“I need you,” I gasped. “Like right this second.”
My core begged for him. Just the feeling of him being inside of me, stretching me open as he pressed in, would be enough to tip me over the edge.
“I can’t, princess.” His words echoed into the shell of my ear. “We don’t have a condom.”
“Why didn’t you prepare?” I moaned.
“Iwastrying to get stuff done and wait until tonight. But then I saw you in those fields, looking as fuckin’ amazing as you always do.” He pressed a kiss to my collarbone. “I couldn’t help myself.”
Ialsocouldn’t help myself. I knew what I wanted, and I didn’t want to stop.
“I’ve been tested, ever since I was with Trevor.”
He paused. “Please tell me you didn’t go to Henry for that.”
“No, it was in Nashville. Before we broke up, but we didn’t do anything after that.”
“He’s a fucking idiot.”
“The point is, we can just ... not worry about the condom.”
“There’s another consequence you might be forgetting about, princess.”
Right.Thatone.
I tried to let the thought wash over me and fill me with the same fear it used to. But then I imagined Cain with a tiny baby, andfuck.It didn’t have the desired effect.
“I don’t care.” The words slipped out of me and Cain pulled back, eyes wide.
“What?” he asked.
“I mean, you’re it for me. And I hope I am for you.”
“You are.”
“So ifthathappened, then it would be okay. At least with me.”
Cain’s lips tilted up into a smirk. “So ... you’re saying ... fuck it?”
“I am.”
I wondered if he would pull away and talk some sense into me. I probably needed it.
But instead, he crashed his lips against mine. I ran my hands through his hair, feeling like I was levitating.
“Is that a yes?” I asked, needing confirmation.
“You have no idea how fucking hot that offer is. And yes.” His teeth nipped at my bottom lip. “I bet Eric would like a sibling.”
If I weren’t so far gone, it would have dawned on me that he’dfinally been the one to hint at what we all had known for a long time. He was Eric’s dad. But I was too wrapped up in him to think about anything other than how good he felt.
Cain’s belt hit the floor, taking his pants with it. His bare cock pressed into my core, and I sucked in a sharp breath of air.
“Fuck,”I hissed.
“Yeah, I’m getting to that.”
I’d never been with anyone bare, too worried about the consequences if I let it happen. But now, with the man I planned to spend forever with, I could only feel the pleasure of him parting me as he pushed in.
