Chapter Fifteen

Ben couldn’t control the groan of pleasure that escaped his lips. Megan was in his arms, losing her inhibitions as the kiss got more heated. Since they’d arrived at the cabin, he’d been warring between the elemental need to have her one last time and long-honed instinct of self-preservation telling him to keep his distance. Then she’d told him his scar was an outward sign of his kind heart and touched her petal-soft lips to the jagged line. She was beautiful, inside and out. He was drawn to her inner spirit as much as he was to her physical appearance. Being with her gave him a sense of peace and calm like he’d never known before. He appreciated it even more now than he had when they were younger—and he wanted her more now than he’d ever wanted anything before.

He ran his fingers over the exposed column of her neck, down her arms, and up her sides. He couldn’t stop touching her. Couldn’t get enough of her. He explored her mouth with his tongue, loving the taste of red wine and something sweet that was entirely her own.

“Meg.” He pushed her back gently, and the sight of her plump lips and lust-filled eyes undid him. “Come up to the bedroom with me. Let me love you.”

She nodded, and he slipped one arm behind her knees and the other around her shoulders, cradling her as he stood.

“Tell me what you want, sweetheart. I need you to be sure.” He was already walking toward the stairs, but if she told him to stop, he wouldn’t take another step—even though he was sincerely hoping she didn’t.

“I want tonight,” she said, searching his face as though she was trying to memorize his every feature. “I want you, Ben. Need you.” The way she purred his name sent a shot of lust chasing through his veins. She wanted him. He was a far cry from the abandoned and soul-sick boy he once was, but hearing someone he cared about to say they needed him was like winning the lottery. He stared down at her heart-shaped face, those glorious hazel eyes fixed on his. If he could choose any woman in the world to be with, it would be Megan, even if it couldn’t last. Even if he could let himself believe that hers wasn’t a love that would fade or dissipate when things got hard, they still couldn’t make things work between them. His job was just too dangerous. He’d hate thinking about her worrying and wondering when he was off on a covert mission. Or worse, what if he died and left her grieving? No, his lifestyle wouldn’t be fair to Meg. And if he was with her, he wouldn’t be able to focus on his work, which was the thing that had given his life meaning over the past several years. If Meg were his woman, he’d want to spend every waking hour with her. Make her breakfast before she headed off to work, then meet her at home at the end of their day.
