until her nails started to dig into his skin.
Please, Josh. The words tore from her as she tugged his open
shirt over his shoulders. She wasn t even sure what she was asking
for. One more moment? One more night? Forgiveness? Or for the

love she knew she was equally unlikely to get? It didn t matter.
Tonight, she needed him to be there and he was. She needed to give
what had been trapped inside her, locked away inside him. She had
to. Even if she didn t have the courage to ask why.
He stopped kissing, stopped everything, to look in her eyes.
But she didn t want to know what he was looking for. Tired of guilt,
tired of being afraid of what he d find if he would just allow himself
to see, she closed her lids and kissed him again. Please.
For precious seconds he remained still. Silent. For a heartbeat,
she thought he might leave her, that he d peel her off his lap and tell
her how close they d come to a mistake. It was nearly enough to
make her cry& Until he did the unexpected and lifted her into his
arms.
When she felt the softness of her bed at her back, she finally
released the breath she hadn t meant to hold in. She never quite got
it back again. Josh lay down next to her, untying her sash to find the
still-damp skin beneath. Soon, she was bare on the bed beneath him,
shuddering a breath when their skin met, trembling where his
fingers touched. He tested her flesh with his hands while she tried
desperately to hold in the whimpers he seemed determined to draw
out. Then he began tasting&
He nibbled her ribs, one at a time, grasping her hips in each
hand and lifting her so he could wreak havoc on her vulnerable
belly. Her breasts grew warm and swollen under his ministrations,
becoming so sensitive that all he had to do was breathe on them to
make her quiver. All the while, she smoothed her palms over his
shoulders and the muscles of his flanks, learning the hard contours

and shapes of the man, so different from the lean lines and sharp
angles of his youth. She couldn t touch or taste enough of him. Her
senses were starved for him and it was a special kind of torture to
know she d never have her fill.
He lay above her, gently rocking her with his every motion. He
slipped his arms under her shoulders, cradling her against him and
entangling his hands once more in her hair. He kissed her chin, her
cheeks, each eye, her nose and with a satisfied smile, lowered his
lips to hers to take her over completely.
He made love to her with his kiss, and if the rest of her wasn t
still tingling, she d have even forgotten she had a body. He was still
rocking them, only now he used one hand to mold her side to him,
cupping her bottom before steering her thigh to open further and
wrap around him. He followed suit with the other, so fluidly she
hadn t been aware until she felt herself pressed intimately against
him.
Then, suddenly, every one of her molecules were completely
aware of him and only him. Nothing else in the universe could
possibly exist other than this moment and the heated expression in
his eyes. God help her, but she d been waiting to see it her whole
life. And she had very little hope of ever seeing it again.
Once will have to be enough, she thought, as she felt her body
welcoming him home to her. He murmured into the hollow of her
throat, words she could barely understand. Inside, her heart broke a
little, the curl of hope extinguished before she had a chance to know
it was there.
Just this once, he murmured again.

She clutched him tighter, pushing the whispers out of her mind.
If she had her way, she d never let him go. But she couldn t hold
him forever. The moment would come when he d leave. And she d
have to pretend it wasn t killing her. At least when he was gone,
she d have this moment for the rest of her life. She mourned losing
him even as she felt and followed the rhythm he set. She arched into
his deep strokes, felt the tension in her body coil tighter and tighter.
