Chapter Thirteen

Marcus

Oh dear god. What had he done?

They were collapsed on the floor of his home office, still dewy with sweat and limp with satisfaction. Skye was curled against him, as naturally as though she had always been there, and would always be there. Marcus had his arms wrapped around her, stuck between abject panic and utter contentment.

Despite all of his cynical protestations, his certainty that this would be like any other casual, short-term affair, making love with Skye had been … well, “life-changing” was the only word for it. She was his. He knew as surely as he knew his own name. They belonged to each other, were made for each other, were fucking fated to be together. He hadn’t believed it was possible, and now he couldn’t believe anything else.

The idea shook Marcus to his very core. Was this what his father had felt for his mother? If so, how could he possibly have been with other women, even after his mother died? Marcus couldn’t imagine wanting anyone but Skye ever again. Even if she died—and that idea filled him with a whole new kind of panic—he couldn’t fathom ever wanting someone else after what they had just shared. She was his. His. And he was hers.

She stretched against him. The lacy scrap of fabric she wore over her glorious breasts rubbed against his chest. When she spoke, she sounded drunk with pleasure. “That was … whoa.”

“Whoa,” he agreed.

“I’m still wearing my shoes,” she said, as if realizing for the first time, and smiled when she kicked up her leopard-print boots.

“I’ll get them off. Eventually.”

“Ah, so I’ve earned a round two, then? I’m so glad. Once wouldn’t have been enough.”

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, you know. You, me, this.” She was tracing patterns on his chest with her fingertip. “I know it’s temporary, but I intend to enjoy you as much as I can.”

“Temporary?”

She shrugged. Though she was still curled into him, he could swear he felt her pulling away. “My boss would have my head if he knew I’d slept with someone I’m investigating. And you’re great, obviously, but I think … well, we’re from different worlds. That won’t work in the long term.”

“I could take you out of that world. You’d never have to take the El or go back to that shitty apartment.”

Now she did pull away. “That’s my shitty apartment that you’re talking about. And I happen to like taking the El.”

“That’s crazy. Nobody likes the El.”

She huffed out a breath. “This is exactly what I’m talking about. Our perspectives are so different.”

He couldn’t puzzle out where he had gone wrong. “Are you saying that we shouldn’t see each other again?”

“Not necessarily. I certainly enjoyed ….” A blush rose over her cheeks. “I’m trying to be mature about this. You said temporary. I’m trying to tell you that I’m fine with that.”

With any other woman, he would have been glad to know that she accepted the limitations of the relationship. But this was his mate. He couldn’t fathom ever letting her go.
