“Yeah?”

I crawled between her legs and pressed a kiss to her lips. “Fuck yeah.”

She grimaced, wiping the taste of herself from her lips. “Gross.”

“What’s wrong, baby? You don’t like to taste yourself?”

“Not particularly.”

“Too fucking bad,” I growled, slamming my lips down on hers, refusing to give up as I slid my tongue inside her mouth. She squirmed underneath me, laughing as I kissed her sloppily, making it harder and harder for her to escape me.

“Alright, alright! I give in!”

“Give in to what?”

“Anything. Everything,” she panted. “Whatever you want. Just don’t make me ever do that again.”

I rested on my elbows and brushed the hair away from her face, grinning down at her. “Anything I want?”

“Anything.”

“A man could get in a lot of trouble with freedom like that.”

“He could, so use that power wisely.”

“And what if I said that all I wanted was you?”

A smile tugged at her lips as she wrapped her arms around my neck. “I’d say it’s a really good thing Noelle isn’t here because she’d be gagging right about now.”

“But we’d sure as hell get mega points from Hallmark.”

“We would,” she grinned.

This time, I lowered my lips to her neck, kissing everywhere but her mouth, removing the taste of her pussy from my lips before I tasted her again. I was stalling and I fucking knew it. Once I sank inside Holly, that was it. It would be official that I moved on from Jade, and while I knew it would happen eventually and I was glad that day was here, I just hadn’t been prepared for how fucking good it would feel.

And I felt like shit for that.

But Jade had no room in my new life, so I shoved her to the back of my mind and reminded myself why I was here and who I was with. My new life, the woman who saved me from living a wretched life and made me laugh again—that was who I chose to be. And I wasn’t turning back.

I sank inside Holly, never tearing my eyes from hers the entire time. She was so goddamn beautiful that I almost forgot to move. I just stared at her, reminding myself to breathe.

“I fucking love you, Holly.”

HOLLY

I giggledas Asher ducked his head beneath the blanket and ran his lips over my stomach, kissing me everywhere. I was so ticklish and he knew it after the hours he spent exploring my body last night. The morning light was just peeking in through the windows and we’d yet to go to sleep, not that I was anxious to stop staring at this man’s body anytime soon.

“Asher, stop!”

“Nope. Still haven’t gotten to your legs.”

I crossed them, knowing exactly where he was headed. “I have to pee!”

He flipped the blanket up and waggled his eyebrows at me. “Now, that’s something I haven’t tried before.”

“That’s so disgusting!” I laughed, pushing him away from me. I got up, wrapping a blanket around myself as I hurried to the bathroom. Thankfully, the power hadn’t gone out, so I was nice and toasty warm. I was kind of hoping the roads were impassible so I could stay in this cocoon with Asher for another day. It would be nicer if we were at my house or his, but at least we were alone.
