“Because I’ve been focused on you, babe.”

“Oh.” My entire body tingles with warmth. Have I ever been with a man who made my pleasure a priority? Definitely not like this. I hope this weekend never ends. “Ready to go upstairs now?”

Caden’s on his feet quickly. “We’re not making it upstairs, babe.”

My fingers reach for the belt loops of his jeans, pulling him in closer so I can work at his zipper. I’m desperate for him, despite how wobbly my legs are. My body tingles everywhere. It’s a pleasure overload, and yet, I want more. How in the hell am I still salivating for more of this man is a mystery I have no desire to solve.

Caden watches as I reach inside his unzipped jeans and wrap my hand around his hard length. He’shuge. But why am I not surprised? I push down his pants until they fall away and I’m left holding his cock. I start to stroke him, so turned on by the feel of him wrapped in my hand.

“You ready for another one?” Caden asks, his voice low and sexy.

I focus on that question because the real one, whispering in the back of my mind, is too heavy: How will I handlenothaving him after the weekend is over?

“I’m clean,” he says, “but I’ll use a condom if you want me to.”

“I’m clean too,” I admit. “On the pill.”

We lock gazes for a long moment, both of us thinking what we’re not willing to say out loud.Probably best not to knock up Marshall’s little sister.But the last thing I want to think about right now is my brother.

So I don’t.

“Where do you want me?” I ask him, still stroking his cock as precum smears my fingers. Never in my life have I considered something like this so erotic. So…intimate. I gulp a swallow, trying really hard to push away the heavy, unwelcome thoughts that continue to whisper their warnings.

“I kind of like you against that door,” he says in a possessive growl that causes wetness to pool between my legs on command. It’s enough to shut up the warning bells completely. Caden backs me up against it once more and lifts one of my legs around his hip. I’m so damn wet from all the orgasms that his massive cock slides home with ease. As if it’s always been home inside me.

“Fuck,” he growls. “You feel so fucking good, Ruby.”

Something about the way he says my name in this heated moment has me blacking out with pleasure. The only thing I can do is hold on and enjoy the ride. To relinquish control to a man I trust more than I’ve ever trusted anyone. It doesn’t make sense, and yet, somehow I know deep in my soul it’s the truest thing I’ve ever experienced.

I grip Caden’s shoulder and arch my back. He drops his mouth to mine, and I sink into the hungry, frenzied sensation of it all. Caden pounding his cock into me and sliding out slowly. Our lips and tongues desperately seeking one another over and over. Hot hands roaming, as though memorizing every inch. Our bodies molding together as one.

“Come for me,” Caden demands in his sexy low growl.

I explode on command.

I spontaneously combust, like a fireworks show in the sky. It’s a euphoria I never knew existed. A next level of pleasure that shouldn’t be real. And somehow, it is.

Caden pummels me, thumbing my clit as I come hard on his cock, until one final thrust. He drives deep into me, groaning my name as he comes apart inside me. He grips me tightly, as though we can’t possibly get close enough, and fills me.

“You’re mine, Ruby,” he says low against my ear. “Mine.”

CADEN

The chimefrom my phone jerks me awake. Out of habit, I reach toward the nightstand.

I feel a soft but firm kick at my shin and notice a sleeping Gram at the foot of the bed, curled up between Ruby and me. For a moment, I forget about the incoming text. I’m lost in a blissful fantasy of a future that looks a whole helluva lot like this. Maybe there’s even a toddler sprawled at an odd angle, arm draped over another dog.

I want this.

I let out a silent laugh. The kind that rocks through my body. In all my years as a marine, I always yearned for a family but never thought I’d actually have one. After Marshall took a bullet to the shoulder for me, I didn’t feel as though I deserved to be happy. It’s because of him I’m even here now.

He’ll be back tomorrow.

I glance at Ruby’s sleeping form, her curly hair wild from all the tangling in the sheets. My dick hardens instantly at the memory of her lips around it. The fucker is eager to be back inside her. To claim her again and again until I figure out a way to make this our reality. Forever.

My phone chimes again.
