Out of Exile (2002)
“He felt as if he’d been thirsty for a lifetime and Lilly was a swallow of sweet, clean water.
Matthew knew in his heart that making love to her again was a mistake, but as he took possession of her, felt her surrounding him in heat, saw the glazed passion in her eyes, he also knew he couldn’t not make love to her one last time.
After tonight he would stay away from her. After tonight he would never kiss her, never hold her, never make love to her again. But he had to have her tonight.
All after...noon he’d thought about what she’d shared with him, the pieces of her childhood that he hadn’t known before. And for the first time in years he’d ached with somebody else’s pain…he’d hurt with her pain.
He’d thought of the little girl she had been, sitting on a porch, waiting for her parents to return for her. He imagined her pain when the night had passed and they hadn’t come back. He’d ached with the need to wrap her up in his arms and never let her go. He’d yearned to sweep away her past and rewrite it with happiness and love.MoreLess
