He ran a wet trail up to her neck, all the way to her earlobe. He felt her pulse throb beneath his lips.
Meanwhile, he was throbbing himself inside his jeans. He wasn t going to last long. Not the first time at
least. That was okay. If Annie let him, he d spend all night making it up to her, starting now.
He rose on one knee, sad to have to break any contact with her warm, soft body. It wouldn t be for
long though. Scooping her up in his arms, he carried her to the bed and laid her down on the covers. Her
chest rose and fell as he worked on the button of her jeans. He lowered the zipper and wiggled them down
the curves of her hips, exposing the scrap of lace that was her panties.
Luke fought the jealous thought that some other guy may have been the one seeing this beautiful sight
instead of him had his friends and mother not come up with that crazy intervention and convinced him to
come back.
How he d allowed himself to write off this part of his life, Annie being part of that life, was beyond
him. But now was not the time for regrets. Now was the time to undo whatever damage he d done between
them, and most importantly, to make up for lost time.
She watched him as he kneeled on the mattress between her legs. Her chest rose with a deep, ragged
breath as he slid her panties slowly down her bare skin. Then, when he lowered his head between her
thighs, he watched her brow furrow in a frown as her eyelids drifted shut.
He didn t waste any time. He used both hands and mouth. Annie might still be fighting her feelings
for him she was probably still hurt and upset but she didn t stop him as he plunged his tongue between
her folds. She wasn t even pretending to fight any longer when her hips rose off the bed and she cried out.
She came hard and sweet against his mouth and it was nearly his undoing.
When she finally settled down, dissolving into not much more than a soft whimper delivered amidst
fast breathing, Luke stood and immediately began shucking his boots and clothes.
He grabbed the condom he d been cocky enough to stick in his pocket in anticipation of their
reconciliation and crawled between Annie s legs. He was eyelevel with her when he plunged inside her wet
heat. She squeezed her eyes shut but he continued to watch her as emotions sped across her face. He
watched until the pleasure of finally being surrounded by Annie once again was too much and he couldn t
keep his own eyes open. Then he did what he had wanted to do for so long. He pushed all thoughts out of
his mind and simply made love to Annie.
Luke came with an intensity he hadn t felt in a very long time. All the feelings he d kept bottled up
inside during that time he d spent at home pretending he was okay seemed to pour out of him. He ended
with an explosive shudder and then collapsed on top of Annie, only to feel her shaking beneath him.
Rising on one elbow, he looked down and found her crying. Perhaps he d put a little too much into his
passion. Oh my God, Annie. Did I hurt you?

Annie shook her head, but the tears kept flowing. She pushed him off and he let her. She scrambled
off the bed and ran for the bathroom. Luke jumped up himself, flung the used condom in the trashcan and
pulled on his underwear.
The bathroom door was closed so he had to speak through it. Annie? What s wrong?
Nothing.
Nothing? He knew something when he saw it, and this was definitely something. Luke s mind began
to do crazy things to him. Maybe she did have a boyfriend now. He could be back home where she lived.
She might have met him over the break. Luke scrubbed a hand over his face. Thinking back, he realized
somewhere in there she d said the word don t , but he d ignored it and kissed her anyway. He should have
stopped.
I m sorry. I m so sorry. He leaned his head against the door and spoke probably too softly for her to
hear him, but it was all he could manage. Losing Annie to another man would be hard enough. Losing her
after he d made her cry well he d never be able to forgive himself for that, or forget her tears.
He heard the doorknob rattle and took a step back, relieved she d at least come out so they could talk.
