“Wanda said…”
He shakes his head. “I don’t care what Wanda said. Of course, her father has tried to fix us up because he wants to join our land, but that’s never going to happen.”
My forehead is creased as I’m looking at him. I have so many questions. “So you and Wanda have never…”
When my voice trails off, he leans in. “In the last five years, since the day I met you, I have not looked at another woman, touched another woman, or slept with another woman. I couldn’t. Not when I knew that you would eventually be my wife and the mother of my children.” He shakes his head. “I couldn’t live with myself if I touched someone else, Daisy. You’re the only woman I want.”
The lights from the Christmas tree are flickering all around us, and I’m cocooned in his big body. “But… but you haven’t even kissed me, Cash.”
He leans in so close I’m sure he’s going to do it now, but he stops. I can feel his breath on my cheek. “I’ve kissed you a thousand times in my dreams, but I’d give anything to kiss you now.”
I slide my hands up his chest. “Kiss me.”
He doesn’t even hesitate. He devours me with his lips, and when he tilts my head to the side, he deepens our kiss. My heart is racing, and emotion wells inside me. I knew it would be good, but I had no idea it could be like that. When I pull back, I’m panting and looking at him wide-eyed. “Wow… I didn’t know…”
He kisses me again with just a nip of his lips, groans, and pulls away. “I knew… I knew it would be like that.”
He puts a hand on each side of my face. “I know all this seems so sudden, but I’ve been planning it forever. Please move here to Whiskey Run and do your student teaching here. We can take it as slowly as you want. I just need you here, under my roof. I’m going to prove that we’re meant to be together. I’m going to make all your dreams come true.”
I thread my fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck. “I’d like to stay in Whiskey Run. I’d like to stay here with you.”
“Yes,” he whispers before kissing me again.
I sit here and let him kiss me until we’re both so frenzied we look almost dazed. I push my way out of his arms and stand up, holding my hand out to him.
He looks at me reluctantly but stands up and follows me. “I don’t want to go to the party. I want to stay up here with you, Daisy.”
I just smile at him over my shoulder. I lead him through the bedroom and out into the hall. But I surprise him when I walk across to his bedroom door and push it open. “Daisy, don’t fuck with me right now.”
I release his hand and move farther into the bedroom. I sit down on the bench at the end of the bed and start to remove my shoes while he stares at me with his mouth hanging open. “I’m not messing with you. You said you wanted to make all my dreams come true, and I thought we’d start with this one.”
I stand up and move to the side of the bed. I unzip the zipper on the side of the dress and then let the material fall from my shoulders to the floor. “I always wanted to be in this bed with you. I want you to be my first, Cash.”
He’s in front of me in an instant. “I’m going to be your first… and your last, Daisy. Are you sure you want that? Because that’s all I’m offering.”
I shove his jacket off his big broad shoulders. “So let me get this straight. You’re offering me forever?”
He nods and tips my chin up. “Damn right I am.”
I start to undo the buttons of his shirt. “Okay. That’s what I want. I’ll take forever with you.”
I barely get the words out and he’s on me.

CASH
I need to slow down, but it’s damn near impossible. I have her completely naked, and I’m down to my boxers. She’s sprawled out underneath me, and at the first hint of insecurity when she showed me her body, I kissed, nipped, and licked her until she was unable to form a coherent thought. When I’m done with her, she won’t have any doubt that I love every part of her.
“Cash… my… geez… wow…” she says, and I smile against her hot skin.
With the taste of her orgasm on my tongue, I discard my boxers and kiss up her body until I’m hovering over top of her.
The way she’s looking at me with so much love in her eyes has my heart feeling as if it’s going to burst. “We can wait if you need more time, baby. We don’t have to do this tonight.”
