Thomas pressed closer, erasing the small gap that separated them. His chin pressed softly against her shoulder as he brushed his thumb over her bottom lip.
It seemed like an eternity since he had last kissed her and that had been a quick peck at the airport before abandoning her to what was to come.
“What ever you want me to do,” he promised. “I will. Stay or go, the power is yours.”

“I want you with me,” she whispered, her lips touching his. “Always.”
