“Yes, Finn,” she said.
That was all he had to hear. He had his answer. Without hesitation, Finn caught her mouth with his, and took it with passion.
He plundered.
Truth be told, he’d never been this hungry for a woman in his whole life, and that was why he’d told her the truth.
She was the one.
Lowering her down to the blanket, they rolled around in that field of newly bloomed spring flowers. The scent was incredible, but it wasn’t as incredible as her.
There would never be a day that he didn’t remember this, and be happy.
While a normal romance took time, he knew he needed to fill as much of their time together with as much love as he could.
To make her stay.
When he asked his ex to stay, he didn’t show her a reason to stay.
With Gabby, he would.
As she was beneath him, his hands wandered, and she felt her clothing being opened.
And she didn’t stop him.
Why?
She was doing the same thing, trying to get to his skin. There was that fervent desire overtaking both of them, and what she craved was to feel him naked against her.
She was so wet, wanting this man.
In all of her life, she never wanted anything more.
Not her ex.
Not her career.
Not to breathe.
She wanted to see what they could make, and that began now. If it was half as spectacular as this felt, she’d stay in a heartbeat.
As he moved, sitting up, he pulled his shirt off, and then helped her get hers off too.
When they were both topless, he licked his lips, dying to touch her body. She looked silky smooth, and delectable.
Finn had never wanted anything more than her.
When he left a trail of kisses down her skin, past the black of her bra, and to her belly button, his erection throbbed.
He craved her.
Pushing off of her, she watched him, and noticed he was nursing his shoulder.
It was where the bookshelf hit him, as he’d been protecting her.
Getting up, she moved around him, and found the bright red mark that was surely going to bruise.
With tenderness, she left kisses across it, making sure he knew how much she appreciated him saving her.
