For an instant her brain could not take in the significance of the hair roughened, heated flesh under her agitated fingers What…? Then, “Dimitri?” whispered because she couldn’t force more volume from the frozen muscles in her throat

“It is I” His voice surrounded her withover both their bodies

“You shouldn’t be here”

An arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her forward “Should I not?” he asked against her shocked lips

“No I don’t want this” Did she sound as unconvincing to him as she sounded to herself?

Knowing fingers brushed gently over nipples that had gone turgid and aching the moment she realized his naked body stood so close to her own “Are you sure about that?”

“We need to talk,” she tried again, while her body shook with the need to melt into his

“No,” he said with harsh eets us nowhere, but this…” He squeezed her nipple between thuer and she could not stifle her ive you”

“Sex won’t solve our problems It’s what started the one last time to keep hold of her senses

“No It was not the sex When we make love it is like a poeht this distance between us My words Your words I will not let it continue I cannot let it continue”

The urgency in his voice affected her as deeply as the emotive words and she felt tears burn the back of her throat He was right Their distance had been caused by words Making love had never been anything but beautiful between them, even that last tempestuous time

She couldn’t stand the distance any longer either, but undoubtedly for a different reason There in the stea her all along She was not over Dimitri Petronides She would never be over hi, too deeply imbedded in her

Again it was the fossil in the rock, only this time she kneith absolute certainty that to try to rip the love she felt for him from her breast would destroy her completely

She htened around her, bringing her body flush with his own Familiar lips closed over hers in a kiss so passionate, she felt scorched by the heat of it Dimitri nibbled impatiently at her bottom lip until she opened herclai her of the incredible physical bond they had once shared A bond that rejection, distance and time had not been able to sever

Hungry for the feel of hiers trail over the musculature of his chest Hisback as his body shuddered “Yes, moro mou, touch me I need you to touch me”

She had no hesitation about obliging him She’d tried to hide from it, but she’d missed him sohiainst her stomach

Me her would have sent her to her knees, but for the al her hands up his chest and over his shoulders, she got drunk on the ability to touch hiain She leaned forward and took one nipple into her mouth Gently she teased it with her teeth and sainst her with almost uncontrolled desire and she loved it

If nothing else, she knew that in this, he was hers…completely

She started sucking on that same erotic bit of flesh and Dimitri made hoarse sounds of need from deep in his throat Then his hands were on either side of her face, exerting light pressure to her head She let go of his nipple with reluctance

“I want it to be so good for you, you will never leave htening

He pushed against her shoulders until she was leaning against the slick wet tile wall at the back of the square shower cubicle “Press your hands to the wall”

She did it because she couldn’t seem to stop herself

“Do not move them”

“Dimitri?”
