“Did you really mean it?”

“Mean what?” I ask, knowing I’ve never told Jen anything but the truth so far.

“About…you know…loving me,” she asks, looking almost embarrassed to ask.

I sit up, put my arm around her and pull her close. “I do love you, Jen. I fell in love with you the second I saw you in my kitchen yesterday,” I admit. Making both of us blush for some reason.

As if everything we’ve done since isn’t way more intense than a first glance after all those years.

But we both know that’s when the fuse was lit.

And both of us sink back onto the bed, totally spent.

The fallout we wanted from all this washing over us like a warm wave we could both ride on forever.

But it isn’t long before the thought of the other kind of fallout starts to seep into her mind.

Mine too, although I try to push it aside as long as I can, determined to keep today special for Jen’s sake.

“And I love you too, Kane,” she eventually murmurs, sighing and taking a breath to say something else, but I tell her not to.

“Don’t even think about it,” I caution her. “Let’s have the rest of today just about us. About you. How about that?” I ask.

Relieved when she nods her head and smiles.

Snuggling up next to me as we talk about anything and everything. Her mom or my daughter not included.

We somehow get onto the topic of baby names, which I think is something that would interest her, but after a long silence, it’s clear she’s done what any good virgin girl does once she’s been claimed.

She falls asleep in my arms. Right where she belongs from now on.

CHAPTERFIFTEEN

Jen

If there were points for waking up in Kane’s bed twice in one day, feeling the way I do after coming both times?

I’d be the champion.

Even if it’s only the champ of it in my mind.

But for me, not being a virgin girl anymore is kind of a big deal.

And I’m pretty proud of myself if I do say so.

It’s still light out, but barely. I bolt upright in disbelief that Kane let me sleep so long.

I can hear his deep voice echoing through the house behind the bedroom door he’s closed halfway.

His phone voice, I tell myself. Scrambling to get up and feel my legs almost go out from under me.

The smile on my face and the pleasant ache between my legs tells me it was certainly worth it.

If I never walk properly again, I couldn’t care less. As long as Kane keeps giving it to me like that, I’d gladly spend my whole life on my back.

Bending down and picking up the T-shirt, I think must be mine. I know once I slip it over my head and smell his woodsy, manly cologne that it’s Kane’s. Pulling it all the way over me, giggling a little when I realize it fits and feels way better than any oversized tee I own.

I make it to the door and freeze on the spot. The sound of my mom’s voice on speaker mixing with Kane’s sends a jolt of panic through me.
