Ewan moaned at the sensation of her hands sliding down his shaft, of her reaching down lower so that she could cup his sac.
“Tell me what you want, Ewan,” she breathed.
You.
The word hung in his throat. Unlike her, words were strangers to his tongue.
“I would rather show,” he breathed.
Dipping his head down, he claimed her lips, then slid himself deep inside her body.
He growled at her warm, sweet wetness that surrounded him. At the feeling of her body welcoming his intrusion. He made love to her slowly, delighting in the sensation of her holding him. Knowing it couldn’t last. Knowing that he’d have to let her go.
But letting her go would be the hardest thing he’d ever done.
Ewan kissed her lips as he thrust against her. They only had a few more days together. Then fate and circumstance would separate them.
Fight for her.
Did he dare?
Do you dare not?
He tried to imagine going back to his cave without her. Tried to imagine making it through one day without her smile.
He couldn’t.
The pain of the thought was too much. Nay, he would keep her with him no matter the consequences.
She was the only thing that was good in his life. The only thing that made him happy and no one would take that away from him.
Not without a fight.
Nora saw the determined set of Ewan’s jaw as he quickened his strokes.
“Are you all right?” she asked, wondering what caused the sudden change in him.
“Aye, love,” he said, punctuating his words with his thrusts. “When I’m with you, I’m always all right.”
She melted at that. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she held him close and reveled in his hot, naked skin sliding against hers.
She teased his jaw with her lips and tongue and trailed her hands over the smooth plane of his back to his hips. She splayed her hands over his rear and closed her eyes as she urged him on.
Her body quivered and tightened until she could stand no more.
Moaning deep, she let her orgasm take her and held him close until the last tremor had shuddered through her.
He cupped her face with his hand and kissed her deep.
Then she felt it. He growled into her mouth as his own release took him.
He buried himself deep and froze.
“Oh, lass,” he breathed. “There is truly nothing better than the feel of you in my bed.”
“There is nothing better than the feel of you in my body.” Heat exploded across her face as she realized what she’d said.
But her embarrassment faded the instant she saw the warm, satisfied look on his face.
