“Then I guess we need to make the next few nights count,” I told him as I moved my body sensually on top of his. “Take me to bed, Colin.”
He framed my face with his hands and caught my gaze.
Our eyes locked, and I wasn’t quite sure how long we stayed like that, but I was sure that he could see the longing in my eyes.
“Emma,” he said in a solemn tone. “I—”
I cut him off by dropping my lips to his.
I didn’t want to talk about him leaving again.
I didn’t want to think about how I’d feel when he wasn’t with me anymore.
I was going to spend a lot of lonely nights without Colin but tonight wasn’t one of those nights.
Right now, I was his and he was mine.
I’d spent the last fourteen years missing him.
“Just make love to me,” I whispered after the tender embrace had ended.
There were nights when we made love, and there were nights when sex with Colin was primal and carnal.
I needed all of the tenderness and affection that he could give me along with the sexual satisfaction tonight.
He slapped me on the ass when I started to move my hips against his rampant erection.
“Fuck!” he said on strangled groan. “I think you’re always going to make me completely insane, woman.”
God, I hoped so.
He got the two of us out of the lounger, picked me up, and carried me into his bedroom.
We spent the rest of the night completely forgetting that anything existed except for the two of us and the passion between us.

Marshall
“Earth to Marshall,” Wyatt said a few weeks later while we were in the conference room of the Last Hope headquarters. “Did you hear what I said?”
“Sorry,” I muttered as I looked up from the file I was supposed to be studying. “I guess I lost my focus.”
In reality, I’d just been staring at the words on paper.
I’d been completely worthless since the day I’d said goodbye to my woman and my child.
Emma and I spoke on the phone twice a day.
Once in the morning, and again in the evening after Wren went to bed.
I talked to Wren every day after school.
It wasn’t enough.
There wasn’t a single moment of the day when I didn’t want to actually be there with them in person.
Every day was pure hell for me right now.
