Page 10 of His Witness To Save

They stood there for a long time, just the two of them in her parent's backyard. The whole world fell away for them. All that mattered was this moment they had together.

Brie finally calmed down a little and said, in a voice thick with tears, "I thought you'd never come back."

"I'm sorry," was all Mack could whisper.

She said again, "I called so many times."

"I know. I know. I'm sorry, Brie. My love, I'm so sorry."

Brie gasped and looked up at him.

He continued, "Yes, I love you. I've been stupid, and it took being away from you to realize it. I love you so so much."

"Oh Mack," she cried, "I love you, too. Every day, I have loved you."

Mack cupped her chin and leaned down to kiss her softly, once, twice, until she yielded, and he felt her open up to him.

The kiss was electric, unlike anything Brie had ever felt before. She felt it all the way down to her belly, and she gasped into his mouth.

She could not quite believe that a man could make her feel this way, and she nearly cried with joy.

She kissed him back deeply, sweetly, reluctant to break the spell until he leaned back gently, smiling at her gently.

CHAPTER TEN

Brie eased her fingers around Mack's neck as she gazed up at him. She could barely believe he was actually here. She kissed him gently and laced her fingers through his hair.

They were in her dimly lit bedroom.

After they'd held each other and kissed in the backyard, she'd held him by the hand and led him inside.

Her parents had wisely made themselves scarce somewhere else in the house.

So now, they lay in a tangle of sheets on her bed. Mack kissed each of her breasts gently, running his tongue over each soft ridge.

Brie gasped and held on to him even tighter.

"You're so beautiful; you know that right?" he said as he kissed her neck. Brie squirmed beneath him and ran her hands down his chest.

Mack groaned above her as he caressed her soft skin. Then he buried his face in her neck and inhaled her scent deeply.

His hands went lower and lower until he found her center, and he probed her wet heat until she started to call his name softly.

He silenced her with even more kisses, and she held on to him tightly.

"Mack," she gasped in between kisses. "I want you. I want you now."

"I know, sweetheart, me too," Mack muttered.

Slowly, ever so gently, he guided himself inside her, and she stilled before letting out a breath in one long hiss.

Together, they moved as one, their bodies in perfect sync as he began to find his release inside her.

She cried out with each gentle thrust, and her fingernails raked his back.

Together, they went higher and higher, seeing nothing else but each other, feeling nothing else but each other until she unraveled around him, and he shuddered.

"Brie," Mack whispered before she fell asleep, "I love you. Never forget it. No matter what happens."
