An earth-shattering orgasm snatched my breath away, and all I could do was curl my fingers into the sheet, gasping for air.

This passion between us was all-consuming.

He was all-consuming. He had me on my knees, continuing to ride out his pleasure behind me, his hand sliding up and down my spine. He didn’t seem to want our love-making to end either, and was as determined as me to stay locked together as one.

My arms and legs were shaking from enduring all he’d unleashed and I could no longer hold myself up. I collapsed onto the bed.

“Not yet,” he teased, and rolled us over.

With my back against his chest and my thighs splayed over his, clenching him tightly, I felt him reach low and squeeze my clit beneath his palm. My breathing became ragged again, my body yearning for more of this endless pleasure.

But then the sensitivity became too much and I rested my hand on his to pause him.

“Take your hand away,” he whispered huskily.

“I’m not sure—”

“I’ll know when you’re ready again.”

I trembled through his titillation.

“This is where we begin to trust each other, Raquel. Do you think you can do that with me?”

“Yes.”I’ll try.

My hand slipped from his and I brought it up to ease my beaded nipples, soothing the ache.

He pressed firmly against me and the pressure made me throb deliciously as my thoughts drifted, the call of sleep seducing me. In that moment it felt as though he knew my soul and with him teasing my clit just so, bringing on waves of pleasure,he did.

This level of devotion I was feeling was more than I imagined possible. Still, I wasn’t ready to fall so quickly. I’d not let myself bethatvulnerable.

I could enjoy this, though. Revel in this enticing man and use these intimate moments to heal that part of me that had been hurt.

The rest of me…my heart and my thoughts, were walled up safe from anyone who might try to get close.

A shiver ran up my spine when I felt his fingertip begin massaging my clit. He was insatiable…the way he played with me felt incredible and with him inside me still, his cock growing harder by the second, I surrendered to the heat burning inside me once more.

When his left hand reached up and squeezed my nipple, he sent me hurtling toward another orgasm and I shuddered violently in his arms. My head crashed back onto his chest as I caught my breath, panting as my heartbeat slowed to normal.

Finally, he lay alongside me, his body’s heat seeping into mine as he kissed the nape of my neck, still deep inside me and throbbing deliciously.

“I didn’t know it could be like this,” I admitted.

“Even more than this, Raquel.” His lips pressed against my shoulder with affection.

Astor had restored my ability to feel…but with the opening of my heart came the greatest risk—I was afraid I was already falling for him. I rolled away from his warmth and buried my face in a pillow.

All this intimacy was forcing my vulnerability to the surface and I couldn’t let him see it. Though from the way his fingers trailed through my hair, I sensed he was weakening, too.

IAWOKE TO FIND MYSELFalone in bed.

Rolling onto my side, I reached for my Chopard and after a quick glance, tossed it back onto the bedside table. We’d slept all night. Or at least I had and it had been one of those deep sleeps that I rarely experienced. Having Raquel here was making a difference.

I ran my hand along the sheets where she’d lain next to me, feeling bothered by her absence. In the past, seeing her gone would have brought me relief, since there’d be no need for small talk as I schemed a way to get her out. But now, with Raquel, I hated thinking that she’d changed her mind about staying and left.

Lifting the sheet, I stared down at my erection.

Last night…
