Three weeks later

“Why’d you want to come here?” Tyler asked as they drove in his SUV down toward the same lake he’d taken her to a few weeks earlier. “Not that I mind, I’m just curious.”
Melissa glanced over at him, smiling. “It just felt like this was where everything started with us.”
He smirked, his green eyes flashing with amusement. “That it did, beautiful.” His gaze raked over her before he turned back to the road. “And I’m glad you still have another week off work. I kind of like having you all to myself.”
She flushed, thinking of Tyler’s arms wrapped around her every night. Of waking up next to him every morning. Although he’d held her and they’d kissed for hours, they’d otherwise been taking things slowly. Her physical injuries had been minor, fortunately, but it had taken a little time for her to feel comfortable in her own skin again.
And Tyler had been perfectly happy with holding her close.
“And what are you going to do when you settle on your house?” she teased. “Leave me alone in my bed every night?”
“I’ll sweet talk you into spending the night at my place some of the time,” he said with a chuckle. “And if I need to move? Luckily I know a good realtor.”
“It’ll be good to get back to work,” she said with a contented sigh. “I mean, I can’t let you close on your house without me there.”
He reached over and grabbed her hand, his thick fingers interlocking with hers. “I’m just glad you’re all right,” he said in a low voice. “The house doesn’t matter. Just us.”
“Just us,” she agreed.
They pulled into the clearing, coming to a stop right by the lake where they’d been before. The sun glistened off the water, and a few birds flew through the air. “We should come here when the weather’s warmer,” she said. “It must be gorgeous in the spring.”
“Yep,” he agreed. “But I’m happy coming here anytime as long as you’re with me.”
She looked over at him and smiled, her gaze roaming over his chiseled features.
“Come here,” he said, pushing his seat back and hauling her into his arms. “I want you close.”
She tugged the sweater dress she had on up slightly higher on her thighs and eagerly settled on his lap, smiling. His broad hands landed on her hips, and his lips quirked. “I like this better than the jeans you had on last time.”
“I thought you might say that,” she said.
He ducked down and kissed her, his lips hot and hungry against her own. “I’m in no hurry, beautiful. We can wait as long as you need.”
“I’m not wearing any panties,” she teased, loving the quick intake of his breath.
“Don’t tease a guy like that, beautiful,” he said, raising a hand to lightly caress one breast through her sweater dress.
“Who said I’m teasing?”
He claimed her mouth once more, and then she was softly moaning as he lightly bucked against her. “I’m not making love to you for the first time in my car,” he muttered.
“Why not?” she asked lightly. “We’re starting over. Right now.” She reached down between them, unbuckling his belt, and then Tyler was suddenly taking over. Pushing her dress up to her waist. Baring her to him. Running his fingers through her silken folds, groaning in approval.
She gasped as his thick fingers dragged through her arousal-dampened folds, lightly circling her clit.
“God, you’re so wet for me, beautiful. So ready.”
She gasped as he circled her clit again, swearing she began to see stars. She clutched onto his shoulders, crying out as he growled in approval.
Tyler pulled his erection free, and then he quickly sheathed himself and was lowering her atop him. Claiming her once and for all as his.
She gasped as his hot, hard length filled her. As he bottomed out deep inside, the exquisite pressure nearly too much to bear.
“You okay, beautiful?” he asked, pausing a moment.
“God yes, don’t stop.”
His mouth was on hers again, and she moved atop him, riding him. Surrendering as he again took control. The base of his erection rubbed up against her clit with every thrust, and she moaned, unable to stop the waves of pleasure taking over.
He easily lifted her up and down even as he bucked into her, and then she closed her eyes, crying out as she reached the precipice.
With one more powerful thrust, she was coming. Screaming his name.
Claimed utterly and completely by him.
Tyler hardened and then found his release as well, groaning in pleasure.
She gazed up into his green eyes, breathless and spent, as his arms tightened around her. He kissed her once, twice, holding her close. “I love you, gorgeous.”
“I love you, too.”
