Other parts of her were so…
Wereso…
“Yes.” Her nails pressed into his skin every time he thrust into her. While they still made love at a sensual, steady pace, there was renewed desperation to it that claimed them both at the same time. “Yes!”
Sarah was ready to climax again. Yet unlike the orgasms she experienced earlier, this one was destined to crack open her embittered heart and make her feel all sorts of unfortunate emotions again.
And many fortunate ones.
Lucas was going to come with her. She knew it like she knew she was beyond the point of no return – sexually, and emotionally.
“Luke…” Her words were smothered by his next kiss. Why? Why did he have to cut her off like that? Didn’t he know that she was on the verge of a breakthrough?
He broke off the kiss the moment she began to come. His skin rubbed against hers. His body overtook hers, pushing, surging,insistingthat she raise her hips and meet his rabid thrusts. Sarah cried out. Everything inside of her was nothing but gushing adoration.
“I love you!”
Those words fell so effortlessly from her mouth seconds before she blacked out from orgasm.
She almost didn’t feel him climax while still inside of her.

“This spot right here.” Lucas brushed his finger against the corner of her mouth. “It dimples more than the other side. Adorable.”
Sarah commended him for still being able to speak in complete sentences, because she sure couldn’t. “Thanks.” Actually, that came out more likeHanks.
He continued to gaze down into her face, eyes flickering between humble love and concern. Sarah didn’t care. She was so far gone that all she could do was tickle his chest with her fingertips and wish he would hug her again.
This was the nicest she had felt in years. Perhaps her whole life. How sweet was it to enjoy afterglow likethis?She wanted more kisses. More caresses. More of him between her legs, but not necessarily having sex. Hell, she wanted it all. How many more times could she say she loved him before he got tired of hearing it?
“Are you happy, Angel?”
She ran her fingers between his as he touched her cheek. “Yes. This is the best I’ve felt in a long time.”
“I’m glad.” He lowered his lips to her forehead. “You know where to find me if you want more of this.”
“And you know where to find me if you want more of this.” She lightly pecked his lips.
“Indeed I do. I wouldn’t mind doing this every night for the rest of my life.”
Sarah blushed. “You really love me that much?”
“Do you want me to try to explain it?” he said with a soft chuckle. “Because I don’t think that’s possible. I love you, Sarah. I know you have issues you’re working through. So do I. We’ve all got problems. The question is whether or not we want the other person to help us through them.”
She scooted even closer to him. “What do you need help with?”
Sighing, Lucas shifted her leg over his hip, dislodging the last of him that was still inside of her.Now that’s my kind of intimacy.The best part? Sarah hadn’t gotten off on the risky aspect of it. She knew she couldn’t get pregnant. She was at peace with it.
And, well, if shedidget pregnant from birth-control free sex, she wouldn’t cry about it. In a way, Lucas had overcome one of his own hang-ups. With her.
“I’ve loved and lost. I’ve watched the first woman I thought I really loved fall into a pit I couldn’t help her out of. My money couldn’t fix it. Not even my love made it better. I guess I need to know that my love is worth something. I don’t want to become cold to that part of my heart. I’ve already gone down that road, and I didn’t like who I almost became.”
“That so?”
“Yes, Angel. I was veering into that territory right around the time I met you. You reminded me of what I loved so much about, well,love.”
He was too much sometimes!
