A
    surge of salty fluid came out, and she wondered if he was done already. But it didn’t
    seem like it was enough, and his hand still urged her on, so she kept sucking. She’d
    never tried anything like this with Ryan, and frankly had never wanted to. But sucking
    Wade felt right.
    His hands grew more urgent, and his penis got harder the longer she sucked. Then
    Catherine had a brilliant idea. Wade wanted to come, she knew enough about men to
    understand that. And she wanted him to make love to her. Maybe all he needed was the
    proper motivation.
    Pulling free of his hands, she released him with a pop and sat up next to him. His
    eyes flew open and he groaned, his penis standing so straight and hard it could have
    been a fence post.

    “I think I’m done,” she said lightly, looking out over the pond. “That was fun, but I
    don’t want to take advantage of you. You made it very clear that you wouldn’t have sex
    with me unless we’re married, and I don’t want to cross that line.”
    Wade’s moan of frustration was everything she’d hoped it would be, and she
    couldn’t keep the smile off her face as he lunged toward her. He tackled her, flinging
    her back onto the grass and pushing her hands up above her head. He held them there,
    looming over her, his face dark with frustration. For a moment she felt fear, but then her
    mind registered that this was Wade, not Ryan, and she didn’t need to be afraid.
    At least, that’s what her head told her. Catherine’s body had other ideas. Her heart
    thundered in her chest, her entire being poised to fight or run.
    “You little tease,” he ground out, eyes flashing at her. “I’ll bet you have no idea
    how dangerous it is to do that to a man. That’s a good way to get yourself raped.”
    She licked her lips, took a deep breath and smiled at him. Time to be bold, not
    chicken.
    “It’s not rape if the woman is willing, Wade,” she said. He groaned and fell on her,
    kissing her wildly, pushing a knee between her legs and thrusting his raging penis
    against her. She lost all sense of time and reality, everything in her body focused on his
    touch, so that she hardly noticed when his hands let go of hers. He reached down to her
    skirt, pulling the heavy fabric of her dress and petticoats up. Then his fingers reached
    between her legs, sliding into her pantalets and plunging into the moist opening hidden
    there.
    “Dear heavens,” she moaned, eyes closing as his clever fingers found the spot she’d
    only ever explored in the darkness of her room at night. Wicked, wicked man… He
    flicked it, running his fingers against it over and over until all the blood in her body
    seemed to rush down toward him and her head felt light.
    Wade pulled away and she whimpered in protest, but he only scooted down the
    blanket, dropping his head down to that spot he’d touched earlier. His tongue was like
    hot, white fire against her nubbin, wiggling and fluttering until her heart pounded in

    her ears. She felt a terrible tension growing stronger and stronger deep inside, and
    every breath caught in her throat. Catherine strained up toward Wade, needing
    something from him that was just out of reach. He seemed to sense her distress, giving
    a low, mocking chuckle against her flesh that vibrated through her skin all the way
    down to the nerves.
    She shuddered, moaning and gasping, and then he pulled away from her.
    “What do you want, Catherine?”
    She had trouble understanding him at first, her need overwhelming everything else.
    But then he asked again, and she heard the gloating triumph in his voice.
    “I need you to keep touching me,” she whispered. “Dammit, Wade, I need you to
    finish it.”
    He shook his head, making little “tsk-tsk” noises, then raised himself to his feet and
    turned away from her, straightening his pants.
    “Do you want to marry me, Cat?” he asked, the question tossed over his shoulder.
    “I’m
