Cade wanted to kiss each spot, claiming them as his.

“I was lucky enough to be rescued before they had a chance to rape me.”

Clearing the distance, Cade picked Melinda up, allowing her to wrap her naked body around his. He’d sworn to himself if the heinous act had been inflicted on her, he’d do whatever it took to make her better. Now that he knew the whole truth, nothing was going to stop him from showing his Melinda how deep his feelings ran for her.

Cade covered Melinda’s body with his, running his hand up and down her side as he commandeered her mouth. He craved the way she tasted, all sweet with a hint of mint from either her toothpaste or the gum he’d witnessed her sharing with his nephews.

“Touch me, Cade.”

“I’m getting there, baby.” He assured, leaning back to tug his shirt over his head.

Melinda licked her lips as the sight of Cade’s bare chest. While he wasn't as swollen as his brother, he was well on his way.

Staring down at the beauty beneath him, Cade unbuttoned his shorts, toeing out of them, his underwear taking a ride with them. “Before we go any further, I have to tell you something.”

A pang of hurt stung Melinda’s chest, fearful Cade was going to tell her he was married, and this was all a lie. She hadn’t meant to, but she’d fallen for the handsome horse whisperer.

“Calm down, Baby, I can see the fear in your eyes. What I have to say isn't bad, at least not in my opinion.”

Laying his body beside hers, Cade ran the back of his hand along her cheek. “From the first moment I laid eyes on you, something deep in me stirred. I had the overwhelming need to be closer to you as if there was a magnet deep inside pulling us together. I now understand it was fate, and I never argue with fate.” Cade smiled, placing a kiss to Melinda’s lips.

“I love you, Melinda. I know it’s too soon and completely crazy, but it’s true.”

Melinda gazed into Cade’s eyes, searching for the slightest hint of dishonesty, finding none.

“Good,” she whispered. “Because I love you, too.”

Melinda’s confession sparked something primal inside Cade. She was his, and he was about to claim her. Rolling on top of her, Cade wasted zero time as he covered her mouth with his, sliding his tongue passed her lips, grinding his growing appendage against her hip. He wanted her to know how much he was attracted to her, feeling the proof for herself.

Wrapping her leg around Cade’s waist, Melinda tossed her head back as she felt his cock slide between them, brushing along her wet core. She ached for this man, wanted nothing more than to crawl inside his skin and live there for the rest of her life.

“Relax, baby. Let’s enjoy the journey of getting there.”

“Cade,” she moaned, testing the limits of his ability to hold back. “Please.”

Six little letters fused together to form the single word he couldn’t refuse.

“Next time,” he swore as he circled his tongue around her tight nipple. “Next time, I’m going to make this last for fucking days.” Cade swore as he slid effortlessly into her.

“We’ll—”

The feel of Cade’s cock entering her stole the word from her tongue. While she wasn’t a virgin, she’d never been with a man who was so blessed.

Cade ran his arm under Melinda’s thigh, tossing her foot over his shoulder, gaining a better angel as he pushed into her.

“So fucking good,” Melinda chanted, gripping the sheets on either side of her.

“Hold on,” Cade warned, a split-second before he pulled his cock out of her warm pussy “I have to taste you.”

Melinda didn’t have time to argue before Cade’s tongue was buried deep within her. This was a first, as no man or woman for that matter, had ever gone between her thighs.

Cade smiled when he heard Melina take a sharp breath, adding his thumb to her clit as he exchanged his tongue for his fingers.

“You like that, baby? My tongue buried in your pussy?”

With an approaching orgasm on the horizon, Melinda found herself unable to speak, instead nodding her head with earnest.

Cade could feel how close she was, her inner walls gripping his fingers and her legs began to shake.
