Chapter Five

He held his woman in his arms. She felt so blessedly familiar, if too thin. The memorable smell of fresh apples wafted to his nose as her damp hair dried, and beneath was a scent that was all Claire. Something warm with a touch of spice.

Despite the enormity of what she’d shared and the depth of his self-recrimination, his body stirred in another way, at odds with the grief and tenderness in his belly. Chemistry tended to suppress sadness and replace it with something more palatable. He knew it was an age-old response but tried to suppress his need. Stop thinking with his dick.

Did she mean that she’d trust him to pick up where they’d left off, let him make it up to her as best he could? She wasn’t running away or heaving his ass out the door. And he’d have allowed it, a just punishment for what he’d done, now he’d explained and apologized. Or maybe he wouldn’t. This was what was best for her. Them. Being together.

“Claire?”

She stirred and he regretted his impatience, but he’d wasted so much time.

Sitting up, she pushed a lock of the thick, black hair he loved to run his fingers through away from her face. Those startlingly crystal gray eyes stared into his soul. The tip of her nose was red, her face puffy from crying, and she was still the most beautiful woman he knew.

She set her full mouth against his lips, a tentative press that evoked an instant, erotic rush of memories and need. Containing himself, he allowed her to pursue the kiss, hoping she was accepting him again.

Her breath heated his skin when she trailed her lips over his jaw before returning to his mouth. She murmured, “You taste the same.”

Lust boiled through his veins and addled his senses, but he held on, giving her free rein until he sensed her need building. Her breasts pushed against him, nipples poking like diamonds through the soft fabric of her robe, and the hitching of her hips and subtle squirming on his rebellious cock signaled to him.

His alpha side broke loose, and he gathered her up and eased her under him, taking over the kiss, parting her lips with his tongue and tasting her for the first time since his dreams. Tearing free to breathe, he rasped, “You want this, sweetheart?”

A gasp of sound, something between passion and pain, escaped her and he froze. But she blinked her eyes wide, pupils dilated and nearly mindless, saying, “More than anything.”

Fully unleashed, he worked his way down the graceful length of her throat, nuzzling and then nipping the pulse point at the base that hammered away beneath his lips. The robe parted before his sensual assault and he kissed over the swell of her breasts, relishing her shiver.

Catching a beaded nipple in his teeth, he bit down gently, the way she liked it, and was rewarded with a throaty murmur of approval. He cupped the other mound in his hand, filling his palm with the rounded weight.
