“Knox,” I whimper when I feel another orgasm building. How can I be about to come again? He growls against my clit before sucking it into his mouth. His tongue flicks back and forth. The orgasm pushes down on me, but he lifts his mouth suddenly, stopping it in its tracks. “Knox!”
“I’ve got you, Red.” He slips up my body, taking my mouth in a possessive kiss. I moan, tasting myself on him.
His cock goes right to my opening, the head slipping in. I gasp into his mouth. My sex clenches around his cock, wanting more. His hand slips between us. His fingers go to my clit as he takes shallow thrusts in and out of me. The orgasm comes rushing back to the surface.
“You’re so damn tight. Saved it all for me, didn’t you? You always knew it belonged to me. That I was meant for you.” His jaw clenches. I know he’s fighting not to come already. His fingers work faster. I’m going to come.
“Oh God.” I lift my hips, trying to get more of him inside me.
“It’s Knox, babe. You say my name when I’m inside you,” he orders.
“Knox!” I cry out as I come. This one is so much different than the others. He thrusts all the way inside. My hands fly to his shoulders, my nails digging into him. A low groan rumbles through him. Warmth spills deep inside of me. I’m pretty sure he came, but somehow he’s still hard. I close my eyes. My body has no idea how to handle everything I’m feeling.
Knox starts to press kisses softly all over my face before ending on my mouth. I part my lips, letting his tongue slip in. “So damn perfect,” he says between kisses. “The wait was worth every damn second. Even though it was torture. I’d wait my whole life.”
The sweet words that come from him have me questioning if the few tears that escape me are from the pain. I start to kiss him back. Soon my hips try to move, but I’m pinned under him.
I’m pinned under Knox Lovejoy in the center of his bed. No other woman has had this. At this moment, he’s all mine. A whimper of need comes from me.
He slowly pulls out. My eyes fly open when he thrusts all the way back inside me. He freezes. “No! Don’t stop, please. I need you.”
“You beg pretty, but you never need to beg me. Not for this.” He pulls out and thrusts in again.
“Yes!”
He begins to move faster. I lift my hips, trying to match his pace, loving the way our bodies fit perfectly together. I never even imagined sex would be like this.
“Damn, fuck, I’m going to come again,” he grits out.
“Come inside me,” I encourage. I want to feel it again.
“Not without you.” His hand slips between us. His fingers go to my clit. “Need you with me. Are you with me, Red?”
“Yes, I’m with you.” I never want to be anywhere else.
“Forever,” he growls.
“Forever!” I cry out as Knox pulls another orgasm from me. It explodes through me unlike any of the others. This time I’m connected to him in the most intimate of ways. All my walls have come down. Warmth fills my whole body, and I know it's love.
I’m hopelessly in love with Knox. I think … I think maybe I always have been.
I thought I came home yesterday, but as I lie under Knox after him making love to me, I realize this is actually my home.

KNOX
“You want me to buy out the whole store?” Olin asks.
I can feel him frowning on the other end of the line. “She loves the pumpkin marshmallow scents, so get all the candles they have like that.”
“This place is full of middle-aged women who treat this store like it’s a blood sport, and you want me to take all of a certain scent of candle?”
I can’t help but smile. “Yes.”
“Boss—” He grunts. “Hey, lady! Watch it! I’m shopping here.”
I hear an irate woman in the background.
“Oh, shit. I gotta go.” Olin hangs up, and I can only imagine him getting beaten with an umbrella by a soccer mom.
“What’s going on?” Ruby leans on the bakery counter.
I pull her to me and steal a kiss. Several, in fact. She’s been in town for just a week, but it’s been the best week of my life. With her here, I get the feeling I’m going to have a lot of those.
“We’ve got more orders, you little front desk floozy,” Lorraine calls from the back.
Ruby pulls away and rolls her eyes. “She loves you. You know that, right?”
“Yes.” I kiss her again as my phone buzzes in my pocket. I ignore it. “And I love this little ‘front desk floozy.’” I reach down and grab her ass, kneading it as she moans into my mouth.
