Her hand went to the tie on her robe, and it was a shock to realize that she was prepared to open her clothing at this h

There were no thoughts of that symphath, no anxiety over whether it would hurt, no sense that she ret this There was just a resonant peace in theneed that thishat she had waited so patiently for

They were both ready

Tohr up and down and his hands curling into fists "I&039;ht now Leave the training center and I&039;ll stay here"

His voice arped, so low and deep that his words were nearly unintelligible

Hers, on the other hand, was very clear: "I shall not depart fro? If you don&039;t go I&039; to be inside you in another minute and a half"

She kicked her chin up "I want you in rowl rose up from him, the sort of sound that, had she heard it in another context, nificent, aroused , further preparing to accept hientle as he scooped down and picked her up, swinging her legs high and catching them in the crook of his arm And he was not slow as he went forth toward the pool - as if the idea of getting the house was simply too much to bother with

Whilst he strode off with her captured like a prize, she stared up at his face His broere down hard, his h with anticipation He wanted this Needed this

And there was no going back

Not that she would have chosen to She loved the way he h she supposed it was treacherous to take compliment in the desperation hich he took possession of her He was still in love with his dead h That was, mayhap, all she would ever have - and yet, as she had told him, so much more than she could ever have prayed for

Upon his will, the glass door to the pool&039;s entry hall opened wide for them, and as it eased shut in their wake, she heard its lock slip into place Then they were traveling fast through the anteroo the corner into the pool proper, the waruid -

When she ain and then put her down on one of the wooden benches, laying her on her back He was true to his word He didn&039;t wait or hesitate; he arched over her and fused their s in between hers

Wrapping her arms around the nape of his neck, she held hiue entered her The kissing was glorious and consu the tie of her robe

And then his hands were upon her Through the linen shift, his palms burned as they stroked her breasts and continued lower Parting her thighs even farther for hiot what she wanted, his touch going to her core, e of release - but no farther

"I want to kiss you," he growled against her ht he was kissing her?

Before she could respond, he lifted his hips froency at the front of his leathers

And then soainst her

Tohrment&039;s head dropped down beside hers as they were joined, and then he stoppedand acco his size bordered on painful - not that she would have traded it for the world

Groaning deep in his throat, his body started to ing against hers as he gripped her outer thighs and squeezed With the great wave of passion o&039;ertaking thenified, her mind at once fully present and totally bloay by theher

Awareness was a gradual, unsettling burden

He was still dressed, and so was she, the robe as yet draped upon her shoulders and ar into her shoulder blades and the back of her head And the air around her was not as warht Even though they had shared so much before, these reat divide

She wondered how that would make him feel -

He just looked at her

"Are you okay?" he said

As her voice appeared to have deserted her, she nodded, even though she wasn&039;t sure what she felt Physically, her body was fine - in fact, it continued to welcome the presence inside of its recesses But until she kneas, she couldn&039;t testify to anything else
