Page 39 of Our Perfect Moment

She grinned as he lifted his head to meet her gaze again. There was fire in his eyes, and just seeing how much he wanted her fired her up even more.

Amber wiggled her hips and pressed herself up to him.

Cole groaned again and reached over her head to the coffee table. He grabbed the condom and made quick work of sheathing himself before positioning himself at her hot core, but only for a moment before he pushed inside her.

Amber cried out. The feel of him inside her was…everything. It was only belatedly that she remembered that Josie was sleeping only one floor away. She bit her lip as he moved inside her, bringing her right to the edge of an orgasm that would not be held back.

She wrapped her legs around his back in an effort to keep him even closer.

“Let go, babe.” He kissed her, but only for a moment before the waves of ecstasy started to crash through her. To keep from crying out, she tucked her head into his neck and dug her fingers into his back.

A moment later, he joined her in his own release. Slowly, they pulled away from each other, and shifted so that Cole lay behind her, Amber tucked up tightly against his chest. Cole kept his arm wrapped tightly around her and dropped little kisses along her shoulder and the back of her neck as she drifted off to sleep.

She’d managedto go the entire night without giving any thought to what would happen in the morning, but now, still snuggled against his hard, naked chest, as the warm glow of the morning sun started to fill the room, Amber could no longer ignore the questions that popped up in her head.

“What are you thinking?” Cole kissed the back of her head.

She hadn’t even known he was awake.

“How do you know I’m thinking something?”

He chuckled. “Babe, it doesn’t take a genius to see that you’re busy overthinking something.”

She twisted in his arms. “I’m not overthinking. I’m just thinking. I mean…” She trailed off, unsure how to say what she needed to without ruining the perfect night they’d had.

“Just say it. There’s no point keeping it inside now,” he said. “And besides that, I’m pretty sure I already know what you’re thinking.”

Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. But either way, it wasn’t going to be easy to talk about. Especially considering Amber had zero experience talking about what it was shewantedto do. She was in completely uncharted territory.

After a moment, she nodded. “We do. I mean, what happens next, Cole? Are you coming with me to Toronto? I’m supposed to start my job next week.”

He was quiet for a moment but finally, he said, “If that’s what you want, I will absolutely come with you.”

“You will?”

“Sure. I’ve never been to Toronto.” He didn’t hesitate with his answer, and Amber’s heart swelled unexpectedly. Randy never would have moved for her. It was too soon to think of whatever it was with Cole as a relationship, but…whatever it was, it was nice. Amber turned and propped herself up on her arm to look at him.

“This is crazy.”

“What? Moving to Toronto? I agree.” He shrugged. “But I’ve done crazier things.”

“No. Well, yes. That too.” She laughed even though she felt like crying. “But that’s not what I mean.”

“Whatdoyou mean?”

“You. This.” She shook her head. “Us. We’re talking about tomorrow.” She gestured wildly between them. “We’re talking about…well, more.” It sounded so stupid and so completely insane to say it out loud, but she didn’t care.

“We are.” Cole took her hand and pulled her down to him.

“And that doesn’t scare you?”

He laughed. “It scares the hell out of me.” It took a moment, but then he shook his head and added, “Look. I’ve never lived my life with any kind of plan. It drove my parents crazy.” He rolled his eyes. “I’ve always just gone with the flow of things, and if it felt right, I did it.”

The very idea of going with the flow the way Cole just described scared the hell out ofher. But deep down, it also excited a part of her. A big part.

“And I don’t know about Toronto,” Cole continued. “But I do know that this feels right.” He took her hand and pressed it to his chest. “If you really want to take that job, then okay. I’ll go. I want to be with you, and if that means Toronto, then that’s what it means.”

“What about Australia?”
