Summer didn't know how to start things or if this was right, but she knew she wanted it, it felt right to her. Her whole body was eager for his, feeling needy now that they were pressed so tightly together. She'd never felt this way before, she'd never felt this sort of need until the moment she was in his lap like she was now, the heat of their bodies pressed tucked together, both of them shivering but neither of them chilled.

His hands moved along her body, touching her through fabric and she felt her breath catch in her throat at the idea of him touching her in those same places except without fabric between them. Her eyes opened to look at him when he spoke, melting above him at what he said. "Oh, Leckie..." She knew he knew she loved him for so long too. "I would've loved you no matter what. I still do," she murmured softly against his lips. And with a tiny breath, her hand reached for his, guiding it to the tie of her robe, her stomach churning with nerves as she encouraged him to pull at it.
