Natalie

I have a moment of vivid clarity when all my memories collide in a collage, showing a big picture I never let myself see before. The way Cole’s gaze sometimes lingered on me as if he wanted to say something but never did. Our long, deep talks late at night after Evan fell asleep. All the tales about the women he was dating, yet being unable to find The One.

After Evan died, things changed. Cole changed. He matured overnight. He was always at my side, through the funeral and beyond. But even while still physically taking care of me, he put emotional distance between us.

I see everything through a different lens now. And he’s looking at me with so much raw vulnerability, it both terrifies and thrills me.

“Cole—”

He presses his fingers to my lips and shakes his head. “You either want me or you don’t. Everything else can be worked out with time. I’m a big boy, Nat, I’ll deal with either.”

His gaze lowers to my mouth as he slides his thumb across my bottom lip. I can’t fathom how it can all be worked out, but I can’t think about anything but the insane desire pulsing through my body.

“You know it’s not that simple.”

His dark eyes dart back to mine. “One thing at a time. Do you want me or not?”

I let the air flow from my lungs. I’m exhausted from the stress, lonely without my mom, overwhelmed by the insecurity of the situation. “It’s all just so much. I can’t sort out this thing between us. I don’t understand it. I don’t know what’s happening. And I don’t—”

He leans in and kisses me. There’s no mistaking the passion between us. Our mouths mesh and taste, the kiss filled with so much need, so much demand, I’m suddenly wet.

He’s so real. He’s right here, warm, strong, sexy, wanting me. Fighting for me, even. I should push away, but to be honest, I’m not that strong. My passion is joined by the need for abandon and escape, along with the craving to be loved.

He pulls out of the kiss with a breathless “Tell me you want me.”

I can’t form the words before his lips are on my jaw, my neck, his teeth and stubble electrifying my skin.

“Tell me you want me.” His words vibrate against my throat.

I sink my hands into his hair. “You know this can’t be real.”

His head comes back. He pushes me off his lap only to pull me back, this time straddling him. He slides his hands under my skirt, up my thighs, grips my hips, and pulls me against his erection.

Pleasure rockets between my legs, and I moan.

“Tell me,” he murmurs at my ear before nipping the sensitive skin.

But now I can’t catch my breath. My brain is hazy. This is way more than the beer. I want to feel his hands, his mouth all over me. Want to feel the weight of his body pushing me into the mattress. Feel the force of him inside me.
