Adeline's insides burned with a sweet heat the moment he entered her, the depth of their connection making her catch her breath.
He kept his thrusts slow, letting her adjust to his fullness. Her fingers dug into the muscles of his back, scratching down his spine as their lips tangled into a desperate kiss once again.

Gideon's heavy body collapsed against her for a brief, breathless moment before he pulled out of her. A moment later, he rolled onto his side, laying on the mattress next to her.
"I love you, Adeline," he murmured, a soft smile tugging at his lips as he tilted his head to look at her flushed face.
"I love you too," she whispered, her hand finding his cheek and caressing his jawline.
