been thinking about it while you were in the shower."
    "Hmm . . . ." She held onto his body tight. "I love you."
    He continued to move at a fast pace, sliding all the way out and slamming back
    inside her. He loved being coated in her juices. Her scent drove him insane. A few minutes later, he spilled inside her. He looked into her amber eyes the whole time he came.
    "You're mine." He placed her on her feet and held her upright. She needed a second to find her balance. "I can't be without you."
    He kissed her before releasing her from his firm hold.
    "You won't ever have to be." She ran her fingers down his cheek. "I'll never leave you."

    But you did leave.
    Trevor had to find a way to make her see how much he needed her. They could
    get back what they had. He'd prove it to her.

Chapter Seven

    Just as Lila settled onto the couch with her cup of hot chocolate, she heard a
    banging in the foyer. She jumped at the noise. As if the wind and rain aren't enough? Now what? When she heard the sound again, she realized it was someone at the front door.
    Who would come out in this storm?
    She ran to the mahogany door and peeked through the side window. Her eyes
    widened when she saw him standing there in his police-issue slicker.
    "Trevor?" She pulled open the door. "What are you doing out here?"
    "Can I come in?"
    "Of course." She stepped out of the way, allowing him entrance. "What are you doing out in the height of the storm?"
    "Checking on you."
    "Me? I'm fine. I told you I would be." She couldn't believe he'd come all the way out here.
    He pulled off his raincoat and unlaced his boots. The rain had soaked through to his pants and shirt. "This is the biggest storm we've seen in years, and you're here all alone. I had to make sure you were safe."
    "That's sweet, but how did you even get through? I heard the road washed out."
    "I made it across, but had to abandon my cruiser at the bottom of the hill. I hiked the rest of the way on foot." He unfastened his holster and hung it on the coat rack.
    "Trevor." She shook her head. "What's wrong with you? That's dangerous."
    "You being here all alone is dangerous." He shivered as he rubbed his hands together. "I had to make sure you were okay."
    "Take your clothes off." She couldn't have him freezing to death in her foyer. Not after he'd risked his life to make sure she was okay.
    "Excuse me?"
    "You're going to freeze. I'll throw them in the dryer."
    "It's not necessary."
    "I insist." She placed her hands on her hips and waited for him to oblige. "Don't be difficult."
    "Should I get naked right here?" He reached for his belt buckle.
    "What, um, no." She felt heat creep up her neck. "There are some towels in the hall bathroom. Wrap one around you, then come sit by the fire. I'll get some blankets for you to cover yourself while I dry your clothes."
    "Thank you, angel." He smirked at the use of his old nickname for her. "I'll place my clothes in the hall."
    "I'll meet you in the family room." She stared at him for a few moments before heading to the closet to grab the blankets.
    She could feel her heart pound against her ribs. He was here, and in a few
    seconds, he'd be naked. How was she going to stay focused? Six years was a long time.
    She'd thought about making love with him more than once, through the years. He'd been the object of her fantasies on more than one occasion. Then there was last night, when she'd thrown her drunken self at him.
    She tried to clear her head. They had been young, and too stupid to know what
    they had wanted, all those years ago. He was nothing more than a teenage memory.
    Any chance they'd had at love ended when he'd married another woman.
    She picked up his clothes in the hall, threw them in the dryer, then made him a cup of hot chocolate. She topped it off with some vanilla, then dropped in some miniature marshmallows. She remembered how much he liked the marshmallows.
    She stopped on the entryway of the family room to watch as he stoked the
