But this was more than sex, more than an erotic joining. This was a man and a woman making a commitment, a vow that left her breathless.
Moonlight shimmered through the window, sending silvery streaks across the bed. This was the first time they’d made love without protection, without a veil of latex between them.
Flesh to flesh, she thought.
She ran her fingers up and down his spine. He moved inside her, a rhythm so deep, so real, she couldn’t think beyond needing him, beyond accepting him as her mate.
She looked up at him, this man she was going to marry, this man who fought to change the world. She could feel the power of who he was, of what he believed in.
Together they would make a difference. Together, their limits were boundless.
Joyce didn’t believe in fairy tales. She didn’t believe in knights who swept ladies off their feet. But she believed in warriors who made compromises.
He lowered his head to kiss her, and their tongues tangled, the intensity of their lovemaking getting stronger.
Wilder.
They rolled over the bed, fever raging in their blood. Beautiful, sweet, reckless heat. It was part of them, part of what fueled their attraction.
But she couldn’t imagine it any other way.
She craved the fire he ignited; she thrived on it, anxious for every sensation. He did exquisite things to her, making her heart pound gloriously in her breast, making her climax in his arms.
And when he spilled into her, she held him, knowing she would love him forever.
