ass with both hands and yank him tighter against me.

I mean, sure, I could attempt it with only one hand, but why go half-way, right? And besides, I wanted to do a lot more than that.

I pulled back to say, "We should probably take the bear into your bedroom."

Chase lifted a single eyebrow. "Oh, yeah?"

"Definitely. I mean, he's probably really tired."

The hint of a smile tugged at his lips. "How about you?"

I shook my head. "I'm not tired." I glanced toward the master bedroom. "But I wouldn’t mind hitting the bedroom just the same."

Now that was a massive understatement. Or was it? I mean, I wasn't terribly picky about the location, just as long as I had Chase all to myself.

In front of me, he looked almost ready to laugh. "You wouldn't mind, huh?"

Deliberately, I jerked my chin upward. "Well, maybe I'm playing hard to get."

He grinned. "I'll show you hard to get."

And with that, he swooped me up into his arms almost exactly like he'd done that very first time, up in the hayloft. But this time, instead of heading toward a pile of straw, he headed straight to his bedroom, carrying me and the bear along with him.

When he reached his king-size bed, he tossed both of us – me and the bear – straight into the center. I fell in a laughing heap, giddy with love and anticipation.

But then, my laughter faded to a warm, happy glow as I gazed up at the guy I loved.

He was doing it again – looking at me like I was the only girl in the world. I loved when he did that.

I crooked a finger, beckoning him closer.

His gaze shifted to the bear. "Are you sure he's gonna want to see this."

I giggled. "Wait, how do you it's a he." I gave Chase the squinty-eye. "Come to think of it, how do I know you're a he."

With cool deliberation, he shoved off his shoes. And then, he moved onto the bed and prowled closer, like a predator stalking his prey. In a voice laced with sin, he said, "If you play your cards right, I'll prove it."

Oh, boy. He really did have an amazing voice.

Already, I could feel myself growing warm and ready with anticipation. Or was it longing?

In the end, I decided it was both, because suddenly, I couldn't wait a moment longer.

And from the look in Chase's eyes, I wasn't the only one.

I was wearing a white sleeveless top and a long country skirt, while Chase was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt. These weren't a lot of clothes, and yet, they suddenly seemed far too many.

With growing eagerness, I reached for the hem of his shirt even as he reached for mine. And then, as if both of us couldn’t wait another moment, we were tugging off each other's clothing in a desperate bid to be naked with the person we loved.

It seemed like an eternity, but suddenly, all at once, there we were, naked, upright on our knees, facing one another on Chase's nice and roomy bed.

My hands were on his hips, and his hands were on my shoulders as our gazes locked and held.

I wanted him.

And yet, I couldn't help but stop and appreciate the splendor of his naked form.

My gaze drifted from his face, down his sculpted chest, past his well-defined abs, and lower still, until I stopped at the sight of his massive erection.

Oh, man.

He was one heck of a guy, alright.

And me? I was just as ready as he was. Already, my insides were slick and eager with longing. Oh, yeah. I wanted him. Bad.

When I returned my gaze to his eyes, my breath caught at the look of pure, unbridled love that I saw staring back at me.

Without breaking eye-contact, he slid his hands up from my shoulders and over the sides of my neck, until he held the sides of my face in both of his hands. With more tenderness than I'd ever heard, he said, "Mina, I love you."

Oh, man, I loved the way that sounded. "I love you, too."

Almost in a trance, I moved forward, and so did he. Our lips met in a ragged kiss, filled with all of the longing that we'd been holding back for hours, days, maybe a lifetime.

We were still kissing when we tumbled sideways onto the bed, with our hands exploring, our tongues intertwining, and our hearts racing as we took all of the time we needed to get reacquainted with each
