Snippet Saturday: Love Scene

Morning Loverlies,

Yes, it's that time again! Snippet Saturday! Which is hosted by the absolutely and totally kick ass Lauren Dane. Today's theme is the "Love Scene!" I write on the sexier side of romance. The door is flung wide open in most, if not all, of my love scenes. Today's entry is from my reincarnation story, Make Me Remember.

Make Me Remember can be found at Elloracave.com, and if you're interested in reading another excerpt you can find one here. Enjoy! And please make sure to stop by and visit the other Saturday Snippet Authors.

"You had the dream, too," I whispered.

"Yes."

The images washed over me again, and a sob escaped my lips. I couldn't hold it back.

"Our babies…" I choked out. The pain was fresh, as if it just happened yesterday instead of a lifetime ago, another life ago. It hurt so badly and in a way I didn't think anything else would ever hurt. I wanted to howl with the rage of it.

I didn't resist when he folded me into his embrace. I shuddered, wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head against his chest. I could hear his heart beat beneath my ear, comforting and familiar as my own.

Rubbing my back, he offered his strength and the heat of his body warmed mine. He continued to hold me, softly speaking promises. Promises that it would be okay—some way he would make it okay.

For once I didn't ask questions. Didn't ask him how, nor did I remind him righting the wrong that had been done was way beyond our reach. All that mattered were his intentions, the honesty I tasted in his words and the solace I knew I'd find in his arms as the comfort he offered shifted slowly to something different.

My nipples tightened and the shame that heated my cheeks wasn't enough to kill the arousal invading my body. I knew his body as well as I did my own and I didn't need the dreams to remind me of the way it felt beneath mine, over mine.

He pulled back and lifted my chin, so I had no choice but to meet his gaze. His head descended slowly, giving me more than enough time to turn away before his lips touched mine.

From the way he hesitated, I knew he expected me to resist, to refuse what he was offering. But I didn't, wouldn't. I needed him. After everything I had seen and experienced tonight, I prayed his touch would wash away the bad and replace it with good.

I moaned as his tongue touched the seam of my lips and I opened them for him. All of a sudden, I could remember our first true kiss. It was as if being there all over again. His mouth moved over mine and I held on to his shoulders as my world spun.

We broke away, eyes locked, both panting for breath. I took his hand and led him to my bedroom.

The room was dark, but I didn't turn on the light. Neither of us spoke as he unbuttoned my nightshirt. His movements were slow, deliberate, and soon I stood before him in only my panties, moonlight dappling my bare skin.

I sat on the bed and he knelt between my splayed knees. His hands covered my breasts, brushing my nipples. He bent his head and licked the tip before sucking it deep into his mouth. Every deep draw echoed in my pussy.

Tangling my hands in his hair, I held him to me. He groaned as I ran my hands up and down his back before settling on his shoulders.

He pushed me backward as he stood and whipped his shirt over his head. Shadows danced against the hard planes of his stomach and chest. Lying against the bed, I fought to catch my breath as I took him in. I wanted to close my eyes when he reached for his zipper, but refused to be a coward. I would go into this with both eyes open or I wouldn't go at all.

The metallic rasp of his zipper shattered the silence in the room. His eyes held mine as he pushed the material of his pants and boxers down over his hips. His cock rose thick and hard, curving upward, past his bellybutton. I swallowed thickly, not sure how I'd fit all of it inside me. It was a little more than I was used to accommodating.

I finally gave myself permission to close my eyes as he rose to his feet and stood over me. His hands brushed over my hips and I lifted them as so he could work my panties down my legs.

The bed dipped. Splaying a hand over my slightly rounded belly, he bent and covered my mouth with his. I gave myself up to the kiss and trembled as his hand swept the length of my body, exploring every valley, nook and curve. Making his way down my body, he took my ankles in his hands, pushed them apart and spread my legs to expose my pussy.

Settling between my legs, he lifted them to drape over his shoulders until my pussy was a breath away from his face. Without him touching me, arousal lit my body aflame and the intensity of it bordered on painful, stringing my nerves tight with the expectation.

"Gabe."

He looked up at me from between my splayed thighs and smiled. My heart tripped as his smile made warmth like sunshine blossom in my chest. In a way, it aroused me more than anything else he had done.

Dipping his head, he ran his cheek along the smoothness of my inner thigh before kissing my slit and tracing it with his tongue. I moaned as the wet caress sent a lightning bolt of pleasure through my body, bowing my back.

"Please." In this life, in this body, I'd never had a man's mouth on me there, but I knew in that other time and other place, we had loved like this. His fingers parted the swollen lips of my sex and his tongue touched my clit, pressing down firmly before he took the tiny bundle of nerves into his mouth and drawing on it.

My hands clenched in the bed sheets and I arched into his mouth, crying out as he devoured me. Ecstasy built with each pass of his tongue and my hips rocked in time with every movement. His finger played with the wetness glistening at my opening before he dipped into me and coated it with my cream.

He worked one digit and then another inside me and I shattered, crying out his name as wave after wave crashed over me.

Boneless, I collapsed against the bed, my breath coming in panting gasps as he moved his way up my body. I could feel his cock brush my leg as he settled between my thighs. As he braced his forearms along either side of my head, his gaze held mine as he entered me with a deep, slow thrust. I was hot, damp, but still my body took its time accepting the slow slide of his cock as he filled me, stretched me.

"Am I too deep?" he whispered, holding still to give my body time to adjust.

Clutching his back, I placed my heels flat against the bed and arched up, opening myself to him. The action answered his question better than words could.

Gabe breathed my name as he pulled out. Groaning, I tilted my pelvis and he met the movement and sank back inside me. Wrapping my legs high on his waist, I held on to him as he stroked into me. His cock glided over that sensitive spot inside me and my muscles clenched on him as I came again. I cried out and it was if the sound was enough to make him let go. He pounded into me, thrusting once, twice, before he groaned and spilled himself inside me.

Resting his head in the curve of my neck, I held him and ran my hands up and down his sweat-slick back as my flesh still pulsed around his.

"I've waited more than a lifetime to be in your arms again," he whispered.

My hands rested on his shoulders as he trembled above me. Pressing his lips to mine, he whispered, "Your breath, my breath. Your life, my life. Not even death will separate us."
