From This Moment

Climbing out of his arms, I can’t help but feel his erection behind his zipper. Wanting to tease, I cover his bulge with my hand, and caress back and forth a few times.

Cade moans, and removes my hand. “Behave.”

“Only until tonight, because I’m going to seduce you,” I threaten.

“What happened to the ‘no sex’ until vacation?”

“Our vacation starts tonight when I put my red dress on.”

“Hell, woman.”

“I think we need some lunch. I’ll make a salad, so Jake and Elise don’t have anything to really do when they come up for air.”

“That would be good. Do you want some help?”

“No, I’m good.”

“Yes, you are.”

I laugh and decide I might be better ignoring Cade for a short time. Retrieving the salad vegetables out of the refrigerator, I start chopping. Within ten minutes, I have a rather large salad mixed. I retrieve some chicken and Caesar dressing, and lunch is made.

I text Jake to let him know lunch is ready and in the refrigerator.

I finally look at Cade. “Are you okay now?”

With a small grin, he replies, “For now I am. Let’s go eat this delicious salad you’ve made then I think you need to pack. We’ll need to make sure all our things are together and ready for later.”

I grin at him. “When are you going to tell me?” I’m desperate to know where we’re going.

“I’ll tell you af

ter lunch, but I’ll tell you now that we need to be ready to leave around eleven tonight for our flight to Denver.”

“Oh, I can’t wait. Can we walk around naked and make out anywhere without being walked in on?”

“I wish you would stop talking about being naked, and inside the accommodation, we can wear whatever we want, including our birthday suits. I’m also pretty sure we’ll be able to find somewhere outside to make out in private too,” he finishes, laughing when he sees the excitement on my face.

“So there are lots of possibilities then?”

Groaning, he leans toward me. “Eat, your mouth needs filling.” He sees me about to retort. “Don’t say a word.”

Sitting down at the table, we start to eat in silence. In fact, I’m partly afraid to open my mouth in case he drags me over the table and has his wicked way with me. Not that I’d complain, but the thought of Jake and Elise walking in on us kind of puts a hold to those thoughts.

Silently finishing my meal, I drain my glass of orange juice and make my way to the dishwasher. Cade joins me, and with a quick kiss to my neck he adds his own dishes. This is one of the things I love about being in Cade’s presence. We don’t feel the need to fill the silence with useless chatter because we’re comfortable around each other.

“Well, that didn’t take long.” Cade slides his fingers between mine, and tugs me into his arms.

I wrap myself around him and rest my head against his chest with a sigh of happiness leaving my lips.

“I love being in your arms.”

“They were made for you.”

I reach up to kiss him, but pause when the doorbell chimes.

“I think it may be Anna and Beth. They said they’d come over in the afternoon to see us.”

“Okay.”
