Even though I was in heaven back in Evie’s embrace, something wasn’t right. With one hand against the wall for support and the other holding her hips to mine, my fingers couldn’t touch her the way I wanted. I couldn’t get my fill of her body. With a new plan in mind, I pulled away, grinning as a whimper rushed from Evie’s lips when I did.
Reaching for my bag, I grabbed my blanket and stretched it out on the ground. When I returned to Evie’s side, the desperation in her gaze spoke volumes. She’d missed this, missed us, as desperately as I had. I reached for her hand and drew her away from the wall and closer to me.
Lying on the floor, I guided Evie’s hips over mine. With no more explanation needed, Evie lowered herself over my cock.
“Fuck, Evie.” The words left my mouth in an involuntary moan of need.
As she set a perfect pace moving over my body, I let my fingers trail across her skin—pilgrims ready to find their way home to paradise. My thumbs brushed across her nipples, and the weight of her breasts in my hands was perfect.
I slid my hand over her heart and spent a moment with it racing beneath my palm, proof positive that she was with me. That she was alive.
She opened her eyes and glanced down at me, and my breath caught in my throat. I could’ve lost her. I had lost her and yet I had been granted the miracle of being at her side again.
There was no way I would let her go again.
Even if she grew tired of me when the sunbird slept, I would follow her to the ends of the world. There was no other choice for me, and I no longer wanted one.
When she brought her lips to mine again, I poured all of myself into the kiss. My regret, my anger, my sorrow, my love. As my tongue brushed against hers, I moved my thumb to caress her clit. With the intimate knowledge I possessed from our last reunion, I brought her to the very edge of climax and left her teetering.
A series of moans, each one more perfect than the last, rushed from her as a final caress of my thumb sent her tumbling over the edge. When she collapsed against me, boneless and panting, I shifted her so that she was beneath me.
“I missed you, Evie,” I whispered as I pushed back into her. “So. Fucking. Much.”
With perfect thrusts, and a desperation driving me, I moved until I was able to find the sweet release denied for far too long.
It was only when Evie’s desperate cries mimicked my own that I understood I’d brought her back to the edge once more. Meeting her eyes, I gave one final thrust and tumbled willingly over the edge.
If I never came back, I didn’t care. As long as I had her with me.
Dropping my forehead onto hers, I released the last of the anger and heartbreak I’d held in my heart. What came next didn’t matter to me. Very little mattered except for the fact that I was back home, back with Evie, exactly where I needed to be.
Nothing would tear me from her side again.
Nothing.
