"Well, I don't know about you three but I'm starving. Can I treat you guys to lunch before I head off to do some shopping for tomorrow?" Stacey offered.
"Food? Oh count me in." Gage grinned.
"Stace, these guys LIVE for food. Especially Gage here. Be glad the others aren't here. They can put away some food." Krista laughed.
"Have you been to Kirby Lane diner yet?" Ethan questioned.
"Not yet. Kris says it's the best place in Austin next to The County Line." Stacey smiled.
"Oh you're gonna love it Stace. I swear, I've never found another place like it." Krista gushed.

Krista sighed as she dropped onto the sofa. "Well, that was fun."
"I like Stacey." Ethan replied sitting beside her, pulling her onto his lap.
"Yeah, she's kick ass. Jerry and Stacey went to school together. When they graduated Stacey went to NYU and Jer came to Hamilton. They stayed in touch. Stacey did a summer intern with the publishing house her junior year and they said she had a job waiting once she graduated. I was one of her first clients."
"Krista, baby, there's something I need to tell you."
Krista pulled back and studied him. "You're still feeling your “Spidey” sense aren't you?"
Floored that she read him so well, all he could do was kiss her sweetly. "God I love you woman."
"And I love you. Now, answer me Ethan."
"Yeah. I thought when we found out about your house that that was the cause. But I'm still feeling this. Like something's right around the corner. I don't like it. My gut's screaming at me, telling me something's coming and I might not be in time to stop it."
Krista pulled him closer and buried her face in the crook of his neck. She didn't know what to do to comfort him. She didn't like the look of worry she had been seeing in his eyes these last two weeks. Even though he tried to hide it from her, she still saw it. She leaned back and cupped his face in her hands.
"Whatever happens tomorrow, we'll get through it. Together. I just know that no matter what you and I are a team and nothing can stop us."
"We do make a helluva team don't we baby? You keep my moody ass centered. Kick my ass when I get too bossy with ya."
"You bet your ass I will. Though there are times I LIKE that bossy side of yours."
Ethan let out a low growl and kissed her. Krista moaned as she wiggled around so she was now straddling him. She sighed when he cupped her ass. She whimpered as he stood, the strength in his magnificent body as he carried her toward their bedroom. Ethan had always been strong but now, that strength made her so wet with need for him.
Ethan walked with a purpose into the bedroom. That purpose being to get them both naked so he could take his woman. The Alpha male in him was growling for him to take her. As he deepened the kiss, his Krista answered that primitive need with her own kiss. He had never felt so insatiable as he did with Krista. All she had to do was walk into a room or just smile at him and his dick was rock hard and ready for her.
"Now Ethan. Take me now." Krista gasped once he set her on her feet.
"Yes Krista. Strip. Now." Ethan panted, pulling his shirt over his head.
In record time, they were both naked and on the bed. There was nothing sweet or loving as he drove deep inside of her. However, neither wanted it sweet. They both wanted it wild, hot and fierce. This was raw, pure fucking plain and simple. Both relished it, craved it. Ethan groaned as her nails raked his back as he found that spot that made her crazy.
They were both teetering on the edge. He wanted her to fly with him over that edge. Pounding into her now, he gripped her hips, elevating them and sinking deeper into her depths. Krista's cries of pleasure spurring him on. Their climax was nearly violent with its explosion. Her body locked beneath him as he emptied himself into her moaning her name.
Krista felt boneless when he finally slipped from her body. She felt him climb out of the bed and heard the faucet in the bathroom turn on. In less than a minute he was at her side again, running a warm washcloth over her. A deliciously feminine shiver washed over her at the tenderness he exuded as he took care of her. He once more left her side for a few minutes before sliding back into bed beside her and pulling her tight against him.
"Thank you." He whispered.
"You’re welcome, but what are you thanking me for?" She giggled.
He kissed the top of her head. "I wasn't just thanking you for the sex. Thank you for loving me Krista. For loving me then, for loving me now."
She gently laid a kiss over his heart. "That is my absolute pleasure Ethan. And thank you for loving me in return. When you came back into my life I felt whole for the first time since you left all those years ago. You are the other half of me that I didn't even know I was missing."
