It’s been a year since Ryan O’Connor buried his wife. He was in Afghanistan as a SEAL medic when the call came in that she’d been killed during a robbery. In that time, he returned home, nursed his grief, and joined his former brothers-in-arms in the K2 Special Services.
After breaking up with her psycho ex, Charlene “Charlie” Morgan finds happiness only when flying the friendly skies—as an acrobatic stunt pilot. But the skies aren’t so friendly when her plane troubles turn out to be the work of sabotage.
Looking to forget their worries, Charlie and Ryan run into each other at a bar. The chemistry is instant and intense. It’s only supposed to be a one-night stand. But the memory of their passionate kiss lingers, and when Ryan shows up at Charlie’s flight school, their romance takes off. Yet the route to love has its own turbulence—secrets, lies, and danger. Can one night lead to something lasting?
“Charlie,” Ryan said between harsh breaths as he buried his face against her stomach, squeezing his eyes shut. “Charlie.”
She reached behind them and turned off the water, then knelt in front of him. “No matter what happens tomorrow, this night is ours, okay?”
It was more than okay, and although he wanted to demand that she promise they would be together after tomorrow, he didn’t. “Okay,” he said, and scooped her up, carrying her to the bed.
“We’re wet,” she said, laughing.
“Just makes it easier to slip slide all over you. Or I could lick you dry. Your choice.”
She huffed out a breath. “That’s like asking if I want to win a million dollars or win a million dollars.”
“Some of both then,” he said. As he slid over her warm body, he licked away at the droplets of water on her silky, sweet-smelling skin. She deserved so much more than life had given her, and for that night at least, he would show her how special she was.
He pushed up on his elbows and stared down at her, his breath catching at the hint of sadness in her eyes. Although he wanted to tell her not to be sad, that he would find a way to make things right for them, he wouldn’t promise something he wasn’t sure of.
“Just so you know, Charlene, there’s no one else in this bed with us. It’s just you and me here tonight.” That, he could promise her.
“Just you and me,” she whispered as she pulled his head down.
Their mouths met, explored, tasted each other. Their tongues swirled around each other’s, scraping teeth, their noses bumping as the intensity of the kiss increased. The need for her that swelled through him rocked his soul.
You’re mine, Charlene Morgan, he wanted to tell her, but he didn’t have the right to say it. Not yet. So he showed her with his mouth, with his caresses, and with his body what she meant to him.
