Now, we did.
“You really didn’t dateanyonewhile I was gone?” I asked.
“You think I was lying?”
“No. But you’re gorgeous. Sweet and strong and amazing. I’m sure men have wanted you. Asked you out.” My gut swirled with nausea at the idea of her with someone else, but facts were facts.
“Some did.”
“And you said no?”
“I said no,” she whispered. “Even when you were gone, you were the only man I wanted. No one else came close.”
I lifted my head to kiss her. “I never felt a thing for any other woman. I’m the idiot who refused to acknowledge why.”
“Were you lonely?”
“I would’ve said no,” I said softly. “But I think I was. No one could ever replace you.”
Sorrow crossed her beautiful features. “Did you ever think about coming back here?”
“All the damn time. At the end of every season, when Ihad to pick a new place, I thought about Colorado. Deep down, I probably knew I’d end up back here eventually.”
“I guess I was holding on to that hope too. Stephie kept telling me two years was enough time to move on and get over you. I’m glad I didn’t.” She flinched. “Not that I think this is permanent or something. I know what this is. I don’t expect anything.”
“Keira, youshouldexpect more than I can give you. You deserve someone who’ll give you everything.”
“But I wantyou. So I’ll take what I can get, and I’ll keep enjoying every second of it. And I do meansecondsbecause that’s how long you lasted.”
“Hey, now!” With a growl, I flipped us so I was above her, still careful of her healing injuries. “Years, Keira. Nothing but my hand for years. I was pent up.”
“It wasn’t just that I’m a natural at blow jobs?”
“Your mouth had a lot to do with it.” I kissed her, sucking on her tongue when she offered it to me. “I blame all of you though. You’re an extremely sexy woman. In my fantasies, you’ve made me come at least a thousand times. The reality is even better.”
My cock was firming up against her thigh, eager for more attention. She meant more to me than I could ever tell her, but at least I could give her pleasure and show her how irresistible she was.
She shuddered, eyes dreamy. We kissed some more, and I rubbed my swelling cock on her thigh.
But then Keira pushed against my chest. “Wait.”
I lifted up onto my elbow. “You okay?”
She sat up against the pillows, and I shifted so I was sitting beside her. My erection rested against my stomach.
“I need you to be honest with me. Is this a one-night-only thing? We wake up tomorrow, and you have a million excusesfor why we can’t do this again? Some line aboutprotecting my heartor that Ideserve better.”
I took her hand and kissed it. “What doyouwant?”
“For this to not be over yet. Not when we’ve just started. There’s a lot more I want to do with you.” Her fingers brushed down my chest. Then all the way to the swollen head of my cock, where she dragged a fingertip over the slit.Fuck. I tipped my head back and groaned. She was playing dirty in every sense of the word.
“But if this ends when the sun comes up,” she went on, “I guess we could stay up all night for a sex marathon. If you can get it up that many times.”
Laughing, I pulled her into another deep kiss. “I’m happy to prove my mettle. It’s hardly a challenge with you around. I plan to take you in every possible way.”
Now that we’d crossed this line, I couldn’t go back.
I playfully nipped her lips with my teeth, and she sighed against my mouth. “But we don’t have to rush,” I said. “If we stay up all night, I want to talk too. Laugh with you. See you smiling and feel you cozy and happy against me. And I’d like to do that tomorrow and the next day too. However long we can. How does that sound?”
