I look up, my murmured, ‘Yes,’ vibrating around his length as his body pulses, his release close. So close.

‘Get up here,’ he grinds out.

I draw back slowly, giving him one last stroke – tight, purposeful – relishing the sound that rips from his throat, the taste of his impending climax on my tongue, the way he’s coming apart just for me.

Then he’s grabbing my waist, thrusting me onto the table.

‘You’ll be the death of me,’ he hisses, and my inner devil preens as he tears my knickers away.

His gaze rakes over me and I lean back, soaking it in. There’s reverence there, but it’s laced with something darker. Possessive. Intense.

His hands trail up my thighs, fingers skimming between my legs slowly, torturously, and I part for him. Letting him see how wet I am. How desperate.

He thumbs my clit, his eyes burning into his touch, and my hips roll with my groan.More, please more.And he answers my silent plea, his fingers dipping inside as his thumb continues to roll.

‘So fucking beautiful,’ he repeats. His other hand smooths up my side to cup my breast, teasing the pleading peak before his mouth comes down to greet it. He draws it in – tongue flicking, mouth sucking. His teeth nip, gently… then harder.Oh,yes. I clutch his shoulders, my body shamelessly arching, urging him for more.

He palms my breast while still feasting on the other, his tantalising caress between my legs pushing me to the brink. Every limb tightens. I’m going, and I want him with me.

I sink my hands into his hair, yanking every strand as I tug him to my mouth.

‘I want you, Theo. I want you now.’

He plunders my lips, all heat and hunger as he spreads my thighs with his body and tugs me to him. His tip nudges at my entrance and his head rocks back, eyes locking with mine… this is it. God, yes. This is it. No going back.

‘Take me.’

He thrusts forward – one powerful stroke – and he’s buried deep. I see it in his eyes, feel it in my heart. He’s taking my all, in the most beautiful, soul-crushing way. And I refuse to fear it.

I wrap my legs around him, arms too, pulling him impossibly closer as I find his mouth, claiming his kiss as he claims my body and more.

I gasp his name, open my eyes, and find his still blazing down on me. It’s everything.He’severything. This man I once thought I’d lost forever – now, he’s here, inside me, around me, mine.

For tonight, at least, he’s mine.

And I let go of everything but this.

This moment.

This man.

And as we claim the stars together, I know they’ll stay with me forever…

Even ifhewon’t.

THEO

I wake to the soft tap of keys.

Not a sound I’ve ever woken up to before.

It takes a second to place it.

Then I remember.

I’m not alone.Sadie.
