She stared at me. “You have homes in both cities?”
I nodded. Then grinned. “I told you I was rich.”
“You didn’t tell me you were filthy rich,” she said and punched me in the arm. “Seriously? You’ve got two homes on opposite sides of the country?”
“Three, actually, but I don’t really like the place in Florida. Too many bugs down there.”
That made her laugh, and the sound went straight to my balls.
“I’ll tell you what, Ash. I might just take you up on that. But first, would you mind taking me to California? So I can visit with my parents? Would you like to meet them?”
She hadn’t said no. Hot damn. She hadn’t said no.
I grinned. “Sure, I’d like to meet your parents.” I swallowed. “Then maybe we could go see mine.”
A tear fell from her eye. “I’d like that very much. What about Alice?”
Shit. I’d forgotten about my snake. “I could give her away to a good home if—”
“No!” Her finger traced a circle on the back of my hand. “If you get a snake…” she looked up at me, “can I have a cat?”
Holy hell.
I swallowed. “Sure. I think if you can battle your fears, I can battle mine.”
Her smile could have lit up the world. “Yes, we’ll do it together.”
I pressed my lips to the soft skin of her temple. I had a lot of thinking to do. It was about time I figured out what to do with myself. “Maybe we could just start over,” I suggested. “If you’d like, we could find a place where we can do that. You pick. I’ll go wherever you want me to. You can finish school. I was thinking, if… well, if things progress the way I would like, and what with you becoming a veterinarian and all, we might buy a ranch someplace.”
She didn’t say anything for several moments, and I realized I might be going a little too fast for her. She might not even want—
“A ranch? Sounds nice. Someday.” She grinned and snuggled closer, her head nestled into the crook of my shoulder. “But no rush.” She looked up at me, her eyes filled with something. Affection? Was she feeling what I was feeling?
Her lips brushed against my neck, her teeth nibbling softly and my dick responded immediately. She laughed, her breath warm against my neck as she wrapped her arms around my waist and clung to me.
That was something I would never grow tired of. And at that moment, I knew I would do anything and everything to make this woman as happy as possible. Anything.
As her fingers moved to unbutton my jeans and I lifted her shirt over her head, I knew I’d never grow tired of this either. From the first moment I met her, I’d known I needed her in my life.
It looked like she needed me too.
I laid her down on the bed, my lips never leaving hers as I pulled her panties down her thighs. Then I groaned. Condoms. Why didn’t I buy fucking condoms?
Kathy giggled and reached over the side of the bed. A second later, she had a box of them in her hands. “A girl could always hope.”
My cock throbbed painfully as I rolled one on, taking in those gorgeous legs. Her firm breasts, topped with tight nipples the color of ripe peaches. The thin layer of curls between her legs, covering a place I wanted to know better.
I moved between her legs, spreading them wide until I could admire the glistening pink folds. Her entire body flushed and she squirmed under my inspection, but she didn’t protest. I leaned down to trace the tip of my tongue up her slit, and she shivered. Taking her clit between my teeth, I sucked until she climaxed in my mouth.
“You’re so beautiful,” I told her as I covered her body with my own, taking her mouth, letting her taste herself on my lips.
“I need you,” she said and lifted her hips until my cock nudged at her entrance.
Sinking into her for the first time, I whispered, “I need you too.”
As I made love to this incredible woman, I forgot about the past and found myself looking forward to our future. I would make her happy. Hell, I’d make her damn cat happy too.
Today. Tomorrow.
Forever.
