Her long lashes lower and she feels her wrist. “130.”

Worry twists my insides. “Does it hurt? Are you in pain?”

“No,” she says. “It feels fluttery. Like a butterfly. When it beats faster ...it feels like pressure.” She laughs, a melodic little chime that sets my soul on fire. “Here. I’ll show you.”

Lifting on tiptoes, she kisses me, slipping her tongue into my mouth. Her nails dig into my shoulder, and a tortured groan emerges from my throat.

Beneath my fingertips, her pulse speeds up.

With a growl, I jerk back from her. “Ruby,” I warn, not wanting to hurt her.

A smile tugs at her mouth. She steps into me, slipping a slender leg between mine. “This is how you start a heart,” she says, her gorgeous blue eyes darkening with lust. “You just kiss me, Cowboy.”

Fuck it.

I do.

My lips crash against hers. Ruby melts into me, the fast pulse of her breath syncing with her heartbeats. Each one I feel. Treasure. I hook my hands under her legs and lift her off the floor. She kisses me deeper, wrapping her legs around my waist. My hold on her tightens as I carry her into the living room.

“Slow,” she whispers breathlessly.

“Slow,” I mouth gruffly against her lips.

Her slender arms lift to the ceiling so I can strip her bare. I toss her dress, her panties, onto the floor while I maneuver us to the couch.

A desperate, animalistic need overtakes me. To hold her. To fuck her. To feel her heartbeat crash against mine and know she’s here.

I unzip my jeans and sit down, Ruby straddling me. When she sinks onto my thick length, I groan, bathing my cock in her sweet heat. She’s slick and tight and I growl my approval. I guide her hips up and down, burying myself so goddamn deep that we both cry out.

“Don’t know how I fucking survived without you, Ruby,” I rasp into her wild hair, tangled with flowers. “Don’t know. Don’t wanna know.”

The air around us is electric, neon in a way only Ruby can make me feel. Alive and buzzing. It’s all for her. What my girl needs to feel good. My thrusts are slow and controlled, dismantling all my dark parts so there’s only the man she loves. The man she deserves.

Too much, too much, Ruby’s too much.

She will never be enough.

“Charlie ...” Ruby gasps as her back arches. Her long lashes fan against her smooth skin. Her mouth parts in a perfect O.

I bury my face in her neck. “I fucking love you.”

She whimpers, kissing my jawline. The heat from her mouth warms my cheek. Her slender arms wind around my neck. “I love you, Cowboy.”

My chest heaves faster as I match the rhythm of her hips, her heart. Slow, fast. Slow, fast. Slow, fast until she’s crying my name, her small form trembling in my arms, shaking from her release.

My ragged moan fills the house as my orgasm hits me like a sledgehammer. I come inside of her, pressing soft kisses to her throat, her cheek, her lips.

When our bodies stop quaking, I pull her back onto the couch, keeping her in my arms. I grab a blanket and drape it over her body.

Outside, thunder cracks across the sky.

“Try for the sunrise?” I skim my knuckles against her flushed cheek.

She laughs, rolls her eyes. “We’ll never make it, Cowboy. Let’s face it.”

I chuckle.

Sighing, Ruby burrows against me, resting her head on my chest.
