She
met
his
gaze,
which
was
illuminated
by
the
moonlight.
“Thanks
for
the
flowers.
They’re
beautiful.
You
didn’t
have
to
send
them.”

“I
wanted
to
send
them,
Shelly.”

He
drew
in
a
deep
breath,
and
she
saw
that
his
gaze
was
glued
to
her
mouth
just
as
hers
was
glued
to
his.
She

couldn’t
help
but
think
of
the
way
he
tasted,
the
hunger
and
intense
desire
that
was
still
blatant
in
his
loins,
making
his
erection
even
bigger.
Their
need
for
each
other
had
never
been
this
sharp,
all-consuming.

“I
want
you,
Shelly,”
he
whispered
gently,
pulling
her
down
to
the
blanket
with
him.

She
went
willingly,
without
any
resistance,
letting
him
know
that
she
wanted
the
intimacy
of
this
night
as
much
as
he

did.
She
wanted
to
lose
herself
in
him
in
the
same
way
he
wanted
to
lose
himself
in
her.
Totally.
Completely.

She
didn’t
say
a
word
as
he
gently
pushed
her
robe
from

her
shoulders,
and
then
pulled
her
nightgown
over
her
head.
Nor
did
she
utter
a
sound
when
his
fingers
caressed
her

breasts
then
tweaked
her
nipples
before
moving
lower,

past
her
rib
cage
and
her
stomach
until
he
reached
the

area
between
her
legs.

When
he
touched
her
there,
dipped
into
her
warmth,
her

breathing
quickened
and
strained
and
she
almost
cried
out.

“You’re
so
wet,”
his
voice
rumbled
against
her
lips.
“All
I
could
think
about
over
the
last
couple
of
days
is
devouring
you,
wanting
the
taste
of
you
on
my
tongue.

Heat
built
within
her
body
as
he
pushed
her
even
more
over
the
edge,
making
her
whimper
in
pleasure.
And
when

pleasure
erupted
inside
her
with
the
force
of
a
tidal
wave,
he
was
there
to
intensify
it.

He
kissed
the
scream
of
his
name
from
her
lips,
again

taking
control
of
her
mouth.
The
kiss
was
sensual,
the
taste
erotic
and
it
fueled
her
fire
even
more.
She
had
ten
years
to
make
up
for,
and
somehow,
she
knew,
he
was
well
aware
of
that.

When
her
body
ceased
its
trembling,
he
pulled
back,

ending
their
kiss,
and
stood
to
remove
his
clothes.
She
looked
up
at
him
as
he
tossed
his
T-shirt
aside.
He

appeared
cool
and
in
control
as
he
undressed
in
front
of
her,
but
she
knew
he
was
not.
His
gaze
was
on
her,
and
she
again
she
connected
with
it.
It
felt
like
a
hot
caress.

She
watched
as
he
eased
down
his
jeans,
and
she

gasped.
Her
mouth
became
moist,
her
body
got
hungrier.
He
wasn’t
wearing
any
underwear
and
his
erection
sprang
forth—full
of
life,
eager
to
please
and
ready
to
go.
The
tip

seemed
to
point
straight
at
her,
and
the
only
thing
she
could

think
about
was
the
gigantic
orgasm
she
knew
Dare
would
give
her.

Anticipation
surged
within
her
when
he
kicked
his
jeans
aside
and
stood
before
her
completely
naked.
And
her
senses
began
overflowing
with
the
scent
of
an
aroused
man.

An
aroused
man
who
was
ready
to
mate
with
an
aroused
woman.

She
then
noticed
the
condom
packet
he
held
in
his
hand.
It
seemed
he
had
planned
her
seduction
down
to
the
last

detail.
She
watched
as
he
readied
himself
to
keep
her

safe.
Inhaling
deeply
when
the
task
was
done,
he
lifted
his
head
and
met
her
gaze.

“This
is
where
you
tell
me
to
stop,
Shelly,
and
I
will.”

She
knew
him,
trusted
him
and
realized
that
what
he’d
said
was
true.
No
matter
how
much
he
wanted
her,
he
would

never
force
himself
on
her.
But
then,
he
need
not
worry

about
her
turning
him
down.
Her
body
was
on
fire
for
him,

the
area
between
her
legs
throbbed.
He
had
given
her
relief
earlier,
but
that
hadn’t
been
enough.
She
wanted
the
same
thing
he
wanted.

Deep
penetration.

They
had
discovered
a
long
time
ago
that
they
were
two

intensely
sexual
human
beings.
Anytime
he
had
wanted
her,
all
he
had
to
do
was
touch
her
and
he
would
have
her
hot,

wet
and
pulsing
within
minutes.
And
anytime
they
mated,

neither
had
control
other
than
to
make
sure
she
was

protected
from
pregnancy,
except
for
that
one
time
when

they
hadn’t
even
had
control
for
that.

When
he
dropped
down
to
rejoin
her
on
the
blanket,
she

drew
in
a
deep
breath
and
automatically
wrapped
her
arms
around
him
as
he
poised
his
body
over
hers.
He
leaned

down
and
placed
a
kiss
on
her
lips.

“Thank
you
for
my
son.”

A
groan
gently
left
her
throat
when
she
felt
the
head
of
him
pressed
against
her
entrance.
Hot
and
swollen.
He
nudged
her
legs
apart
a
little
wider
with
his
knees
as
his
gaze

continued
to
hold
hers.
“Ten
years
of
missing
you
and
not
sharing
this,
Shelly.”

And
then
he
entered
her,
slowly,
methodically,
trembling
as
his
body
continued
to
push
into
hers
as
he
lifted
her
hips.
He
let
out
a
deep
guttural
moan.
In
no
time
at
all
he
was

planted
within
her
to
the
hilt.
The
muscles
of
her
body
were
clenching
him.
Milking
him.
Reclaiming
him.

She
held
his
gaze
and
when
he
smiled,
so
did
she.

And
then
he
began
an
easy
rhythm.
Slowly,
painstakingly,
he
increased
the
pace.
And
with
each
deep
thrust,
he
