Tom caught her hand and kissed it. “Because I was young and stupid and I’m not as brave as you. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you then but I can tell you now because both you and Connor are worth fighting for.” He flattened her hand over his heart. “I love you, Kendra. And I love our son.”
The blazing light in his eyes as he stared into hers convinced Kendra that he meant it. Overwhelmed by emotion, Kendra rested her head against Tom’s chest and shook with sobs.
Tom gathered her close and held her as she cried. He shut his eyes against the tears that filled them. A few escaped and trickled down to fall into her hair. Then he scooped her into his arms and carried her down the hall to his bedroom.
Setting her on her feet, he turned on a small lamp on his dresser, casting a soft glow around the room. Tom cradled her face in his palms, his gaze steady as he met her gaze for a few moments. Dipping his head, he brushed his mouth tenderly against hers. When she wound her arms around his waist, he settled his lips firmly over hers.
He plundered her mouth and she responded in kind. Taking all the pins out of her hair, Tom laid them on the nightstand and embraced her again. Her body heated as he caressed her back and shoulders.
She offered no objection when he unzipped her dress and dipped his hands underneath it to cup her bottom. Kendra needed to be as close to him as possible. She held him tighter and kissed him harder.
His hands traveled up to the clasp behind her neck that released the top of her dress. Tom undid it and slowly pulled it down, exposing her breasts. Her nipples tightened and she gasped as he brushed the backs of his fingers over them.
He drew the dress slowly down her body and helped her step out of it. Crouching, he kissed her stomach, trailed his lips downward, and pressed them against her mound through her panties. Hooking his thumbs under the sides, he removed the lacy garment and her high heels.
Kendra shivered with need as he kissed his way up to her breasts. A moan escaped her as he kneaded them and teased her nipples with his fingers. Hunger filled her and she needed to feel his skin against her own.
She pushed his suit jacket off his shoulders and pulling it off his arms. As she unbuttoned his shirt, she kissed every inch of the muscled chest that she exposed. With shaking hands she took off his cufflinks and laid them on the nightstand before tugging the shirt the rest of the way off. When Tom stood naked before her, she thought no man could ever be as sexy as him. He was sculptured perfection.
Although he burned for Kendra, Tom was determined to show her how much he loved her. Picking her up, he laid her in the center of his bed and stretched out beside her. Meeting her eyes, he ran his fingertips over the silky skin of her thighs.
He took his time, caressing and kissing her everywhere—worshipping this amazing woman who had given him her heart. With his hands, mouth, and tongue, he tried to show her how much he cherished her. Her back arched when he took a turgid nipple in his mouth and lazily circled it with his tongue. Cupping her mound, he coaxed her legs apart and found the sensitive nub within her folds.
He wanted the fire he felt to consume her, too. He sighed when she lifted his head, kissing him and shifting her body in clear invitation.
Unable to resist any longer, Tom gently broke the kiss and covered her body with his. Savoring the moment, he gradually pressed forward until he filled her. He spread her dark hair over the pillow, admiring the glossy locks.
Raising up on his hands, he pulled out partially and pushed steadily back in. The sensations were more intense than normal.Blast, no condoms.Remembering that Kendra was on birth control, he shoved away his concern and began moving again.
Moaning, Kendra wrapped herself around Tom, running her hands down his muscular back to his buttocks. Gripping them, she urged him into a faster rhythm. As they rocked together, she felt his love in every kiss and touch. The dam inside Kendra burst. She cried out in bliss and shuddered against his hard body.
Determined to take her with him to another sensual pinnacle, Tom didn’t give her time to recover. Instead, he rose on his hands and pumped his hips faster, driving them both onward. A desire to completely fill her heart, to brand himself on her soul burned in his veins. To make her his forever.
Moving with him, Kendra clutched at his back as she strained towards their mutual goal. Her whimpers of need turned to moans before a powerful orgasm made her call his name so loudly that it echoed off the walls.
Hearing the sounds of pleasure he gave Kendra sent Tom over the edge. His release tore through him with the intensity of a cyclone, and he wrapped his arms around her as ecstasy crashed over him. A long, low groan left him as his thrusts slowed and then stopped.
Completely spent, he relaxed down on top of Kendra. Lifting his head, he met her emerald gaze and smiled down at her. She returned his smile and he couldn’t resist kissing her. Their tongues twined as their hearts calmed.
Ending the kiss, Tom cupped her face and made her look at him. “I love you, Kendra. I’ve never loved any other woman. Just you. Got it?”
She nodded. “I hear you and I believe you.” She covered his hands with hers. “I love only you. Got it?”
He grinned. “Got it.”
Kendra let out a cry of surprise when he flipped them over in a lightning fast move. She giggled when he laughed. Squeezing his shoulders, she said, “I love these muscles of yours too.”
He gave the same treatment to her rear end. “And I love these and a lot of other things about you.”
With a chuckle, Kendra laid her head on his chest. They lay together like that for several minutes, just enjoying their closeness.
Kendra lifted her head when Tom sighed. “What’s wrong?
“I’m so glad that you don’t have to go home tonight, because I want you again. And again and again.”
She giggled. “I’m all yours to have again and again and again.”
His kiss was fierce and excited Kendra with surprising swiftness. Soon they were lost on another ride into passion and stayed in each other’s arms until almost dawn when sleep finally claimed them.
