It’s a long while before I come back to myself.

When I do, Declan is still on top of me, still inside me, and speaking in Gaelic, his voice a guttural rasp next to my ear.

We’re both panting. Shaking. Covered in sweat. My trembling legs are wrapped around his waist, his big rough hand around my throat.

It feels as if we’ve just survived a bombing.

He softly kisses both my cheeks. The corners of my mouth. My jaw, neck, and shoulders. Propping himself up on his elbows, he tangles both hands into my damp hair and holds my head as he looks into my eyes.

“Hullo.”

Feeling strangely shy, I murmur, “Hi.”

Has he always been this beautiful? Have those blue eyes always had that tender shine? I can’t remember. Time seems split into before this moment and after, like we’ve broken the laws of physics and arrived here in our own little bubble, shipwrecked on an island where nothing ever existed before.

Where no one ever existed but the two of us.

His voice thick, he says, “I didn’t mean for that to happen.”

My laugh is weak. “You could’ve fooled me.”

“I meant I planned on feeding you first.”

“It’s okay. You couldn’t help it. I know I’m irresistible.”

He starts to laugh this lovely, husky laugh that makes me feel warm all over. He withdraws and rolls onto his back, taking me with him, tucks my head into the space between his shoulder and neck, then winds his arms around me and holds me tight.

His sigh is deep and full of satisfaction.

I ask tentatively, “Is it okay if I talk now? Um…sir?”

He peppers sweet kisses all over my forehead. “You’re the most amazing woman who ever lived.”

“I’m so glad you’re finally getting caught up with the program, gangster.”

He reaches down and smartly swats my ass.

“Excuse me. Sir.”

“That’s better.”

He’s trying to be stern, but I hear the pleasure in his voice. I hear the warmth and softness underneath. It makes something hard in the middle of my chest feel squishy.

“Aye, you can talk now. Try not to slice me up with that razor-blade tongue.”

“I’ll do my best.” Hiding my face in his neck, I close my eyes. “Are we still doing the honesty thing? Because I might have something to put out there.”

Hearing the emotion in my voice, he stills beneath me. He waits patiently until I gather enough courage to say, “I’m no virgin. I’m sure that’s obvious. There have been a lot of men.”

“There’s no need to confess a number. I’d never ask.”

“I wasn’t going to.”

He exhales in relief. “Thank god.”

“May I continue?”

“Aye. I think.”

“Don’t be so worried. I’m about to give you a compliment.”

“Ah. In that case, please proceed.”

My arms are draped over his head, and I’m still bound at the wrists by the handcuffs, so instead of giving him a sharp thump on the chest, the best I can do is tug on a lock of his hair.

“As I was saying.” I clear my throat. “I, um…Jesus. Okay, here’s the thing: have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?”

There’s a baffled pause.
