“Take me for your own, Brett,” I begged, the words falling easily from my mouth. We had so much history and a past that would draw a barrier between most people, but instead of letting it separate us, we used it to draw together.

It was our bridge to each other, no matter how rocky and dangerous it had seemed at first.

His touch was fire on my thighs and he licked me, making me shake under him. When I wrapped my hand in his hair and forced his head closer to me, I moaned, the sound flowing out from deep in my core. Brett was going to take me close to heaven, but I needed to take him there with me.

“I love you, Brett.” The words became a chant as he slid up between my legs. I watched, my eyes wide, as he slipped his condom on. He centered himself between my legs and I pulled his shoulders, wanting him as close as possible to me. We’d been so close for so long when we were little, but I’d never once imagined that we would come together like this.

Especially not when I thought that he’d hated me so badly.

Gasping as he entered me, I dug my fingernails into his skin. He moaned, the sound rolling out of him as he filled me. Already I could feel him filling and stretching me, and I rocked under him until he leaned down and sucked my nipple.

It hardened in his mouth and he flicked his tongue over it, making me cry out.

“Oh, God, Brett, you feel amazing! Don’t stop!” My skin was slick with sweat and he slid over me, gently coaxing me to the edge with him.

It felt like fire was licking through my veins. I felt my muscles tighten on him, felt the way he rocked into me, long strokes that pushed me higher and higher, making it so that I couldn’t get a deep breath.

“You’re perfection,” he whispered, his lips right by my ear. I shivered at the sensation of his warm breath on my skin, then grabbed him, digging my nails into his back to hold him in place.

“I could be in you forever, Rose,” he whispered, finally looking up at my face. We locked eyes and I found myself falling into them, completely consumed by the dark look that he gave me. “You need to come with me, baby,” he said, dropping his hand down between my legs.

My eyes rolled back and I clamped them shut as he began to roll my clit between his fingers, gently putting more and more pressure on me as I took breaths that were more and more shallow.

“Brett—” I began to beg, but he hushed me with a kiss, finally taking me with him.

I felt his muscles tighten as he thrust deeper into me and I screamed out, digging my nails deeper into his back and raking them down, leaving angry red marks on his skin. They welted almost immediately, and I ran my hands over them, feeling the raised welts as I crashed around him.

My panting was shallow and uneven when I finally opened my eyes again. Brett was still between my legs, his head dipped down, his forehead resting on my chest. We could barely breathe, both of us fighting to pull it together, but all of my nerves were on fire.

Finally, he slipped from me and stretched out next to me, lazily tracing a finger on my stomach. My abs tensed at his touch, but I couldn’t take my eyes from him.

“You are just as incredible as I thought you would be.” He dropped a kiss on my collarbone and I shivered under the touch.

“Had I known,” I answered, “I think that I wouldn’t have been able to wait that long.” Biting my lip, I paused, suddenly thinking about the rest of our day. I didn’t want to think about what the rest of the day would bring, but it was hard not to when there was a huge shadow looming over our happiness: Taylor Prep.

He sighed and pulled me to him, curling his body around mind as I snuggled back. “You want to take a shower before we get out of here? I think that my mom was serious about us not staying the entire weekend.”

I nodded, even though the thought of leaving this little guest cottage was enough to break my heart. I wanted to stay in bed all weekend with Brett, and as soon as we got back to Taylor Prep then we wouldn’t be able to steal time apart like this again.

“Let’s do it, then. I’ll admit—part of me knows that we need to get out of here so that my mom doesn’t freak, but the other part of me is just excited to get to shower with you.”

Laughing, I threw a pillow at him, but I let him pull me out of bed. “Okay, a short shower, but then you’re right. We need to get out of here before your mom decides to kick us out. I really think that we need to talk about what’s going on with her, though.”

He kissed me, his mouth forcing mine open as he rubbed his thumb across my nipple, making it spring to attention again. “Okay, shower first, though. I don’t want to think about my mom right now. I want to think about what it felt like to be in you. That’s all I want anymore, Rose, I’m a simple man.”

Chapter 16

“What’s this?” The butler had brought Brett’s car down to the guest cottage for us sometime during the morning when we were in bed. Brett was scowling down at the front seat when I walked up, carrying my overnight bag.

“You got something in there?” Dropping my bag in the open trunk, I scooted next to him to look in the car. There was a box on the passenger seat and Brett was staring at it like it had a bomb in it. I sighed and opened the door, lifting up the lid before he could stop me.

“No, Rose!” He leaned over to grab the lid from me, but by then we could already see what was in it. Tucked inside was a plate of cookies, two bottles of soda, a box of candy, and a note. I grabbed the box of candy and shook it in his face.

“Do you remember these? I loved these when we were kids!” Popping open the bottom I shook out some chocolate buttons and offered him one. He shook his head, but I tilted my head back and threw two into my mouth, sighing as they melted on my tongue.

He had the note in his hand and was looking at it curiously but hadn’t moved to open it. “I think that I remember those.” His voice sounded far away and a little curious, and I leaned over to take the note from him.

“You want me to open it?” When he didn’t respond, I slipped my finger under the flap and tore it open. There was a single sheet of paper inside, and I pulled it out to hand it to him.
