Chapter 6

Casey knew that the kiss was coming and yet didn’t want to do a thing to stop it. She was honest enough to admit—at least to herself—that this was bound to happen. She had dreamed of a time when she and Ryder would spend hours just kissing and holding one another close. But the kisses of an eighteen-year-old boy were nothing compared to that of a thirty-year-old man. And this thirty-year-old man certainly knew how to kiss.

Ryder was slowly going insane from the feel of Casey in his arms. This was not the way he had envisioned their first kiss, but in the moment, it was all he could think of to do. Her lips had gone soft and pliant under his, and when she had let her hands come to rest on his chest before gliding up and going around him, it had nearly brought him to his knees. He touched his tongue to hers and heard her soft whimper.

For all he knew, the wedding was over and people were milling around them, but he didn’t care. Casey was in his arms where she belonged, kissing him like he had dreamed, and it would take an act of God to make him let her go.

“Ryder,” she sighed when he moved his lips from hers to travel down the silky expanse of her throat. “Wait.”

Okay, maybe not an actual act of God, but a soft plea from her.

Reluctantly, Ryder pulled back and looked at Casey. Her skin was flushed and her eyes were slightly glazed, and she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He waited to see what she wanted to say because he didn’t want to do anything that would make her uncomfortable or ruin the possibility of his getting a second chance with her.

“What are we doing?” she asked breathlessly.

He couldn’t help but smile. “I would have thought it was obvious.”

A small chuckled escaped before she could stop it. “That’s not what I mean.” She looked up into his eyes and saw his every emotion just like she always had. “This is crazy.”

Ryder shook his head. “No,” he said solemnly, “it’s not. It was always like this for us, Case, and it doesn’t matter if it’s been twelve years, twelve hours, or twelve minutes, it’s always going to be like this for us.” He watched as her eyes widened, and he hoped he hadn’t said too much. Unable to help himself, because it was all or nothing, he said exactly what his heart was telling him to. “I want you, Casey. I’ve always wanted you. Seeing you again made me realize everything that’s been missing from my life.”

She took a step back as panic began to build. “No, you don’t really mean that, Ryder. It’s been too long; you don’t even know me anymore.”

He took a step toward her, unwilling to let her get away. “I do know you. I know that right now you’re starting to feel a little bit panicked, wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into.
