The desire to dance had scratched at her senses for so long, burrowing deep in her skin and prickling at her so she couldn't ignore it. She lost herself to the music and moved in any way her body wanted her to. She was free, freer than she had ever been before.

Then she shook her hair loose and threw off the negligee so all she wore were her pointe shoes. She was entirely herself, open and vulnerable like she had never allowed herself to be. His gaze was hot and hungry as he looked from one breast to the other. She’d never felt more desired or sexy in her life.

Scarlett moved with an effortless grace, swanlike in her fluid yet precise movement. And when she threw off her clothes, Linc drank her in, mesmerised.

Each move was filled with raw passion and sensuality. He couldn't have looked away even if his life had depended on it.

He’d missed her so damn much he’d barely been able to think about anything else. Work had been his salvation, giving him something else to concentrate on, and he’d grabbed it with both hands.

Now she was back and offering her whole self to him and asking for nothing in exchange except his love. It was a gift he would never disrespect.

The music changed and she moved slowly toward him. Her legs shuffled as she rose on pointe. She bent down and kissed his lips before climbing onto his lap so that she faced him with her legs straddling his waist. His hands found her knees, and she shivered as his thumbs made small, gentle circles on the sensitive skin of her inner legs, his gaze still fixed on her perfect breasts.

She continued moving on his lap, gyrating her pelvis against his growing bulge. Breathless, he moved his hands to cradle each side of her head and moved her mouth to his. She opened to him, accepting the delicious heat of his lips and the play of his tongue.

“Your body is perfect,” he groaned out. “You are perfect.”

She stopped moving and they looked at each other for a long time. Their eyes spoke unsaid promises that they would always be there for each other. To support and protect no matter what.

“By the way, I forgot to tell you something.” She smiled at him, and her face was so full of adoration it made his heart hiccup. “I love you too.”
