“More,” she said when he didn't move for a beat. “More.”

He loved how she was never afraid to ask for what she wanted. He started moving, his pace already fast and hard. Something about today told him that they both needed it that way.

Some days you needed to make love and some days you just needed to fuck.

And this was the latter.

He was pounding into her with wild abandon and loving how her body just opened up to him. In the last week, they’d had a lot of sex. And he already knew her body and what it liked and didn’t like.

And it loved what he was doing right now.

Pulling him down on top of her, she wrapped her legs around his back and found his mouth. This had become his favorite thing. She always seemed to need to be kissing him when she came. And that made their connection even greater.

She shuddered under him, her muscles gripping his cock tighter forcing him to lose control. Together they lay, breathing heavily in each other’s ears.

“That was unfair,” she said.

He lifted his head. “Unfair?”

“I was trying to coerce information out of you and you turned the tables, so to speak.”

“Honey, you can have any information you want.” He shook his head. “But let me clean up first.” He hated having to leave her body so soon after lovemaking, but condoms weren’t one hundred percent and he wasn’t ready to think about babies yet.

He found her in virtually the same position when he returned from the bathroom. Throwing her one of his t-shirts that he’d grabbed for her from his room, after he’d gotten shorts for himself. Then he went and got them each a water.

“Really wanna’ know what I know about Logan?” he asked, handing her the water and sitting down.

“I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours?”

“Well...it seems as if when he found Mel lying on the floor, everything changed. Like he saw her for the first time or something. His words, not mine.”

“Interesting,” she said. “So he likes her?”

“That’s the way it seems.”

“Then it’s a good thing she likes him back.” She wagged her eyebrows at him.

“Mel likes Logan? My brother Logan, who she has known her whole life?”

“Yes, you idiot. And has it seems, for a long time.”

“Hmm,” he said. “Go figure.”

“Is that weird for you?”

“No.” He shook his head, “I don’t think so. I mean, I’ve always loved her like a sister, but she and Logan had a different relationship.”

The more he thought about it, the more he could see them together.

“Do you think that Logan is going to do anything about it because honestly, I don’t think Mel will?And the way she is acting today is almost like her feelings have drastically changed.”

“Who knows.” He shrugged. “I’m gonna let Logan deal with his own love life. Mine is about all I can handle.”

When he saw her eyes widen and the shock in them, he realized that he had said love in conjunction to her. He wasn’t sure what to do or say, but he knew he didn’t want to take it back.

He started to speak but she beat him to it. “I didn’t come here looking for you. This town was supposed to be my sanctuary. A place to stay for a while and then leave. But somehow it has become home. A home that I never expected. A home that I always wanted. And you,” she reached for his hand, “you are part of that home.”

He closed his eyes and relished in her words. She gave him hope. A hope that he had never had or even wanted. And now because of her, he wanted the future that he saw in his dreams. A future where they were a family here in his hometown of Cedarville.
