Oath of Honor

by Radclyffe

  “Yes you did. I got you.” Wes’s arm came around her and Wes

  kissed her, her mouth possessive and seeking. Evyn kept her eyes open

  as long as she could, until the tenderness and longing forced her to

  surrender. She drew her leg up over the crest of Wes’s hip, pressing

  nearer, molding to her. The brush of hot skin over her clitoris made her

  shudder.

  “Doesn’t seem right,” Evyn gasped, arching her neck for Wes to

  feast, “that I get so much pleasure out of your present.”

  Wes’s mouth skimmed over her cheek, along her jaw. “Be

  careful—shoulder. Remember your shoulder.”

  Evyn nipped at Wes’s neck. “We’ve managed with a banged-up

  shoulder before.”

  Wes chuckled. “I wonder what it will be like when both of us have

  two good arms.”

  “If it gets any better, I won’t survive,” Evyn muttered, rocking

  her center along Wes’s thigh. Her breasts were tense, aching, and she

  wanted to come. She needed it quick and hard, but she held on—wanting

  to hang suspended in this agonizing splendor of need and want and love

  for as long as she could. “God, I love you.”

  Wes drew a sharp breath, her arm tightening on Evyn’s waist,

  urging her to thrust faster. “I really love waking up with you. I love

  how much you want me. You’re so sexy. Are you always like this in

  the morning?”

  “I don’t know.” Evyn’s vision wavered. “I don’t usually wake up

  with anyone.” Evyn dug her fingers into Wes’s shoulder, anchoring

  herself, pressing closer, needing every inch of her skin against Wes.

  Wes. Everywhere, always, Wes. Her orgasm unfurled, escaping the

  tethers of her control, and she kissed Wes hard. “I want to wake up with

  you.” Her hips bucked and she buried her face in Wes’s neck. “You…

  just you. Wes—oh God, I’m coming.”

  Wes kissed her eyelids, her mouth, her throat. “You’re so beautiful.

  I could wake up like this forever.”

  “Stay, then,” Evyn whispered, shattered with happiness.

  Wes grew still. “Evyn, I didn’t mean—”

  “I did.” Evyn drew away until she could look into Wes’s eyes. She

  wanted Wes to see what was in her heart. Trust. Certainty. Joy. “I love

  you. I want to sleep with you and wake up with you as many nights and

  as many mornings as we have.”

  “I thought I knew what mattered before I met you,” Wes whispered.

  “I thought my life was defined by what I accomplished, by what I

  contributed. Those things still matter, but what matters in my heart and

  my soul is you.”

  Evyn found Wes’s hand and brought it to her heart. “I never let

  myself need anyone. I was afraid if I did, all the fears and uncertainties

  I kept locked away would escape. I couldn’t afford to be anything less

  than tough and sure. But I need you, and I don’t feel afraid. I’m stronger

  now, deep inside. I love you.”

  “Then I’ll stay.” Wes kissed her. “For all the nights and days to

  come.”
