“Shay, I’ve missed you,” she panted out as his mouth claimed her. “So much!”

A deep groan rumbled into her from his lips, and she knew that attempting to hold on to any restraint was a fool’s errand. So she dug her fingertips into his scalp and shoved herself up beneath him to bring his mouth as tightly against her aching core as possible. She shuddered uncontrollably as pleasure galloped toward her, and when his lips closed over her and sucked—

“Yes!” Her hips bucked, and she writhed with joy, only to find herself pinned down against the mattress by his large hands on her hips so he could toy with her again. “Oh, please yes!” She could barely keep her breath as his tongue thrust relentlessly into her and brought her to the edge of release. “Make me yours again.” She spread her thighs as wide as possible to grant him access to every secret bit of her. “Take me now—please!”

Her begging was silenced by a fierce kiss as he lunged up the length of her body and seized her mouth with his. Immediately, she felt the hard length of him plunge inside her, her eager body clenching hard around him in demand to be satisfied. He thrust harder and faster than ever before, driving them both quickly toward release, and the desperate rhythm of their greedy bodies made tears of primal need fall down her cheeks.

She shattered with a high-pitched cry, and overwhelming pleasure engulfed her. She could do nothing more than cling helplessly to him and let the tears of joy come. He continued toride her pleasure until, with a last deep thrust of his hips, he jerked hard inside her, and the hot rush of his release surged into her. His body strained as he fought to pour every bit of himself into her, and her folds quivered greedily to claim every delicious drop.

When he collapsed on top of her, still buried deeply inside her, and fought to regain his breath, Sophie placed a tender kiss to his heated temple, where she could taste the salty perspiration on his skin.

She smiled and flippantly purred, “Whatever you do, Mr. Alton, don’t tell my husband what we’ve done.”

Shay laughed and rolled onto his side, and when she felt his thick length slip from her tight warmth, she immediately longed to have him inside her again. His hand continued to stroke over her body as if he simply couldn’t believe she was real and with him again. But then, she could barely believe it herself. And the way he gazed at her, his eyes bright and glowing…

He loved her. There was no hiding it.

Yet her heart tore, because even now, after all they had shared, he still wouldn’t let himself admit it.
