“Christ, yeah, baby. Milk me! I’m going to fill you up over and over again tonight.”

“Yes!” She covered his hand where it lay over her breast and threaded her fingers with his.

The act was so intimate. His fucking heart would never be the same.

War had torn him to shreds, but he’d walked away from that more whole than he would when he left this ranch.

Left her.

“Please! Deeper! Oh gawd!” Her keening cry hit a split second before her pussy squeezed his cock on her release.

The tight clench stole…his…fucking…mind.

Throwing his head back, his body bowed and he let out a roar of completion as he shoved his cock as deep as it would go and flooded her with a release so enormous that he wondered if he could ever really walk away.

Chapter Fourteen

Moving through the darkened rooms of the house where she’d grown up was nothing new to Meadow. Doing it in Colton’s arms was something altogether different.

He could try to push her away, but she refused to let him. It wasn’t even possible now—her heart was entangled.

It sounded crazy even to herself, but from the minute she got word from Forest’s friend that he was coming to the ranch and would need a ride from the airport, Meadow had felt connected to Colton.

She couldn’t help but wonder if her big brother had seen something in Colton that he just knew would light a spark in her.

When they reached the open door of her room, she saw his face for the first time in the light of the lamp burning on her nightstand.

He looked just as shocked as she felt to see him here, carrying her to bed after he’d just thoroughly fucked her up against the wall.

The thick feeling of his release between her thighs turned her on so much more. Everything inside her wanted him again.

And if he denied her?

Well, he wouldn’t. That much was clear as he laid her down and began to strip off his clothes.

This moment already felt different from the others. He looked at her, so calm, as if the storm inside him had passed as fast as the one they’d waited out in that cave.

She cut her gaze over his rugged features to the swell of his chest. The muscles of his arms bulged as he reached for her again.

She rolled into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

“Meadow…” His throat worked on a hard swallow.

She brushed the strands of hair off his tanned forehead. “Yes?”

“I’ve never wanted anyone like this. I…don’t think I ever will again.”

His confession stunned her speechless. Her heart pinched painfully. Breathless, she searched his dark eyes and saw the truth behind his words.

Her own throat thickened with emotion. “I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you either.”

With a harsh noise, he took her mouth captive again, kissing her until she felt her limbs go boneless and her pussy throb. At the moment when he tore the nightgown off her and began kissing every inch of her body, she knew—without a doubt in the world—that she was in love with Colton Nox.

They moved in a new rhythm. His kisses took on new meaning. Did he feel the change too?

He fed her passion through his tongue that traveled down the column of her throat to worship each of her breasts. When he edged his fingers between her legs and found the hard nubbin of her clit, she lost heart-racing minutes to bliss.

When she came up for air, gasping, his name on her lips, he rolled her underneath him.
