me.”
    Beryl wagged her eyebrows. “Oh, I will. Now, enjoy your moment of quiet. I will try and keep it that way for at least two days.”
    Beryl climbed into the skimmer with more determination than grace, and she lifted off with a final wave.
    The sound of the ship faded away and Jewel leaned back to look at Stormyo. “You are the forest ranger?”
    He smiled. “I am. The forest and I have already come to an understanding.”
    She had a moment of doubt. “Do you want me here? Did you just want to start over on your own?”
    His arms tightened almost painfully around her. “I want you here. There is only one woman I want in my life, and she is here in my arms.”
    She squeaked but her heart eased. “Okay. Good.”
    He chuckled and pressed a kiss to her ear. “There is not a sentient creature for thirty miles in any direction. I am having a powerful urge to be inside you.”
    She opened the closure of her shirt and stripped off her leggings, bending over a stack of wood and looking back at him. “What is taking you so long?”
    He opened his leggings and his cock was thick and slick. He gripped her hips and pressed into her. Her body gave him a honeyed welcome and she groaned in relief at having him inside her again.
    He gripped her hips and pounded into her while she braced herself on the woodpile. Her breasts felt the scratch of the bark, and her nerves twitched with each harsh slide into her and the suction of the stroke as he pulled back.
    She grinned in triumph when he shouted and dug his fingers into her hips. As he stilled, she remained immobile until he pressed a kiss to the back of her neck.
    “Well, that settles it, Stormyo. You really did miss me.”
    He chuckled and pressed into her as he nibbled at her ear. “I really did miss you.”
    She pushed herself upright against the wood and felt him swelling inside her again. “Oh no, not against the woodpile. That was a onetime offer.”
    He withdrew, and she heard the small snap of him closing his trousers. Jewel looked at her leggings and sighed. At a foot away, they seemed miles in the distance.
    Stormyo lifted her and flipped her over his shoulder, snagging her leggings as he passed.
    She tried to brace herself on his back, but the sweat made her hands slip to cup his butt.
    “Now, now, if you don’t want to start something, hands where I can see them.” He chuckled and shifted his shoulder, causing her to lose her grip.
    She hung from him, looking at the stone stairs beneath his boots and the flattened pathway into the house.
    The hand that held her still stroked lightly down the crevice of her buttocks. She squirmed and his fingers tightened.
    “That should be my line.”
    He laughed and paused, flipping her over his shoulder and sliding her onto the flat surface of his bed.
    He slid on top of her, moving aside the edges of her top. “I have truly missed you.” He licked at her neck and worked his way down her belly before tonguing her until she let out a low moan. Fire followed his every caress and it was dizzying to be in his arms again.
    She circled her hips in invitation, and he left her for seconds in which he opened his trousers and pressed against her before he slid inside.
    The slick, strong fire of him making room for himself within her brought tears to her eyes. While she had hoped that his words of promise were true, there was always a doubt when you were dealing with a man of wide-open opportunities. Living with the Guardians had made things worse. She had seen how men who were much in demand lived with their mates and that was not the situation she had been in.
    Jewel clutched at Stormyo’s arms as he rocked inside her without hesitation, and his undertone of urgency was back again.
    The sounds of sex filled the room, but Jewel was listening only to the change in Stormyo’s breathing that said he was close.
    To speed things along, she slid a hand between them and rubbed at her clit, circling it until she bucked against him without
