I’d missed him so much more than I should have. I was able to admit it to myself once I was with him even though I’d tried so hard to tell myself I was fine. I’d missed the intense connection that ran between us like molten lava, glowing and beautiful but so very dangerous. For days, I’d fought the decision to visit him, until Esme insisted that I did, just to prove to myself once and for all that there was nothing between us. She knew what she was doing. And she knew damn well that there was something between us.

He had been the central focus of all my fantasies. But making myself come with my vibrator or my hands was nothing compared to the feeling of being with him. I needed that connection to him like I needed air to breathe. And here I was breaking all the rules yet again. I was wet for him and wanted him so desperately. I gazed down at him where he sat with his joggers halfway down his legs, his cock thick and glistening from my mouth.

“Straddle me again, Kelly. I need to fuck you now, sweetheart.”

His voice was gravelly with lust and hearing him speak increased my desire for him tenfold. I needed him inside of me too, but I’d missed his tongue and the way he made me feel when he kissed me everywhere. Stepping closer to him, I reached and slipped my finger into his mouth. He obliged and sucked on it, pulling it deep into his luscious mouth. But then I removed it and pointed to my sex. A wide, knowing smile took over his handsome face and he leaned forward, grabbing my hips and pulling me to his mouth.

Oh, wow, it felt so good to have his mouth on me again. I let my head roll back as his tongue delved into me, licking and sucking at my sensitive bud of nerves as pleasure coursed through my veins. His fingers dug into my arse cheeks and he groaned against me. The sensation was like the world’s most powerful vibrator, and I gasped, gripping his shoulders.

“Oh, that’s so good… so good,” I moaned.

“You taste amazing… all woman,” he mumbled against my clit, and the vibrations of his deep, lust-filled voice caused my core muscles to spasm. He reached to tug on my nipple, and I cried out and collapsed forward.

“Oh, God, what you do to me, Cain.”

Giving me one more long, slow lick up my centre, he pulled me into his lap so that I straddled him again. He pulled me down onto his rigid flesh as I was cresting the wave of the most intense orgasm I’d ever had, and the feeling of him pounding straight into my already tensing muscles and rubbing against that sensitive place inside me brought on an even more powerful climax as he lifted me up by my hips and thrust himself into me, hard, with a carnal grunt. I couldn’t get enough. I felt him tense up and when I locked my gaze on his he was clenching his jaw and making the sexiest sound over and over as he pushed into me.

“Kelly, oh fuck, Kelly… Kelly, I love you…. Oh God, Kelly, I love you so much.”

His words shocked me to the heart, but the intensity of the sensations he was creating in me pushed me over the edge again. This time when I cried out, it was his name falling from my lips as my heart soared.

My greedy muscles clenched at him as my nails dug into the tattoos on his shoulders. I threw my head back as I bounced up and down on his thick, rigid cock, unwilling to give him up just yet. The orgasm rolled around my body relentlessly as he pulled me down and held me tight to him with a final libidinous growl.

Once again I collapsed into him and buried my face into the crook of his damp neck as he clung to me. His chest heaved against my sensitive nipples, creating little shock waves of pleasure that I could hardly handle.

When his breathing had calmed, he pulled away from me and nervously gazed into my eyes. “I… I’m sorry about that. I… think I got caught up in the moment.”

I smoothed my hands through his overgrown shaggy hair as a sense of sadness weighed heavy on me at his apology. “It’s okay. I know you didn’t mean it.”

His face scrunched. “Hey, I didn’t say I didn’t mean it. I said I was sorry because I blurted it out at the most clichéd fucking time, Kelly. But believe me when I say I do mean it. You’re all I can think about. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I’ve known I felt something for you. And then when my memory came back and I thought it was because of your similarity in appearance to Melody, but… it’s not just that. It’s more. Not being around you made me realise that. I’ve known for a while, but… I knew there was no point in saying anything.”

I swallowed hard, trying to relax my tightened throat. “You… you really love me?” Saltwater began to sting at my eyes.

He nodded and pulled me down to kiss me tenderly.

Well, it was out there. I’d admitted how I felt at the worst possible moment. I was just relieved she didn’t think I was some unoriginal dumb-ass. Well, if she did think that, she wasn’t admitting to it. The problem was, now that it was out there, I was terrified of the future.

I pulled her down and kissed her long and deep, and she melted into my body. She fit me like a glove, and the fact that soon I would be leaving to go home scared the shit out of me. Her life was here, and I didn’t want to drag her into the shit that would no doubt be waiting for me back in Utah.

This meant one thing.

We were temporary.

She pulled away and gazed into my eyes. “Cain, what’s wrong?”

“Oh… nothing.” I sighed, realising that keeping things from her was futile. It was her job to delve deeper. “I just feel a little scared is all.”

She cupped my face and kissed the tip of my nose. So damn sweet. “Scared of what?”

“Kelly, I’ll be going home soon… back to the US. Where the hell does that leave us?”

She closed her eyes and rested her forehead on mine. “Can we… can we just not think about that now? I just want to be with you. I shouldn’t even be here, Cain but… there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than right here with you for now.”

Her words broke my heart, and I was at a loss for what I could say in response to her, so I pulled her down and kissed her once again, slipping my fingers into the silky strands of her hair. I hardened beneath her again and shifted to lay her down on my couch.

“If we only have a short time together, I want to spend as much of it as possible making love to you. I don’t know how long we have left, Kelly, but whatever happens, I want you to know that I will never forget you.”

She parted her thighs and I slipped myself inside of her again, needing that intimacy with her even though it only reminded me of what I’d be missing when I left. I took my time. Slowly worshipping her body and gazing into her eyes. Without uttering a single word, I made love to the Scottish siren who had captured my heart and touched my soul.
