“He may have hurt me, Cole, but you saved me.”
He reaches down, grabs my hips, and flips me over, devouring my mouth. His nails run down my thighs and around my behind.
He yanks my hips off the bed and grinds into me. “Feel what you do to me?”
I do; it is digging into me hard. “I can help with that.” I lean forward, pull off my shirt, and unhook my bra, then toss both aside.My…I’m bold this morning.I think I need to feel something, something that will push aside the fear that’s weighing heavily at the back of my brain.
“Oh, baby,” he moans, savoring the view. He runs his hands down my sides, then along my stomach, and finally over my breasts.
I bite my lip to stop from crying out. It has been too long since I’ve been touched.
“You’re fucking beautiful, Savannah.” He leaves hot trails with his tongue.
My fingers find his hair and grab on, making him kiss harder.
“Mmm, you taste so sweet.” He slips one hand into my soaked panties and runs a finger between my folds.
I arch my back, wanting more. “Ohhhhh…”
He closes his eyes. “I love how responsive you are.” Just as his finger is about to make a pleasurable dive, there’s a knock at the door. We both jump.
“Go away,” he calls out between kisses.
“Logan, your parents just arrived, and Dan is looking for you,” Paul says, instantly sucking all the fun out of the room.
Cole squeezes his eyes shut, cursing. “Yeah, all right, thanks.”
I sit up and push him back. I need to return to my room and have a cold shower. I grab the Army shirt and tug it over my head.
“I totally forgot they were coming.” He sighs, hands on his hips.
I step up on my tiptoes and give him a playful kiss. “To be continued,” I tease, smacking his butt and giving him a grin.
He hooks his arm around my waist to pull me back to him then turns me to face him. “Are you really all right?”
I run my hands over his shoulders. “I am.”
He leans in and gives me a quick kiss.
I pull off a piece of muffin and pop it in my mouth while listening to Cole’s mother, Sue, discuss her Christmas plans.
“Savannah, you should see what the town does for the week of Christmas. All the businesses decorate their stores, and each night for five days one place holds a party,” Sue explains, beaming.
“It’s a really big deal if your store is selected to hold one of the parties,” Abigail adds. “Of course, Zack’s was picked. He is every year.”
Mark appears at the patio door. “Savi, would you mind grabbing Cole for me? I would myself, but—” He points to his soaking wet boots. It has been raining all morning.
“Of course.” I hop up from the table to find him.
“Yes, Mark, you stay right there. I just had the floors cleaned,” Abigail warns as he pretends to move his foot inside, laughing.
I make my way down the hallway toward Cole’s office and hear voices when I get closer.
“Where is he now?” Daniel shouts. I freeze outside the door.
“Downstairs,” Cole answers.York is still in the house! Where downstairs?“He’s not talking, just says he wants to talk to her.” My stomach twists.
“No way. He’s crossed a line he can never come back from.” Daniel pauses. “Does Savannah have any idea about her father?”
