Colton lets out a massive breath of air as he pounces on me. “Thank fuck,” he says as he claps me on the back. Then he asks quietly, “So what’s Savannah’s story?”
“Not mine to tell,” I say to him. “But maybe she’ll share it with you sometime. She and I are more similar than we seem on the outside. She’s complicated and challenging, and I love that about her.”
“Huh.” He looks at her and then back to me. “I think that’s very interesting. Makes me like her even more.”

I convince Savannah, plus her sisters and their partners, to come over to my house. The place is so packed I don’t even know how we’ll all fit, let alone sleep. But Savannah helps me set up sleeping bags across the living room, and we pull out the couch and set up my spare air mattress. I tell Sky that she and Colton can sleep in the guest room, but nobody’s going to bed yet. We’re all getting to know each other, and I can’t believe I was worried. Savannah’s family and mine fit—and I want to tell her how happy that makes me.
But then Sky and Nadine start gushing about babies. Within minutes, all the women are giggling and chatting about becoming mothers. Every woman except for one.
Savannah stands off to the side, and the expression on her face is a mixture of pain and misery.
I coax her upstairs under the pretense of looking for more blankets, and then I shut my door as soon as we’re alone in my room.
“Savannah.” I lean next to her by the door. “It’s okay if you don’t want kids, you know.”
She locks eyes with me. “I don’t know exactly what I want. And that feels weird. I’m definitely not ready now. But it’s not about being ready or not ready—I just want that feeling of yes or no to hit me. Because then I won’t feel conflicted.”
“I get it. That makes sense.”
“Are we exclusive?” she asks me.
I kiss her. “Of course we are. You’re mine. And I’m yours.”
“I’ve never had a boyfriend before,” she says. “I wasn’t expecting you to call me that earlier.”
“My girlfriend?” I say as I kiss her again. “Yeah, I kind of figured that out when you got a deer in the headlights look after I introduced you to my cousins.”
She giggles and teasingly runs her hand over the growing hardness underneath my sweatpants. I put my mouth over hers and kiss the hell out of her.
“I’ve been wanting to get you alone all night,” I say against her soft, sexy lips.
She grips my sweatshirt with both hands. “Me too. Do you think they’ll notice that we’re gone?”
I’m pretty sure my cousins are going to notice everything tonight. “Probably not,” I say out loud.
She laughs. “Right. You’re like the baby of the family that everyone just wants to make sure is okay, aren’t you?”
I chuckle. “Maybe a little.”
“Me too.” She smiles at me widely. “I never knew you and I had so much in common, Cameron Wild.”
“Come here.” I reach for the zipper on her jeans. “Before we go back downstairs into that madhouse, I want to taste you.” I cup her between her legs. “Right here, Savannah.”
She lets out a breathy moan, and I slide her jeans down her thighs before kneeling before her and pressing my mouth to her hot center.
I raise my gaze to her face and watch her bite back on a gasp as she tangles her fingers in my hair and holds on tight.
“Pull my hair,” I mutter into her blazing skin as I drag her panties over her hips and help her step out of them. “I love when you pull my hair. Hold me against you as hard as you need to, sweetheart. I want to feel you completely let go.”
She’s already losing control just from my words whispered hotly against her most sensitive spot. I grip her ass and bring her even more closely against my mouth.
And then I devour her. I lick, and suck, and kiss Savannah like I’ll never have her again, like I’ll die if I don’t get to taste every square inch of her. And she gives herself over to me completely. For the first time since I’ve met her, she doesn’t freeze in shame or embarrassment. She just enjoys herself.
When her orgasm hits her, it barrels through her body like a charged atom. She just barely manages to bite down on her scream, but she chants my name over and over as she climaxes.
And I can’t hold off any longer on telling her how I feel.
