"Yes"

He pulled her hips forward and lifted the T-shirt, then pushed her knees apart

"Damn"

He dropped to his knees and held on to the s her to lift for hie of the counter, her entire body quivering in anticipation

His mouth covered her sex, and she tilted her head back while he devoured her pussy, sucked on her clit, sending her into wild oblivion with his ue and teeth

This was so reat sex--though it was phenomenal, but the fact that he knew her body so well--that he could take her to the peak--and over--so fast

And he did, swirling his tongue over the knotted bud that she hadn’t touched herself in weeks Maybe she’d been subconsciously waiting for hier She fell apart and cried out, slid her pussy along hisrainstorm of sensation that pounded her with relentless waves of wet pleasure

She was still spas when he stood, unzipped his pants and put on a condoers dipped into her hips as he pulled out and raht as he stared down at the spot where they were joined, then cast his gaze back up at her

"Yes This is what Iinside you" He didn’t slow the pace as he spoke to her in between ragged breaths, and that drove her crazy

She couldn’t breathe, could only hold on for this crazy ride that threatened to steal her sanity She didn’t want it to stop, but the pleasure overwhelain with hard, slaainst her clit, swept in to take her ather her close at the same time

Such sweet depth, such e back this time and she knew it, and that made it all the better for her That he looked her in the eyes, his eht tears to her eyes

"I love you, Spence"

He stilled, stared at her in wonder, then his lips curled upward in the hint of a sain until she couldn’t forht, could only ride the wave as it crested, then crashed, taking her with it She whi her clench around his cock She felt it so deeply, and he cursed, feeling it, too

He ground against her and shuddered, groaning against her lips as he ca with the force of his orgas against her tiain until he finally relaxed

She laid her head against his shoulder, felt the dampness under his shirt as she stroked his back

"I love you, too, Shadoe"

She leaned back and searched his face "What?"

"I love you, too"

They were still connected, intimately She pulsed around hiaze back to her face

It was the most perfect moment ever She couldn’t have asked for a better declaration of love In her kitchen, while he was inside her While she sat on the kitchen counter

He loved her She sighed, feeling more a woman at that moment than she’d ever felt in her entire life So, love-no-one type of man had just told a woman he loved her

She felt rather special about that

"Nohat?" he asked

It figured he wouldn’t knohat to do next

Coh "I have no idea"

THEY ENDED UP SHOWERING--AND MAKING LOVE AGAIN IN THERE They couldn’t keep their hands off each other Then again, four weeks was a long time to be apart They had a lot of time to make up for

And Spence could cook! After they cleaned up he went into her kitchen and dragged out eggs, bacon, and bread and startedbreakfast He ordered her to sit at the table and do nothing

She ignored hilasses, then set the table

"You’re supposed to be resting," he said, shooting her a frown over his shoulder

"I’ve rested plenty I feel great"

His expression changed, his eyes traveling up and down her body "Yeah, you sure do"

She giggled, felt lighthearted and happier than she had since they parted four weeks ago She slid into her chair and watched his

"You can cook"

He kept his back to her while he watched the stove "Well, yeah"

"That surprisestype I ihed "When we all went to live with Grange, he taught us to cook, then left us on our own and told us if anted to eat, we could fix our ownto be our maid, cook, and housekeeper so we’d better learn to take care of ourselves Since none of us were fond of baloney sandwiches twice a day, we figured it out"

She leaned back in the chair and grinned, i about in the kitchen "I’ll bet that was interesting"

"It was We barbecue a lot Make a lot of salads"

She nodded "As long as you s onto both plates, then bacon When the toast popped up, he laid that on their plates, then sat at the table with her She devoured everything on her plate, realizing she was starving and hadn’t really been eating ht," he said, scooping up the last of his eggs with his fork

"I wasn’t hungry"

"Missed me, probably"

"Actually, I was "

His smile died He laid his fork down and put his hand over hers "I’m sorry I should have called you"

Her heart ached at the tenderness in his voice "I could have called you, too I justdidn’t think you wanted to hear froether "Why would you think that?"

"At the hospital You just leaned over and said good-bye, then left"

"They gave me one minute to see you, then the DOJ swept you away in an ambulance for transfer back here I had no time with you"
