She tastes her lips, eyes never straying from me and replies, “I don’t know. But it was the same for me.”

“We missed a lot of years together.”

“We did but we made it. Somehow, God brought us back together again. That says something, don’t you think?”

“It does,” I agree, taking her in a brutal kiss, one I hope she remembers until she takes her last breath. After that, talk is forgotten. Our words are swallowed up by the passion circling around us.

Her hands slip around my neck, holding on tight as we kiss the way I’ve been wanting to kiss her. I bend her over my arm, my mouth moving over hers slow and tenderly. She tastes of the cinnamon gum she popped in her mouth after supper with a hint of beer. It’s delicious. Of course, I’m pretty sure she’d taste just as good if she had been eating raw onions and garlic.

After righting us, I do exactly what I was wanting to earlier. Lift her up, help her in wrapping her legs around me, bend over with her still in my arms and flip the switch off the fire, and slide open the patio door, walking us into the house and to the couch.

I spin around, sitting down first with her straddling my lap.

She laughs, her smile bigger than I’ve ever seen it. “I’ve never been carried before.”

“You liked that?”

“It was hot,” she confirms, nodding.

“Noted.” I give her hips a squeeze and another quick kiss. “Hadley, I don’t have expectations for tonight. I didn’t invite you here instead of going out because I was hoping for anything other than time alone with you and to give you a night where you could relax a bit. I’m not going to rush this because if I’m not completely off here, I think what we have has the chance to go the distance.”

Her eyes go soft and she whispers, “Cash.”

“I know it’s soon. I know we just started our first official date a few hours ago but it feels like we’ve been skirting around this since you walked through the back door of the diner and you looked into my eyes. I think we can both agree that the night we spent together in New York City was unforgettable and we’re both hoping to repeat that, but I don’t want to rush us through the steps.”

“I agree, but I don’t. You said you don’t want to rush things, but I’ve been waiting for this foryears.” She grinds against me to emphasize her point.

“Years…”

“Years.”

I lift my hips just barely, pressing up against her in response.

Hadley moans, her grip on my neck tightening as her mouth crushes against mine.

“Five years?” she asks when I trail my lips down her neck.

I nod.

“Six.”

“Huh?” I ask, sucking on the skin beneath her ear. She shivers.

“You remembered.”

“Your sweet spot? Impossible to forget.”

“Six for me,” she explains. “That’s how long it’s been. Six years.”

“So it’s gonna go fast. For both of us.”

“Well, it’s not like I haven’t… you know.”

“Pleasured yourself?” I guess.

“Right,” she moans, dropping her head back. “Oh hell, don’t stop doing that.”

I continue kissing down her neck, moving the thin material of her shirt aside so her shoulder is exposed. “Tell me more about this time you’ve spent pleasuring yourself. Were toys involved?”
