This is such an important moment, but it doesn't feel weighty. Even with his massive, muscular body pressing on top of me, I feel light as a feather. If this is how easy it is to be with the right man, if it's someone I can really trust, maybe there's a chance I will get over my phobia eventually.

I think it might be even easier if I wasn't just a girl out in the world. If I were…Moore's girl.

He groans, picking me up and moving my body into position. Instead of pulling me under his huge frame, he turns me so we're face to face on our sides, my thigh draped over his hip.

"We're going to do this gently, beautiful."

Looking down, my lips press together to stifle a gasp. The hard length jutting out between us looks as excited as I am. It's long and thick, and I can almost see the veins pulsing in anticipation.

The candlelight flickers against our skin as he slides one arm underneath to hold me against him. The fire crackles, a log shifting as it burns, and the window rattles from the force of the storm.

"I've thought about this from the second we met." Moore draws the head of his shaft slowly through my folds, not entering me yet, just stroking softly. "Wondered if I would ever be lucky enough to have you spend time with me."

"I wish we had more time." For a brief moment, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing. If we can't work things out, am I just leading him on? But no. This moment is so perfect. Even if nothing else ever happens between the two of us, we'll always have this one perfect night.

He shifts and nudges, then I gasp as the thick round head sinks into me. I can't stop staring, fascinated. Every physical reaction is amplified. My breath, my pulse, the tingles from everywhere our skin connects.

"So beautiful, my baby." I shiver as his breath cascades over my throat and he trails a line of kisses down my neck. A whimper escapes my lips as he presses deeper. "Relax. It's okay, baby. Do you want a little more?"

"I've already got a Moore, and trust me, he's not little."

As we laugh together, he shifts again, moving deeper.

"Gorgeous, sweet,andfunny." His hand roams across my side, my hip, then up until his thumb swirls slowly around my nipple. "You're the whole sexy package, Kallie."

Every time he presses deeper, he pulls out first to rub the wet tip against my clit, sending shudders down my legs. I hope that my smile is sultry, and I'm not grinning like an idiot. "So this is what people have been going on about. It's not so bad."

Moore leans in to breathe against my ear, his movements slowly progressing deeper until I gasp with every stroke. "This is just our first time, baby. Once you get used to me, you're going to be begging for it harder."

"Oh I will, will I?"

"You will. You're going to show up at my job site and want it in the back of my truck. You're going to want it every morning in the shower. You'll?—"

His thumb massages my clit gently as he thrusts home inside me, both of us moaning.

Meeting his eyes, I can feel the exact moment the realization rolls through me. I'm his. The decision is made. It's part me, part Moore, and part… Fate? The Universe?

"Mine," he growls darkly, searing my lips as he kisses me hard and deep, his slow thrusts stretching me open, helping me to take all of him. He gathers me against his chest, holding me tenderly and roughly at the same time.

It's too much sensation, too much heat, yet I want every single bit of it.

When we part for air, he thrusts deep, then keeps himself inside me as I stare into his eyes, completely amazed.

Moore is in love with me. I can feel it.

MOORE

Idon't know the right way to go about this. Kallie has implied from the very beginning that she doesn't want to settle down and stay in one place. Yet she clearly wantsme.

For me, this isn't just a steamy good time between two people that happen to be snowed in together. This is what I've been looking for my entire life. Kallie is my everything. And I think she feels the same way.

Her soft fingers wander all over my skin as she examines every dip and curve of my shoulders, chest and back. "It's like your entire body is heating up," she breathes, every caress infused with emotion.

My heightened senses help me to guess what she's feeling as I shift, rolling on top of her. "Is this okay?"

Kallie grins and nods, wrapping her legs around my waist. Then she moans breathily when I start thrusting deep.
