She drew in a sharp breath.

“I’ve been thinking of this all night.” I pulled her sweatpants and lace panties down and threw them to the side. She lifted her upper body and pulled the shirt over her head.

The sight of Marley naked in my bed was everything. Her strawberry-blonde hair curled around her shoulders, her nipples were hard nubs, and her cheeks were flushed. I hadn’t even touched her, and her breathing was ragged.

I settled between her legs, my shoulders pushing her legs wide. “You want my mouth.”

She lifted her hips, inviting me to take a lick. “Yes, please.”

“So polite. So pretty, waiting for my touch.”

She curled her fingers into my hair and tugged. “Heath.”

I guessed she wasn’t as patient as I thought. I separated her folds with my fingers and licked her from entrance to clit, where I circled the nub until it was swollen. Her fingers in my hair tightened, and the muscles in her thighs trembled.

When I used a finger to enter her, she moaned.

I loved watching her come undone. The thing that made it sweeter was that she wasn’t like this with other people. I had an extra responsibility to take care of her, to protect her heart.

When she arched into my mouth, her body spasming around me, I quickly moved up her body and entered her in one swift motion. Her eyes were glazed over, her skin pink.

I dropped a kiss on her shoulder. “Does this feel good?”

She moved underneath me. “So good.”

I loved being with her like this, whether we were talking, cuddling, or driving each other wild. There was nothing better.

I wouldn’t be able to walk away from her this time. Not when she’d gotten under my skin so easily. It was like she’d planted seeds in my heart when we were teens, and they’d been lying dormant for years. Now that we’d reconnected, everything inside me was growing and expanding.

I kept my gaze locked on hers, unwilling to look away or think about anything other than the connection we had.

As the tension built, I leaned down to fuse my lips to hers. I wanted all her moans and whimpers. I increased my pace, sensing that she was close. When she stiffened, then trembled underneath me, I let go.

The orgasm tore through me so quickly it took my breath away. I buried my face in her shoulder, almost disbelieving the intensity of our coming together. I rolled to the side to save her from the weight of my body.

Marley looked slightly embarrassed. “I forgot that I wanted to brush my teeth before we kissed.”

I kissed her softly. “I forget about everything when I’m with you.”

“Just what a girl wants to hear,” Marley said softly, with nothing but genuine appreciation in her voice.

“I want to give you everything you’ve ever wanted and needed.” The only problem was she was a girl who could buy whatever she wanted. Except for love and family.

She snuggled into my arms. “You already have.”

Were her expectations that low, that one night with me was all she wanted? I wanted to give her so much more. More days and nights like the past few ones. My family. This farm. Joy and anticipation. Love. The confidence to know that she was loved unconditionally. That someone had her back. That she belonged.

Did she even know what she was missing? That she could have it all if she just reached out and asked for it?

My heart twisted and squeezed inside my chest. It was too soon to broach the subject with her. But I knew that I wouldn’t be able to walk away from her a second time.

I rolled onto my back and threw an arm over my eyes. I wasn’t sure what I’d say to Aiden. If he got out of the military and moved here, would he be upset? Would it ruin our friendship? I had no way of knowing how he’d react.

The fear of the unknown had kept me away from Marley over the years. But it wouldn’t anymore.
