Honestly…I thought I’d known as soon as I followed him out here.
“Please,” Dom repeated. His eyes shone with a desperation I’d only seen once before. On the night I’d walked away from him. “Please, Shadow.”
Just like that, the decision was made for me. Oh, who was I kidding? I’d never had a say. Not when it came to Dominic.
I might’ve changed, but not in this regard. I’d been a fool to think I could stay away from him.
“Get up,” I said roughly. “Now, Dom.”
Warily, he pushed to his feet. “Shadow, I?—”
He didn’t get a chance to finish. Grabbing his shirt roughly, I hauled him towards me.
And then I kissed him.
A thousand sensations hit me all at once. My entire nervous system came alive, centred on the man before me.
God.I had to fight not to whimper. Memories I’d fought so hard to suppress came racing back to the forefront as I reminded myself of his taste. Of the shape of him. My knees shook so hard that I had to cling to him to remain standing.
Dom didn’t react immediately. He was frozen under my touch, not even his chest moving.
But as my tongue urgently tasted the seam of his lips, he came to life.
One of his hands went to my hair as the other gripped the back of my neck. A desperate groan rumbled from his chest as our tongues met.
As we kissed under the moonlight, there was a single word ricocheting around my mind.
Finally.
One of us groaned. I wasn’t even sure who. Maybe it was both of us. But it had the heat licking higher. Dom’s knee pushed between my legs as his hands cupped my arse. I moaned as he pulled me closer, my cock twitching as it met his.
“Not enough,” he murmured into my mouth. “Need more.”
“Yes,” I gasped, my hands already scrabbling at the bottom of his shirt. “More.”
He found my lips again with a small growl. I didn’t know which of us moved first, but suddenly we were stumbling back towards the cabin. Refusing to stop kissing, we hit more than one hard surface. I paid no attention to the various stinging body parts. I didn’t give a shit about anything other than getting Dominic naked. The dam I’d so carefully constructed over the past few years had finally broken.
The ensuing wave was going to drown me.
And I wasn’t going to do a thing to stop it.
Worse, I didn’twantto.
Dom’s T-shirt hit the floor first.
Then mine.
Our shoes were kicked off.
Socks followed.
How we managed it all, I had no idea. Our mouths barely parted, hands roving freely over whatever skin was uncovered. We were being led by an ancient, carnal need. A desperation that neither of us was able to resist.
I opened one eye just enough to figure out where we were. The living room. My bedroom was closest. I twisted Dom so we were heading in that direction.
His teeth found my jaw, nipping along it as he moaned. “You taste even better than I remember. How is that possible?”
Yeah, we weren’t making it to the bedroom.
