My heart soars and tears begin to fall. “You have no idea how happy you make me.”

“We’re just right, Lee. I’m not saying we won’t have ups and downs, but I’ll be by your side the entire time. Even when I have to be away from you, I’m with you.”

I shift forward and blow him a kiss. This man has shown me love when I never thought it would exist again. He gave me faith to open myself to him and that he’d protect me. Even when he pushed me away, it was to protect us. The love we share is once in a lifetime. It may have taken a tragedy to bring us together, but it’s true love that binds us.

“I love you, Liam Dempsey.”

“I’m thinking you should prove it,” he winks.

“Oh, and how do I do that?” I smile as his eyes begin to smolder.

“I want to see you, sweetheart.”

I smile and shake my head.

“I want to hear you, watch you come apart with my voice. I need you so bad and this is the best we can get.”

If I ever planned to do this with him, there’s no other time possible. I’ll be unmistakably pregnant soon and then I definitely can’t.

I grab my laptop, shut off the light hoping to hide the bump I have now, and head toward the bed. “I’ve never done this.”

“Me either, sweetheart, but I’m dying and I want to do this with you. If I can’t touch you, I need to see you and feel you in my mind.”

With just the dim light from the setting sun, I glow. I smother my nerves and take my top off. I watch his pupils dilate and hold on to that to keep my confidence up. My heart races as I watch him settle into his bed. “I’m not going to be the only one naked, am I?” I ask.

Liam grins and removes his shirt. My mouth goes dry as I see the sinews of his muscles move. I want to touch him so badly. My hand reaches toward him, but all I can do is close my eyes and imagine the feel of his skin beneath my fingers. “Remove your bra, sweetheart.” Liam’s voice is hushed but full of heat.

I watch Liam as I move my hands behind my back and stop. Instead, I move my hands to my shoulders and slowly drop the straps down. “Like this?”

“You’re so beautiful,” he rasps.

Slowly, I remove my arms from the straps and then reach back and undo the clasp. When my bra falls, the moan that escapes him causes heat to flood my core.

“If I was there, I’d touch you. My hands would be everywhere. Do you wish I was there?”

“Yes,” I breathe and my eyes flutter. This is the most erotic thing I’ve ever done. He’s thousands of miles away and still makes me feel sexy. Liam’s voice drops low as he groans when I push my hair back, giving him a full view.

“Show me how you want me to touch you, Lee. Where do you want my hands on your skin?”

My fingers move from my stomach to my breasts. I close my eyes and listen to his voice as I imagine it’s his hands on me.

“I’d latch my mouth on your breasts. Suck each one and let my tongue roam over your gorgeous tits.” His husky voice drawing out a moan.

“Liam,” I whimper.

“My mouth would be over every inch of you. I’d kiss you, touch you, lick you . . . I’m so fucking hard imagining how you taste.”

I open my eyes and need to see him. I don’t care that we’re through a computer. All I need is him. “Show me,” I request.

Liam stands and removes his shorts and boxers. He doesn’t move, allowing me to see every bit of his body. I long to touch him, feel his body in my hands. “I wish . . .”

“I’m there with you now, Lee. I’m right in front of you. Tell me,” he commands.

“My fingers would be on you.” My voice is breathy as desire courses through my veins.

“Where?”

“I would trail up your arms,” I close my eyes and mirror the movement on my own skin. “Making sure I feel every muscle. They remind me how strong you are and how safe you make me feel.” Liam moans and it emboldens me to go on. “My fingers would glide across your shoulders and to my favorite part of you—your chest.”

“You’re killing me, sweetheart.”

I open my eyes and look at him as his hand grips his cock. He pumps it slowly with his eyes closed and his head back. I want to crawl through the screen. I’ve never been so turned on in my life. Watching him jerk off to the sound of my voice and the promise of what I’d do is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.

“I would kiss each part of your chest. Slowly trail my tongue down your torso but keep my hands on you. I’d go slow over each ridge and dip in your skin. Feel how your muscles tense when I touch you before taking you in my mouth.” Liam stops and his eyes are molten lava.

“Take your clothes off, I need to see you.”

I remove my pants and underwear. We’re both naked and so far apart, but right now, we’re together in every way.

“Are you wet for me? Show me,” he prompts. The heat in his eyes makes me want to give him whatever he wants. I lie back on the bed and hope the camera angle allows him the visual he wants but still trying to hide a little. “Fucking hell, Lee. What I would do to you right now.”

My skin is on fire. I slowly touch my breasts as they’re weighted and very sensitive.

“That’s it. Touch yourself for me,” Liam encourages. “Go slow and pull at your nipples. Yeah,” he moans and I imagine him touching himself. “Glide your fingers down to your pussy, sweetheart.”

I hesitate for a second, but the need to ease the build is too much. My hand moves from my breasts down past my stomach. I pause, thinking of the baby for a moment, thinking I should tell him, but Liam speaks again.

“I love you, Lee. Let me love you with my voice.”

It’s not the time and this would surely kill the mood. “Tell me, Liam.”

“I’d go slow, driving you crazy with need. I’d push your legs further apart so I could see all of you. Watch you pulse as you crave me. Then, I’d lower my mouth to your pussy and take one long lick.”

I swear I see stars. His voice is thick and full of promise and I could come apart right now. My finger presses against my clit and I rub small circles.

“It would just be beginning as my tongue would push inside of you and I’d fuck you with my mouth first. There’d be no finesse, just pure passion. You taste like heaven and I’d want to stay there forever.”

“Oh my God,” I groan as I climb higher and higher.

“When I feel you tighten around my tongue, I’d stick my finger inside and twist until you were gripping me so hard that your body is begging for my dick.”

“I’m begging now,” I moan.

“I know. Make yourself come. Show me how bad you want me.”

My pace quickens as I listen to his grunts and groaning. I lie on my bed imagining it’s his hands, his mouth, and his touch.

“Only you, Natalie. Only you can make me this fucking hard. Make it this impossible to do anything but think about being with you,” Liam coaxes me as I writhe. “I’m touching you. Wishing it was my hands on your beautiful body. My tongue would be in your mouth as I sink into you, claiming you with each stroke as you come apart on me.”

I explode. My body shakes as I have one of the strongest orgasms of my life. I cry out and my breath comes is short gasps. I turn my head and catch Liam last second as he follows me over the edge. He moans my name and cleans up.
