head first into those green eyes. "Just say it, Peter."
     
    "Okay. Here it goes." He began rising to his feet. "You drive me crazy Lilly. These past two years have been hell on me. You are all I think about. Even when I tried being with other women, you were the only person I thought about."
     
    "Wait, you've been with other women?" I don't know why his admission surprised me. It wasn’t like I expected him to wait for me, especially knowing how things between us ended.
     
    “Damn, Lilly. What did you want me to do? You didn't give me any indication that you still wanted to be with me."
     
    "That's because neither did you. You wouldn't tell me anything the day I left for Paris. If you would have asked me to stay and not go, I wouldn't have left."
     
    Peter was pacing back and forth in my small living room. I thought for sure he was going to wear my shaggy rug to mere fibers. When he stopped and turned towards me, my heart sank into my stomach. I wish I knew what he was thinking. He soon let me know. He took me by my hands and forced me to stand so that we were face to face. Lifting his hands to my face, he gently cupped my cheeks. "I want us to try again Lilly. I want things back the way they were before you left for Paris."
     
    The way he looked at me, confused me more than ever. I didn't know if this was something that I wanted. I didn't want to go through the same pain I had two years ago. I knew I was the one who left, but he made it clear that he wanted us to go our separate ways. He was unwilling to make it work. I felt there was something more than me just leaving. He was hiding something.
     
    Before I could say anything, my cell phone began ringing. Stepping away from Peter, I found my bag and pulled out my phone. It was Natalie. "Hey, Natalie," I greeted her, hoping she wouldn’t hear the tension in my voice.
     
    "I couldn't wait to call you. I have good news. The seller accepted your offer. Looks like you have a new home for your gallery," she said excitedly.
     
    "That's wonderful. When am I going to be able to start moving in?" I answered, unable to contain my eagerness.
     
    "Well, since it's a cash deal, we can close in a couple of days. I just need to get the proper documents together. I'll let you know the exact date."
     
    "The sooner, the better, Natalie. Thanks for everything."
     
    Placing my phone on the counter, I turned back to Peter, who was sitting on the couch sipping his beer. Walking towards him, I took his half empty beer bottle and set it on the coffee table. Looking at him confused, I said, “This is all too sudden. I needed a little time to think about things.”
     
    Peter placed his hand on my cheek and pulled me close to him. Our lips met without hesitation. My lips parted, wanting to feel his warmth inside. I could feel his softness as he began intertwining his tongue with mine. The warmth of his breath on me filled my senses with comfort. As the kiss deepened even more, he began moving his hands down my body until they rested on my hips. In one swift movement, he lifted my body onto his so that I was straddling his muscular legs. I didn't know how much I wanted, I just knew I couldn’t stop how he was making me feel. No matter what happened between us in the past, at this moment all I wanted was him.
     
    Taking hold of the bottom of his t-shirt, I pulled it up over his head. His chest came into view, which made me desire him even more. I broke our kiss and lowered my head, placing kiss after kiss down his neck to his chest where I placed my mouth over his hard disc. Swirling my tongue around the hard peak, I began lightly sucking and kissing. I heard a low moan escape his mouth as I moved over to the other side and gave his other nipple the same attention. Before I could finish my assault, Peter had me up in the air and on my back. As his large body leaned over me, I watched his muscles contract as he held himself above me.
     
    "Are you sure this is what you want? Because I
