“This needs to come off.”
He shakes his head. “You first. I’ve been dying to see all of you.”
And that’s when the nerves kick in. “I’m not…” I stutter. “I’m not the same.”
“You’re better.”
“No, Cash. I’ve had a baby and love to eat now that I don’t have my mother around me constantly trying to tell me what I can and cannot eat. I…”
He steps close, threading his fingers through my hair and cupping my cheeks. “You’re better. You’re beautiful, Hadley. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life. Whatever changes have occurred to your body, I’ll love them as much as I loved having your body sixteen years ago. You have nothing to be nervous about. Not with me. Here you’re safe and cherished for exactly who you are.”
“Cash…”
“You with me?” His question came out soft, but it was a demand. He needs to know that not just my body, but my heart and mind are right here with him. That I believe he’ll want what he sees not just because I’m attractive to him, but because he wants all of me.
I nod. “I’m with you,” I whisper. “I’m so with you.”
“Thank fuck,” he growls, slamming his lips down onto mine in a kiss I’ll never forget.Marked. That’s how I feel. It’s a kiss of new beginnings. The start of something new. He wants me.Me.Not the girl with all the money or the girl who said ‘I do’ so her husband could live a double life. The realization is heady. I’ve never been wanted like this before. Even before Trotter, the boys I dated never looked at me the way Cash does. I never felt this way. Only one other time in my life. Sixteen years ago in a hotel room with snow falling down outside, preventing the outside world from seeping into our haven.
With gentle fingers, he pulls my shirt up and over my head, dropping it on the floor next to us before stepping back and taking in his fill.
“I was right,” he rasps. “Even better. My memory didn’t serve justice.”
My hands tremble as I unbutton my shorts, letting them pool at my feet before stepping out of them and reaching behind my back to unfasten my bra. Our eyes are connected the entire time. My bra joins my shirt and shorts on the plush carpet beneath our feet.
“Fuck,” he grumbles, scrubbing a hand down his face. “I’m not going to last, Hadley. You’re more stunning than I remembered. You’re… everything.”
“We have all night, Cash,” I reply in a quiet voice. “Your turn. I’ve waited long enough to get a look at you again.”
He reaches behind his neck and tugs his shirt off, quickly undoes his shorts, and drops them to the floor.
“No boxers?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.
He smirks and grips himself with his hand, shaking his head. “No.”
I’m not sure if it’s for my benefit or if he never wears them, but I’m enjoying every inch. My eyes travel slowly up and down the length of his gorgeous body.
“You’re gorgeous,” I tell him.
“Right back at you. But you’re too far away.”
I’m not. I’m a foot away, but I understand what he means.
“Then get over here.”
“Demanding little thing, aren’t you?” His mouth curves up in a promising smirk. “I seem to remember you bending to my will in New York.”
My breath catches, recalling how dominant he was in bed. I hadn’t expected it then.
“Maybe I need a refresher.”
“My pleasure.” The sound he makes is low, deep in his throat, when he lifts me in his strong arms, wrapping my legs around his hips once again, spinning us so I’m pressed against the coolness of the wall. My insides buzz, ready for whatever he’s planning.
With swiftness, he has my arms pinned above my head and my nipples harden at the feel of him between my legs. He reaches between us, flicking me over the thin material of my panties and I squirm against him, loving the feel of how I’m affecting him.
“Kiss me before I lose my mind,” I demand.
He obeys, slamming his mouth against mine in a hot and fast kiss. His tongue thrusts into my mouth, demanding mine to play along. Every inch of him is strong. Manly. He shoves his hand down the backside of my panties, cupping my ass and squeezing firmly. My hips shift, giving him more access.
