touch was gentle, yet determined. With concentrated effort, I gave her what she wanted. I eased into her body, filling her. My gods, she felt like home. I thought about everything except this very moment. I didn’t want it to end before it really began.
    Her yellow-orange eyes grew large. “Adam,” she whispered repeatedly. Her hands were on my back, her fingernails scraping my back.
    Our eyes locked and I began to move slowly at first, but my concentration broke. The tiny tremors were quaking through her and I couldn’t keep a hold of myself. I thrust faster and faster into her tight channel.
    Luna cried out my name as she gripped my ass with her hands. Her legs were locked around my waist as I finally let go of my control. With a final thrust, I buried myself so deep inside of her I wasn’t sure where I ended and she began.
    I rested my forehead against hers and let my breathing return to normal. I opened my eyes and saw Luna was crying. Immediately, I rolled to her side and drew her into my arms. “I’m so sorry,” I said. “Where did I hurt you?” She began to shake and I realized she was laughing.
    “That was incredible,” she said. “I really think we need to do that more often.”
    I smiled at her. “A lot more often.” I kissed her swollen lips. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to be swept away into the land of dreams. For the first time since returning home, I slept through the night.
       

Chapter Thirteen- Luna
     
    The sun wasn’t up when I climbed out of my bed. I hated to leave Adam’s side, but I had to open the store. I put on a pot of coffee and took a shower. I was sore, but pleasantly so. We had woken each other a couple of times throughout the night and loved each other thoroughly.
    I smiled as I soaped my whisker-burned breasts. My inner thighs were in the same condition as my breasts, but I wasn’t complaining at all. It felt good. I rinsed off and grabbed my robe. Adam was still snoring softly as I dressed in my usual outfit of jeans and a t-shirt.
    I poured a cup of coffee and carried it to the bedroom. I put the coffee on the nightstand and rubbed my hand over Adam’s chest. “Hey, babe, time to get up.” His hand grabbed my wrist roughly and twisted my arm. He had an awful sneer on his face. “Adam, wake up! You’re hurting me,” I cried.
    He slowly opened his eyes and came fully awake. Realizing what was happening, he let me go.  I stepped back from the bed and rubbed my arm.
    “Luna, are you okay?” he asked as he threw the covers off.
    I nodded.
    He reached for me, but for a moment I hesitated. That was all it took to break Adam.
    “I’m so sorry, honey. I didn’t realize what was happening. One moment I was sleeping well. The next moment, I was back in the middle of a war I didn’t want to be in. By all I hold holy, Luna, please believe I would never hurt you.”
    I allowed him to look at my wrist and arm. It hurt, but not as bad as Adam thought it did. His lips brushed against the red marks. I would have bruises where he gripped my wrist, but I could deal with it.
    “I know you wouldn’t hurt me, at least not intentionally. Geesh, Adam, I’m not stupid, you know,” I said, trying to lighten the mood.
    Adam pulled me against his chest, his big hands smoothed over my hair. “I am very sorry,” he said.
    I looked up into his eyes. “I’m a big girl, Adam. I can take it. It takes a lot to break me, remember that, okay?”
    He kissed each of my eyelids, followed by my nose, and my lips.
    “Let me take your coffee to the kitchen and get you a fresh cup. You take a shower and I’ll warm up a chocolate croissant for breakfast.”
    He kissed me again before letting me go.
    I poured out his coffee mug and poured us each a fresh mug. My hands were shaking and my insides were all in knots, but I refused to allow Adam to see any fear. It would push him away from me and I would be damned if that would happen.
    He saw a therapist about his issues, I knew that. Now,
