Like everything has happened for this moment.

Sighing, I soak in the sensation. Warm, content. Steady.

So, this is what love feels like? It’s too big for words, but I know I can’t live without it now.

“We’re going to go live in a cave ‘til this thing with your father’s sorted out.”

I sit up. “I’m sorry, did you say a cave?”

“A really nice one.”

He’s watching me so intently that it feels like my soul is reaching out to his. But the cave thing has me puzzled. “I’m not following.”

“You will. Now do me a favor and lie down here and stop wiggling, sweetheart, because you’re making my ribs hurt like a mother.”

“Oh, no! I’m so sorry.”

“It’s all right. You’re worth it. I don’t want you anywhere else.”

Allison’s expression is skeptical. “Are you sure this won’t hurt you?”

When I grab her waist, spin her around and push her forward until she’s leaning over the enormous bathroom vanity in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, she stops fretting.

“You’ve driven me mad, prancing around in those little panties. Now hold still and let me have some of your good medicine.”

“I just don’t want?—”

Her grumble turns to a little moan when I dip my fingers in the front of her sexy, pale pink panties—the ones I bought for her.

She moans my name when I find her nipple through the matching naughty little, lace tank top with my other hand.

“Honey, I’m more than capable of stopping if my ribs get too painful, but I doubt they will. Not like this. Not with you slippery as hell and me able to bend you over like this. I was fine last time.”

“Not after.”

I chuckle as my fingers find heaven—the sweet wetness that’s my favorite sensation on Earth. “I got a little carried away when I got on top.”

“Exactly. You’re terrible at judging.”

Nipping her ear, I slip my fingers deep, keeping my other hand busy gliding the calluses of my palm over her peaked nipple. “But it’s so worth it. Now let me take care of my job.”

She shudders in my arms. “How can I say no when you’re doing this to me?”

Eyes beginning to shimmer, she licks her lips, staring at me in the mirror.

Fuck, she’s pretty.

Since we’ve been here at the underground cave resort, the worry lines have gone. Her hair’s always shiny and spilling down her back in the most fistable waves.

I’ve been walking around with a raging hard-on since we got here.

Good thing we have the gigantic complex to ourselves. Minus the staff who bring fresh food and stock the pantry, but they make themselves scarce.

It’s just me and her.
