But I trusted Kane. Totally and completely. Not that I would tell him that. I think I’d met my quota on embarrassing confessions this evening.
Once he’d rolled on the protection, the pace of the encounter changed. He settled back between my legs, but the urgency was gone. He rested on his forearm and stared down at me as his hand cupped my face. His thumb traced my lips before he leaned down and gently pressed his mouth to mine.
The kiss was soft, sensual, and oddly stimulating. This slower, more deliberate pace caused tingles to swirl in my lower belly. His thumb grazed my cheek as his kiss lulled me into total submission. It was the perfect combination of tenderness and firmness. I whimpered as the need intensified in my core. He continued kissing me until my entire body was vibrating with arousal. The only thing keeping me on the bed was the delicious weight of Kane’s body on top of me. Otherwise, I would be levitating.
Slowly, he broke our kiss and gazed down at me. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Not trusting myself to speak without sounding desperate, I nodded.
“I need to hear you say that you are.”
“Yes, I’m sure. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my entire life.” I could hear the desperation in my voice, but I didn’t care.
The corners of his mouth tilted up as he ran his hand over my shoulder and down my upper arm. His fingers wrapped around my wrist, and he lifted my arm above my head and then did the same with the other. Using one hand, he held my wrists, trapping them in place. The thought that I was at his mercy sent a thrill racing through me.
I’d never been tied up before. A few guys I’d been with had asked if that was something I was into, but I’d always declined. The truth was, I had been curious, especially after reading Fifty Shades, but I didn’t trust those men.
If Kane asked me, I would let him do whatever he wanted to me.
His eyes remained locked with mine as he reached between our bodies and guided his cock inside of me. At first, it was just the tip, but then he pushed farther in one deliberate thrust. The pressure of his size took me by surprise, and I gasped. He stilled, allowing me to adjust to the intrusion. He pressed soft kisses on my forehead, my cheeks, my nose, and then my mouth.
I tried to wrap my arms around his neck, but he tightened his hold on my wrists, keeping them trapped above my head. The feeling of being held in place sent a shockwave of arousal through my body. I could feel myself getting wetter as my inner walls began to pulse around his shaft.
He began to move in and out of me with a steady rhythm. Each time he entered me, he did so with just a little more force. With one hand, he gripped my wrists, while the other grabbed my thigh and pulled it up to his waist. The new position allowed him to drive even deeper inside of me.
Within just a few pumps, the pleasure that had coiled low in my belly exploded. I shut my eyes as my world dissolved into flashes of bliss. As soon as I went over the edge, Kane surged into me once more. His body tensed above me as tremors quaked through me, and I cried out in sensual gratification. I lost myself in the consuming oblivion of my release, giving myself over to its power.
When I felt his fingers release their hold on my hands, I gradually floated back into myself. I lowered my arms and wrapped them around his back as he buried his face into my neck. After a few moments, he started to push up on his elbows, but I tightened my hold.
“Wait,” I requested breathlessly. “Just don’t move yet.”
He relaxed, and I luxuriated in the weight of his body on top of me while he was still deep inside of me. If it were up to me, I’d stay like this forever. But since I knew that was impossible, I just hoped to float in this bubble of intimacy a few moments longer.
Because once it popped, I knew I’d have to face reality. A reality where Kane and I would never be together. I just wasn’t ready to do that yet.

“Would ya like your nose back? I found it in my business again.” ~ Miss Dottie
Before I even opened my eyes, I knew that there was no one else in my bed. Ruby was gone. I sensed it. My lids lifted, confirming my suspicion. I was alone. I rolled over and splayed my hand on the side of the bed she’d occupied. The sheets and pillows were cold. She must have snuck out hours ago, in the early morning.
Disappointment flooded through me. Not only because I’d hoped that we might be able to have a little morning delight, but also because I knew I wouldn’t see her again for…I had no clue how long.
She was John Denver-ing it, except instead of a jet plane, she was leaving on the cruise ship, and I didn’t know when she’d be back again. She’d mentioned possibly heading out to California after her summer at sea. I should be happy that she was considering living close to Remi. I knew how much it had killed him not being able to see his baby sister on a regular basis. He’d always felt like more of a parental figure to her than a sibling.
Which made what happened last night even worse.
I sat up in bed and scrubbed my hands over my face as I exhaled. There was one voice in my head saying that we were both consenting adults and we hadn’t done anything wrong. But there was another voice saying that I knew what happened was wrong. Ruby deserved better than a one-night stand. And Remi…fuck. He’d never forgive me if he found out.
I knew I should regret spending the night with Ruby, but I didn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to feel anything negative about the night we’d shared together. If I could do it again, I wouldn’t change anything—except maybe that I wouldn’t have fallen asleep so I could have gotten the chance to say goodbye to her.
My phone buzzed on my nightstand. After we’d made love, I’d gone downstairs to get us water, collect our clothes, and let Bandit out once more. When I’d returned, she was waiting for me, naked in my bed, and I’d taken full advantage of her being there.
As my phone vibrated again, memories of the night before began filling my brain. My heart jumped in my chest, hoping it was a text from Ruby. When I picked it up, that hope was dashed. I’d missed a call from Sunset Acres. I played the message from Dr. Edwards. He told me he’d stopped by the rehab that morning and cleared Grandad to leave. He said Grandad would be discharged this afternoon.
That was good news, so why did I feel like my dog just got run over by a car? I knew the answer, even if I didn’t want to admit it. Ruby was gone, and she hadn’t said goodbye.
