His eyes opened wide. Now? I didn t even speak with your daddy yet.
Frustrated, Lia sighed. He was right of course. She d invited Jimmy here for a reason. Them sneaking
out before meeting her father so she could jump him made no sense. Okay. We ll go talk to my father.
Then you re taking me to your place.
He laughed. I m warning you, darlin . It s base housing. It s no mansion.
I don t care, as long as you re in it.
He touched her face lightly, his eyes looking suspiciously misty as well. Then let s go find your
daddy.

Jimmy
Lia dreaded this meeting with every fiber of her being, but with Jimmy next to her and the promise
that they could leave and be alone together as soon as it was over, she faced it bravely.
Her father s eyebrows couldn t have risen any higher into his receding hairline when she introduced
them.
Fortunately, he didn t have a chance to comment since Senator Dickson walked up at the same
moment. Governor. Lia. And whom might this be?
Lia smiled sweetly, enjoying this probably a bit too much. Senator, I d like to introduce you to my
date. Actually, my boyfriend, James Gordon. You may remember him from Gordon Equine this afternoon.
The senator s mouth dropped open just as his son joined them. With a soaring heart, Lia repeated the
introduction to John Dickson III and watched his face react in kind. Taking control of her life and her
future had been far easier and much more satisfying than she d ever imagined.
When they arrived at Jimmy s apartment shortly after, Lia felt like they were two kids who d just
snuck out of the prom to fool around.
I still can t get out of my head the expression on the senator s face when you introduced me as your
boyfriend. He grabbed her and gave her butt a squeeze. You enjoyed telling him that. Didn t you?
Yes. So? She scowled. He deserved it after he called me naïve today in front of all those men at
your farm. And you should talk about enjoying things. You nearly crushed John s hand when you shook it.
Tell me you didn t love doing that.
Can I help it if I don t know my own strength? Jimmy shrugged. And in my own defense, he was
trying and failing to crush mine first.
She laughed and started to unbutton his jacket. Why don t you show me how strong you are right
now?
Gladly, darlin . He groaned, deep and low in his throat and then scooped her up into his arms.
Jimmy carried her to the bedroom and laid her gently on the bed. Under the moonlight streaming through
the window, they undressed each other. Once they were naked on top of the covers he pulled her close and
held her tight. She fit perfectly. Being in his arms again felt like coming home.
Tempted to rush things by the overwhelming need about to explode inside her, she reached for and
grasped the hard length of him. His hand grabbed hers. He raised it above her head and held it there as he
took his time exploring her face and throat with his mouth. Admittedly, she enjoyed every sensation as he
kissed her thoroughly, but she needed so much more.
I want you now. She wrapped one leg around his hip and pressed closer.
Jimmy nipped gently at her earlobe. His warm breath against her skin sent a tingle straight through
her. You ll get what you want, when I want.
You are an extremely frustrating man, James Gordon.
He covered her pout with his lips, soothing her bad mood with the thrust of his tongue.

Angling her body, she managed to press just the tip of him against her entrance. She felt him laugh
against her mouth as he kissed her, even as he pulled his pelvis away far enough to break contact.
Finally, he raised his mouth from hers. I couldn t get you off my mind, not for even a day, the whole
time we were apart all those months.
His confession brought fresh tears to her eyes. She tried to joke them away. Neither could I, and
believe me I tried. It really pissed me off.
He released his hold on her hand and stroked her face. You don t have to try anymore because I m
right here.
Yes, you are, and do you think you could make love to me now? I ve waited a very long time for
you, James Gordon, and I don t usually have to wait for anything.
He smiled. I bet you don t. I guess I could see clear to giving in to your request, since you asked so
nicely and all.
After quickly donning a condom he got from the bedside table drawer, Jimmy kept his eyes open and
gazed into hers when he slid inside her. They d already had a night of wild, passion-filled sex six months
before. She could honestly say this time felt even more wonderful. They moved together as one, slowly,
tenderly. It was so different than their first time together. That had been sex, this was definitely making
love. Lia hadn t truly known the difference before. She did now.
Her body tightened around him. Jimmy drew in a sharp breath in response and pressed tighter against
her. She clung to him as she felt the climax coil within until it snapped, sending spasms of pleasure through
every part of her body.
Ah, yes. Jimmy s breath and pace quickened as he came right after her. He shuddered with the last
of his orgasm and with his face pressed against the pillow next to her head, he blurted, I love you.
Her eyes flew open. She couldn t help the reaction. His unexpected postcoital confession had come as
a total shock. He looked as surprised that he d said it as she was hearing it. He groaned and tried to roll
away. I m sorry. That was way too soon. Forget I said it. I take it back.
Tightening her arms like a vise around him, Lia prevented him from moving off her.
Yes, it is too soon, but don t you dare take it back. She smiled and squeezed his rib cage hard until
he let out a pain-filled wheeze.
