Preface

Mine

Eric leaned in to once again recapture her lips, not allowing any part of her escape for a single moment, seeing as he was going to have to endure an excessively prolonged period away from her before long. Bearing that in mind, he pulled her tighter into his chest and his lips touched the base of her throat; she released a shuddering breath of pleasure at the tenderness of his lips, the way they caused her skin to tickle because his touch was so light yet so completely effective.

"I wish you didn't have to go tomorrow," he mumbled, looking up into the verdant eyes of his girlfriend. Calleigh was lying atop his chest, her own covered by the shirt she had removed from his torso earlier in the night. She gave Eric a sympathetic smile and gently rested her forehead against his.

"It's not too late for me to cancel, you know," she offered, her arms wrapping around his neck.

The proposal was tempting and the greedier side of him wanted to immediately accept the offer, but his conscience automatically stopped him. The opportunity this presented for Calleigh was a once in a lifetime deal and he couldn't deprive her of that.

He brushed his nose against Calleigh's and sighed. "No, you have to go," he admitted reluctantly. "I'm just going to miss you, that's all."

Calleigh leaned in to press her lips to the pulse of Eric's neck before traveling up his vein; she could sense the speed of his heart accelerating beneath her lips.

"It'll only be a month. We're going to be so busy that we won't have time to miss each other." At least that was how Calleigh attempted to cope with it in her mind, though she realized she was going to certainly miss him.

Eric didn't tell Calleigh so, but he doubted he could go a month without longing for her all the while. Nonetheless, he nodded and guided her lips to touch his, determined to lose himself within her for one more night.

The kisses escalated from soft and tender to more intense and even urgent. Eric snaked his arms around her torso and rotated onto his to gently press Calleigh's back against the mattress as he hovered over her and his tongue began to explore the contents of her mouth. His hips began to grind against her own and began to thrust himself into her, a moan of pleasure vibrating from the back of her throat. The sound increased as he put himself deeper within her as the minutes of the night began to dwindle…as did their time together.

In a few hours the alarm would sound and Calleigh would have to leave the warmth of his arms, not to be felt again for four weeks.
