“I love you,” he whispers.

“Even knowing everything about me?”

“Yes.” He smiles gently. “Nothing could possibly change the way I feel.”

“I love you, too, Cash.” The revelation makes it past my lips before I can stop it. But it’s true. I love him and I want him to know it, even if this won’t last.

His mouth lowers onto mine. My arms wrap around his neck as I push my chest against him, my body ready for him. His fingers tangle in my hair, pulling me to him. I moan as a tingle begins to travel through my core.

The sound of a cell phone ringing jerks me out of the moment. I peel my mouth off of his and look around when Cash reaches into his pocket to switch it off.

“Aren’t you going to pick up?” I ask.

He shakes his head, his lips traveling down my neck, his breath hot and heavy on my skin. “It’s not important.”

It might not be, but the distraction’s just made me realize I need to use the restroom.

“How would you know if you’re not answering?” I push him away gently to stand.

“Good point.” He pulls his phone out of his pocket and peers at the caller ID, frowning. I wait for him to pick up, but Cash just smiles at me, waiting.

Waiting for what?

That’s when it dawns on me. He’s waiting for me to leave.

“I’ll be right back,” I say and head back inside, giving him the privacy he needs.
