Like most women in dead-end relationships, Holly Markham was used to finding substitutes for love. Like chocolate. Fun times with good friends. Throwing herself into her work. But throwing herself 18 страница

"Look at me." Holly captured Reyna's face in her hands. "I'm going with you tonight, wherever you want to go. I know that before you're done with me I'll be screaming and dying, and begging, and I'll do all I can to make you feel the same way, and there will be nothing you ask of me I won't try, and I'll learn every inch of you again, and it will be magnificent."

Reyna was moving against her as she spoke and Holly could hardly see for the pulsing between her legs.

"But it won't be good enough. Because as bad as I want it, I'm not going with you if you didn't mean you wanted all my tomorrows, even when I'm away. Because that's what I want. No matter how long we have to be apart, I can bear it if I know that I have your future. I give you mine, right now. It's the only thing of value we can give each other."

Reyna's eyes shimmered. "I didn't dare hope. I can't imagine what you thought of me, the way I lied, the hypocrisy of it all."

"We're agreed on tomorrow, right. All the tomorrows?"

Reyna nodded and swooped in for another hard kiss.

"Then we'll talk about that tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll prove to you that I'm not just about sex. Tomorrow. Because tonight sex is all I can think about, you and sex and you —"

Reyna's mouth was on her, traveling from forehead to chin, to her throat. "We have to get going or we'll get arrested."

Holly murmured her agreement, but it was several minutes before they parted, clothing askew.

Reyna pulled her quickly toward the elevator to the next level of the garage, then toward the section where motorcycles were parked. The Virago was at the end.

"You really weren't planning on suitcases, were you?"

Reyna looked chagrined. "I didn't think for a minute that you would want me. I just had to see you. I wasn't even going to speak to you, but then you saw me." She laughed shakily. "But I had hopes of seeing you soon." She unlocked new compartments on each side of the bike and withdrew two helmets and two leather jackets.

Holly blinked away tears. "You sure know how to romance a girl." She shrugged into one of the jackets and then slid across the bike seat.

Reyna bent over her to secure the helmet, then kissed her again. "Would you mind going to the same place as before? I want to finally have a tonight become a tomorrow there. I think I'll believe it then, that the past has actually led to this future. With you."

Holly wrapped her arms tightly around Reyna's waist and let the wind blow away the past. She felt fused to Reyna again, one body, one heart, one skin between them. Tomorrow was subject to random chaos — her intellect told her it was unquantifiable. But she had the constant she needed to solve the equation, at least for herself. The constant was their future. It was the only solution that mattered.
