“Every sense I have is heightened right now. I don’t want to be jolted out of the moment. I want to be in the moment. With you. I know how beautiful you are; I can see it.” He tightened his grip on her ass. “I can feel it. Why don’t you let us both enjoy it?”

“I’m sorry.” She reached up and planted a kiss on his lips. “I guess I just still feel like you’re too good to be true. I suppose I’m trying to scare you away before you come to your senses and run away.”

“I’m not going anywhere. I’m right where I want to be—here, with you.” He smiled. “So, I’d thank you if you could stop criticizing this amazing body that I’m about to worship.”

“Worship?” she breathed.

He nodded and led her to the bed. “Yeah. Lie back, and you’ll see what I mean.”

She lay down on the bed, and he lay down beside her. “Okay, before we get started, can you promise me no wisecracks? No jokes about me losing a finger, or anything else, and no digs at yourself or your body?”

“If you insist.”

He chuckled. “I insist.” He covered her mouth with his, and she relaxed and gave herself up to him. His hands seemed to be everywhere, trailing down over her stomach—which she was not going to think about as being fat right now. He seemed to like it, and that was all that mattered. As his fingers found their way between her legs, she bit her lip to stop herself from making any jokes, and when he lowered his head and his mouth closed around her nipple, she let her head fall back and moaned softly. She had no quips or self-criticisms left. She was too lost in the pleasure coursing through her veins.

He took her by surprise when he rolled onto his back and pulled her with him. She stared down at him as his hands came up to close around her breasts. “You’re putting me in charge?”

“Yep.” He slid his hands down to her hips and lifted her slightly.

She looked down and closed her hand around him. He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath as she guided him toward her. They both gasped as she lowered herself onto him, and his hips began to rock.

“Cam,” she breathed. “You feel so good.”

He nodded and dug his fingers into her ass as he picked up the pace. She was bouncing on top of him, moving with him. “Sit up.”

She stared at him for a moment. Then shifted her weight back and sat up. That felt so good. She rode him harder as he brought his hand up to touch her as they moved. She rocked her hips faster and faster, feeling the tension build inside her. Her breasts were bouncing, and his eyes glazed with lust as he watched them. She brought her hands up and cupped them and could feel him grow even harder. So, he liked that, did he? She smiled and began to squeeze her nipples. He definitely liked that. He thrust deeper and harder. She liked it, too. Electric currents went zapping through her, from her fingers right the way to his, which were tormenting her clit and taking her to the edge of …

“Piper!” He gasped as he found his release and it triggered hers. She rode him hard, moving frantically together as their orgasm took them soaring away. When she finally slumped down on his chest, he closed his arms around her and tangled a hand in her hair.

She nuzzled her face into his neck. “Wow,” she breathed.

“You can say that again.”

She did. “Wow.”

He chuckled. “I think we might have found something.”

“What’s that?”

“Where you belong.”

She shook her head. She must have imagined that. No way had he just said what she thought he had. She didn’t reply. She didn’t know what she could say, so she just waited. But he didn’t speak again. See, she must have imagined it!

Chapter Thirteen

Cameron looked out the window as Piper drove them to the house where they were meeting the realtor. This place was beautiful, he had to give it that. It had puzzled him when his brother had moved here. He’d always thought of Cole as a big city, glitzy kind of guy. So, for him to buy a house and settle down in a sleepy, small town had seemed totally out of character. And maybe it was. But Cameron could see that there was something about this place that built character. It may be sleepy and small, but it made you stop and think. There was no denying the natural beauty. You had to stop and admire it, and whenever you did that, you had to think about what was really important in life.

Piper looked over at him. “Have you zoned out on me?”

“No, I’m just thinking about all the beauty there is here.”

She looked embarrassed and turned her attention back to the road. He smiled. He didn’t know why she had such a hang-up about being called beautiful. He hadn’t actually been talking about her—this time, but whenever he complimented her in any way, she always made a joke or dodged it somehow. “Why don’t you believe you’re beautiful?”

She laughed. “Because I’m not. I don’t think I’m ugly, but I know my reality. I’m a bit overweight, and I’m okay looking, but I’m no beauty.”

“You are to me.”

She smiled. For the first time, she looked pleased when he tried to say something nice. “Thank you.”
