Wrapping my arms around her curvy body, I kissed her back and shoulders loving the taste of her on my lips. She moaned, turning her head, trying to look behind her, but her eyes were still closed in sleep. I pumped in and out of her slowly, loving the sensation of my cock wrapped in her silk and feeling that undeniable connection to her as I smiled down at my Catarina.
Her eyes fluttered open slowly, and she smiled back. I loved the beautiful, heart-shaped curve of her lips, and when she smiled, it was golden. Every burning feeling inside of me intensified.
“Morning,” her sexy as hell voice murmured.
“Morning,dolcezza.” I continued to pump in and out, building the friction between the two of us, my lips caressing her body, trying to explain without words the tsunami that was swarming inside of me.
For once, I thanked God I wasn’t facing her at the moment because everything I was feeling was pouring out of me and I couldn’t stop it.
“God, that feels good,” she moaned. “So fucking good.” Her hips woke up and started moving in time with my thrusts, which turned to slamming in and out of her tight heat.
I lifted her leg higher and moved down a bit more, getting in a better position. Then I guided my hand up from her waist, feeling her full breasts. I massaged them, staying away from her nipples.
My thrusts became desperate, and her moans became louder as I licked her neck along her pulse point, biting ever so slightly. It was just enough to send Catarina off, and I followed right behind.
As I spilled my seed inside of her, I closed my eyes and hoped my mark stayed on her until I returned.
I flipped her over and pulled her to my body. I stared in her eyes, seeing the unease swirling in her gaze as she pulled her brows together, seeming to look deeper inside me than I’d ever allowed any other woman to venture.
“You’re leaving,” she choked out in a whisper.
“I am. I have things I have to do.”
She tried to give a small smile, but it fell short. The tears welling up in the corner of her eyes were crushing my heart.
“I know.” Her voice was so soft I could barely hear her.
I broke. “We aren’t finished, Catarina.” I brushed her hair away from her face. “Tell me that you feel this. Tell me that I’m not alone in this.” I felt like a damn pussy, but I had to put myself out there. I had to know she felt the same way.
Her eyes widened and a small gasp left her luscious lips. A tear spilled from the corner of her eye and I brushed it away with the pad of my thumb. “I don’t want you to go.” She whispered and I felt crushed.
“Come with me.” The words spilled from my lips before I thought of any of the repercussions of the declaration.
Her hands clutched me tight. “I can’t, my life is here. My family, my job. I can’t just pick up and leave.”
I knew that and it was stupid of me to even say the words, but I didn’t know how long I’d be gone. Hell, I could be fifty and just getting back to her and that ate at me. I couldn’t imagine not waking up to this every morning and falling asleep with her wrapped in my arms. Fuck me.
“I know.” I said softly, brushing my lips against hers. “I’m coming back for you,” I promised.
She silently nodded. Her arms wrapped around my body, pulling me to her like she was silently begging me not to leave her. We lay like that until a slight tap came at the door.
“Yeah,” I answered, covering up Catarina’s body.
Brett opened the door. “It’s time, boss. The plane’s ready.”
I gave a chin lift, dismissing him, and then turned back to the woman in my arms.
“Be safe,” she whispered.
“I’m coming back for you,” I promised again.
She didn’t answer; instead, she kissed me hard and deep, sucking the breath out of me. I could feel her heart breaking with the kiss before she pulled away.
“I mean it. I’m coming back.”
She nodded this time, but no words came from her gorgeous lips.
Reluctantly, I rose from the bed and dressed. Catarina went to get up, but I halted her, holding up my hand. I needed my last vision of her to be in bed.
