“My wife.”
Oh, two could play that game.
“My husband,” she said back. “Make love to me, EJ. I need you right now. I’m struggling.”
That was all he had to hear.
He kissed her again, and this time, he controlled the gentle mating of mouths.
As his lips moved over hers, Ethan shared what was in him.
His love.
He held nothing back from the woman who shared all of her.
There was no need to hold back. They were bound together forever.
And he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Elizabeth fell into that wicked kiss, and it was the best feeling in the world to be trapped below him in this office.
Some things never changed.
That was for damn sure.
Since escapingPhiladelphia, so much had changed. They were grandparents together, and he had begun healing. With Javier Hughes and David Neives dead, her man would survive.
Bet.
On.
It.
As he kissed her with all he had, worshiping the woman he loved, the heat between them exploded. It was a fast, hot burn, and he was there for it.
Bring it on.
“My Elizabeth,” he whispered, making that solemn vow to her. He might have done a handfasting with Gene, but at their core was one person.
HER.
Truthfully, the breathless sound of her name on his lips sent goosebumps across her body.
Yeah, they would be okay here. She’d bet on it. Despite what Wyler chose, they would be able to hold back the storm.
That was what made them powerful.
LOVE.
It was a shield.
Moving, she shoved him back, and Elizabeth found herself on top, with Ethan willingly trapped beneath her.
It was time.
It was her turn to enjoy his magnificent body. There was nothing she liked more than the visual of him on his back, and hers to explore.
It was a welcome distraction.
