Yet I was worried about Lewis, how he might misinterpret my sadness.

We’d come so far in such a short time. We’d offered each other trust so quickly, and I was proud of us for dealing with our past with such forgiveness and understanding. Still, I knew my relationship with Gabriel was a sore spot for Lewis.

I didn’t want anything to ruin what we were building, but I also didn’t want dishonesty between us.

When he strode upstairs into the living room that evening, I waited on our borrowed sofa, my hands twisted on my lap as I picked at a hangnail.

Lewis was already chatting about the lunch he’d had with his dad, but I couldn’t process anything.

“Callie?”

Suddenly, he was in front of me, lowering his tall body onto his haunches to take my hands. Worry creased his brow. “Callie?”

A tear slipped down my cheek before I could stop it.

Fear darkened Lewis’s eyes. “The baby?”

Guilt flashed through me as I reached for his face, not having realized that would, of course, be his first thought. “No. God, no. The baby is fine. I’m fine.”

He covered my hand and lifted it but only to press a kiss to my knuckles. “What’s going on?”

Taking a deep breath, I told him about Gabriel, and I couldn’t help the tears that freely fell down my cheeks.

Lewis muttered a hoarse curse and sat down beside me to pull me into his arms. “I’m so sorry, mo chridhe.”

Surprised, I sniffled. “You’re not upset that I’m upset?”

“Of course not.” He kissed the side of my head. “Baby, I’d be upset if Roisin died. Of course you’re upset. You dated him. He was a part of your life for a while. Plus, the circumstances are awful if that’s true.”

I sobbed suddenly, clinging to him. “I love you. You can never die, Lewis. Promise me.”

He held me closer. “Mo chridhe, I wish I could promise you that, but no one can. I can promise you that I will love you long after I leave my body behind in this world.”

That made me cry harder because the thought of him not being here was utterly terrifying. Suddenly, I needed him. I needed him to surround me and overwhelm me and make the rest of this sad world disappear.

I reached for his mouth, pressing a salty kiss to his lips.

Lewis kissed me back but then pulled away. “You’re upset.”

“I want to forget. Everything but you and me.” I cupped his handsome face in my hands. “Make love to me, Lewis. Please.”

He searched my face for a few seconds and then decision made, he slipped his hands under and lifted me with ease as he stood. I looped my arms around his neck as he carried me downstairs, as if I was the most precious thing in the world.

Lewis lowered me to my feet by our bed and slowly, studying my expression, checking in with me, took my shirt and jeans off. He nudged me onto the bed and hooked his fingers into my underwear. My breath caught, excitement rippling through my belly as he slowly pulled them down my legs. He discarded them on the floor and stood gazing at me spread out on the bed. His eyes zeroed in on that gentle swell of my belly. Possessive wonder filled his expression.

He removed his clothes as slowly as he’d removed mine, taking his time, eyes moving over my body. His erection strained toward me, but Lew ignored it as he climbed onto the bed and bent his head to my stomach. My belly trembled against his touch as he planted soft kisses all over it.

“I love you,” I whispered, a fresh tear spilling down my cheek.

Lewis looked up, his expression tightening at the sight of my tears. “Callie?”

“Don’t stop. Never stop. Always only ever you,” I promised.

He swallowed hard and eyes holding mine, he kissed his way down the swell until he reached the apex of my thighs. Then he gently opened my legs. I lost his eyes as he licked my clit.

“Oh my God,” I whimpered, my back arching, hips lifting into his kiss.

He licked at me until my clit distended and then he sucked.

“Yes, Lewis, yes.” My thighs fell open wider as the tension tightened and coiled. Lewis gripped my hips tight, keeping me right there, as he worshipped my body with his tongue.

I came on a cry of pure bliss, my hips shuddering against him. I was still throbbing and pulsing as he pressed kisses all down my legs, around my ankles, which were surprisingly sensitive, before making his way back up my body. He stopped at the swell of my stomach and pressed a most tender kiss there.

“Lewis.”

My breasts were next on his worship list, and I caressed and touched him as he laved at my nipples, groaning and grinding his hips against mine. My hands slid south, my fingers digging into his perfect, muscular arse, wanting him inside me.
