removed and you under the sheets.

I’ll be there in five minutes.

“What?”There was no way I was ballsy enough to be waiting under the sheets naked. Did he not know me at all? Unless …

Cordelia: I’m keeping on my underwear.

Caden: Nope. Remove it.

He can’t be serious.The only sound in my room was the outside noises echoing off my walls and my heartbeat racing more by the minute.

Cordelia: A lady doesn’t remove her dress when ordered.

Caden: Funny. I thought you agreed to play

by my rules last night. It’s okay. You’re

not ready and I won’t push you.

I sighedbecause I’d been thinking about this since he left my hotel room. I hadn’t known exactly what was coming, but I’d felt it and even suspected he would show me no mercy.

Cordelia: Okay. A deal is a deal.

I’ll be ready in five minutes.

Caden: You’re down to three minutes now.

Unlock your door. I’ll be there shortly.

Frantically,I started fluffing my hair and tossing the throw pillows off the bed to the chair, my mind moving a thousand miles per minute. Three minutes wasn’t enough time for me to prepare for this. I couldn’t even do my eye makeup in three minutes.

Out the corner of my eye, I spotted my perfume and lotion. I whipped off my dress and underwear, and started dabbing and rubbing in any spot I deemed necessary, glad I’d taken a shower an hour earlier. When I finished, I followed his directions and waited underneath the white sheet right after I switched off the main light and cut on the lamp.

I was so nervous, I didn’t know how to be still.Was I just supposed to wait now? Should I lay in a sexy pose? How many minutes have passed? Should I have put on a coat of lipstick?I didn’t have answers for any of the questions swarming in my mind. Picking up my phone, I sent him another quick message.

Cordelia: I’m ready.

My eyes were pinnedto those three dots indicating he was messaging me back.

Caden: I’m here.

No sooner hadthe message come through did my door slowly open. The loft was a good size, but the moment he stepped through the door it felt smaller than it had since I arrived. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting him to have on, but his brown cowboy hat, worn jeans, boots, and plain white tee just seemed to fit the moment.

“I see you listened,” he said, his eyes fastened on my breasts. I glanced down and noticed you could see my nipples through the sheet.

“You doubted I would?” I asked, quirking an eyebrow.

He shook his head. “No. Just grateful you did.”

His words warmed my heart, and was the only part of the Caden I knew peeking through.

He removed his hat, his gaze never leaving mine as he did so. I hadn’t gotten a chance to really see the length of his hair because he usually had it tied back. Even when he removed his hat, I’d never seen it loose.

Apparently, tonight he decided to give me another vision for my fantasy because his wavy, brown hair wasn’t pulled back, causing his cognac-colored eyes to look even more striking.

He removed his shirt next, those deep cinnamon abs I wanted to lick last night on full display again. I tried my hardest to give my best sexy stare as he gazed into my eyes and removed his boots, but I was sure I was failing. I dared any woman to watch Caden Madden slowly undress in front of her and keep her cool. It was impossible.

His hands went to the button on his jeans, but instead of taking them off like I suspected, he walked over to the bed, a sneaky smile on his face.
