Slipping his arm around her shoulders, he let his head fall back. The miracle the Cooks wanted had arrived, leaving him anxious to get back to Cedar Grove to deliver the news personally. “You seem happier than I’ve ever seen you.” She tipped her head until it was resting on his chest. “For the first time in a very long time, I believe in miracles again.” “Sorry you’re not there to…” He lifted her chin with his forefinger. “Don’t be sorry. I’m right where I want to be.” Without a second of hesitation, he leaned forward and their lips met with intense desire. Her mouth slid open, letting his tongue explore her. He slipped his hand along her body to her waist before pulling her into his lap. Sliding on top of him, she placed her knees on either side of him, all without breaking the kiss, her arms locked around his neck, drawing them closer. Passion pulsated in his groin. He wanted nothing more than to take her to bed and have her scream his name. He broke the kiss, enjoying her warm breath over his face.
