And I want to be sure she didn’t want me to.

Suddenly, I am filled with the overwhelming desire to spend all night inside Candice, familiarizing myself with every curve, every scar, and every inch of her skin.

I’m eager to discover all of it.

“Yes,” she answers, fiddling with my jeans buckle.

My heart is beating faster now, drowning out everything else.

I reach down, and with one motion, pull her shirt off, exposing her perky breasts. I place my hands on her, lightly squeezing them in my palms.

Finally, she has me free from my pants and my thick cock springs from my jeans.

“Commando,” she smiles as she reaches down, taking my thickness in her hands.

While kissing her, I take my pants off, and hers as well. She is nearly naked in front of me. Only her panties remain, and damn do I want to pull them off with my teeth.

“Do it,” she says as if reading my mind. I smirk and head down her body, planting kisses all the way.

I stop at her wet centre. I can see the moisture staining her panties. With my teeth, I take the left string just over her hip and begin pulling them down her legs. In no time they’re off and I’m face-to-face with her heated core.

It takes everything in me to hold still and not rush through it.

Candice puts her hands in my hair and pulls as I sink my face into her center, tasting her goodness.

“Mm,” she lets out a moan and I feel myself grow harder.

Is this what I’ve been missing out on?

All at once, I find myself grateful for the fact that, out of all the bars in the world, Candice stepped into mine.

Candice links her fingers over my neck, and I growl.

I thrust my tongue deep, pushing it against her clit. Her hips jolt forward, pushing up her ass, bringing her closer still.

As I play with her, her back arches as she lifted her ass off the couch. I feel her throbbing nub against my mouth and knew that she was ready.

Fuck.

Every last cell in my body screamed her name.

Pulling back, I pick her up and throw her over my shoulder. She giggles as I smack her ass while I carry her to the bedroom.

I toss her onto my bed. As she lay splayed on my sheets, I can’t imagine wanting anything more than I wanted her.

Nor do I want to imagine anything else.

Candice is finally back in my life, and I have no intention of letting her go.

I’m going to spend all night showing her just how much she means to me.

Chapter 8

Isee Joseph standing over me, his naked body glistening underneath the moonlight, and my entire body trembles. Slowly, I sit up on my legs and try to think past the hammering of my heart, and the rush of emotion rising within me.

He is beautiful.
