I moved closer, breathing her in, and tipped her chin up so her eyes locked on my teary eyes. “I love you, Holly. I never stopped loving you.”
Tears slipped down her cheeks and I brushed them away with my thumb. “I love you too, Jack.”

Holly
Each kiss was hotter than the last and even though I could barely catch my breath in between each one, I couldn’t stop or pull back. I needed his lips on mine more than I needed air. The cast on my arm made it difficult to pull him closer, but he lowered himself to me so I could feel his body against mine.
“I don’t—want to hurt you,” he panted, looking down into my eyes.
“You won’t,” I said, pressing my lips back on his. I coaxed him with the tip of my tongue and he relaxed against me. I’d healed up most of the way and while certain things made me pause, I was ignoring any protests from my ribs and giving into the heat and aching need between my thighs.
I wanted Jack. Seeing him all week and having to endure his skittish act was enough to make me crazy. On top of that, every night was filled with steamy dreams. I often woke up in a cold sweat, wishing his warm hands were on my body, only to find myself all alone.
I was ravenous for him. I tugged at his shirt like a wildcat—albeit a clumsy one thanks to the cast. Jack sat back just long enough to tear if off of himself, and I squeezed my thighs together at the sight of him, feeling the wetness there.
He smirked at my lazy grin. “What are you thinking about?”
“Naughty, naughty things, Lieutenant McGuire,” I replied, reaching for his belt buckle. “Care to complete the picture?”
He groaned as I pulled at his jeans. He popped the button and I reached my left hand in, slipping down the front of his boxer briefs, and sighed when I found his stiff cock. “Fuck, Holls, you trying to kill me?”
I arched an eyebrow at him. “Would you prefer I broke you in slow?”
“You’re still healing—” he broke off with a hiss.
I looked up at him through my thick lashes and tightened my grip on his cock. “Just fuck me already.”
“Sure thing, baby.” He growled, lowering back to suck on my lips. One hand slipped up the front of my tank top and under the built-in bra to tease my nipple. His thumb brushed against me and I was surprised by the heat and flurry of sensations. It wasn’t like it was the first time he’d touched me. We’d made love hundreds of times before. But each touch, look, and kiss felt new and intense.
Jack stripped off my tank top and bent his head to suck a nipple in between his lips. “Jack…” I breathed. He sucked a little harder, adding an ounce of pain to the pleasure. “I don’t know how much longer I can wait. I want you inside of me.”
“Baby, I’ve missed every inch of you,” he said, glancing up at me before flicking his tongue back around my tight nipple. He looked sexier than ever. He drank me in with wonder in his eyes as he dropped from sucking on my nipples to apply a soft kiss to the swell of my belly. “You look sexy as hell pregnant.”
I laughed softly and ran my fingers through his hair. “Oh yeah? You still gonna say that when I waddle?”
“Especially when you waddle. You know I can’t get enough of you.”
I dropped my head back and laughed. “Well, you’ll be relieved to know that doggy style is a very pregnant-friendly position then,” I teased.
“You’ve been researching?”
My cheeks warmed and Jack laughed against my skin. “Damn, Holly, I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.”
His eyes sparked. “Apparently.”
I slapped his ass. “Just kiss me.”
“I have a better idea,” he said, dropping to his knees in front of me. I sucked in a breath as he peeled away my thin yoga pants, revealing that I wasn’t wearing anything underneath. I was bare naked in front of him and didn’t dare breathe as he studied my new shape. When his eyes trailed down below my bellybutton he glanced up at me, his eyes dark and full of lust and heat. “Spread your legs, baby. I need to get a taste.”
I did as he said, slowly opening my legs and exposing myself for him. It was dark outside and a few lamps were lit in the living room. The curtains were drawn but so thin that it felt dangerous—exposed. The thrill of being seen added a new layer to the sensations dancing over my skin and when Jack lowered his face to my pussy, I was already on the verge of coming.
Jack worked slowly, taking his time as he licked all the way down, from end to end, and then back again. He moaned against my pussy lips and the vibrations, though gentle, had me hanging onto the arm of the couch for dear life. He slipped a finger inside me and immediately stroked my g-spot. He knew every sweet spot and just what it took to get me off. It was clear he was dragging it out as long as possible, savoring every second, but I was so on edge I couldn’t hold back for long. I shuddered and came while his face was still buried between my thighs, sucking and teasing my clit with little circles that made stars dance behind my eyes.
