“Just like that?”
“Yes. Just like that. I’m no longer serving the people in the great state of South Carolina thanks to Glenn Briars. I can turn over what clients I have left and see if Roger wants to buy me out.”
“But South Carolina is your home.”
“Changing your mind?”
She was aware that’s what it sounded like. “No.”
He framed her face in his hands and she tilted her head to press her cheek into his palm. “You’re my home, Bella mine. I lived up here for four years in college. I can live out the rest of my life here if this is where you want to be.”
“Will you kiss me, Sir?”
“Every day if you’ll let me,” he whispered as he lowered his lips to hers.
The first touch after so long was like the very first time. Tentative. Breath mingling. Light and barely there. She didn’t know who was the one holding back, but she knew it couldn’t go on that way.
She licked at the seam of his mouth and was rewarded with his tongue pressing at the seam of hers. She opened and invited him inside.

Harry invaded her. He plundered and took from her mouth the kiss she’d offered.
She tasted of the sip of coffee from earlier, of morning breath, of Bella. It had been so long since he’d touched her lips, since he’d touched any part of her.
He fought between taking it slow and taking her hard in the chair.
They’d never been shy about where they had sex, not even their first time, but something about this time was different.
They’d been estranged. She’d tried to stay away, considered them separated. He didn’t want to fuck this up. He wanted to make sure he didn’t do anything that would drive another wedge between them.
He eased his mouth away and watched her open her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Concern etched lines in her brow. Harry smoothed them with his thumbs.
“Nerves,” he answered honestly.
“Me, too,” she admitted. “But I want this. I wanted this ever since I saw you last night.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Because we didn’t need it to complicate unresolved issues.”
“Did the spanking complicate them?”
“I think it helped clarify them. But you know how much I love sex with you. It’s my favorite exercise. And you know I can’t think straight when we have sex.”
“Only if I make you come and come and come…” The last was said against her mouth just before he devoured her again. She wiggled against the front of his body and humped his lap. He grabbed her, careful of her still red and smarting cheeks, but he wanted her to know he was there, he was serious.
He pulled her up tight and she ground down on his denim covered erection.
“Please, Sir…”
“Please, Sir, what?”
“Please, Sir, everything…”
Harry chuckled. “Hold on to me.” He carefully eased them up out of the chair and she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his hips. He held her at the side of the bed for a bit, relishing in her closeness, in her nakedness, in the soft plush weight of her in his embrace.
