Chapter 21

Cooper

Completely surprised by her assault, I’m frozen in place. It takes just a second for my brain to register that Riley is kissing me, and I finally kiss her back. I devour her mouth with slow and steady strokes of my tongue against hers.

Switching our positions so that her back is now up against the barn, our kiss quickly goes from soft to feverish, with lips clashing and teeth clanging. There is nothing sweet about this kiss, as if we’re trying to make up for all the years our lips were apart. I can’t get close enough to this girl.

I hoist her up by the back of her thighs, and she instinctively wraps her legs around my waist. Fuck, I’ve missed this—missed us. It was one thing having her in my arms on the dance floor, but to have her this close in an intimate position, with my dick pulsing against her core, feeling the heat coming off her body—if we keep this up, I may just come on the spot.

She runs her fingers through the ends of my hair, which I’ve let grow out just a little longer than usual since being home. When she tugs on the strands, I exert a loud groan into her mouth. In return, I bring my erection to her, and she breaks the kiss, her head falling back against the side of the barn, giving me open access to her neck. Starting at her collarbone, I bite and suck my way back up to her ear. With each nibble, I lick away the sting.

I need to feel her, to be inside her. I don’t even care that we’re in the shadows and that anyone could catch us.

With my body still pressed against her, I trail my hand slowly up her thigh from under her ass. I’m halfway up her thigh when I feel a raised, tight bump on her skin. What is that? Is that a scar? It’s too high to have been from the accident. My fingers continue exploring the skin, discovering matching narrow lines. I know every freckle, every mark, every inch of her skin from when we were younger, and those definitely weren’t there then. What the hell happened to you while I was gone, baby? What am I missing?

Riley freezes in my arms. Her hands drop to my chest and push me away. “Stop! We can’t do this. I can’t do this.”

I let her back on her feet. What just happened? I reach for her hand, but she slowly puts distance between us. “Riley, talk to me.” My fingers graze hers, and I hold tight. Her gaze meets mine, and the sadness in her eyes rips the very breath from my lungs.

“I’m sorry, Coop. This was a mistake,” she says just above a whisper before turning away from me and running off back into the barn.

Sorry? What is she sorry for? What the hell just happened?

Is this what Austin meant when he said she’s too fragile? That she’s not strong enough? Did I damage her beyond repair?

No, that can’t be it.
