  After he unlocked our cabin door, I walked inside. It was a cozy room with a big king-size bed and a fireplace. It was completely romantic. Max flipped on a light. “Tonight was so fun.”

  “It was nice to see everybody again. Tomorrow is going to be good, too.” He assured me as he turned to look at me. Max moved closer to me as I slipped off my sandals and stared into my eyes. “This is how it was meant to be, Lucy. Us here together. Do you see that?”

  “I think I do,” I told him as I smiled at him. He kissed me and I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes. This was perfect, but I thought of the initial reason that we did this to begin with. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. “What if this doesn’t work? What if you don’t get Riley?”

  “The judge would be crazy to see that we’re not together. It’s going to work.” Max pushed me against the wall as he kissed me again and I moaned against his mouth. Our tongues moved together in a familiar rhythm as I pulled him closer. I felt my willpower weakening.

  “Max,” I moaned as he kissed my neck. My nipples were aching and my pussy slick as I dropped my head back, thinking about tonight.

  I still saw the fear in my parent’s eyes as they looked at me. The years with Braden had frightened them and I jerked in Max’s arms as memory flooded my brain. I pushed him away and paced the room as I tried to force it out of my head. “Babe?”

  “I’m sorry. This is just reminding me of everything. I know that all of that is over, but seeing my parents reminded me how worried they were. God, things are different now. They are.” I walked over and kissed him again as my heart pounded in my chest.

  Max pulled me over to the bed, dropping me down on it. He pushed my skirt up over my legs as we kissed hungrily and I wrapped my legs around him. The furthest we’d gone was him kissing my breasts because I knew that I’d cave if he touched anywhere else. It was harder every night that we were together and I felt him move to lift my sundress off my body, leaving me only in my bra and underwear. I watched as he stood and pulled his buttoned shirt off slowly, staring at me the entire time.

  I licked my lips and spread my legs apart, touching myself over the lace. Max widened his eyes as he watched, sliding his pants down as he revealed his hard cock. I slipped my underwear off and then my bra, shivering on the bed before him. I touched myself, needing the release as he watched me and stroked himself. “This is all I can give you right now,” I told him as he nodded. “I want you, but I’m scared, Max.”

  “It’s okay, Lucy. Just touch yourself for me. Like before.” I realized that Max hadn’t been with anybody else since meeting me and I gasped as heat rushed through my core. I pinched my nipple as I stroked my clit hard before sliding two fingers in myself and watching him.

  Max was perfect. His body was muscled with strong arms and a flat stomach. I admired him as I approached my orgasm. It was going to be a big one. I spread my legs as I pushed deeper. “Max, I’m coming,” I cried out as warmth washed over my hand. He jerked forward as he came. I watched as he grabbed a tissue to keep everything contained.

  We woke up the following morning and went our separate ways to get ready for the wedding. I got ready with the girls at a local salon where we had our hair and makeup done and ate lunch. Jane’s mother was there and was as sweet as could be. They asked me all kinds of questions about Max and our relationship and I answered the best that I could.

  Everyone looked at it like it was a second chance romance, but it was an arrangement. At least, it started that way. I told a sweet story about meeting again and falling in love as adults but the lines blurred as I talked.

  I changed the topic to learn about Jane and Cameron and listened as she told the truth about their love. They met and fell in love immediately and he asked her to marry him six months later. Jane told us that she knew he was it for her and that while they were simple, she was happy. They didn’t need much but they had a great life here in Montana.

  I wondered what would happen with Max. If he lost custody of Riley, our relationship wouldn’t be necessary anymore. He might resent me and not want me at all. I needed to get to that point so we could decide and go ahead with our lives. We hadn’t talked about getting married lately, what with this wedding, but we were together. That was enough for the court.

  The wedding was simple and beautiful. They walked down a path to a grove of trees. There were flowers strung in the branches. I looked up at the white and pink blooms with a soft smile as vows were said and two became one. I looked over at Max during the ceremony and then at my sparkly ring that shone in the sun.

  Would we have something like this down the line?

  We danced at the reception and ate catered BBQ. I laughed and talked with family and spent time with my brother. It was wonderful. When it was time to catch the bouquet, I was in front and it landed in my arms. I thought the tradition was for women that were totally single, but everyone pushed me out and I laughed as everyone cheered for me.

  I looked at my mom as she cried. They wanted me to be the next to be married and they were happy as everyone hugged me.

  Chapter Fourteen – Max

  I woke up the morning after the wedding and looked at Lucy beside me in bed. She was sleeping peacefully after dancing all night and looking like the most beautiful woman in the world to me. I couldn’t help watching her during the ceremony as she watched her brother. I wanted it to be us getting married. I was falling for her and I knew it.

  We got up and had breakfast with her parents before they left to return home. We were staying one more night and leaving the next day since I wanted to see some of Montana. Cameron and Jane had already left for their honeymoon in Belize, so once we saw the rest of Lucy’s family off, we hopped in the rental car and went for a drive.

  “I can see why they chose this place. It’s beautiful.” Lucy looked around as we drove with a smile. We stopped to hike in a forest that took us past lakes and creeks. It was nice to be alone with her after so much time with family, and I smiled at her when she glanced back at me. “What?”

  “You’re beautiful.” She stopped to face me as I walked up to her. I cupped her face with my hands and kissed her hard, needing her right now. Lucy kissed me back. She wrapped her arms around my back. I sensed something different about everything this time.

  We made our way down a path together, dropping onto the soft grass beneath a tree. Lucy pushed me back to the ground and slipped her hands under my t-shirt as she leaned in for another kiss. I still remembered the night before as she scraped her manicured nails against my skin and nibbled at my bottom lip.

  I knew that this was more than a lie now as I reached up to unbutton her shirt and cup her breasts through the camisole she wore. Lucy moaned against me and I allowed myself to go back to that place when I was in high school and we weren’t interrupted.

  I wanted her that night. I wanted to feel her body wrapped around mine, but Cameron had come outside and I’d known that he’d kill me for corrupting his baby sister. Hell, in some ways she was my baby sister.

  Today, we were alone, and Cameron had given me his blessing. He didn’t know that this was a front – and I’d never tell him – but he approved.

  As Lucy reached into my shorts and gripped my cock with her hand, I wondered how much of a ruse it was.

  I stripped off her shirt and turned her to her back as she stared at me, her eyes full of need. There was something more there. I leaned down to take one of her sweet nipples into my lips as she pulled me closer. I’d only touched them before this, and the feeling of them between my lips made me harden further. The noises that Lucy made as I suckled her made me moan as I dragged my teeth across her skin.

  We worked the rest of our clothes off and I looked around to make sure that we were in a private place, not wanting anybody to see what was mine. Once I felt secure about that, I kissed her down her body and spread her legs to look into her glistening core. She made me want to eat her up every time she got herself off for me, and now I knew
that I was tasting her cum from the orgasm I gave her from worshiping her gorgeous nipples alone. I pressed forward and licked her. She pressed against me and slid her hands into my hair. “Max, don’t stop.”

  I slid my tongue deeper to find her swollen clit and stroked it, knowing how sensitive it was. I knew that nobody had done this to Lucy before – at least not to this degree. I knew that I was the first and, with any luck, the last. She whimpered as I teased her, slipping a finger inside of her body to find her tight and wet.

  Fuck, I wanted her. I wanted to be the first man to feel her.

  I kept sucking and teasing her with the firm strokes of my tongue and she came again with a cry that echoed through the forest. I grimaced and tasted her warmth before I took a deep breath and moved to my knees. I was pained by how much I wanted her now. Lucy looked at me with a dazed expression as I moved up to kiss her, settling between her legs. I wouldn’t force this, but I could tell that she wanted it. “I always wanted you for my first, Max. I used to dream about it and after that kiss at the party, I wanted it even more. I wanted you, but you left. I think I still held onto the dream for years – maybe all of this time.” Lucy looked between our bodies for a moment, confused. “Will you give me that now?”

  “I’d be honored,” I assured her as I kissed her again, feeling the sweat between our bodies as I hovered over her. “I don’t have anything with me. I didn’t expect this.”

  “I thought about that. I just want you. I want this,” she told me as I eased her legs apart with my knees.

  “Are you scared?” I asked her. She smiled beautifully at me.

  “Not of you. You’ve proven yourself to me over the last few weeks and seeing you with my family made me melt. I know that it was meant to be you,” she whispered as I pressed closer to her.

  I eased inside of her slowly and she moaned as she gripped my back, closing her eyes. I hadn’t been with a virgin in some time, but I knew that I had to be gentle until she was over the pain. I moved slowly inside of her, turned on by how wet she was while remembering that I needed to take things slow. I knew the moment that she would hurt and stopped as I watched her face, pained and scared. “Are you okay?” I asked her as she bit her lower lip and opened her eyes to look at me.

  “Yes. This is so intense for me, so I just need a little bit.” I leaned down to kiss her softly as she moved her feet and slipped her hands down to cup my ass. Lucy pulled me in and I moved a little bit as she let out a soft moan. “I want you.”

  I moved, burying myself inside of her. We both breathed in before I pulled back and took her again, still considering her feelings. I was inside of my Lucy and I watched as my cock disappeared within her again. She was as tight as expected: it felt like a soft, warm glove wrapped around me. It felt like home.

  I kept going slow until she rocked against me with a jerk of her hips. I groaned as I bottomed out inside of her and felt her legs wrap around me. I pulled back and started moving harder, making sure that she wanted it this way. Her eyes begged me and her body moved with me, surprising me again with her innocence.

  We fumbled around for a few minutes, but then we found the perfect rhythm. I drove into her, feeling her gripping me as she tightened her legs around me and clawed at my back and hair. I’d never felt like this inside of a woman and my cock swelled at the idea of nothing being between us. I felt a slight twinge of guilt that I didn’t care for Blake like this when Riley was conceived, but I still loved my daughter. I didn’t need to give a shit about her mother as long as I hid that fact from Riley.

  I kept moving with Lucy, knowing that I was close to one of the most intense orgasms I’d ever have. I groaned as I pushed again, feeling it from deep inside as she whimpered against my mouth. I wanted to speak as I kept moving, but I held it in, letting my body have this moment. She came a beat before me, trembling as she wrapped around me. I grunted and stalled before I started moving harder, needing to feel this.

  I came after a few thrusts, filling her with everything that I had. I kissed her to keep from roaring out her name. Lucy stared at me as I pulled away slightly, feeling a little disbelief in the wake of this moment. I’d wanted it for so long and it happened easier than I ever thought it would.

  To me, it didn’t matter that we weren’t married. I still felt something for her that overwhelmed me. Now that I was inside of her, I knew that I wasn’t finished yet. Not with her and not with us.

  We made love again with her on top after she’d recovered for a little while. Lucy moved slowly at first, testing the angles and sensations as I played with her nipples and watched her face. She leaned over me to offer herself to my mouth and rocked forward against my cock. I groaned against her. She dragged her body slowly against me as I bit her, making her cry out. My hands were on her ass as she moved, just needing to touch her.

  I came with her in my mouth and her hands at my sides, filling her again as she moaned my name.

  We relaxed in our spot for a moment, looking up at the sun through the trees. Lucy took a selfie of our faces, messy and smiling but looking complete. We dressed and looked back and forth at the path as I grinned at her. “What do you want to do?”

  “Let’s go see those falls,” Lucy told me as she righted her small backpack and reached out for my hand. We hiked the couple of miles, talking and laughing with ease before she got the pictures that she came for. It was beautiful there, but all I could do was look at Lucy.

  We went to an early dinner once we were done in town and wandered the shops for the perfect trinket to bring home for Riley. I already had mine.

  We spent the night naked in bed, though I did take it easy on her. I showed her how to give me a good blow job – at her request – slowly and lovingly. She was great, and I knew that, with time, she’d be an animal. But for now, I was thrilled with her bobbing over me and my hands in her messy hair.

  Chapter Fifteen – Lucy

  We flew home the day after our first time in the forest. It was a day that I’d never forget for many reasons – the perfect first time. All the frustration in waiting so long and being so scared seemed to fade away as Max held me in his arms. It was hot and intense, but it was with Max. That made it one of the best moments of my life.

  We dozed on the plane as we held hands. I knew that we were going back to New York as different people now, and I leaned back in the comfortable seat, smiling.

  I’d looked at the picture of us so many times that I lost count. It showed my happiness and his gorgeous smile. It looked like he found perfection in me at that moment and I thought that I could show that to the judge.

  Case closed.

  The plane landed as I was eating one of the cookies that they brought us, and I shoved the last piece into my mouth with a moan. “Those are so good,” I told Max as he chuckled at me.

  “I only fly in first class. Don’t worry,” he assured me. I looked at him for a moment before leaning in to kiss him. Our lips molded together in perfect harmony as the wheels bumped to the ground and he held me close. I thought that we weren’t supposed to be doing this, but I didn’t pull away and nobody told me to.

  We went to get Riley and she screamed when she saw us, running from her movie in the den to hug us. Max’s mother was a bit shocked when she found out about us, but I knew that she loved me like a daughter. In the beginning, that bothered me, but now I knew that we had a different connection. I laughed as he spun Riley around the room.

  We took Riley to pizza for dinner and then ice cream before going home. We waved at the neighbors as we walked up, and I noticed all of their approving smiles. These women wanted me to have what they did. Some had lost their husbands, like Mrs. Hastings, but they still had the memories of true love.

  Riley got a bath from Max that night. I went over to check on my apartment, realizing that I hadn’t been there much lately. I didn’t want to be, but we hadn’t discussed living together. I just slept there because I didn’t want to be away from him. Now, that feeling was stronger.

/>   I tidied up and grabbed a backpack of fresh clothes. I went over to ask Max if I could do some laundry after I tucked Riley into bed. He agreed and I read her three books before her eyes closed.

  I walked out to the living room and unloaded the suitcase that Max brought over without even asking me as I glanced at him on the couch. He was watching some sports scores. I smiled as I sorted out the clothes that I would wash at his place and the ones that I’d have to take to the dry cleaner. I was glad that there weren’t a lot of those as I looked at the two dresses that I’d picked up for the wedding weekend at a thrift store.

  I took the ones I could handle into the laundry room by the kitchen and started the load, transferring Max’s clothes to the dryer. I asked if they were all okay with the heat. Max told me to go ahead and that he had separated everything else as I pushed the button to start the dryer. I glanced down at my ring and turned it slowly, thinking about the amazing past few weeks.

  “Is everything okay?” Max asked. I jumped and turned around to look at him.

  “Yeah. I was just daydreaming,” I replied. He stepped forward and pressed his hands against the dryer, locking me into place. He leaned in to kiss me and I pulled him closer as our lips met. Any question of what might happen between us fell away as he slipped his tongue against mine and pressed his body against mine.

  We went to the bedroom in unspoken agreement and made love. It was soft and hard all at once as he maneuvered me on the large mattress and took me in different ways. I was going to learn with him. I dropped back against the pillows and took a deep breath. “You’re staying here every damn night. I can’t get enough of you.” Max said as he looked over at me, making me blush.

  “Fine by me,” I told him as I laughed. “I like your daughter a lot.”

  “Do you?” he demanded as he rolled over me, hovering there before stealing a kiss. My body was pulsing from everything that he’d already done, but I wanted more. We still weren’t using anything, but that was part of the deal, wasn’t it?
