“Why would I trust you? You broke my heart, Liam.” There’s real pain her voice, and I can’t stand it.
I turn her in my arms so she wraps her legs around my waist to keep her from going under, and she twines her arms go around my neck.
“Because I love you, Nicole. You’re it for me. I never, ever meant to hurt you. I was obsessed with building an empire and making money. I wanted to conquer the world until I met you. Then the only thing I wanted to do was to belong to you.”
“And now suddenly you’ve given it all up for me? What if you change your mind? What if you grow to resent me for keeping you here?”
“I sold the hotels and put everything in your name for you. I created an unbreakable trust so that you’ve never got to worry about money again. I did that for you. But I came back for me. I’m just like you said I was, a selfish asshole. I can’t breathe without you. I can’t function without you by my side. I don’t know how to wake up or go to sleep without you in my arms. So yeah, it’s selfish, but I want to be here so that my heart beats again. Because without you, I’m dying inside.”
“Liam,” she whispers as tears form in her eyes. She reaches out and runs her fingers through my wet hair. “I’m scared.”
Her words are honest, but they give me the first glimpse of hope I’ve had since I left her.
“I’ll never hurt you again, and I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.” I press my forehead to hers and hold her close. “I love you, Nicole. Please don’t send me away again.”
“I love you, too, Liam.”
The words are barely out of her mouth and my lips are on hers. It feels like years since I’ve kissed her instead of days. But the feeling of her body against mine is sunshine after a monsoon. The clouds are clearing and the only thing I feel is her ray of light in my heart.
“I missed you so fucking much,” I say as I carry her out of the water while kissing her. My lips move to her jaw and then to her neck before I lick the shell of her ear. I lay her down on the white powdery sand and pull off her soaked jean shorts. “I’m dying for you.”
She yanks off her wet tank top and I pull aside the triangles of her bikini top before I’m on her like a hungry lion. I suck on her nipples as I unbutton my shorts and pull my cock free. I push aside her bikini bottom while she struggles with the ties on either side and slip into her warm, wet pussy because I can’t wait a second longer for it.
Her fingers give up trying to undo the knots and I thrust in and out of her. The hot sun beats down on us as she wraps her legs around me and we cling to one another. It’s making love, but it’s furious like we’re starved for one another. She scratches me down my back and I graze my teeth along her nipple. Her pussy squeezes me as I growl on top of her like an animal that’s found his mate. And maybe I have.
“I love you,” I whisper as my hands dig into her ass and I thrust harder. I say it over and over again because I knew it the day I met her and I should have told her right then.
“Don’t stop,” she breathes as I go deeper. “I love you, too.”
I can’t kiss her enough or hold her tight enough, and even as I feel my release approaching, I know it won’t be enough. I’ll have to have her again right after this and even still I won’t be sated. I know in my soul this is exactly where we are meant to be. Together forever.
Her climax hits and I have no choice but to follow her over the edge. Her pussy pulses and massages my cock like it’s begging me to fill her up. I have no doubts that if she isn’t already pregnant, in this moment our baby is conceived. My body is heavy on top of her, but I try to hold myself up as I cum inside her and try not to black out. It’s so powerful and feels so fucking good that I see stars when I look at her. It’s overwhelming and I have to catch my breath so I don’t pass out.
I put my weight on my elbows and kiss her softly, but I don’t pull out. I’m nowhere near finished. I love the feeling of being in her with no rush and skin on skin. I’ve dreamed of her every night and all the things I would do to her if I just had one more chance. I rip away her bikini bottoms so that there’s nothing between us.
