“What in the world is he doing here?”

I quickly pushed the blanket off me, set my book down, and went to answer the door. Once it was open, I tried to ignore the way my heart fluttered in my chest at the sight of him standing there.

“Caden. Is everything okay?”

He took one step, cupped my face in his hands, and moved us back into the house, kicking the door shut behind him. It didn’t take me long to completely melt against him as I got lost in a kiss that almost felt frantic, on both sides.

Drawing his head back, he looked into my eyes. “I had the fight of my fucking life to keep my hands off of you today.”

Smiling, I lifted my own hands and pushed his jacket off his shoulders, then onto the floor when he dropped his arms. “I felt the same.”

His hand returned to the side of my face, his thumb brushing softly over my lips. “I know I said just those two days were it…but I can’t stop thinking about you. Dreaming about you. I need you, Lili.”

My heart felt as if it did a quadruple spin in my chest at his words. I wasn’t going to think too long and hard about what they meant, though.

“My bedroom’s just down the hall, first door on the right.”

Before I had a chance to say anything else, Caden swept me off my feet and headed toward my room. Once inside, he gently put me down on the bed. He stood up, tossed his cowboy hat onto the chair in one corner, then pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it to the floor.

My eyes moved down his chiseled chest and stomach as heat bloomed in my body. I licked my lips, almost moaning when he unbuttoned his jeans and slowly pushed them down.

Once he was completely naked, he reached his hand out for mine. He drew me up, and ever so slowly began undressing me.

“I love these pajamas.” He grinned.

I felt my cheeks heat. “They’re my favorite reading pajamas in the winter because they’re so soft.”

He leaned down and kissed along my jawline, causing my entire body to shiver. “They are soft…but not as soft as your skin.”

My head dropped back as he moved his mouth down and captured a nipple, and sucked.

“Oh God,” I moaned, while a zap of pleasure shot from my nipple to between my legs. “Caden.” My hands pushed into his hair, drawing him even closer to me.

He soon had me completely undressed and on the bed, covering my body with his. I spread my legs and willed him to enter me. I could feel him at my entrance, teasing.

“Please don’t tease me.”

He leaned over the side of the bed and produced a condom. I watched as he rolled it down his impressive length, then settled between my legs once more. He moved his hand between my legs and pushed his fingers inside of me, moaning as he pumped a few times.

“You’re so wet already, Lili.”

“I want you, Caden. Now.”

That was all he seemed to need.

The moment he pushed inside of me, I felt the buildup. His lovemaking before had been slow and passionate; this time, it was filled with lust and need.

He buried his face in my neck and moaned my name as he moved inside me at a pace that was going to result in a release for both of us much sooner than I wanted.

“Lili… God, Lili, you’re so perfect. Baby, I’m not going to last long. Come for me.”

He slid his hands under my ass, lifting me at an angle that completely undid me. The orgasm swept over my body like an ocean swell. We cried out as we came together. When Caden slowed, he rested his forehead against mine while we caught our breath.

When Caden rolled off me and onto his back, I felt myself smile. “That was a nice Christmas surprise.”

He laughed and reached for my hand, lacing our fingers together. The act felt so intimate, even after we’d just had sex. Caden Wilde never ceased to surprise me, and for a brief moment, I let my heart soar with the possibility of—

I squeezed my eyes shut and pushed all of those thoughts away. I wasn’t going to read into anything. Caden had been feeling the same desire as me all day. We both wanted each other, and that didn’t change anything else.
