“Yes!” She might not have a lot going for her in the boob department, but she washighlysensitive.

As he lightly closed his fingers on her nipple, her eyes rolled back in her head. She dug her fingers into his muscled shoulders and lost herself for dizzying moments.

By the time he moved to the other breast, she’d lost all sense of control.

“Please! Oaks! I need you!”

His low rumble sent shockwaves through her. In a flurry they stripped each other. Her top went flying like those panties had earlier across the floor. In that moment, she’d seen the way Oaks went still, the way his eyes hooded and the depths grew flinty with need.

She tore off his flannel, then the shoulder holster and his T-shirt beneath it. When she finally got her hands on heated steel, she was wild with desire.

“It’s been so long since I—”

“Me too.” He slammed his mouth over hers again while onehandedly shimmying her sweats off. She rolled her body to assist him in stripping them off.

He broke the kiss, chest heaving, and stared down at her. “Does this mean we’re consummating our marriage?”

“Oh, who cares? We’ll get a divorce later! Just…” She took his hand and pressed it between her legs, over her pulsating pussy.

With a growl, he cupped her. The tip of one blunt finger rode down her wet seam, over her soaking panties.

“You’re so…fucking…wet.”

“And you’re hard as steel. I want you. Now.” She was finished with the cute foreplay. It was time to get her way.

She tore at his fly. When she dipped her hand into the elastic of his boxers and brushed the hot hardness of his cock, she shared his moan.

She curled her fingers around his length and gave it one slow pump, watching his eyes as she did.

That lasted all of a blink. Yanking her hand away, he pinned it to the bed. With a dip of his head, he captured her nipple between his lips…and sucked.

“Ahhhh!” She lost her breath on her gasp. The electric pulses inside her swelled to a lightning storm.

Moving her free hand to the back of his head, she sliced her fingers through his short, soft hair. The scent of cedar hit her and she realized it was his shampoo.

Something inside her softened. If they’d met under different circumstances…

No. She couldn’t think about what was real and what was not. Right this second, the only thing that wasreallygoing to happen was Oaks sliding his hard cock inside her and her riding him to completion.

He released her nipple with a soft lap of his tongue that almost shot her through the ceiling into the universe. The flash of his eyes—and was that a crooked smile?—panned past her vision. Rolling to his feet, he dropped his jeans and underwear in one smooth move.

At the vision of the gorgeous man standing before her, her mouth dried out. “My god,” she rasped.

Yes, that was a smile. A toe-curling one.

He took his impressive length in his fist. Veins snaked over the back of his hand and up his arm. A bead of precum pooled at the tip of his cock.

“I’m only in possession of one condom, honey. Let’s make this good.”

Oaks braced his weight on one arm, hovering over Shiloh. The heated kiss of her skin against his had his pulse throbbing.

Gazing down at the breathless woman beneath him, he cupped her cheek. Her lithe body was beautiful, but she was thin from the worries she’d carried all these months.

“Hurry!” Her hot whisper brushed across his face.

“I know you’re ready for me. You’re drenched.” Unable to keep from dipping his stiff cock toward that wetness, he angled himself toward her pussy.
