what lies in the future. I want this. Make love to me now. ”
“Anna," he breathed in her name then reached for her. " Oh my God, yes. ” His lips claimed hers once more. Familiar. Strong. John.
H e lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
The only light in the room was from the moon outside. But it was enough to see the raw heat in his eyes. The same desire would be reflected in hers as well. It was always like this for them . Whatever happened , no matter how much they might disagree about other parts of their li ves , about Aaron , the ir yearning for each other hadn’t faded.
John smiled down at her . He pulled her against him, his lips moving slowly over hers , creating a familiar need deep inside of her . She wanted him. More than she’ d ever wanted Aaron.
His hands slipped over her body through the barrier of her clothing , touching her , reaching past the walls she’ d erected to keep from living, from moving beyond the past . She shuddered in response to his touch He smile d against her lips. Everything about John was seductive, including his smile.
S trong fingers molded her body, gliding across the edges of her breasts, down to the curve of her hips to cup her bottom, bringing her closer to his full erection.
Anna touched his chest before sliding her hand slowly lower. John grabbed her wrist, bringing her to cover his erection. She could feel his response through the strained material of his jeans. His eyes never left hers .
“ Do you see what you do to me? What you ’ ve always done to me ?”
Slowly , he lifted her up. Her legs circled his waist automatically. They fit together perfectly and yet she wanted to be closer.
Like those times in the past, getting close to John mentally, emotionally was hard to do. Even when he was inside her , she still couldn ’ t seem to reach the part of John no woman had ever been allowed to touch.

Slowly John lifted her blouse above her head. The cool night air brushed across her heated skin. John move d away.
“ No. ” She grabbed his arm. She didn ’ t want to let him go.
“ It ’ s okay. I ’ m not going anywhere. I just want to… God, you ’ re so beautiful ,” h e whispered while looking down into her eyes .

Jo hn lay next to her , his lips moving across hers once more before traveling down her throat and lower. He kissed each of her breasts to arousal through the filmy material of her pale pink bra then he unclasped the bra and tossed it aside. Anna drew in a shaky breath, which brought his eyes back to hers .
All the times they’d spent together like this in the past resurfaced. Their hunger for each other as endless then as it was now. John unbuttoned her jeans then skillfully slid them from her body along with the wispy panties. Anna closed her eyes when his lips trail ed warm kisses across her ribcage and down to her navel, dipping inside.
A shudder of a sigh carried raw desire through her when John ’ s lips moved lower, caressing her inner thigh before slowly drifting upward to kiss the slick outer lips of her sex, d riving her wild with need.
Anna's body arched against his lips . She barely registered that he’d whisper ed her name ov er her own cry of pleasure. His hand cupped her bottom, tilting her pussy toward his mouth as he speared his tongue into her.
Anna ’s head fell back against the pillows , her eyes squeezing shut against the maelstrom of passion washing through her. So good. Intense. His tongue drove deep through her, licking at the walls that were clamping down around it. She whimpered when he pulled out, only to gasp as he
