Oh, sweet baby Jesus.He’s pulling the string tie at the side of my bikini.

It’s gone.

“And you’rekind,Rox. You’re fun and you’re good and you’rereal.”

I’m squirming here, dying with need, totally naked, while Nate Boone nuzzles and kisses his waycloser, murmuring against the low skin of my stomach.

“Do you know howrarethat is? To find a person that’s gorgeous, sweet, fun, sassy and just basicallyidealin every possible way?”

He’s pushing my legs apart.

“Itisn’tpossible, Rox. It doesn’thappen.Except for you. You’re like a fuckingmiracleof beauty. You’re the only one I’ve ever loved. You’re the one. You’vealwaysbeen the one.That’swhat I would’ve told you.”

Nate licks his tongue over my clit and it’s the craziest thing. I never, ever knew anything could feel this good.

A blooming pleasure rises inside me that’s so powerful I don’t know what to do with it. It’s going to overflow. It’sgoing to push me over an impossible edge I don’t know how to handle except to hold onto him for dear life and just ride it.

But then he slows, licking with lazy intent. “You said it to me but I never said it back. And there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t regret that.”

What?

There isn’t?

His fingers stroke barely into me, finding a slow, wild trigger that forces the pleasure to an insane peak.

Oh my god, I’m almost there.

“I know we haven’t seen each other in a while, but that’s exactly how I’m so sure. I knew it then but I was too young and too green to fight everyone who tried to stand in my way. I can promise you I’ll never make the same mistake again.”

His mouth latches onto my clit, feeding greedily as his fingers glide.

Holy hell, it’s happening.

It overflows, tipping me into a tidal wave of nearly unendurable pleasure, wracking through me in hot, lush waves. I writhe and moan his name as my body clenches hard, over and over.

My hands are weaved through his hair and I’m breathing hard, floating on the bliss of him.

Once the ripples begin to calm, I lightly pull. “Nate. Nate. Come here.”

He climbs up my body, laying half on top of me andhalf next to me. I take his face in my hands and just savor his alpha gorgeousness. I don’t know why I sayalpha, but he is. He’s so fuckingbig and built. Handsome and delicious and so outrageouslymale. I love this about him.

He kisses me. I can tastemyselfon his lipsand it’s the most connective, intimate thing. “Holy hell,Boone.” I’m breathless and dazed. “I’ve never…”

“You’ve never what?”

“Had that happen before.”

“Had what happen before?

“That.”

His eyebrows lift. “Wait. You’ve never had an orgasm before?”

“No.”

He laughs. “You’re a band manager, darlin’, not a nun.”

“I’ll remind you again that I live with my three brothers.”
