After long moments, they broke the kiss. She rested her head on his chest and shut her eyes, breathing hard. “When you’re recovered, I’m ready for round two.”

“Is that right?” She heard the smile in his tone.

“Mmhmm.”

“Then maybe I should smack this.” He swatted her ass cheek once, sharp enough to spread the sting through her. “Since the sound turns me on.”

She rolled her body against Colton’s. The need to never leave this bed was enormous. How long had they spent in it, just pleasing each other with their mouths? They hadn’t even gotten to the next round yet.

“What hold do you have on me, woman?” He slapped her ass once, the motion sweeping her cheek upward.

She panted with the sudden need to feel him inside her, stretching her wide.

With a soft cry, she moved to straddle his broad body. When she took his cock in hand and angled it toward her soaked pussy, their gazes caught and held.

The pleasure-pain of sliding down his long erection had her crying out. He echoed the sound with an animalistic one of his own. When she was seated with him fully inside of her, her pussy snug up against his body, her heart skipped.

“I love you.”

His eyelids hung heavy, under them came a blazing passion, from his deep-as-night eyes.

“You shouldn’t love a man like me.”

She rocked her hips front and back. “Too late.”

“You deserve better.”

She swung them side to side. “I have the best there is.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Then don’t ever hurt me.” Her chest heaved with the ecstasy drilling through her on every stroke of his cock. “Colton!”

He let out a groan. Cupping her face, he drew her down to kiss him. The way he so thoroughly showed her with his mouth just how much he wanted her made her mind spin.

He was in love with her, that much was evident. How could she make him state the words she needed to hear so badly?

“Yes! Colton!” She took him hard and fast, setting a pace to drive him as wild as he was driving her. Her pussy clamped on his length. Her insides tumbled.

Her heart shattered into a thousand pieces…but every piece belonged to him.

As she came apart for him, he cradled her close and whispered her name while his lips grazed her temple. Her cheek. Her lips.

“I love you! Fuck, Meadow!” He pumped his hips into hers.

When the liquid heat of his cum drenched her pussy, she let her eyes slip shut on the sensation. He loved her—she knew he did.

Loving her late brother’s friend there came a weight. She’d never leave Colton—it wasn’t even possible for her to walk away at this point. But the tremendous pain she carried with her made her realize Colton’s was just as heavy.

The guilt he bore over Forest’s death wasn’t something that would just go away, now or ever. He could only work through the painful knowledge that whatever he’d done—or thought he did—had been the end for her brother.

After lying on his chest for long minutes, she opened her mouth. Shut it again.

He eased the hair off her forehead and directed it behind her ear. “I know you want to ask me something.”

She remained silent, battling with whether or not the timing was right. But what better time than when they’d just shared their bodies in a union of love so strong that she couldn’t fathom leaving him.

“Meadow?” His tender tone stole the words from her mouth.
