Seven

Instead of going straight back to their hotel, Justin took his time and drove around the city of San Antonio, pointing to several interesting sites, including the Alamodome, where sports events were played. He also drove by the Alamo and promised he’d take Heather there tomorrow.

When he’d said the word promise, she’d looked at him, and they’d shared a smile—they both knew the meaning underlying the word. A companionable silence fell over them as they arrived back at their suite.

“Would you like something to drink?” he asked, indicating the wet bar in the corner of the room.

She shook her head, and auburn curls danced around her face. “Oh, no. I’m still full from dinner. That was so nice.” Her deep-green eyes shone with pleasure.

Justin was pleased she’d enjoyed herself. He walked over to her and drew her against him, rubbing her shoulders with his hands. She stiffened slightly, but didn’t pull away, and just having his arms around her felt like a victory.

“It’s been quite a day. Are you tired?”

“Very,” she admitted. “What I really want is to get out of these heels.”

He playfully wriggled his eyebrows and gave her a devious grin. “I can help with that.” She gave a squeal, as he dipped and swiftly lifted her in his arms.

“Justin!” she screamed as she clasped her hands around his neck.

Chuckling, he walked into their bedroom and sat on the bed, keeping her in his lap. He removed first one heel, then the other. She was still holding onto him.

He looked at her then, and his expression turned serious. “Ah, sweetheart, I’ve missed you,” he murmured, and he nuzzled her neck with his cheek.

“Justin.” His name came out as just a whisper from her lips.

“Hmm?” His hand caressed her back, then slid into her hair. She tilted her head as his lips explored her skin. “I love the way you smell,” he whispered. Just like he remembered, like delicate roses. Her scent enveloped him, playing with his senses.

His lips explored her neck, then her chin. He kissed his way to her mouth, then stopped before taking it. Lifting his head, he looked deeply into her eyes. She didn’t have to say anything. Desire flamed in her pupils, and he just about came undone. He touched her mouth briefly with his thumb. “Only a kiss,” he whispered, holding her gaze captive.

He waited a millisecond for her to protest, then lowered his mouth and took hers in an achingly hungry kiss, devouring her lips. Wriggling in his arms, she made a tiny sound of surrender. Justin felt his heartbeat take off like a rocket, sending his control into a spin. He slid both hands behind her head, and held her face still. Time ceased to exist as he ravished her lips, tasting her, remembering when he’d had the right to kiss her at will, to make love to her without thinking about anything but the erotic pleasure he could give her.

You gave up that right when you walked away.

The thought hit him like a cold splash of water in the face.
