking her pace.

“I used to close my eyes and imagine you saying my name.”

Isaac groaned—low and wrecked.

“Rosalie,” he said like a vow, bending to kiss the swell of her breast, her ribs, her stomach.

She gasped at the feel of it. Of him. Of the way her body was open now, honest in a way her words had never been.

She’d never shown anyone this part of her. Never trusted anyone like this.
