He trails his fingers over my body, lightly tracing the curves of my breast down to the dimples on my hips. I lift, needing him inside me, to feel connected at every point.

“It’s been too long, Pip. I need to warm you up,” he mumbles against my lips.

“No, I will take you as is,” I say, not giving him a second to disagree.

I slowly sink down, feeling the burn deep within. My hands on his shoulders tighten as he stretches me open.

“Are you okay? Go slower,” he mutters. I don’t answer. I can’t.

Our lips are still pressed together, agape, breathing heavily against one another. He continues roaming my body with a barely-there touch, lightly exploring as I unhurriedly rock and glide against him.

His hands travel to my hips and press down, moving me with precision, guiding my clit to rub against him on every pass.

My eyes roll back, and Declan lets out a low guttural moan that sends shivers down my spine.

I feel the knowing burn all too soon, and I can tell by Declan’s breathing that he’s close too.

His one arm snakes around my waist, pulling me tightly against him, and the other moves to my nape, maneuvering my head to deepen our kiss.

I grind down, pushing us over the edge, and together with no words, only moans of pleasure, we come together. Experiencing a high that I hope we never come down from.

Declan

My phone ringsjust as I drop the weights after my last rep.

“What’s up?”

“Hello to you too, arsehole. I was checking to see if you were gracing us with your presence today at the office, or are you slacking again?” Wills asks, clicking away on his keyboard.

“You’re a fecking gobshite. You know that? I told you I was taking the whole week off.”

“I’m only approving the days off if you tell me why.”

“You’re a cunt.” I wipe the sweat dripping down my face.

“Yes, I know. Now tell me.”

“Mind your own fecking business for once, will ya? We’ll talk about it soon. Until then, I have to do cardio, and it’s a long run day for me. I’m going to run to the office for some files and take my nine a.m. call there. You should be on it with me. Meet me in my office at eight forty-five to prep.” I say, then hang up without a response, not in the mood to deal with Wills’s grumpy arse.

I pop my head into the bedroom. “I’m going for a run. Do you want to come?” I ask Nora.

“Didn’t you just work out in the gym?”

“Aye, but I’m going to do cardio outside.”

She thinks about it for a second and shakes her head. “I’m going to do a Pilates class in the gym today, then paint outside, if that’s okay.”

I hesitate, “In the back garden Dec, don’t worry, I won’t go out without you. Although you know you hired the guards so Icouldgo out.” She rolls her eyes.

“Let me get used to it, please. It will drive me insane with worry, thinking of anything happening to you.” I walk closer to her and place a hasty kiss on her lips. I will never get enough of those big plush lips.

She huffs, annoyed, “For now, but I can’t stay in this house when you’re gone for the next six months.”

“Just give me some time, Nora. I can’t be everywhere at once.”

“No shite, hence the bodyguards, like I just said.” She widens her eyes.
