Christ, he was a fucking mess. He didn’t deserve someone as good as her. But, for some reason he didn’t quite understand or feel like questioning, he’d been given time with her, and it was a gift he refused to take for granted.
They held each other for a long while, breathing each other in, listening to their hearts sync and the fire crackle. Night came once again, but the darkness didn’t feel quite so heavy. Sera pulled back to straddle his lap. Then she cupped his face and initiated a kiss that left them both breathless.
A profound kiss where he realized the blood didn’t rush solely to his cock. It also flowed straight to his heart.
Running his fingers through her hair and down her back, he pulled her as close as possible, aligning their bodies. He wanted to lose himself in her. But not just inside her body—in herpretty blue-gray eyes, her warm embrace and, most of all, in her beautiful essence which felt like a shelter from the storm. A safe place where second chances and forgiveness dwelled.
A forgiveness he couldn’t seem to find in himself. But maybe she would be able to help him find it. One day…
She began tugging his pajama pants down and he stripped her panties and leggings off. They came together hard and fast. Her knees dropped on either side of his thighs, and he thrust up. She sank all the way down on his cock, hands grabbing his shoulders, and she grinded against him. He grasped her hips, guiding her up and down, unable to stop the groans that ripped from his throat.
Leaning back, he watched her with hooded eyes as she rode him hard. “So fucking beautiful,” he rasped. His fingers slid over to toy with her clit, bringing her to a shattering climax.
Spinning her onto her back, he hitched her leg over his side and took control, pounding into her harder than he intended. But he was in a race against his demons, needing to find his release before they caught him.
With a shout, he came hard enough to see stars. But Sera proved to be the brightest star of all. And as his body shuddered and he spilled his release inside her, the demons seemed to scatter as unimaginable bliss encompassed him.
Fuck me.His cock still twitched deep inside her as clarity struck: she had the power to keep the bad stuff at bay. To suppress the ghosts and demons and nightmares.
How the hell was he ever going to let her go?
Maybe you don’t have to,a voice whispered.
As if she felt his inner turmoil, she laid a hand along his face and whispered, “You heal me, I heal you. Together.”
He nodded, then collapsed on top of her, breathing hard, trying not to crush her, but needing to feel her warm body pressed against him from top to bottom. As his scattered thoughts came together, he realized he hadn’t used a condom.
“I forgot protection.” He lifted his head, studying her flushed face. “Fuck. I’m so sorry.”
“I forgot, too.” She gave a little shrug. “I seriously doubt pregnancy is an issue, though.”
He arched a brow.
“Perimenopause. There’s like a five percent chance. Nothing to really worry about. And until you, I haven’t been with a man in a very, very…” She cleared her throat. “Very long time.”
“It’s been a long time for me, too. A very, very, very long time,” he echoed with a smile.
“So, I think it’s safe to say we’re both good to go there, too.”
“Definitely.”
Outside, the wind picked up and seemed to howl through the trees. As if in answer, Storm perked up from where he was laying, let his head fall back and howled, too. They laughed. Then Corey caught her mouth in a long, passionate kiss. He couldn’t get enough of her.
But it wasn’t long before the real world intruded, bursting their bubble. Brandon called and told Corey that Mitch had decided to stay longer because after talking to the higher-ups, the Motley Crew had a new op.
Corey looked at Sera, his heart rebelling. He didn’t want to leave her. “When?”
“We leave tonight. Get your gear and bring Sera and Loki back. They can stay with Julia and Mitch again.”
“Roger that.”
“The CIA sent in a team and raided J&J Shipping.”
“Did they arrest Joel?” Corey asked, and Sera sat up straighter, listening closely.
“No. One of his workers must’ve tipped him off because he pulled a disappearing act.”
“Are we going to hunt him down?”
