mentally and excite him physically, satisfying him in ways no woman ever had .
Sam pressed a soft kiss to her forehead and closed his eyes . For the first time in his life, he believed it was possible to fall in love . How would it feel to hear Anne say she loved him ? Wonderful, he thought as he drifted off to sleep, absolutely wonderful.

Sam opened his eyes and reached sleepily for Anne, frowning when he found the bed empty . He threw the covers back and hurried to the bathroom, a throbbing hollowness settling in his chest when he found it, too, was empty . She was gone, he thought despondently . Sometime after he’d fallen asleep, Anne had slipped out of his bed and left . Sam hit the wall with his hand.
“Damn,” he swore out loud.
He returned to the bed and dropped down on the edge , feeling cold and empty . He was still wallowing in a pool of self - pity when he heard a soft click as the card key was inserted, unlocking the door.
“Good, you’re awake .” Beth beamed at him . “I brought breakfast .” She set a large bag on the table . “I didn’t know what to get so I picked up a little of everything.”
“You came back,” Sam sighed with relief.
Beth looked at him in surprise . “Oh, Sam, I’m sorry ! I didn’t even think to leave a note.”
“You changed your clothes , too,” he observed, giving the form - fitting sweats and cropped off t-shirt an appreciative sweep with his eyes.
“I always carry a few changes of clothes in the car because I never know when I have to run off somewhere on the spur of the moment. ” Beth crossed the room and leaned over to kiss him , letting out a startled squeak when he pulled her down on the bed.
“Don’t ever do that again,” he growled softly, pinning her beneath him.
“I really am sorry,” she said contritely, pulling him down close enough for her lips to brush his when she spoke . “Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”
Sam wasted no time divesting Anne of her clothing . He thrust into her with a fury , as if the fierceness of his lovemaking could brand her in some way, making her his and only his . Her slender hips rose to meet each forceful plunge, accepting his possession, welcoming it . He rode her hard and fast, the sound of her sexy, throaty moans driving him into a heated frenzy .
Her body went rigid beneath him as she arched her back and climaxed, pulling him into the tailspin of sensations with her . The explosive pleasure hit him hard and it was quite some time before the violent shuddering slowed and then stopped . Sam kissed her hungrily, knowing even as he did so that it would never be enough . When he lifted his head to plant soft kisses down the side of her elegant neck, Anne whispered his name.
"Your breakfast is getting cold,” she said softly.
Sam continued his assault on her neck for a moment longer before lifting his head . “We’ll eat in a minute . Right now, I just need to look at you.”
“I’m not going anywhere, Sam, I promise.”
“I’m thinking of getting a set of handcuffs just to make sure you don’t,” he said gruffly.
“I just knew you were a sexual deviant.”
Sam grinned . “Sweetheart, you have no idea.” He gave her a quick kiss before rolling away from her and s itting up . “I think I need to replenish my energy. ” He stood and held out his hand to help her up . “Let’s see what’s in that bag.”
Sam laughed as he pulled out the huge array of food . He opened each carton as he and Anne grabbed forks and took turns stabbing food from each container . He was amazed at how healthy her appetite was, considering how thin she was.
“Are you a runner ?” he asked, eyeing her lithe form.
Beth wrinkled her nose . “No ! I hate to run, but I do walk the beach quite a bit.”
“You live near the beach?”
“My house is on
