The Immortal Greek
““I’m sorry.”
He moved his empty plate out of the way and reached his hand toward hers on the table and took it in his. At his touch, Ravenna locked eyes with him, her black pupils liquid with unshed tears. Her fake smile dimmed and he saw through her again, sensing the hurt and the shame she had experienced as if they were his own. He got up from his chair and rounded the table to stand beside her. Without saying another word, he pulled her up and embraced her. His hands roamed up and down ...her back, caressing her, soothing her. He kissed the crown of her head and rocked her. She let him. Earlier, he had teased her because he needed to teach her she could burn with desire and act upon it by, for once, letting someone else, him, take care of her.

The intensity of his longing to feel her, the whole of her, had grown steadily. Now, his core was a supernova.MoreLess
