“Mmmm…”
“I need you to do something for me.”
“Anything,” he said, and that’s when Caroline knew exactly what she wanted. Pressing closer, she could feel him, feel his hard body, feel his warmth and even though she was scared out of her mind, Caroline decided to leap before she looked.
“Take me to bed.”
Now it was Josh’s turn to freeze. His turn to be nervous. “R-really?” he stammered. “Bed?”
“Yes.”

Josh’s fingers were threaded through Caroline’s hair and her words still thrummed in his head.Bed.She wanted to go to bed with him. There were two things warring inside him—first, she was his sister-in-law’s sister and he’d known Caroline since she was a little girl. On the other hand, he had a warm, willing woman who wanted him. A beautiful woman. He liked her. He liked kissing her and he had no doubt that he’d like having sex with her.
“You’re sure. Not too drunk?”
“I’m a little drunk, but I know what I want.” Josh shuddered when she kissed the hollow at the base of his throat. She was not at all what he expected. The quiet little nerd had a hot and steamy side and he felt the effects deeply. But his silence must have gone on longer than he thought because her eyes, wicked a few seconds ago, showed unsureness. Caroline dropped her head.
“You don’t want me,” she whispered.
“What? No, no.” Damn. He never hesitated about anything. Why now? “I just want to make sure you’re okay with this.”
She nodded, still not looking up. That was it. Josh put his fingers under her chin and tipped her face toward his. He needed to see her eyes when she answered. “Caroline? Yes? Because I’m about to go off here, and I need to know if I’m going to get hot and sweaty with you, or take a cold shower by myself.”
“Hot and sweaty,” she said breathily. All Josh could do was thank God she didn’t change her mind, because he was more worked up about Caroline than he had been about any woman in a long time. He had no idea what this all meant. If he thought about it, it might just scare the shit out of him, because for Josh, sex was always just sex.
But as he went for her again, kissing her with more urgency and fear than he could remember, every reason why they shouldn’t do this went through his head.
He and Caroline were friends. Hell, they were family. They had a connection. He’d have to see her again.
And again.
And again.
But even with a thousand warning bells going off, he didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.
Her kisses were perfect, sweet and worth every risk. Wrapping his arms around her, Josh lifted her into his arms and marveled at how light she was, but there was still a softness to her body, a curviness that he loved. Her hair fell over her shoulders and brushed against his arm— one more thing that sent his senses reeling.
“I can walk,” she said.
“I know, but I’m going to take care of you..”
Caroline giggled against his mouth and Josh couldn’t think of anything but being inside her, and as he thought about how that would feel, it also dawned on him that Caroline probably didn’t have a lot of experience. Based on the way she reacted to the guy who’d been hitting on her, he was sure of it.
Walking into his bedroom, he felt her snuggle closer, and Josh had to remind himself to slow things down.
As she was swallowed by the deep mattress and soft bedding, Josh didn’t waste any time taking off his shirt and lying down next to her. She turned toward him, reaching out and examining his bare chest. Caroline turned her eyes to meet his and the second her little pink tongue darted out and she licked her lips, Josh almost lost control.
He turned her on her back and braced himself above her. “You have too many clothes on.”
Her gaze held his and she nodded, trusting him.
Carefully, Josh started undressing Caroline. She looked surprised and nervous, but it didn’t stop him as he pulled the sweater over her head, eased off her skirt and tights and left her lying on his bed in a plain white bra and panties.
The object of his lust was wearing granny panties.
No bombshell in his bed tonight, but that was fine with him. The way Caroline was looking up at him made Josh wonder why he bothered with the high-maintenance socialites he usually dated. By this point, the little makeup Caroline wore was gone and her skin was soft, smooth, and possessed a glow that radiated from the inside out. It was natural, pure, and it totally consumed him.
