“Shit. Did I hurt you?” Gabe froze, obviously aware of her sudden stiffness.
“No,” she assured him. “It’s just been…”
“A long time.”
Ellena stared up at him. “Yeah.”
“For me, too, sweetheart.” Gabe brushed some hair from her forehead. “We can go as slow as you want to.”
The words he spoke were sincere, but it was obvious he was holding back.
She didn’t want him to deny himself. They’d both been denied far too much for too damn long. No, she didn’t want this beautiful man holding anything back.
Not ever again.
Ellena cupped his face and brought his mouth to hers. Kissing him softly, she lifted her hips from the mattress, silently urging him to start moving.
He did.
Gabe’s low moan matched her own as he slid his cock in and out of her body slowly. For the first few thrusts, they kept the same unhurried pace. The feel of his body molding together with hers was one she’d missed at an indescribable level.
“So good,” Gabe spoke between kisses. “So fucking good.”
“You, too,” she panted.
Their breathing increased. They began to move faster. And as it always did with this man, Ellena felt her body preparing for a second, glorious eruption.
“Elle.” Her whispered name was a warning.
“I’m there.”
With full understanding, Gabe reached between their bodies and began rubbing her clit with perfection.
He thrust harder. Faster. The room filled with the sound of their bodies slapping together until…
“Ellena!”
She cried out again, her body jerking when she came with even more force than before. Gabe joined her a second later.
He grunted loudly, his large body becoming stiff with uneven thrusts. This continued on until the last of his climax had been spent. His hot seed filling her womb.
Heavy breaths filled Ellena’s ears, and it took her a minute to find the energy to even speak. When she did, all she managed to utter was a breathy, “Wow.”
A low, deep chuckle vibrated against her chest. Keeping his weight from crushing her, Gabe leaned back just enough to look down at her with a smile. “That was definitely a wow.”
He kissed her slowly, as if he never wanted their time together to end. Ellena knew she didn’t. Not now. Not ever.
She finally had him back, and in that moment, she realized his reasons for returning didn’t matter. All that mattered was that he was here. With her.
No matter what happened from this point forward, Ellen knew one thing with utter certainty.
I’m never letting go of him again.
Chapter 12
“Three strikes, Walker. You know what that means.”
“Well, damn.” Adrian stared back at the clueless prick and sighed. “Guess I don’t get to see what’s behind door number two, now, huh?”
