But now? Sitting here with Max—sweet, handsome, wonderful Max—I want to see that part of him. I want totouchthat part of him.

And the tickle between my legs? Apparently I want that part of him inside me as well.

My therapist always told me the feelings would come back, but until now, I’m not sure I actually believed it.

“Kiss me again, Max. Please.”

His lips come down on mine, and this time he’s not quite so gentle.

MAX

Idon’t have to nudge her lips open this time.

Jen offers me her sweet mouth, her silky tongue, her beautiful lips.

And oh my God…

Kissing her is paradise. Everything I knew it would be.

My cock is ready to explode from a mere kiss—a kiss from this woman I’ve loved for so long.

This woman who was ripped from me years ago, never to be replaced, by Mimi or anyone else.

And now, she’s back. By some miracle she came back to me.

I can’t blow this.

I need to give everything I have and take everything she offers. And as much as I want to get inside her—to fuck her hard and fast—I can’t risk that. First, it’s probably not what she needs or wants, and second? If this is the only time? I want it to last.

So I extend this kiss—this beautiful meeting of our souls—for as long as I can.

My entire body is on fire, and my dick is rock hard and ready. But still I kiss her, and still she responds.

To my shock, she responds more to this kiss than she did to my gentle kiss.

Perhaps gentleness is not what she needs or desires.

Perhaps—

Then I stop thinking.

I pour all my heart and soul into this kiss. If this kiss were words, it would be my confession of undying love to Jenna Holland. It would tell her how I’ve loved her since she disappeared, and how no other woman could compete with her memory.

And now that she’s back?

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is the only woman I’ll ever love, ever be capable of loving.

That’s what this kiss tells her.

Will she understand? I can only hope she can at least feel a tiny morsel of what I’m feeling.

I pull her to me, grab both her cheeks, hold her face.

Kiss her deeply and then more deeply. I let one hand stray from her face, smooth over her neck, her shoulder, until—

I gently touch her breast.
