Free From This Moment by Alison Chaffin Higson

months ago and he charmed me right off my feet, to begin with.... very quickly we ended up engaged, arranging a wedding.  I didn’t love him.  I guess I loved the attention and the idea of being part of a family again.  Nick has four sisters all with at least a couple of kids each.  They all made me feel welcome.”
     
    I lift my head up to look at Cade and grin at him, “So after the wedding was cancelled, I took a flight to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and fell head over heels in love with the sexiest guy I’ve ever met.   Not only does he have a hot body, but a great personality and an amazing voice; I could listen to him talk all day, and now I’m going to place a hot kiss on his....” and before I can finish, Cade grabs hold of my head and brings me in for one very hot kiss.  I end up wiggling all over him; his erection getting larger by the second against my stomach.
     
    ~~ Cade ~~
     
    Still kissing Rona, I can’t get enough of her.  In less than a week she has become to mean the world to me.  How t C.&nry hhe hell am I going to let her go back to Ireland?
     
    I pull away from the kiss, “Love, I need to tell you something.   I have to leave for Denver in a few hours.  I have a meeting with a client tomorrow morning at eight.”  Rona is so still and silent I think perhaps she has fallen asleep.  “Rona?”
     
    “Sorry.   Just tired.”
     
    “I thought you had nodded off.  I’ll ring when I can tomorrow.... I even thought about taking you with me, but Anna and Beth have no idea about us and I really don’t want them finding out this way.”
     
    “ I don’t like the idea of you being away, but I’ll be okay and maybe catch up with some cleaning and I could do with washing some clothes.”
     
    I feel Rona drift off to sleep.   Holding her close for about thirty minutes, I extract myself from her, grabbing a blanket from the back of the sofa.  I cover her up before heading to my room to shower and pack for my flight.
     

Chapter 7
     
    ~~ Rona ~~
     
    Having had a good night’s sleep, I remember that Cade left for Denver last night, after carrying me upstairs to bed.   Not wanting to get out of bed, I just lie on my side, looking out of the window, trying to get my thoughts in order.
     
    Before leaving Ireland I’d given my notice in at work, packed up my apartment and gave most of my clothes, shoes, jewelry to charity.   The furniture came with the apartment rental, so I didn’t have to deal with that.
     
    After cancelling the wedding I realized I wanted to spend some time back in the States.   My plan was to spend this four weeks in Jackson Hole and then to travel to my home town of Newport.  Now.... well, I don’t really know what to do; the thought of leaving Cade makes me feel ill.  I haven’t told him that I have no job or place to live; I don’t want him to feel he has to offer me a place to stay.
     
    Financially, I never have to work again, but I’m not one for sitting around and doing nothing.
     
    Looking around, I can hear music coming from somewhere, then realizing it’s my phone; I answer it, “Hello.”
     
    “Rona, how are you feeling? You were so exhausted last night, I wasn’t even sure if you’d remember that I left,” he says in a husky voice.
     
    Feeling wicked, “Oh, I remember you leaving.... I remember what it feels like being carried in your arms.... I remember what you smell like, and most of all.... I rem F.&nryaviember what you taste like.”  I end on a smile –  I knew what I was doing to him.
     
    After what sounded like a groan, “You do realize, I’m now sitting in the conference room with the client due any minute, where I have to stand to greet him with a rather large erection.”
     
    Laughing now, “Sorry, but I couldn’t resist.... are you okay?  Did you sleep well?”
     
    “I slept crap, because you weren’t nearby.”  After a pause, “I have this fantasy of you naked spread out on the conference table in front of me
