Faster and faster, until her breath was coming in short gasps, and she clung to him, her hands gripping his shoulders like her life depended on it.
“I’m close,” she murmured, her eyes glazed. Tom had never seen anything so beautiful as this woman losing herself to the ecstasy that he was giving her.
She rode his hand, lips parted, thighs trembling with tension. He groaned, his own erection painfully throbbing against his pants. If he didn’t bury himself inside of her right now, he was going to go insane.
He withdrew his hand. She gave a sob. “Oh, God, don’t stop. Please...”
He kicked off his combat fatigues. “Darling, if I don’t get inside you now, I’m going to lose my mind.”
She groaned, feverish with desire. “Hurry up, then.”
“I don’t have a condom.”
“I’m on the pill. It’s okay.”
“You sure?”
She nodded, her arms already reaching for him, clawing at his shirt.
“Good, because when you explode, I want it to be around me.”
He peeled it off, not caring where it landed. They crashed together again, skin against skin, tongue melding with tongue.
After another mind-blowing kiss, his positioned himself between her legs. “Ready?”
“So ready,” she gasped.
He slid inside, just a little, trying to go slow. He didn’t want to hurt her. He needn’t have worried, she arched upwards, impaling herself on his cock, gripping him with her legs. He sucked in a breath at the sudden tightness, heat radiating into his groin and through his body.
Holy fuck, she felt good.
He thrust harder, feeling her fingers digging into his butt, drawing him in. He bit back a growl as all self-control vanished. Soon he was grinding against her, plunging in to the hilt, floating on the sensations building inside of him.
He heard her cry out and knew she was going to come. Thank God, because he was about to explode too. He rode her to a frenzy, until they were one gyrating, sweaty mess of uncontrolled desire.
It shouldn’t feel this good. They’d only known each other for a few days, but he felt like they were joined, connected by some mysterious force that bound them together. Not even a deadly secret or a civil war could prevent this from happening.
He pushed harder, deeper until she was crying out his name with almost every breath.
“Tom!” she cried, convulsing around him. He felt her whole body shake as her orgasm hit. And he watched, in wonder, as she came undone.
It was so damn sexy, it sent him careening over the edge. The hot tension released, and fireworks exploded behind his eyes. He clutched onto her as he rode it out, shuddering with every stroke. His entire body tingled with electricity, he was a live wire, his nerves firing faster than an AK-47.
He tensed as the current swept over him. He kept pounding into her until he couldn’t anymore, and then he collapsed. He felt her heart hammering beneath his.
He leaned in and kissed her with a sense of wonder. She smiled against his lips and kissed him back. Tenderly, sensually. For a brief moment, Tom felt something close to heaven.
CHAPTER 26
Hannah woke to a high-pitched wailing. She sat up, disoriented. “What’s that?”
Tom was already on his feet, yanking on his cargo pants. The heat between them from only hours ago vanished beneath the shriek of the siren.
His jaw was tight. “That’s the air raid alert. We’re under attack. Get dressed. Now.”
She rolled out of bed, then stumbled toward the bathroom, her heart racing.
The explosion hit a second later.
