was okay. That she wanted it too.
    Her gaze caught his and she smiled. Then, her legs tightened and her hips rose, taking him deeper. It was the only permission he needed. He released the bonds he’d clung to for far too long and thrust inside her in one hard, deep motion.
    He was buried to the hilt inside Zoey. Neither of them moved as the connection of their eyes never wavered. They simply stared. Soaked it up. For Rob, the moment was almost surreal.
    Everything changes now.
    That idea didn’t scare him. A big part of him was screaming It’s about time!
    Zoey broke the silence first. “I love you, Robbie.” Her eyes betrayed her, glimmered briefly with fear.
    Did she think he didn’t feel the same way? Wouldn’t offer the same heartfelt words? “I love you too, Zoey. More than I can say.”
    It wasn’t the first time they’d said the words, but for him, the meaning was so very different. Did she understand that? Realize the sentiment wasn’t one of friendship?
    Apparently it didn’t matter. Her face cleared and her smile grew wider. “You’re inside me.” The words were laced with genuine disbelief.
    He chuckled. “Damn. How did that happen?”
    “You must’ve slipped,” she teased.
    “Maybe I should try to get up.”
    She nodded. “Just so long as you fall a few more times.”
    Their laughter lasted only a second, only until Rob took her at her word, lifting his hips until he was barely inside her. Then he fell once more.
    They gasped, but they didn’t stop. Over and over, he moved into her until the heaviness in his balls grew almost painfully tight. This wasn’t going to last long. He reached down to rub her clit, refusing to spoil the moment by coming alone.
    The added pressure drove Zoey to the pinnacle fast. The rhythm of her hips, lifting to meet his, became erratic, harder. She dug her fingernails into his shoulders and her eyes drifted closed.
    “Yes,” she hissed. “Oh my God. Robbie.”
    Her pussy clenched, the muscles contracting on his cock too tightly. He groaned, then gave himself up to the inevitable. Stars painted the black sky behind his closed eyelids as pulse after incredible pulse of come jetted out, filling her.
    The only word he could speak flew from his lips. “Zoey. Zoey. Zoey.”
    The strength in his arms gave out and he only just caught himself from collapsing onto her small frame. Shifting to the side, he turned until her back lay against his chest, spooning fashion.
    Neither of them spoke. For minutes, hours, days, they simply lay together, naked, sticky with sweat, complete.
    When the late-morning sun shone through the window, Zoey finally stirred. She rolled over to face him.
    “I suppose it’s after.” Her voice seemed casual enough, but he couldn’t miss the slight tinge of nervousness there as well.
    They’d lain together long enough for his cock to realize once wasn’t enough. Jesus. A lifetime inside her wouldn’t be enough.
    Her eyes widened when his rejuvenating hard-on nudged her stomach. “Robbie—”
    “Can’t help it,” he teased. “I am a big rock star, you know. Insatiable.”
    “You don’t want to talk about this, do you?”
    He did and he didn’t. He knew where his heart lay, but Zoey was in the middle of some major shit right now. As his initial panic began to subside, he wondered if he was wrong to try to drag her into a relationship given all she was about to face. Hell, as far as timing went, his was probably about as bad as it got. He’d had twenty-five years to tell her how he felt about her and he chose the moment her life fell apart to lay it on her.
    “Can I just say I meant what I said last night? I’m not leaving you alone again, Zoey.” Ever.
    If he had any guts at all, he’d say the last word aloud, but he wasn’t sure that was what she needed to hear. She was going to spend the next few weeks making a shitload of decisions about her health, her medical treatment. How could he throw in another wrench, ask her to decide
