She looked into my eyes, and I could see the fire of desire burning within her. “Okay,” she said finally. “Let’s do it. Let’s give this a shot.”

I grinned and leaned in to kiss her, softly at first, then with more passion as the heat between us grew. I knew that this was just the beginning of our journey together, but I was ready for it.

SHILOH

Ilooked at him and saw the passion and desire in his eyes. If he was serious about making our relationship something solid, I was going to match his commitment. We would figure out the long-distance thing.

I leaned against him. His hand slid up my back and caressed over my neck. Every time he touched me, I felt like he was touching my soul. My body came alive in his arms. His gentle caress slowly turned into something that was anything but innocent.

I closed my eyes and let out a soft moan as he traced his fingers down my spine. His lips found mine and kissed me with a hunger that was hard to resist. Our tongues tangled together, and I could taste the sweetness of his mouth. He pushed me back against the back of the couch as his hands roamed over my body, exploring every inch of me.

I reached down to stroke him through his shorts. He groaned and pulled away from me, his breath coming in ragged gasps. “Damn, what is it about you?” he asked. “I get near you and I long to be inside you. I can’t explain what you do to me. It’s not just normal sex. It’s an experience that touches my heart and soul.”

“Let me lock the door,” I said. “Just in case Ryder and Penelope come by to visit.”

He grinned and got to his feet. I walked the few steps to lock the door to the cabin. I turned to face him with a smile on my face. “All alone.”

He jerked his shirt over his head and tossed it on the couch. “I’d really like to get naked,” he said, laughing.

“I can help with that,” I said with a grin. I reached up to undo his belt buckle. He grabbed my hands and pulled me close to him.

I ran my fingers through his hair and stared into his eyes. It was impossible to read his thoughts, but I knew how I felt.I love this man, I thought to myself. I wanted to take him to bed and make love to him. I wanted to have his babies and make him happy.

I stood on my toes and kissed him. His arms wrapped around me like bands of steel. He pulled me against him and held me tight. I felt his body throb as he pressed against me. His desire for me was obvious.

“If you don’t stop this I’m going to tear your clothes off,” he warned.

“Do it,” I told him.

He flashed a grin. “Be careful what you ask for.”

“I know what I’m asking for,” I said. “I want you, Archer.”

He picked me up in his arms and carried me to the bed where he dropped me and lay down beside me, one hand stroking my face.

He leaned down and kissed me. It was a long, slow kiss that told me more than words ever could. I was in love with this man and he was in love with me.

The next kiss was harder, more demanding. I gave as good as I got. I knew what he wanted. I wanted it too. He started to frantically undress me. I felt that same desperation. We had sex less than eight hours earlier but it felt like it had been weeks. I couldn’t get enough of him.

He stripped me until we were both naked and panting. His hands pinned mine to the mattress as he stared down at me. I looked up into his blue eyes and knew what he wanted.

“I’m all yours, Archer,” I whispered.

“Are you mine, Shiloh, really mine?”

I lifted my head to kiss him. “Yes.”

“I’m yours,” he murmured. “I don’t want to scare you away or freak you out, but I’m in love with you.”

His words took me by surprise. I felt it, but to hear him say it was incredible. “I feel the same. I love you. I know that’s crazy given how little time we’ve spent together, but I do. I really do.”

“It’s fast, but I think that means it’s right,” he said. “We don’t need two years to figure out we’re right. I think that is more important than anything else in the world. When two souls recognize each other, that’s all you could ask for.”

“You’re suddenly very romantic,” I said, smiling.

“I’m feeling romantic. And horny.”
