Chapter Ten

He probably had no idea how much his face expressed his longing, desire, and fear. His vulnerability called to her, stirring her own yearning for a deep, binding connection—a soul mate. When she’d married, she assumed she’d found everlasting love, but her husband hadn’t loved her. She suspected he didn’t even like her.

More than an artist and an entrepreneur, she was a passionate woman with a need to be held, hugged, kissed, loved. She desired a man’s touch, company, warmth, strength, devotion.

Not any man’s—this man’s. Sometime between departing Willow Wood, crashing, and reaching the cabin, inner turbulence and ambivalence had calmed. You’re the one I’ve been waiting for.

John was a good person. Honorable and honest. Logic might question how she could be certain when she’d been wrong before, but her prescient, intuitive inner wisdom had no doubts.

He’s the one.

Her inner wisdom had recognized him when she opened her cottage door and found him standing there. Her eyes had deceived her, mistaking him for Mark. But her inner wisdom wouldn’t let her turn away. It urged her to take her pleasure, make lasting memories.

They should have had forever, but it couldn’t be so. His imminent departure would bring sorrow and tears, but that motivated her to capture and savor every precious second.

He stared at her, wary, uncertain, hopeful.

She felt bold, seductive, powerful. Mostly.

She palmed his smooth, heated chest. His heart was racing.

“Wh-what are you doing?” he asked.

“Trying to seduce you.”

For an instant, his face contorted, almost with pain, and her face flooded with heat. Misread this one. She started to drop her hands and back off, find a dark corner to slink into, but then he said with a heart-stopping grin, “Let me help you with that,” and planted his mouth on hers.

She melded into his embrace, craving his attention, his touch, sighing with blissful satisfaction as his soft lips coaxed and caressed while he massaged her bare shoulders.

Then a dam broke. His mouth sought entry, his tongue wrangling with hers. Firm hands gripped her hair as he crushed her against his chest. A rough, raw groan emanated from his throat. She all but swooned in his arms, going pliant, clinging to him.

Her nipples tightened, and her pussy let down a surge of wetness, his desire intensifying her own.

The sarong of the blanket came undone and slipped to her hips, or maybe he’d released it. She tugged at his, and then she pressed her nude body against hot, naked male flesh. His erection throbbed against her abdomen.

He kissed her throat, and she moaned with pleasure, arching her neck. Hot tingles sizzled through her, her pussy drenching as he nuzzled sensitive skin.

They stretched out on the mattress. Firelight danced across his muscular chest and his face, the heated fervor and vulnerable longing causing her breath to catch. Her ex had never, ever looked at her with such desire and devotion. A hot thrill ran through her.

Didn’t every woman wish to be loved, desired by the man in her life? Thinking of him as the man in her life would bring bitter heartbreak.
