“Oh God!” I moan as my body hums, rippling and surging with heat.
“I only want you,” he whispers.
“Yes,” I whisper back.
His eyes drive into my soul. “I will love you forever.”
I tremble. “I’ll love you back forever.”
His arms wrap around me tighter, caressing me, cherishing me, claiming me as his.
It’s all I’ve ever wanted. I’ve found my heaven in Xander. He fills the holes in my heart I assumed no one ever could. And I want to fill his, so no more heartache ever hurts him again, but I’m not sure how. The only thing I can do is love him, so that is what I vow to do.
“I will be the man you deserve,” he murmurs in my ear.
“You already are,” I tell him and mean it.
I grind into him harder, needing all of him in me as he shimmies against my walls, creating a tidal wave of euphoria so high in me, I collapse in his arms in tremors, cryingout his name.
And as he unleashes his seed into me, he holds me so tight, our orgasms collide, and I no longer can tell where I end and he begins.
I think every second of what we’ve gone through has gotten us here. That nothing else can happen. That we’ve done our penance for whatever we’ve done wrong in this life or previous lives, and now is our time to have it easy, and just be able to love each other.
But love requires unconditional trust. And that isn’t always easy to give.

Charlotteand I spend all day Friday together. We eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant, and she grabs a tourist map from the front desk to give me a quick overview of Chicago.
After we eat, we buy a deck of cards in the gift shop and spend the afternoon having sex and playing games in my suite.
The snow is still coming down but not as hard. Chase and Jamison will arrive in the early evening, and their flight miraculously isn’t canceled.
Around six, we stop at Charlotte’s so she can get changed. The guys are staying at Noah and Piper’s, and everyone has been invited to their place before we head out to Club D.
Charlotte walks out of her room in a metallic-gold club dress and matching stilettos, and my pants instantly feel tighter. When I whistle at her, the sexy blush crosses her cheeks. I kiss her. “I swear you just get hotter.”
She laughs.
I kiss her again. “Maybe we should stay here,” I murmur against her lips.
“Ha, ha!”
I step back from her. “You ready?”
She nods, and I hold out her coat and help her into it. Once outside, we catch a taxi and are soon at Noah and Piper’s.
As we thought, Quinn and Vivian are over. When we arrive, everyone looks at us in surprise, and I realize no one knows Charlotte and I have reunited. Well, Vivian and Noah know a bit, but they don’t know we’ve gotten back together.
The elephant is in the room. It’s quiet, and everyone is staring at us. Charlotte looks at me, and I pull her closer. “Are you going to stare all night?”
Noah smiles and winks at me. “Nope.” He walks over and kisses Charlotte on the cheek. “Good to see you, Charlotte.”
“Okay, you have some explaining to do.” Quinn points at us, and everyone laughs.
Charlotte blushes again.
