It’s funny how life is full of so many moments that you think are one thing but are actually something else.
One more night.The idea of it was bullshit.
This wasn’t closure; I had been fooling myself. This was my heart finally accepting the truth.
I’m in love with her.
I had always loved her.
I’d never stopped.

Charlotte
Iawoke, afraid he would be gone.
But he wasn’t.
The hard press of his body stretched out behind me while his strong arm draped across my waist, holding me close.
Content, I sighed as tears filled my eyes.
One more night.
It was already morning, the dim glow of the sun peeked through the slats of my blinds, and I wished I could go back to sleep so he couldn’t leave me. I didn’t want our night to end.
I had always considered myself a tough girl. I mean, I had five older brothers and I rarely cried, but I was at full emotional capacity right now.
I was about to lose my shit and cry all over Cade. And he was sweet, a good guy, the best of the best. So, he’d hold me for sure, give me all the comfort I required and more, but then he’d leave, and I’d be alone again.
I was sick and tired of being alone.
How much more was I supposed to take?
My stalker from hell?
The deadline of doom?
And now the dawning realization that I was head-over-heels, crazy in love with my ex-husband?
Andhe was lying behind me, poking my behind with his huge epic bonerandwe’d just spent our so-called, mother freaking last night togetherandit was pure magical heaven?
I could not handle any more of this stupid fricking nonsense life kept handing me. Not one bit.
My entire body ached from holding back the words I didn’t dare say to him. Not yet, anyway. Not until I maybe finished writing my book and got my head clear of the dumbass ideas I had believed about my life over all these years away from him.
I should have come back to Sweetbriar a long time ago. I should have fought for him.
“Baby?” His arm tightened around my waist while the deep throaty groan of his sleepy morning voice shot straight to the good spot between my legs.
I couldn’t help but wiggle my booty against him in response before I sat up. I turned to say good morning but ended up staring at him like a weirdo instead.
It was as though he had come straight from the pages of one of the dirty parts in my books. The sun through my window highlighted the ripple of his abs, his big arm was bent behind his head with the muscles bunched just so, and the sheet had come to rest low around his hips and pulled tight enough to outline his gorgeous, hard cock that had been poking me in the bottom only moments before.
Why in the hell did I sit up?
Damn, he was fine. He’d always been fine, but I’d forgotten how irresistibly sexy early morning Cade was. Tousled-up hair, half-mast eyes, and don’t even get me started on that broad, muscled chest with the perfect amount of dark hair dusted across. I bit my lip and he smiled at me.
