The Last Kiss by M. R. Murphy

slicker with sweat with very step he took. The air was thick and humid even in the Texas desert as sweat beads trickled down his brow.
    It had been a few months since he last saw her, and only on a whim chance, he had arranged for her to fly down to his base. His heart tripped into overdrive as he imagined her in his arms again, kissing her urgently, feeling her body pressed against him. He had spent the better part of the day setting up their hotel room littering the bed and floor with flower petals and scattering candles all over the room. He had meticulously staged it for the perfect seduction. Aidan would do whatever it took to make her forget the haunting darkness of the past that lingered in her eyes. He vowed to free her from those nightmares, at least for the night.
    The drive to Austin dragged as traffic flooded the highways. His nerves were on edge, and he prayed he'd make it in time. He could picture the look on her face when she saw him waiting coyly at her gate, flowers in hand, ready to pull her into his arms for a long awaited kiss. Her eyes wide, as her smile and a resplendent blush deepened the closer she stepped toward him. His cock twitched as he imagined the feel of her lips on his. He dreamt of bringing her closer still as he slid his hand to the small of her back to keep her locked in his embrace for however long she'd allow. Smiling at the idea of staring deep into her eyes for the first time in months, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel and gunned the accelerator.
     
    With only minutes to spare, he slammed the shifter into park and jumped out of the truck before the engine had even shut off. His stomach twisted in knots as he gunned it for the entrance. Checking his watch, he realized her plane would be landing any minute. Sweat trickled down his tight muscled back from the heat of another desert day as he hurried toward her arrival gate. Clutching the flowers in his hand, he checked the board looking for her flight information. The blinking notification of her arrival sparked a new wave of anxiety rushing like lava through his veins.
    He paced the length of the waiting area, his heart thrumming in his ears, and his eyes locked on the doorway she would exit from. Minutes felt like forever as he waited for her to appear. As he turned to start another lap, she was there, glorious and glowing like an angel. His angel.
    A feeling of relief washed over him the second she appeared. The blue sundress―his favorite―allowed her dark hair to sway down her exposed back. He felt the heat in his cheeks ignite the closer she walked to him. He couldn't help admiring the delicious sway of her hips as she sauntered closer to him. She had all the grace of a siren coaxing him with a cunning crook of her slender finger. His breath caught the moment he saw her eyes glistening as she smiled wide.
    “Hey.” she called to him, her smile glowing. The heat in her stare sent shivers coursing through him, he longed to caress her soft skin and indulge in a taste of her natural sweetness. All in due time He told himself, trying to tamp down the urge to pull her into his arms and ravage her from the halo of her dark hair to the tips of her tiny toes.
    “Hi, sweetheart.” Aidan smiled and handed her the mixed colored roses. “I missed you.”
    His heart nearly exploded when she blushed. Pulling her close, he nestled into her neck, inhaling her sweet, sugary scent. “Mmm,” he growled into the soft curve of her throat, before pecking a kiss just to taste her on his lips.
    “I missed you, too.” Her lips slipped up to his, as she sliced her way into his wanting mouth with a kiss that surprised him with its urgency. He couldn't deny the fact he wanted this. The rigid length of his throbbing cock sang the same tune, as he pressed her body against his. There was no hiding his true desire. Every curve of her sinuous body felt so incredible against him. He hoped and prayed the fire searing through his veins didn't burn
