answer is no, I don’t believe you. I know you’re in love with me,” Sky said, climbing out of bed and catching his hand and drawing him to her.
    He went willingly, lift ing her, cupping her little butt in his hands, his cock hardening from her nearness. The look in her not-so-innocent eyes hit him like a bolt of thunder, the feel and smell of her indescribably soft skin, the firm curve of her sweet, sweet ass made him crazy. The thought of other hands touching her, other eyes relishing the sight of her, other men believing she could belong to them, pushed him past rational thought. He had to set her free, he had to let her find a better man to love.
    He and Sky talked and texted a hundred times a day, that was something he would never admit to Hadley or Holden. He was a fucking love sick, infatuated, out of control mess when he was near her and it wasn’t much better when they were apart. He liked order and control in his life and with her, he was anything but controlled. Throughout the night he had ravaged her body and even as raw and swollen as she was, she welcomed his every kiss and touch. She was like a drug that his body craved and his heart had followed suit. It was so fucking clear that he would play out Finn and Alex’s love stories. He would push her away just enough while he played his war games and she would find a man to replace him. Then he would spend all the days of his future trying in vain to forget her.
    L ust drove him as her arms circled his neck and her legs wrapped him so tightly he never wanted to be anywhere else. They crashed into the wall and he said he was sorry over and over and she said she was happy that she could make him as miserable as she felt. She held onto him desperately as he placed his hands against the wall and held her there, thrusting into her, eliciting small cries from her that grew louder as the searing pleasure raced through her. She climaxed once, twice, and then he followed her lead, falling over the edge of reason, both of them ecstatic and bereft and more deeply in love than ever.
    Afterwards when they were too exhausted to make it across the room to the bed , they lay on the thick carpeting panting, their skin shining with sweat.
    “I do have a plan for my future, it’s been in my mind for years and although my life without you will be nearly impossible to bear, I can manage it. My mother taught me how to carry on in the absence of love and affection. Both of my mother’s, really, Amanda and Lizzie, neither of them wanted me.”
    “Sky, love, I do want you…”
    “Don’t say that anymore, Atticus. I know you do, but you want a different life even more. You feel the need to punish yourself and its complete bullshit. Anyway, I’ll keep modeling to pay for college and law school, the person I want to pattern my life after is Charlotte. She’s always been my hero so I’m going to become an unstoppable attorney. If I ever see you again, Atticus, I’ll be an entirely different woman.”

    “What would you like to do tonight, what would make you supremely happy?” Atticus asked that evening as they dressed in clothing a courier had delivered from Barneys New York.
    It was their last night together and h e dressed in black slacks and a sapphire-blue shirt that molded over the taut muscles of his shoulders, chest and arms, and it was the same vibrant blue as his eyes.
    Skyler wore a short black slip dress with spaghetti straps that cradled her high round breasts and moved provocatively over her little round ass when she walked. She slipped into a pair of outlandishly sexy Kate Spade kitten-heeled sling-backs, and barely had time to grab her snakeskin clutch before Atticus led her out the door.
    “Okayyyyy, you ask ed me where I want to go and then you drag me out the door like there’s a fire or something,” she said as he trapped her against the mirrored wall of the elevator with his hands sliding under the floaty hem of her dress. Her breath caught in her
