It was sweet, it was love-filled, and it was definitely what Graham needed.
This was his hero.
“I love you,” Graham whispered, reminding him that they at least had that. Despite what happened, there was always that love between them.
“I know, my love,” D’Artangnan admitted. “There will never be any doubt,” he promised.
And Graham knew that wasn’t the truth.
Kissing him, his one hand was on D’Artangnan’s ass, and the other was in his hair. He kept his mouth trapped to his, the kisses deep, erotic, and driving up the heat in the room.
He made love to his mouth in a hunger he only felt with this man.
There was need there, awash in lust and heat.
Wild, desperate need.
They were pressed together, and Graham could feel D’Artangnan’s dick hard against his own. Someone was definitely just as aroused as he was.
It felt good too.
What wouldn’t he do to keep this for all eternity between them?
Graham continued the kiss, desperate to get lost in the mating of mouths.
He needed this.
He craved it.
Pulling off his man’s Marine T-shirt, he only broke the kiss to get D’Artangnan naked. He was desperate to keep this going, to purge the pain—if only for a few minutes.
Graham needed to get the love of his life’s oppressive fatigues off of his body.
Oh, and he couldn’t wait.
He’d wanted slow lovemaking, but now, he wanted so much more. He wanted to make D’Artangnan stay.
Graham wanted this to cement this sexy Marine to him for the rest of their lives so he could undo what he’d done in the worst moments of his life.
Together, they rolled around, clothing going everywhere.
They were in their bed, and as the morning light shone in on them, there was peace. In that moment, Graham prayed for redemption.
He prayed to get anyone listening to give him one more chance.
If he was granted that one wish, he’d change everything.
He.
Swore.
If he could make this right, he’d cherish this man for the rest of his life.
He promised.
As his mouth was pillaged again, and his man was stripping him down, D’Artangnan was out of breath.
And that was how Graham wanted him.
