Also, I’m pretty sure that Kaden is falling for me just as hard as I’m falling for him.
As we walk into his beautiful house, he pulls me into a hug, kisses the top of my hair, then releases me and steps back. “It’s so humid today. I’m going to jump into a shower before I hug you properly, sorry.”
He strides toward the stairs, then turns back when I clear my throat. “You’ve been telling everyone I’m your girlfriend. But… We haven’t gone over my official girlfriend tasks yet. Is washing your back one of them?”
I love the way his dark eyes light up before he crooks his finger at me. “Damn straight, gorgeous.”
Moments later, as we’re naked with our arms encircling each other in the steamy rainfall shower, I can’t believe this is going to be my life. Kaden is so playful. He listens to me, always trying to please me. And the heat between us grows every single day.
“You look like you’re a million miles away, baby.” My hair is tied up out of the way, and he brushes a stray tendril back from my eyes. “What are you thinking about?”
“Hmm. I read something about falling water making people calm. You don’t look very calm.” My hand travels slowly down his glistening chest and his rippled abs, then starts gliding up and down the thick, hard shaft standing up between us.
“No amount of falling water is going to calm me down when I’m staring at your perfect naked body,” he chuckles. “That would take horse tranquilizers.”
His hands grip my hips tightly as I continue to stroke him, loving the way he quivers from my touch. “Mmm, not yet.” He spins me away from his hard shaft, then washes my back thoroughly before pulling me to his firm, warm chest. Looking down over my shoulder, he caresses my breasts gently, then lightly pinches my left nipple. “I’ll never get enough of these.” His dark chuckle low in my ear sends heat spiraling through me.
Kaden’s right hand reaches down, straight between my legs. He parts my folds, stroking me softly as my arm reaches back to grip the back of his neck and my spine arches against his chest.
I start to quake immediately. It’s the way he holds me so securely. The way he already knows how I like to be touched. The way he seems to crave my orgasms as much as his own.
I gasp as his thick finger plunges into my pussy. Somehow, he twists his hand so that his thumb strokes against my clit perfectly. Warm water splashes across my breasts as I sag backagainst him, moaning softly. I love feeling enveloped in his strong arms.
I love feeling in love.
The sensation washes over and through me as the heat between us turns blistering. Every single nerve is connected to where his hand is stroking me, coaxing me toward my orgasm.
Kaden already knows how to play my body like a fiddle. “So sexy,” his dark voice murmurs again in my ear.
The climax has my stomach tensing up, thighs clenching as I shake, hips squirming as a series of explosions makes me quiver from head to toe.
“Kaden,” I choke, sputtering as my knees weaken. He scoops his free arm around my waist, holding me securely until the waves subside.
Then he spins me back around to face him, staring deep into my eyes as he sucks his middle finger clean. “My delicious girl.”
His saucy grin drops, suddenly serious. “You truly are mine, Zoe. But that also means I’m yours. Anything you need, anything you require to be happy and healthy, I want to give you.”
He turns off the splashing water, then drops to one knee, clasping my hands.
“I love you. And I already know that I’m going to love you forever.”

KADEN
I’ve never been this outspoken about my feelings. Yet I get the feeling that Zoe still doesn’t quite believe that they are real.
She stares at me in disbelief, water from the shower thickening her eyelashes. “You’ve called me the prince of this town.” I squeeze her hands, looking up at her. “I’ve never knelt for anyone before, but I need you to know, my beautiful Zoe, that I really do love you. And I’m positive I’m going to love you more every single day of our lives.”
A soft scratchy noise comes from the bottom of her throat, then her breath hitches. “I love you too. Even though it’s too fast and feels kind of…uneven.”
“Don’t worry. Just because I’m kneeling doesn’t mean this is a proposal. Thatwouldbe too fast. But it’s coming soon.” I stand, reaching out of the shower to grab a huge fluffy towel. Bundling her up in it, I walk Zoe straight into the bedroom.
“As to uneven, fast doesn’t necessarily mean imperfect. Like with our encryption systems. The idea came immediately, then we worked together to refine it.”
Her eyes light up. “You’re willing to work on me?”
“Every day. We’ll work on being amazing together. Work on…” I point back and forth between our hearts. “This.”
