Her heart skipped a beat at the obvious sincerity in his voice. Her insides melted like a lump of butter in the sun. “Cade, it’s my first time, too.”

His blue gaze roamed her face as though he were committing her every feature to his memory. “Do you…do you still want to do this?”

Jocelyn’s body was on fire for him. To send him away now would have been like a slow death. She needed him right now as much as the air to breathe, to feel the press of his body against hers, their hearts beating as one.

“Yes. I want you, Cade.” Lying back, she held her arms out to him, ready to receive all he had to give.

He pushed her thighs apart with his free hand and gently pressed his cock at her entrance. “Are you sure, Jos?”

“More than I’ve ever been in my life. Please make love to me, Cade.”

He shoved forward. And missed. His cock slipped between her thigh and outer labia. They both laughed.

“Here, let me help.” Jocelyn spread her legs further apart and gently separated her slick nether lips.

This time, when he pressed forward, Cade hit mark. He hesitated once he had a couple inches inside of her. “I love you, Jocelyn.” Then he thrust again with one powerful motion.

Jocelyn braced herself for his intrusion, but the pain she’d expected was nowhere near as painful as she thought it would be. Instead there was an incredibly tight, straining feeling within which would take some getting used to. She silently applauded Cade his control as he remained still.

He dropped a kiss on her brow. “Are you okay?”

She nodded, appreciating the time he gave her to adjust to his size. Once her body adjusted to him, she lifted her hips to signal she was ready. Needing no further encouragement, Cade move deeper into her hot sex, and then pulled out almost until he was completely out of her before thrusting even further into her. Jocelyn gasped at the delicious heat swirling inside of her as he stretched her * to its limits.

Cade’s movements were slow and steady for several strokes, but something within Jocelyn wouldn’t allow her to remain compliant beneath him. She wanted more. Wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, she gyrated her hips, meeting him thrust for decadent thrust, until she wasn’t sure where his body ended and hers began.

They pushed and strained against each other, slowly moving toward a mind-blowing climax. When she reached her peak, it was pure nirvana. Cade cried out her name, pulling out before spilling his seed. And then with a groan, he collapsed against her, his breathing ragged. “I knew it would be like this.”

So did she.

That perfect night under the stars changed their lives forever. From then on, they’d become inseparable. She could share her deepest, innermost feelings with Cade without recrimination. He was her best friend, confidant and lover. Their love making had become better with each time they came together. Jocelyn knew he would be the man she wanted to be with for the rest of her life, but he was still young. Though Cade was gung ho about settling down, Jocelyn as well as his brothers, believed he should wait a few more years.

In the meantime, Cade had encouraged her aspirations to one day open up her own little clothing boutique in town. He’d even shown her the ad for the internship in the newspaper. If only he hadn’t shown it to her. If only she hadn’t taken it. If only she hadn’t gone to that party.

If only she could stop loving him.

Tears coursed down her face as the memories flooded her mind. There was no point in dwelling in the past. What was done was done and there was no turning back. She would have to accept her life as it was—one without love.
