Her smile was infectious, and I hugged her side on our way back. “Guess we’ll never know, but I’m happy you’re here.”
She curled her arm around my back. “Yeah?”
I stopped and stared into her hypnotic brown eyes that spoke to my soul. “You dropped your entire world to be here for us…”
Her face turned red and she bounced on her feet for a second, locking that lower lip of hers away. She let it go and then said, “For Chelsea, initially, but staying, half of it was for you.”
I pushed her hair behind her ear. “Then, I’m happy.”
The goosebumps on my arms were warm from the simple touch. She sighed at me and asked, “What are you thinking?”
Waiting to have her started to hurt. I lowered my head so our foreheads touched when I said, “I’m thinking I should take you back to my room.”
“Sounds good.” She said and lowered her eyelids and puckered her lips.
I was a sucker, but I claimed her lips like I had rights. I needed to claim her as mine. Now and forever.

I held his hand as we strode through the house. The sun was still high, but it was well past lunch, which we had skipped.
His father and Chelsea were somewhere in the house, though I didn’t look around too much. We passed his family crest on the front door and we headed down the hall.
For years, I’d fantasized about Carter and now, here we were. My heart whispered we were a dream come true.
We passed my room and Carter directed us toward a hall I hadn’t explored and then opened up the last door.
His room was huge. The bay windows showed the brightness of the day that almost blinded the blooming fields. The red of the sky and sun was still bright.
He pressed a button that closed the blinds, and the room darkened.
I glanced up and a thrill rushed through me.
Carter was about to be mine, physically.
My heart thundered in my chest. For years, I’d read and heard about sex that made a woman see the stars, but the truth was… I’d never had that.
Orgasm was written about in the medical books and the scientific journals, so it must be true.
The energy coursing through me from holding hands gave me hope… tonight would finally be different.
He let me go and tossed his shirt on the ground. My lips grew moist.
I’d never seen a man with so many muscles. A six-pack didn’t begin to describe Carter’s deliciousness. He even had that sexy V that led into his pants from those muscles that were more like mountains.
The excitement in my veins strummed through my body. I had to contain myself, or I’d be too wild.
He motioned toward the bed and I glanced at the simple light blue sheets and darker comforter and tried to sway like I was confident though that was a lie.
My heart rate increased, and I climbed on the bed before he touched me.
I was turned on and would soon find out how well he fit into me.
He followed me as I laid on the bed.
He traced my already hot body, making me all steamy, and his lips opened.
