A smile tugs at the side of his mouth.“You can bet your ass it’s real.”
He kisses me.Softly, slowly, passionately and I know that this can never be a mistake.He is all I have ever wanted for as long as I can remember.He loves me and I love him, and we can face anything together.
He lifts me into his arms, and I wrap my legs around his waist like I have always been doing it instead of just for a week.He walks us down the hallway to his bedroom where he slides me down the front of his body.I’ve been in his house, in his room a million times, and yet, I suddenly find myself nervous and even a little shy.
I think he knows that this is different—more—than it was on the island because his hands shake as he undresses me.He takes his time, stripping me of every piece of clothing until I am naked before him.His fingers skim my skin and goosebumps cover my arms.
“Have I told you that you’re fucking beautiful?”
“A few times,” I reply in a whisper.
“Good.Because it’s true and you deserve to know it.”
My heart skips a beat at the intensity in his gaze, and I know I will never be the same again.Alistair Grey is part of me, my DNA, my damn soul, and I would be lost without him.
I strip him next.Taking my time as well.I kiss each of his multitude of tattoos and flick at the single piercing he has through his left nipple.He pulls me into his arms and kisses me again before falling back onto the bed with me against his chest.
We don’t speak.There are no declarations of love or dirty words whispered in the heat of the moment.This isn’t sex for the sake of sex.This is us reconnecting and cementing our future.This is us declaring our love to each other and making what we have real now that we have left our little bubble.
I sink down on his thick length with a wonton moan, his hands on my hips as I ride him slowly.Nothing about this is hard or fast but it’s still explosive when he rubs his thumb over my clit and my orgasm crashes over me.My entire body goes taut as pleasure swims through my veins.
Alistair curses low beneath me before his cock kicks inside me and he follows me into bliss.
Chapter Nine
Back To Work
Alistair
Life returns to normal almost immediately.There isn’t that much of a difference from how it used to be before Tahiti, if I’m being honest.Skye shows up at my house every morning to see the dogs.I make her coffee and then we head to work.
It is driving me nuts not to have her in my bed at night, but Luke will be back in two days and then we can settle this.We are going over to their house to tell him that we are together and then we’ll take it from there.Skye and I have decided to do this together, as a united front, hoping her pig-headed brother will see reason, even though I doubt it.
The shop is quiet and everyone else has already headed home when Skye walks into my booth with a smile that promises to mean nothing but trouble for me.
“What did you do?”I ask.
