He moved suddenly, turning me around. I found myself on my knees facing away from him, the sofa cushions soft beneath me. His arms encircled me from behind, lips exploring the sensitive spot behind my ear that always made me shiver.

His fingers found their way between my legs, skilled and deliberate. I couldn’t stop the sounds that escaped me as he touched me exactly how I needed.

“Let me hear you, he murmured against my shoulder.

Our remaining clothes disappeared in a blur of movements. I climbed back onto his lap, facing him this time. Our eyes locked as our bodies joined.

“Ahh, I cried out, adjusting to the feeling of him filling me again after so long.

I moved slowly, deliberately, my body having its own conversation with his. Each rise and fall was both accusation and acceptance; I was angry at his secrets but couldn’t deny how much I’d craved this connection.

His hands gripped my hips, guiding my movements. His chest rose and fell rapidly with heavy breaths.

“Baby. My Sabi. I’ve missed you so much,” Caelan said, voice rough with emotion.

I made a noncommittal sound, followed by small, broken moans as he suddenly thrust upward, quickening our pace.

“Slow down, Caelan,” I managed between breaths.

“Hmm, what did you call me?” A smirk played on his lips. “Baby.”

“Caelan. Jerk. Liar,” I shot back, even as my body betrayed my harsh words.

He laughed softly but drove into me harder. “Wrong answer. Call me husband. Then I’ll go slower. Okay, baby?”

“Husband… ahh!” My words dissolved into cries as he hit exactly the right spot.

“I love you, baby,” Caelan declared.

In one fluid motion, he lifted me up and carried me to the plush rug. We tumbled down together, with me on my back and him hovering above, arms braced on either side of my head. His kiss transformed from desperate to tender, a different kind of intensity.

He guided me onto my side, positioning himself behind me. One arm wrapped around my waist while his other hand captured my wrist, gently pulling my arm behind me. The subtle restraint sent electricity through my body.

My moans came in fragments as he set a rhythm that had my body responding on its own. I’d already climaxed once, but he clearly wasn’t finished,

Caelan pulled me to my feet, backing me against the living room wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he supported my weight. The cold wall against my back contrasted sharply with the heat of our bodies, heightening every sensation.

Our movements grew more frantic, our breathing intertwined. My arms encircled his neck, holding on as if he were my only anchor.

When release came, we trembled together. I rested my head on his shoulder, tears sliding down my cheeks and onto his skin.

My legs felt like jelly. Every muscle in my body had turned to liquid, and I could barely keep myself upright.

“I feel like my legs are completely gone…” I whispered against his chest, my voice weak and breathless.

Chapter 189

Caelan pressed a gentle kiss to the top of my head. “Then let me take care of you.”

He scooped me up effortlessly, one arm beneath my knees and the other supporting my back. My head lolled against his shoulder as he carried me toward the bathroom.

The warm tiles felt cool against my bare feet when he set me down. I leaned heavily against the marble counter, watching him through half-closed eyes as he turned on the shower. Steam began rising from the cascading water.

Caelan tested the temperature with his hand, adjusting until it was perfect. Then he turned back to me, his eyes soft with concern.

“Can you stand?”

I nodded, though my legs still trembled. He stepped into the shower first, then guided me under the warm spray.

The water felt like heaven against my overheated skin. I closed my eyes and let it wash over me. Caelan’s hands were gentle as he

reached for the soap, lathering it between his palms.

“Turn around,” he murmured.

I obeyed, letting him wash my back with slow, reverent strokes. His fingers traced every curve, every line, as if he was memorizing my body all over again. The intimacy of it made my breath catch.

When I turned to face him again, water dripped from his dark hair into those incredible blue eyes. Without thinking, I reached up to brush the droplets away.

That’s when he kissed me. Soft at first, then deeper as I melted into him.

My back hit the cool tile wall as his body pressed against mine. The contrast between the warm water and the cold surface made me

gasp.

“Caelan…”

“I need you again,” he said against my lips. “I can’t get enough of you.”

His hands gripped my hips, lifting me slightly. I wrapped my legs around his waist, anchoring myself to him as he entered me slowly.

God, yes,

The water cascaded around us, mixing our gasps and moans with the sound of the spray hitting tile. My nails dug into his shoulders as he moved within me, each thrust making me arch against the wall.

“You feel incredible,” he groaned, his voice echoing off the shower walls.

1 could only whimper in response, lost in the sensation of him filling me completely. The steam clouded the glass, creating our own private world where nothing existed except this moment, this connection.

When release finally claimed us both, I collapsed against him, boneless and satisfied.

After Caelan carefully dried my body with a fluffy towel, I stood naked in his bedroom.

He disappeared into his closet and returned with a crisp white dress shirt. “Here”

I slipped my arms through the sleeves, the fabric soft against my skin. The shirt was enormous on me – my fingertips, and the hem barely covered my bottom.

the sleeves hung well past

I rolled up the sleeves with deliberate care, creating neat cuffs at my wrists. The movement made the shirt ride up slightly, exposing more of my thighs.

When I looked up, Caelan’s eyes had gone dark. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.

“You have no idea what you do to me,” he said, his voice rough.

I smiled innocently. “What do you mean?”

Instead of answering, he headed toward the kitchen. “I’m making you something to eat.”

I followed him, my bare feet silent on the cold marble floors. Goosebumps rose on my exposed legs, but I didn’t mind.

Caelan rolled up his sleeves, revealing those strong forearms that I’d always found irresistible. He moved with practiced efficiency, pulling ingredients from the refrigerator.

I leaned against the kitchen island, crossing my arms in front of me. My head tilted to one side, watching him.

“Sabi,” he said without looking up from his prep work, “how did you find out the truth?”

“Dad came to see me at the hospital today.” I played with the collar of his shirt. “He told me everything.”
