“Don’t stay up too late,” I said.

“You either,” he snorted and then closed the door to his room.

I waited until I heard music coming from his clock radio, then I pulled Cassie into my room.

“I keep thinking about you,” she said as she pressed against me and kissed my neck. “I want you.”

I lifted her and set her down on the bed. She sat on the edge while I ran my hands over her legs and removed her heeled sandals.

“Did you tell your sister all the details?” I asked, sliding my hands higher, over her thighs.

She opened her knees for me and giggled. “A few. She liked saying, ‘I told you so’. Cami knew how I felt about you even when I was still in denial.”

I pulled my shirt off and climbed on the bed, easing her back to stretch out beside me.

“I had a nice chat with your dad,” I said as I casually rolled the sleeve of her dress down. I kissed the smooth shoulder underneath.

“You did?” She got up on her elbows, her eyes wide. “What did he say?”

“That he was tempted to use his hammer and chisel on certain important parts of my body.”

She put a hand to her mouth. “No! He didn’t!”

I laughed. “Nope, not at all. Cord Gentry was as polite as he could be under the circumstances. “

“Good.” She relaxed and touched my cheek. “You’ve been quiet tonight.”

“I know. There was a reason for that. Just before you got here my mother called. And this time we actually talked.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I didn’t tell Brecken. Didn’t want to give him false hope. At the end of the call she dropped a small bomb. She said she’s coming back to the states to face trial.”

Cassie let out a small gasp. “Curtis, that’s a good thing, right?”

“Yeah, it’s a good thing. It’s better than all the uncertainty of not knowing, especially for Brecken.” I paused. “I still can’t believe we really talked. And you know what? Even though she’s still on the run in a foreign country it was the longest conversation we’d had since I was a kid.”

“I’m so glad,” she said happily and then laid her head on my chest . “I want to hear all about it.”

“And I’ll tell you.” I played with her long golden hair and then my hands travelled lower, lifting up the hem of her dress and sliding into her panties. “But first I just want to enjoy the way you feel. Unless you’re too sore after last night.”

“I’m not.” She pushed her panties down and reached for my belt. Then she froze. “But what about Brecken? He’s right in the next room.”

“He’s got his music on,” I said, freeing my cock and then rolling on top of her. “Just don’t shriek like a banshee every time you come the way you did last night.”

Cassie giggled and opened her legs. “I seem to remember that you weren’t exactly quiet and controlled yourself.”

I grinded my hips against her and she opened her legs wider, her face already flushed with desire. Fuck, she excited the hell out of me.

“It’s not easy to control myself with you,” I said, taking hold of her arms and pinning them above her head. “But I’ll try not to let the neighborhood know about it.”

“Curtis,” she moaned, writhing underneath me because I was teasing her now, rocking back and forth to the rhythm, making sure she felt me but not pushing my way in.

“Cassidy,” I whispered before I entered her body. I still didn’t know how I’d managed to deserve her but I was finished questioning it. She was mine.

“You’re everything,” I whispered when I was inside of her. “You’re everything.”
