His name is on my lips like a mantra as he moves in relentless thrusts, driving me to new heights of pleasure with each stroke.

Carter, Carter, Carter.

Our eyes are locked but, for once, we don’t have a wordless conversation. Because there’s no need for words.

This, here… the two of us, together…

It defies all definition.

Eludes all explanation.

This man will ruin me, if I let him,I think, scoring my nails down his back.And I will destroy him in return.

I combust into another orgasm at the same moment he does, pleasure unlike anything I’ve ever experienced spiking inside me. And I know it’s because, deep down, the emotions I feel for this man — this infuriating, stubborn, intoxicating man — are also unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

There’s a word I could use to describe the things I’m feeling. A word Iwoulduse, if I was a bit more brave and a little less smart.

A tiny, four-letter word…

…with enormous, far-reaching implications.

I don’t say it.

I don’t even think it.

Not now.

Maybe not ever.

But as I lie there in his arms, listening to our heartbeats pound in perfect sync, I feel it fill every frozen crevice of my damaged, delusional heart.

Bring on the destruction.
