Oh, this man. His mouth traced wet heat through me, tongue parting my lips and seeking refuge and answers. We could use whispers and promises, words and apologies, to talk our way through this, but instead it was his tongue that said, “I’m sorry.” The brush of his fingertips against the soft skin of my collarbone that said, “I was wrong.” The press of his hardness against my hip that spoke aloud the words, “I want you.”

Words weren’t enough. And yet words were also too much. My mind shook with the gravity of this, with the hush of his breath against my ear, the low groan of satisfaction when my hands roamed over his spine and down to his muscled ass, his hitched breath as our kisses deepened and he entered a new state, one that burned our skin with desire.

Giving in meant erasing five years of pain and misunderstanding, of cruel abandonment and loss. So much loss. And yet maybe—maybe, oh, so gingerly—we could mitigate the loss right here, right now, with a coming together that wouldn’t be enough to atone for the last five years, but that was an acknowledgement of the pain of missing each other?

Ravaged by my own doubt, my rational mind fought for its place inside me as Liam’s hands worked to unmoor it, setting it adrift in a sea of righteous thought that knew this was somehow wrong, that I should exercise my “no,” that I should cling to the pain and misery and hold out for Liam’s tortured apology for what he did to me. To our baby. To—the world.

And that was when the thin line connecting my rational mind to the world snapped with the tiniest of sounds, the noise so soft you could confuse it with the whimper from the back of my throat as Liam reached under my shirt and flattened his palm against my belly, moving up under my bra and finding one nipple.

Alight with the understanding that all my fantasies, fevered wet dreams, and tormented imaginings were about to come true, my body decided for me, sitting up as Liam coaxed off my shirt, then with a flick of fingers and wrist unbound my breasts, flinging the bra to one side with a practiced hand. In the moonlight his eyes shone with appreciation, then his face dipped down, that warm, eager mouth taking one nipple in and sending me to the moon.

“Oh my God,” I whispered, the words catching in my throat, the end stuttered and rough. My hips arched to meet his body, some part, any part, so that our heat remained in constant flow. As his tongue turned my skin hard as pebble, my hands sank into his hair. He gave my other breast the same attention, licking and blowing lightly, making my skin react at his command.

We were beyond choice and decision now.

He pulled up to kiss me, lips sucking and demanding, tongue insistent, taking as much flesh as he could like an explorer, claiming lands for an entity in power.
