“And what did I show you, baby?”

She turns her face and kisses the palm of my hand that’s pressed against her cheek. All the blood in my body rushes through my ears when she rests her head in my hand and looks up at me like I’m her hero.

“That you’re never going to hurt me,” she whispers, the tears in her eyes making my heart trip in my chest.

“I’d die before that happened.”

“That you want to take care of me,” she continues in a quiet voice.

“Every fucking day of my life.”

Her hands press against my stomach, and I suck in a breath, so goddamn hungry for her touch I can’t think straight, her tear-filled eyes never leaving mine.

“And… and maybe you love me?” she speaks in the quietest of whispers.

“There’s nomaybeabout it, Sidney. I’ve been in love with you since the first time you called me ‘big guy’ and got snippy with me about having a cat in a bar.”

Sidney slides her hands up to my chest, resting her palms over my rapidly beating heart.

“Okay, then. I think I’m paying attention now.”

This woman is going to be the death of me. She’s so fucking sweet I can’t take it.

Dropping my head, I rest my forehead against hers.

“We should probably talk about the rest. Get it all out there.”

Even though all I want to do right now is get her naked in her dream home.

I know it took us so long to get to this moment because neither one of us opened our damn mouths, but the thought of talking about my past right now—the reason Sidney had her last one-night stand, the reason that brought me to this town and her—makes me physically ill. I don’t want to bring that into this house, where she spent her childhood knocking on the front door, wishing she had a key. She has it now. The key to this house and the key to my heart, as fucking cheesy as that sounds. I don’t want to tarnish this moment with something that feels so insignificant now that it’s laughable I was so screwed up over it. Not right now, when I feel like I could walk on water. Not when Sidney is finally paying attention and finally looks like she’d rather run right to me than in the opposite direction.

“We probably should.” Sidney sighs, pulling her head back just enough to give me her eyes. “You know, get started on that whole communication thing, but…”

My heart is beating so hard right now I wonder if she can hear it. I’m honestly surprised it’s not rattling the walls and chipping off some of the new paint.

“But?”

Sidney shrugs, biting her bottom lip as she looks up at me. Then she slides her arms down my chest and around my waist, tugging me up against her body. All of her soft curves molded to the front of me make it impossible to think straight. We’re supposed to be talking.

I’m supposed to be saying words.

Words? What are words?

My dick is so hard right now there’s going to be an imprint of my fucking zipper on it.

“I’m kind of on information overload at the moment. I don’t want to think anymore tonight. I mean, you bought me a freaking house, Ford!” She pauses to laugh softly and shakes her head at me, andChristI’ve never loved her more. “I just want to stay feeling happy like this and be here in this moment with you… like this. I just want…”

She pauses. Every breath she takes pushes her tits harder against my chest until the need to rip this dress off her and put my mouth on them makes my brain fizzle out. I know what she wants. I can see it in her eyes and the way she keeps licking her lips as she looks at me. The way her thighs keep rubbing together, bumping against my own. My breath is practically panting out of me, wanting to slide my hands up under her skirt so badly I almost forget I’m supposed to be making her finish that sentence.

“Tell me what you want, baby.” I hold her face in both my hands, rubbing my thumbs back and forth against her cheeks. “Anything in the world, it’s yours.”

Please say me, please say me….

She grips tightly to the back of my shirt, our bodies pressed so close together she can probably feel the pulsing of my cock jammed into her stomach.

“Right now, I just want your hands on me.”

Her breathy voice makes the swelling between my legs increase, until I just want to jerk my hips against her to find relief.
