Penny and Hobbs' story continues. With the events that happened in Brazil Penny just tried to keep herself hidden and live her life by the beach. Karma has an entirely different plan for h...
"Luke . . ." I whispered, feeling the tears pooling.
"I was wondering when you were coming back." he asked.
"How long have you been here?"
"I got here two days ago, today was gonna be my last try since no one gives up any information on you. If I came back and you weren't here then it was time to move on." he said as he walked closer.
"You should've given up and moved on after Brazil. You should have moved on as soon as you found out I assisted with Dom's breakout."
"I'm never going to give up on us, Penny. I love you and I know that you love me, I can see it in your eyes right now."
"You don't know what you're talking about."
Suddenly he was standing right in front of me. He took my face softly in his hands, brushing away my tears with his thumbs.
"Luke . . ."
"There she is." he whispered before leaning in for a kiss that left me breathless.
He just . . . devours me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and just pulled me in. I can't fight it or him, I don't want to anyway. He pulled back to look at me, combed his fingers through my loose hair tenderly to pull it away from my face. Again he lowered his lips to mine slowly, I wrapped my arms around his neck and let myself sink until we had to come up for air.
"New hair?" he asked.
"I was ready for a change."
"It makes you look different, it's pretty but it's not the same Penny that I'm used to."
"That Penny is gone, she's been long gone for a while."
"No, she's here in front of me. My Penny." he whispered.
He swept me up, making me feel light as a feather as he carried me to bed. The universe and karma knew something was gonna happen tonight, must be why I decided to travel in a dress when I never do that. His eyes kept moving down to the zip front. Luke laid me down in the middle of the bed and just looked at me again.

"You have no idea of how much I want to touch you, how much I need it. I dream of you and when I wake up I'm alone but I can smell you as if you just got out of bed. Why are you punishing me?" he asked.
"I miss you too. I dream of you and cry when I wake up and you're not there." I admitted, taking his face in my hands.
"Why do you keep punishing us then?"
"I can't go back and you know it. I would never ask you to leave it all behind because I know that you can't. I love you Luke, so damn much, but we can't be together."
"That's not true, I've been looking for you for so long and I finally found you, right when I was gonna give up. It has to mean something, I know that it does."
