“Not going to argue with that, babe.” He kisses the top of my head.
This is my favorite spot in Sebastian’s house. A full glass enclosure that shows off everything from the soft layer of snow on the ground in the backyard to the beautiful cloudless sky above. It’s a perfect night between storms, and with the fire and Sebastian’s body heat, I’ve never felt so warm.
“How was packing?” Sebastian asks.
“Exhausting, but it’s done.”
“Done?”
“Yes, I’m all yours now.”
He tips my chin up to look me in the face and gives me the smile that brings butterflies to life in my chest.
“You already were mine,” he says, planting a whisper of a kiss on my lips.
I press back and soak in every breath from him. “I know.”
“That reminds me, I’ve got something to show you.” Sebastian leans back and tugs at the neck of his T-shirt, pulling it just below his collarbone. Looking closer, I see something fresh on his skin.
“Is that?” I trace it with my fingers. Five dots, making the shape of what most people might think is a W drawn by a drunk person, but I know different.
“Cassiopeia,” he grins. “The constellation.”
“That’s—"
There aren’t really words. Beautiful, heart-warming, everything.
“I love it,” I say, my gaze darting back up to his.
He lets go of the collar of his T-shirt and wraps his hand around the back of my neck. “I love you.”
He pulls me in for another kiss, this time longer, fuller. He presses me against the mattress and covers me with his body. And I know I’m exactly where I’ve always belonged.
“How many days until the buses arrive?”
“Two weeks,” he says, kissing a trail along my jaw and down my neck.
My body hums at the sensation of him moving over my skin. Sebastian slips his hands down and pulls my shirt off me in one movement, tossing it somewhere on the dark patio. I’ll have to find it tomorrow.
He kisses along my throat and down the line between my breasts, all the way to my belly button, pausing only to peel off my bra and pop the button on my jeans.
As he slides them down my legs, he takes my underwear with them, and I’m naked under the most beautiful starry night with Sebastian Kane between my legs. But instead of stargazing like he was doing before I got here, his eyes are on me with the fire of the morning sun.
He grabs the back of his shirt in his fist and peels it over his head, planting his hands firmly on the insides of my thighs and pressing them open for him.
“You’re an angel,” Sebastian smiles, kissing from my knee, down…
Down…
Down.
Toward the apex between my legs where my body is aching for him. I almost think I might explode before he reaches me, like the pressure inside is too much and I won’t be able to hold on. But when his tongue flattens and runs the full length of my pussy, my entire body shivers.
Instead of crumbling, I hold together, craving more of his touch.
He keeps his palms on my thighs, spreading me wide open for him as he devours me like he hasn’t had a meal in weeks. Kissing, tugging, and humming against my clit. Sending every sensation up my spine and down to my toes. I grab onto his thick hair and hold him in place, right where I need him.
And he knows exactly what I’m asking for. He draws something that might be letters or words between my legs. Writes me a love song with his lips. Picking up speed when he feels me getting close. Holding tighter as my fingernails dig into his scalp.
