Daisy fit right in.

While I believed it was possible when I first met her that I could have a couple of conversations with her and maybe meet up with her once or twice over the entire time of my trip, she’d given me a reason to want more than that.

Best of all, she seemed to be on board with it as much as I was. It was great to know the feeling had been mutual.

For that reason, I hadn’t anticipated I’d encounter any more surprises when it came to the trip. I simply thought Daisy and I would continue to have a great time, doing something fun every day for the remainder of the time we had together.

But I was wrong.

Because the biggest surprise on this trip came tonight, and it wasn’t even the obvious. Of course, I’d been caught off guard by the fact Daisy had asked to spend the night in the cabin with me and even more shocked she’d asked me to take her to my bed. I fully intended to discuss a few things with her about both of those, because I certainly had some questions for her.

The most unexpected thing that had happened was what occurred not long after I’d carried Daisy to the bed and gotten in it with her. While her beautiful body was beneath mine and she was holding on to me the way she was, she’d asked me if I’d give her what she wanted. It took me a moment to respond, because while I was more than prepared to give her what she was asking for right then and there, I recognized something else was happening.

As my eyes had roamed over her face, I realized I wanted to give Daisy a lot more than just a good night, more than just a good time on this trip. The thought had caught me completely by surprise, and I’d needed to take a minute to pull myself together then.

Fortunately, I’d succeeded, and what we had from that point forward was nothing short of amazing.

Now, I was here in the bed with her, both of us were naked, and I thought a discussion was in order.

Though I was aware I’d need to address the shocking revelation I’d had just before things really started to heat up between us, and I needed to do it soon, I didn’t have the slightest clue where to begin with all of that.

So, for now, I was going to focus on what I could with Daisy. That meant starting with trying to figure out what prompted her to go from being scared the day we went to Westwood’s to being ready to spend the night together tonight. I hoped she’d be willing to share the truth with me when I asked.

I was on my back in the bed with one of my arms wrapped around Daisy as she curled her body into mine, her cheek and palm resting on my chest.

“That was nice,” I said, breaking the silence that had been hanging in the air for several minutes now.

“Yeah,” she agreed, the sound of her voice an indication she was fully sated.

My lips twitched as I gave her a squeeze. “Can I ask you a question, or are you going to fall asleep on me?”

“What makes you think I’m going to fall asleep?” she countered.

“You sound like you’re on the verge of drifting off into dreamland,” I noted.

“Mmm.” That was her only response for several long seconds. In fact, I’d started to think she’d already succumbed and had been pulled under. But then she explained, “I’m just giving myself the opportunity to bask in the glorious effect of all that you just did. You should be proud of yourself, sir. You did not disappoint.”

Unable to stop myself, I held on to her as my body shook with the laughter that bubbled up out of me. I didn’t know why I had any thoughts about Daisy not wanting to answer a question for me. She might have occasionally hesitated with sharing things, but for the most part, she wasn’t shy about saying whatever was on her mind. I found myself even more attracted to her because of it.

“I’m happy to hear you enjoyed yourself.”

The fingertips on Daisy’s hand that had been resting on my chest started moving gently across my skin. “It was the best. I mean, my experience is very limited, but I can say that you are the best I’ve ever had.”

Just like that.

Most women might not have made mention about their prior experience, and to be honest, I could admit I wasn’t interested in those specific details of her prior relationships, but Daisy found ways to say things to me that made it impossible not to appreciate the sentiment behind her words.

“That’s good to know.”

Following a beat of silence, Daisy said, “So, what was your question you wanted to ask me?”

“What brought this on?” I asked.

She lifted her cheek from my chest and brought her eyes to mine. “What?”

Staring at her curious face, I couldn’t immediately reply. I was too caught up in how beautiful she looked. No makeup, her hair falling every which way, and that gorgeous mouth of hers.

Damn, did I feel lucky to be here with her.
