Hallie’s skin turned a beautiful shade of rose as she neared her climax. Her legs tightened around him as her body prepared to fall over the edge, and then she shattered, her little muscles gripping his cock in a vice that shattered his balls into submission. “Mine,” he growled, then thrust into her one last time before releasing deep into her core. It was the longest fucking orgasm of his life, and by the time it was over, all he could do was collapse beside her, barely catching himself on his arms so he didn’t crush her.
Sweat beading on his chest and forehead, he looked at her in a daze of ecstasy, and was relieved to see her eyes aglow and her lips parted in a lazy grin. “That was amazing,” she said. “Is it always like that for you?”
Hell no, he wanted to say. But instead, he pulled her against him, wrapping her up in his arms as his come dribbled out of her onto both their legs. “No, Hales. It’s not usually like this for me. Hell, for anyone. This was….” Fuck he didn’t have words for it at the moment.
“Amazing,” she said again with a sweet smile.
“Yeah.” He confirmed, glad she had provided the perfect word. He laid with her in his arms for several moments, unable to move even if he wanted to. That hadn’t just been the best sex of his life, it had been the best everything. “Are you sure you’re okay?” Caden asked, worried he may have hurt her. He wasn’t huge, but he was pretty big and she had been so tight. Damn, just thinking about it made him want to get up and do it all over again.
When Hallie didn’t answer, Caden glanced down and saw her eyes were closed, her breathing rhythmic and deep. He smiled. She’d fallen asleep in his arms, sated and exhausted just like he was, and he felt like the luckiest guy in the world.
This had been the best night of his life by far. Made better only when Hallie woke him a few hours later to do it all over again.
Chapter 27
The next several weeks flew by in a blissful blur. Hallie was thrilled The Mystic Cow was doing much better and she loved getting to hang out with Orly and Skyla when Caden worked late or had to go out of town on a case. She also mended her friendship with Meg, and she and Alicia had a fun girl’s night binging the rest of Bridgerton while eating popcorn and enjoying a bottle of wine.
Hallie couldn’t remember the last time she’d been this happy and fulfilled. She couldn’t say it was all because of Caden, but she knew he accounted for a lot of it. His sweet and funny text messages always made her smile. He called her every day, even when he was out of town on a case. He came by the store with a new blended coffee drink whenever he could get away from the office. But it was the way he loved her and prioritized spending time with her, not letting anything in their lives come between them that made her fall more in love with him. He did his best not to make a big deal about her glimpses, but when she had a recurring glimpse keeping her awake last week, he packed a bag and stayed with her until it passed.
They both teased each other about moving in together, but she wasn’t quite ready to give up her independence yet, and she sensed Caden wasn’t either. That didn’t mean they didn’t spend most of their free time together.
One Saturday morning, Hallie got a text message from Caden asking if she could take the day off. He’d been out of town on a case and wasn’t supposed to return until next week, but ended up coming back late last night. Hallie didn’t even hesitate to call Katelyn, asking the other woman if she could work a full day. Katelyn was happy to stay and even admitted that she could use the extra money.
Smiling, Hallie bounced out of bed to shower and dress. An hour later, Caden was knocking on her door, a sexy grin on his face. She pulled him inside and they attacked each other with passionate kisses, hands going everywhere at once, unable to stop touching and feeling each other.
“I missed you,” he breathed between kisses.
“Me too,” she said on a soft moan as he peppered kisses down the side of her neck. “We should just stay in today.”
“Hmm,” he growled in approval, leading her to the bed. They quickly undressed and were tangled in the sheets before either one of them had another cognizant thought. It seemed like every time they got together, their attraction was explosive and chaotic, but she didn’t mind. She just wanted to feel him all over her, under her, and inside her. From the urgency and intensity of his movements, he undoubtedly felt the same way.
They fucked hard and fast, on the couch, on the bed, even on the kitchen counter, unable to stop or control themselves until they both climaxed multiple times, relieving some of the immediate need that had pent up over the last few days since they’d last seen each other. Lying breathless on the bed, his arm tossed over her torso, her leg draped over his legs, they gazed at each other with exhaustion and hunger.
“Ready for more?” He asked, teasing, tempting, threatening what was to come.
“So much more,” Hallie breathed. She moved to climb on top and take what she wanted from this man that was unequivocally hers.
They made love that time, going slow, with smooth and purposeful thrusts, milking their orgasms to the surface until they exploded with such delicious ecstasy it was a wonder either of them could still move.
When Hallie could feel her legs again, she said, “I’m starving.”
Caden raised an eyebrow and she burst out laughing, not missing a beat. “I mean I want food,” she explained unnecessarily.
He wrapped her up in his arms, pulling her in close. “Anything you want,” he said. “I will always give you.”
They spent the rest of the day in bed wearing minimal clothing, enjoying each other’s company, eating pizza, and having sex. Lots and lots of sex, as if they were somehow making up for all the time they’d lost when they were apart and during those weeks when Caden insisted on getting to know her before they made love for the first time.
On Sunday, Hallie was still completely spent from all the love making the day before. She debated calling Katelyn to see if the other woman wanted to work another full day when Katelyn called her first, asking to work the full day againbecause she was behind on her credit card payment after buying an expensive pair of shoes. Hallie quickly agreed, loving that she now had another day with Caden.
He was thrilled and she headed over to his house for an impromptu hike in the woods that bordered his creek. The hike proved to be short-lived because there weren’t many trails and it was a hot and muggy day. They ended up getting some ice blended coffees to cool down and threw a blanket on the ground by the creek for an impromptu picnic.
Caden had invested in a lawn mower and Garrett had helped him fix the sprinkler system, so while the house inside still needed work, the property outside looked amazing with freshly cut grass, gorgeous trees that provided plenty of shade, and the sparkling creek that attracted all sorts of birds and butterflies.
“So, you patched things up with Meg?” Caden asked.
“Yep.” She was sitting with her back to his front, and despite the heat, she loved the feel of being wrapped in his arms. “It was all just a silly misunderstanding. She wasn’t in a good place and I was feeling overly sensitive after what happened at my store. We’re all good now.”
Caden pressed a kiss to the back of her head. “Glad to hear it.”
