I wrap her hair around my hand and tug so her head is tilting back, her throat exposed. Thrusting in hard, I wrap a hand over her throat and drop my mouth to the shell of her ear. “Come for me, beautiful.”
She moans, fingers curling around my hand at her throat, pushing down.
Fuck, baby, that’s it.
We were fucking made for each other.
Our combustion point so close.
So intrinsically tethered.
We are oxygen and a flame.
Without the other we die out.
I thunder into London as she loses herself to a string of sweet sounds and sends heat sinking to the base of my spine. My body trembles, my thrusts turn sloppy. My grip on her neck fades, and I concentrate on her clit.
Brown eyes find mine when she tilts her head back. “Come for me, Miles. Give me every last fucking drop.”
“You sure you want everything this old man has to give you?”
Her eyes soften. “Always.”
I thunder into her, and she holds my gaze through every wave of pleasure having her wrapped around me brings. Our gazes stay snagged as she clamps down, her own face falling as her fingers tighten in my hair, her pussy strangling my damn cock. “Fuck, Milo. Oh...”
I cuddle her into my hold, dropping kisses and whispering sweet nothings as we come down from that place we only ever find together.
London turns on the bed and walks backward on her knees as she beckons me with a finger. “Come here, sir.”
“Need cuddles, beautiful?”
I drop to the bed and close the distance. As she reaches for me, she utters, “No, I just need you.”
We collapse into the bed, and I slide the sheet up before wrapping my body around hers.
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I’d like it on record that our hearts are strong enough. They’ve been through more than most. We’re done with absence. I have no problem diving headfirst into forever with this woman.
Like I ever had a choice.
Or any control over that . . .
Epilogue
LONDON
SEVEN YEARS & ONE LIEUTENANT’S EXAM LATER . . .
“Company 53, good morning,” I address our crew, including a new probie amongst them.
They snap back in unison, “Morning, Lieutenant.”
“We have a new crewmember. Phillips, say hello to your new family.”
Phillips leans forward and smiles. Her eyes are lit with excitement and determination.
Good, she’s going to need it.
“Phillips, report to Sandy every week for a fitness test.”
