Love's Road Home (32 page)

Nope, forget it. One taste was definitely not enough.

But she somehow figured Tom would forgive her for what she was doing.

Beth moved between his legs and licked him again, a little rougher this time. He was warm and smooth in her hand.

"Mm. Oh, sweetheart." With a groan he awakened, and she felt the fingers of his uninjured hand wind though her hair, gently yet insistently guiding her head up and down in a rhythmic motion. "Yeah, just like that."

She continued the intimate stimulation, loving the sounds of appreciation that came from him when she alternated the pressure of her lips, tongue, and fingers. Intent on Tom’s enjoyment, and thoroughly adding to her own as she took him closer to the edge, Beth was surprised when he pulled her away from his straining manhood.

"What—"

He pulled her up for a soft kiss. "I want you with me." He kissed her again, this time with an intensity that threatened to set her ablaze.

Moving into position above him, Beth slid down to take him inside, no barrier between them. Oh, yeah, what a way to burn.

She leaned down to press tender kisses against Tom’s lips, throat, and chest. Her hips ground against his, moving faster and faster, seeking to bring them both to the place they could only find together.

Loud explosions and multicolored streaks from the capital city’s nearby Fourth of July celebration turned the room into a kaleidoscope of sensations. But no sounds or light displays could distract Beth from the man on the bed beneath her, or the things he made her feel.

As a powerful climax overcame her, she let herself go, delighting in the sound of Tom’s pleasure following close behind hers.

Collapsing on his chest, she made sure not to bump his wounded arm. Beth savored the feel of his strong body along hers and the light kisses he pressed to her hair, knowing one thing for sure.

Until the day she died, she’d be grateful for whatever time she spent with Tom. She loved him with all her heart, and she would deal with whatever circumstances his career brought. Whether he was in the studio or on tour, she would be there, supporting him and encouraging him. He had risked everything for her, and she’d willingly do the same for him. She would be strong for him, and for them.

Being on the road again wouldn’t be hard, Beth thought as she slid to Tom’s side and snuggled closer, absorbing his warmth.

Because when she was with Tom, she was home.
