Carla tensed. “Falcon, what if…”
“Shhhh. Its alright. We’ll do everything that needs to be done. We’ll consult the best specialists and seek treatment wherever we can find it. We’ll do it together, I promise.”
She felt the earnestness in his assurance. It vibrated through every pore of his being. Carla realized then that she would never be alone.
“It’s still a long way off. Things can still change. I hope it will,” Carla prayed.
Falcon fingers run through her hair. He gazed into her eyes with an expression so tender it took her breath away.
His fingers followed a trail down her nose and caressed the soft outline of her lips. He bent down and brushed his lips against hers. Carla’s body shivered at the feel of his warm breath. He brushed his lips against the hollow of her neck and scattered soft kisses on her jawline.
Carla felt the familiar stirring between her legs come alive. He had been gone for so long that the anticipation was an ache that needed to be appeased. She reached out and pulled his mouth to hers.
He kissed her tenderly, gently, but it wasn’t tenderness that would relieve the longing she felt for him. She knotted her fingers around his and brought them to her breast. Falcon groaned softly before his arms circled around her waist and lifting her up, he stood and brought her to the bedroom.
