Page 9 of Cash (Big Hot Alphas 4)

“Well, the last time I thought this was going to happen, you shot me down.”

I frown. “The last time? What are you talking about?”

“Ten years ago. The day you told me you were moving. I wanted to do this, and you rejected me.”

My chest aches as the memory of that day ripples through my mind. “Is that really how you felt? Fuck. I’m so sorry, baby. It was never my intention to make you feel like that. The timing just wasn’t right. If we’d had sex, it would have made it so much worse when I left. It was bad enough that I was losing you. But to sharethatwith you and then lose you? That would have been a living hell.”

“Oh.” Dani shakes her head, suddenly understanding. “God. Of course.”

“You have no idea how badly I wanted to, though.”

The corner of her mouth lifts. “I think I havesomeidea.”

Fresh desire crackles between us. I lean in to kiss her again. But, once again, Dani presses her hand against my chest.

“Isn’t this kind of the same situation, though, Cash?” she says. “In a few days, we’re going to have to part ways again.”

“Only temporarily.”

She studies me. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying I want to be with you.”

“How? We don’t even live in the same state.”

“I’ll move.”

“Cash. Come on.”

“I’m serious, Dani.” I cup her chin in my hands. “I lost you once. I’m not losing you again. I never worked up the courage to tell you this when we were kids, but I was in love with you back then. I fell in love with you ten years ago, and I’ve never fallen out.”

She gapes at me. “What?”

“I love you, Dani. I’minlove with you.”

As the words hang in the air between us, Dani’s eyes search my own.

“Oh my God,” she says, blinking. “I love you, too.”

This time, when I move in to kiss her, she pulls me toward her. One kiss flows into another, each one deepening, each one intensifying the heat between us. As my hands explore her body, my cock fights against my fly, the desire for her beyond anything I’ve ever felt.

I scoop Dani up into my arms. She laughs as I carry her over to the bed.

“I can’t believe how ripped you are now,” she murmurs as she lies back against the pillow. Her eyes drift over me. “I was so surprised when I first saw you on the beach.”

“You know what I thought when I saw you?” I say. “I thought I’d just fallen in love at first sight. Then I realized it was you, sweetness, and it all made sense.”

Dani lets out a little dreamy sigh. “Come here, Cash.”

I join her on the bed. I undress her, then myself. I kiss my way down her neck, continue through the valley between her magnificent tits, then work my way down her sexy, soft stomach. When I spread her thighs open, I find another kind of paradise waiting for me. I lower my mouth to her glistening wet cunt and taste her for the first time.

Fuck, she tastes like heaven.

My cock aches for her as I run my tongue over her clit again. Dani moans and pushes her hips up, straining for more. I slide my hands beneath her ass, grip her flesh, and dip my tongue into her wet heat, drawing a loud gasp from Dani’s lips.

A few minutes later, she comes against my mouth, arching her back as she cries out.

“Holy shit,” she groans as I draw my head up from between her legs. “I’ve never come that hard. I can’t even—”
