I chuckle, “Don’t worry, baby, I got you.”
Pulling her to stand, I hold her up against my body, letting the now warm water pour down on her before reaching for the soap. I run it quickly over her body and through her swollen folds, cleaning her just enough so that she will be able to sleep. I decide I will shower later because I am not in much better shape than her.
Shutting off the water, I reach out and grab both towels hanging on the rack, wrapping one around my waist and the other around Red before bending down and lifting her delicate body in my arms. She tries to wrap her arm around my neck as I walk over to the bed but it falls limp. Smug satisfaction settles over me. Pulling back the covers, I lay her down on the soft mattress and notice her shiver, goosebumps breaking out across her porcelain skin.
“Do you want me to get you some clothes?” Not that they will be staying on long…
“No. I want you to come warm me up.”
She doesn’t need to fucking tell me twice. I drag the towel off her and get in next to her then pull her soft, naked body up against my hard one. She rolls to her stomach, making a fist on my chest then props her chin on it. A hint of a lazy smile graces her pretty face as she watches me. “That was fun, Walker, we should do it again sometime.”
‘Fun’ is the biggest fucking understatement of the century. “Give me a few minutes, baby, and I’ll gladly do it again.”
Her eyes widen in surprise. “A few minutes. Really?”
I grunt. “My dick hasn’t gone limp since your sexy ass moved here. I could fuck you all day long and still never get enough.”
Her satisfied grin turns into one of her beautiful smiles before she places a kiss on my chest. “I’ve been thinking, Walker.”
Shit, that doesn’t sound good at all… I watch her try to keep her confidence but don’t miss the way she licks her lips nervously.
“I was thinking, since you’re here all the time, maybe—maybe you should bring all your stuff over… permanently.”
I wait for panic to set in but it doesn’t come. I can tell she’s waiting for it too. I thread my fingers in her wet hair, bringing it out of her face. “You sure, Red? It hasn’t been that long.”
“I know what I want, Cade, and that’s you.”
Yeah, but for how long.
She reaches up and traces my lips with her finger. “Forever,” she says softly, as if she heard the question, but I know I didn’t say it out loud.
“Yeah. It’s something to think about,” I agree quietly.
Smiling, she gives me a gentle kiss. “I love you, Cade Walker.”
I stare into her sincere gaze and desperately want to respond, but the thing is, it would be a lie. Because I don’t think there is a word strong enough that describes just what I feel for her. So instead of responding with words, I decide to show her.
Flipping her over onto her back, I slide my hard cock into her tight, wet heat. She gasps in surprise and I still when I feel just how swollen she is. “Too soon, baby?”
She shakes her head. “No, it’s perfect. You’re perfect.” I shake my head at her nonsense, having no idea how I got lucky enough to find this girl.
This time I fuck her slowly and thoroughly. I tell her how beautiful she is and my gaze never wavers from her innocent, emerald eyes, wanting her to see and feel exactly what I feel for her, since I can’t put it into words.
Afterward, I hold her close as she drifts off to sleep and know there is no place on earth that is better than where I am now. And no matter how much I don’t deserve it… don’t deserve her; I will never let her go. Not ever again.
CHAPTER 28
Cade
A few days later, I walk in the front door with Ruthie trailing behind me and see Christopher on the couch, quickly shoving something behind his back.
“Oh it’s you. I thought you were Faith,” he says, relieved, before pulling out the fast food bag that he hid behind him.
Ruthie gasps, “What awe you doing? It hasn’t been a week yet.”
“I don’t care, I can’t do it anymore. I thought I was going to pass out at school today from starvation. I ate what she made me and it did nothing to fill me up.”
I understand what he’s saying. I’ve been feeling the same way; I need more substance. “Why don’t you just tell her then?”
He gives me a ‘you have got to be shitting me’ look, “Yeah right. I’ll never hear the end of it. She will rub it in my face every chance she gets.” That is true. He reaches into the bag and pulls out a couple of burgers and holds one out to me temptingly.
“Don’t do it, big guy.”
My mouth waters at the sight, and my stomach tightens in hunger. Fuck it! I take it then sit at the other end of the couch and waste no time digging in. We both groan and begin to inhale the meat our bodies have been desperately deprived of. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration.
The kid lets out a disappointed sigh and shakes her head, making me feel like shit. Christopher points his finger at her, “You better not rat us out.”
“I won’t have to. Secwets always have a way of toming out,” she lectures while coming to sit between us.
I grunt, knowing Faith filled her head with that shit.
“The only way she will find out is if…” Christopher stops mid-sentence and we both freeze in panic when we hear a car door shut. “Shit! I thought she wasn’t supposed to be home for another hour?”
Me too!
We move quickly, shoving the empty wrappers out of sight. I hear her faint footsteps climb the stairs and realize I still have my burger in hand. Before I can think better of it, I pull the collar of Ruthie’s top open and throw it down her shirt. Fuck! That was stupid. She squeals and laughs but I cup a hand over her mouth and pull her on my lap just as Red walks in.
