he did, her muscles clenching him so tightly as he
pushed even deeper inside her heat.
And all the while, even as she felt him spurt hot and
thick into her, even as she cried out his name, his eyes
never left hers. It was beautiful, watching him come, the
play of pleasure moving across his face, knowing how
good she was making him feel.
Minutes later as they lay damp and panting side by
side on the bed, he turned his head to her. You
probably need to get back to work in the City, don't
you.
Probably, she agreed.
It was incredibly gratifying to watch disappointment
move across his face. And maybe, she thought to
herself, even a little mean of her to do that to him. If only
to confirm that he'd miss her when she left.
But I was thinking I could just make some calls
instead. She smiled. I want to stay here with you.
For as long as they could possibly keep the real
world at bay.
You don't
He cut himself off with a curse and shifted back hard
on the bed away from her.
Following her impulse apparently where Luke was
concerned she was unable to do anything else, even
when she knew better, even when she knew she was
just setting herself up to be destroyed she moved
from her side of the bed and shifted over him so that
she was sitting up above him straddling his hips.
You can say anything to me. You know that, don't you?
She saw him try to fight a grin and lose the battle.
Where the hell did you come from?
Holding her hands out at her sides as if she were trying
to fly, perfectly comfortable with her nudity, she said,
I'm one-of-a-kind.
His grin widened, but then, suddenly fell away. I can't
ask you to stay. I shouldn't ask you to stay.
You use those words too much. Can't. Shouldn't. I think
you should stop worrying about a bunch of random
rules and get to the real question. She pressed her
palms flat against his six-pack, enjoying the feel of his
muscles rippling beneath her hands. What do you
want, Luke?
I want you to stay.
This time, it was her turn for her grin to fall away at his
potent statement. And when he followed it up with, I
don't know what I would do if you left, Janica, she was
pretty sure all the breath left her lungs.
Again, it wasn't love, but it was something. Something
more than she'd ever thought to hear him say to her, to
have him feel for her. Especially considering the way
he'd practically been trying to force her out the door
before their walk on the beach, when he'd been an
apple and she'd been an orange.
But when she looked at him, she could see that there
was still something more.
Say it all, Luke. You don't have to hold back with me.
She could see his brain trying to take over. She moved
one hand from his stomach to his heart.
Keep talking from here, not up there, she said,
nodding at his head.
I just want to be with you. For the next few days without
any He cut himself off again. Fuck, I suck at this,
don't I?
Kind of, she teased, then decided to let him off the
hook by saying, Are you trying to tell me that you just
want to have fun?
Fun, he repeated, the word almost hollow. He didn't
move or speak again for a long moment. Finally, he
said, That's exactly what I want.
She knew what he was really asking for. No more
difficult questions. No more trying to reach inside his
heart to uncover everything he kept hidden.
And no more worrying about the real world or either of
their opposite places in it.
Her answer was simple. And the only one she could
give. Because she wasn't strong enough to leave him.
Not when she loved him so damn much it actually hurt.
Okay.
He didn't look convinced. I know it's a lot to ask.
Slowly shifting her weight down his hips to get closer to
the erection that she d felt growing against her
backside during their conversation, she said, I'm all for
fun, as she wriggled down over him. Although in the
name of full disclosure, there is one thing, though, that I
don't think I'm going to be able to promise you.
Tell me, he said, his hips shifting with hers, easily
finding her wet heat.
I don't think I'm going to be able to stop telling you that
I love you.
With that said, she pushed down onto him, taking him
