“Baby.” He trailed his fingers over the side of her rib cage around to just under her breast.
“It won’t happen again.” The whispered promise was threaded with steel.
His hips pressed into hers,
“I keep finding you like this,” he teased, his breath warm on her face. “It’s nice to not be unconscious this time.”
“Stop looking at me like that,” he growled. “Like what?” Her voice was breathless. “Like you want me to take your clothes off and taste every inch of your body.”
You’re leaving. I’m leaving. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like how I feel when you touch me. Because I really do. It makes me wonder.”
“Wonder what?”
“I wonder what it would feel like if we kissed.”
“Harper, it’s not possible for me to be more physically attracted to you than I am. It’s a constant battle of self-control to not rip your clothes off and slam my dick into you just to feel you come on me.”
“So you do want me, and I am offering myself to you with no strings attached, but you want your order and focus more?”
“When you put it that way, it sounds really stupid.” “You’re a complicated man, Luke.”
And he knew with a dark certainty that when he was inside her it would be anything but just sex. It would be a fucking religious experience, and he wasn’t ready for that.
She had never wanted like that before. Craved. Thinking about Luke’s hands on her gave her goose bumps,
“I’ve never been tempted before.”
“How about now?” “Now?” He reached out and ran his thumb over her lower lip. She parted her
lips at the touch and tasted him. “I’m ...

“One look at you and all I can think about is being inside you.”
“Of how
close I came to making you come today. Of what it would be like to drive you to the edge and...

“Is he always like this?”
“No way. This is the first time I’ve seen about-to-erupt-volcano Luke.”
“He doesn’t touch you again,” he ordered
He came straight at her and, without slowing his pace, boosted her up, locking her legs
around his waist.
“How can you possibly get hard after being in water like that,” she whispered in his ear. “Baby, it’s gonna take more than an icy lake for you to not make me hard.”
“Are you done avoiding me?”
“Baby, if I thought there was the slightest possibility we could get away with it, I would put my dick in you right here and now.”
“It didn’t mean anything, Luke,”
“When I touch you, it’s going to mean something.”
“Now do your shot so I can take you home and untie every stri...

“What changed?” She whispered it against his mouth. “Nothing.” His voice was gravel in the still of the kitchen. “I just want you more than I want to stay away from you.”
“Baby, you and I both know that this was something special. But I’m not surprised. I knew from the second I saw you, the moment you opened those beautiful gray eyes and looked up at me, that I needed to be inside you.”
“I don’t know what’s happening here, but you’re in my head and my blood. There was no way that this was not going to happen.”
“Thank you for your service, son. Is this her first deployment?”
“It is.”
“Think she’ll hold up?” “That girl can survive anything.”
“I don’t want to say because you’ll take it the wrong way and go into panic mode.”
“I thought about staying until I realized what it would be like to run into you and your future girlfriend and then wife at the grocery store every week. Every time I’d see you, I’d think
about what it was like to be with you while knowing that now someone else gets to be with you that way…”
“That’s not the way I want to spend the re...

“See? I told you you wouldn’t like it. I’m not saying I’m in love with you, Luke. I just don’t like the idea of you moving on.” Right back at you, baby.
“I really like her, Luke. You’re smiling again.” She brought a hand to his face. “It’s been a long time.”
“She’s a good girl, Ma. I like her, too.
“Harper.” He sounded exasperated. “I want you. I have been hard since the second
I walked in here tonight. There is no scenario that doesn’t involve me not wanting you.”
“I want you more than ...

“It’s hard for me to logically explain why when you aren’t wearing a fucking bra!”
“Tell me, baby. What’s wrong?”
“I think I love you,”
“Baby, it would take more than all the time in the world for me to forget you.” “I love you, Luke.”
