An Answer he Seeked**

Annalise pulled her face back a little bit to look at Kenric's face and as their gazes met, she felt her entire being filling with the warmth of his fire. 

The man moved and shifted into a sitting position with her still straddling him and his hardness buried deep inside her. One of his hands moved to wrap around her while the other took hold of her face as he placed soft kisses over her eyes, the tip of her nose, her cheeks, and the corner of her lips.

His lips brushed against hers and his warm breath fanned her already burning face as he whispered, "That's true, my sweet little wife... I love you..." He confessed again and without giving Annalise any chance to respond, he once again sealed her lips in a deep passionate kiss.

And this time, the kiss felt different, it was more meaningful, more passionate, and filled with the truth of his confession and most importantly... it was more than just fire.
