The pounding on her front door was definitely not one of her sisters.

Olivia knew who it was. And he had a key. So he was trying to make a point.

She wrapped her robe around her more tightly as she went to the door.

She’d known he would show up. She’d figured it would be tonight. So she’d called in sick so she could use the day to prepare.

She was as ready as she was going to get.

With a deep breath, she pulled the door open.

“Evenin’, sunshine.” His lighthearted greeting was in direct contrast to the way he’d been banging on her door. And the way he was scowling at her.

“Hi, Cody.”

He held up a plastic grocery sack. “It’s baking night.”

So it was. It was Wednesday. They always baked on Wednesday.

“I, um…was about to…”

His gaze raked over her and his eyes reflected a strange combination of heat, anger and determination. “About to take a bath?” He met her eyes again. “Little sore maybe? You got quite a workout last night.”

So that was how the whole topic was going to come up. She had been half expecting him to swing her up into his arms and carry her to the bedroom.

She raised her chin. “Maybe a little.”

Anger flashed in his eyes and he stepped forward, crowding her and forcing her to step back. “A virgin? Really, Liv? That might have been something you could have mentioned.”

Surprise shot through her. “Who have you been talking to?” But then she knew. “Emma.” It had to be Emma.

“I should have been talking to you about it, dammit,” he said, dropping the bag of baking items on the floor and kicking the door shut. “For fuck’s sake, Liv. I could have hurt you last night.” His gaze flickered over her robe. “I did hurt you.”

“I’m fine,” she insisted. “I was only a technical virgin and it didn’t matter.”

“How the hell can that not matter?” he demanded. “That’s…a big deal. A huge deal.”

She crossed her arms. “And if I’d told you, would you have gone ahead with it? No. And I wanted it, Cody. I wanted you.”

His expression softened and he lifted a hand to her cheek. “I don’t think I could have stopped. But I could have…made it…better.”

She felt a lump in her throat and swallowed hard. “It was great. It was you. That’s all it needed to be.”

He gave her a half smile. “Well, thanks for that but—” He stooped and swung her up into his arms. “That’s bullshit, babe.”

He started for the bedroom.

She wanted to squeal with happiness. He had swept her up and carried her to the bedroom.

But… Hey. She frowned.

“What’s bullshit? Our lovemaking is bullshit?” she asked her voice rising on the last word.

“It’s bullshit that you think that’s the best I can do. Trust me—you’re about to have the time of your life.” He tossed her onto the bed and pulled his T-shirt over his head, tossing it to the side.

Olivia felt her stomach flip at the look of hot, cocky promise on his face.
