“Because everyone here seems to be in love and if you came before…”

My smile expanded when her brows crept in but she didn’t finish the sentence. “I’ve never been here before and I’ve never been in love before, Cress.”

Her eyes shifted to mine. “Never?”

“Never.”

She hummed under her breath, prompting me to ask, “Have you?”

“Been here before…” Her smile was teasing as she shook her head gently. “Nope.”

“That’s not the one I was concerned with, but you knew that didn’t you?”

Her smile was lazy. “I did and yes, I’ve been in love before.”

My muscles tensed and flexed at the thought but she added. “I was twelve and he wasmucholder.”

“How much older?”

“Fourteen.” Her smile was beautiful and I chuckled.

“That’s a stretch.” I tapped her nose and she scrunched it. “Yep, but it was unrequited. He was a friend of Christian’s.”

“Yeah? And what happened with the friend of Christian’s?”

“He told me I had the body of a thirteen year old boy and laughed at me when I told him he was cute.”

I smirked and my eyes swept her body. I couldn’t imagine it ever looking like that of a thirteen year boy but I supposed anything was possible. “Well he should have understood that patience is a virtue because you matured quite nicely.”

“Thank you.” She smiled lazily and added, “Boys are dumb.”

I chuckled. “They are but occasionally that works in our favor. Him being dumb means I get to have you as my wife.”

“Hmmmm, you have a point.”

“So that’s the only time you’ve ever been in love?”

“Yep. It’s kind of hard to find time for relationships when every hour of every day is committed to your dreams.”

Dance…

“Then that one time doesn’t count which means when you do fall, you won’t be alone and neither will I?”

We’ll fall together.

“That’s a very big promise to make.”

“One I intend on fulfilling.”

Her gaze got heavy and her breathing became slightly labored. “I think I’m ready to go now.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

I leaned in and kissed her, feeling the same.

We got back to our bungalow and didn’t make it past the lounge chairs on the deck. I sat and Cress straddled my waist, pushing back enough to free my dick from my pants. I removed the condom from my pocket and ripped it open but she took it from me and worked it down my length before she lifted herself and sank onto me with a low throaty hiss of contentment.
