Chapter Eight

Leo froze, his throat drying. Maybe it was the confession. Or the way the candlelight caught her hair and brought out the red in it. Perhaps it was the flush in her cheeks. Or maybe it was because it had never faded. They had been young, naive and entirely unaware of how the world worked.

But it had always been real.

It still was. Pulsing between them like waves beating the shore—inescapable, powerful, unconquerable.

And for the first time in a long time, he no longer wanted to conquer it. No longer wanted to deny what he’d been trying to for all these years. There were no stranger’s petticoats to bury his love for her in, no amorous words to hide behind.

He shoved back the chair and strode toward her, closing the gap. She rose at the same time or perhaps a beat after. All he knew was they met in a clash. When his hands clasped her face, she gasped, and flung her arms about his neck, her mouth already willing when he pressed his lips to hers.

“I missed you,” he said, voice gravelly.

“I missed you too,” she murmured between kisses.

He pressed his lips to hers, again and again, taking small tastes, reacquainting himself with her while heat surged through him. It was the same but different. Her lips seemed softer. Her body certainly was. Her breasts were pressed hard against him, her thighs molding to his body.

It would kill him, but he would do it if she asked it of him.

“Kiss me, Leo,” she begged.

With a groan, he curved his hands around her waist and drew her hard against him. Air rushed from his lungs at the contact, but he didn’t have time to draw a breath. Not when he had so long apart to make up for. Not when he had Rebecca willing and needy in his arms. She wanted his kisses, wanted his touch, and he’d be damned if he could deny her anything.

The kisses were deeper, more fervent, maybe led by his desperation but he suspected they were equally as wanting. She staggered back a few steps until her back met the wood of the door and she sucked down a breath. He used the resistance behind it to his advantage, allowing him to trail kisses down her neck, across her decolletage and up again while he moved into her, rocking against her. She laced her fingers into his hair.

“Rebecca.” He
