She laughed and covered his lips. "Shh!"
He grinned, and then took over the kiss, rolling her onto her back as he moved over her. She knew then that he'd been holding back because of Gabby, but now that she'd given him the green light, he was going to pour it all on.
And it was delicious.
He palmed her belly, then slid his hand up her ribs and across her breasts, taking her tank top with it. He slid the straps over her arms, kissing his way along her collarbones. Earlier, at the hotel, it had been hot and desperate, the culmination of a decade and a half of wanting.
This time, she felt the leisure in Keegan's kiss, as if he wanted to melt every moment into a timeless wonder of adoration, love, and ecstasy.
And she let him. Sofia surrendered completely to him, tipping her head back when he nibbled on her neck, as his hands found the waist of her shorts and tugged them over her legs, his hands gliding over her skin with seduction unleashed.
He stripped out of his sweats, and when he pulled her against him, there was absolute surreal joy of the skin-to-skin contact along the length of their bodies. Total surrender. Complete trust. Magical intimacy.
Keegan took his time with her, kissing and loving on every part of her body, one at a time, then back again, until her body and soul were a swirling inferno calling to him. To Keegan. No one else, but Keegan.
As he moved over her, she locked her feet behind his lower back, feeling his muscles flex beneath her touch. Her hands on his shoulders, basking in the strength that he'd surrendered to her.
Her body welcomed him, as if she had been waiting for him her whole life. The connection was brilliant, magical, and without any walls between them. He smiled at her. "My beautiful Sofia," he whispered as he leaned down to kiss her.
"Yours?"
"In my heart, yes. But free? Always." He moved then, distracting her before she could respond.
She went with it, surfing the waves crashing down around them, bigger and faster and harder, until she finally let go completely and let the wave take her, cresting with Keegan as they both gave in at the same moment, together, bonded, complete.
And shortly thereafter, she let herself fall asleep in his arms, completely surrendering to him to keep her safe while she slept.
And in the morning, when she woke up, he was still there. Holding her. Entwined around her.
She smiled as she breathed in the feel of his body wrapped around her, realizing that she didn't feel trapped or panicked.
She felt happy. At peace. Like she was where she belonged. "Oh, Lordy," she whispered to herself. "This is much too complicated."
"Yep," Keegan said, surprising her, because she thought he'd been asleep.
She rolled over to face him, smiling when he kissed her. "Good morning."
"Good morning, my love. You ready for a trip on a private jet?"
She laughed softly. "A private jet isn't my thing."
"Well, lucky for you, it's my thing, so I've got you covered there. Teamwork makes the dreamwork, right?"
She rested her hand on his cheek. "It's so tempting to lie here forever."
"Right? We could get Gabby to wait on us. I'd bet she'd make a good minion."
Sofia laughed out loud at that. "What sixteen-year-old wouldn't make a good minion? They're all so malleable at this age."
"That's what I hear. I'm looking forward to finding out."
Her chest tightened slightly. "What kind of role do you want in her life?"
He smiled. "Sweetheart, I'll never get between the two of you. I couldn’t even if I tried, because the bond you two have is incredible. I promise you that. I also promise you that she'll never have to wonder if she's enough for me. I'll never let her down, and I'll never hold her back. Other than that, how about we see how things unfold?"
Sofia nodded, her throat suddenly tight. "I wish my dad had been like that."
"Wish mine had too, but we can only move forward." He kissed her again, then smacked her lightly on the ass. "Let's get moving. Planes don't wait for anyone."
