Page 60 of Promise Me a Forever Texas Love

She tugged on his hair until he finally lifted his head.

Molten gold eyes blinked at her. “Is there a reason you stopped me? I was enjoying myself . . . and if the little noises you were making in the back of your throat were any indication, you were too.”

“I was, but I’m not going there without you this time. Now get up here, Huckleberry.”

He moved over her, sliding up her dress as he went and placing soft kisses in random places—each hipbone, her belly button, the spot where her ribs met. The halter top kept him from going further. He lifted his head.

“I’ve been wondering about something.” Leaning his weight on one arm, he reached behind her neck and worked the knot loose.

She’d nursed Camden and knew her boobs weren’t as pretty and pert as they’d once been. Her cheeks heated as the sides of the halter slipped down, but Huck was too focused on her boobs to notice.

“No bra,” he whispered as he reverently took one in hand and gently squeezed. “So beautiful.” He brushed a thumb over her nipple until it tightened with need. He groaned. “So fuckin’ beautiful.” Cadee forgot all about being embarrassed as he lowered his head and took her into his hot, greedy mouth.

Her desire had been on a low simmer, but Huck’s enthusiastic attention to her boobs quickly brought it to rolling boil. When he slipped one hand between her legs, she almost boiled over.

But she wasn’t going there alone.

She slid her hand beneath the waistband of his boxer briefs and fisted him tightly. He groaned against her nipple. She started pumping and he lifted his head, eyes glassy.

“God, I want you,” he whispered.

“Then take me,” she whispered back.

He gave each nipple a sweet kiss before he rolled away and got up.

She sat up and watched as he grabbed his jeans. “What are you doing?”

“I thought this time we should probably use a condom.” He held up a packaged condom. “Unless you want to make Camden a sibling. Which is fine with me.”

The thought of making another baby with Huck had her heart tightening. But it was too soon for those thoughts. “No. I just wasn’t thinking.”

His smile flashed bright. “Good. I like to jumble up your thinking, Catydid.” Never taking his eyes from her, he slid down his boxers before he removed the condom and roll it on. He stroked himself from base to tip.

“See what you do to me, Cadee? I wake up wanting you and I go to bed wanting you. And even after I left, that didn’t change. It will never change.”

His words had her melting all over again and she slipped off her dress and then laid down to shimmy out of her panties. When she was completely naked, she met his gaze. “And me wanting you will never change.”

He took an uneven breath as his gaze ran over her body. “Then maybe it’s time to give each other what we want.” He lowered his knees to the mattress and crawled over her until they were hip to hip. Chest to chest. And face to face.

“I love you, Cadee.”

Her eyes filled with tears. “I love you too, Huck.”

This time when he entered her, there was no pain. Just a sweet stretch that had them both sighing. A sweet stretch that fed the ache deep inside of her that she’d been living with too long. Huck must have felt the same way because he stilled when he bottomed out and rested his forehead against hers.

“Cadee.”

She cradled his face in her hands. “Huck.”

They stayed that way for a long time before they both started moving. Their lovemaking had been awkward as kids, but there was no awkwardness now. Just like with two-stepping, they fell into a perfectly synchronized dance of sweet pulls and deep thrusts. Everything fell into place and all the hurt of the past disappeared. There was only Cadee and Huck.

Always Cadee and Huck.

As their bodies raced for the finished line, their hearts slowed to a standstill and acknowledged the truth.

We’re finally home.

“Cadee, baby. Wake up.”
