.“Why would I change my mind?”“Sweetheart, you’ve never been with anyone else.How do you know for sure this is it for you?”“I don’t? Do you?”He stared at her for a moment, feeling a little disappointed.Secretly he’d hoped she’d say shewas, but her throwing it back in his face made him think.Was he?“I don’t know.All I know is if this happens—if we do this—I won’t be able to handle it if youdo.”She brought her hand up to his face and caressed it.For the first time since she’d become so upset,she smiled.“I think that’s the chance everyone takes when they give into their hearts.I don’t think I’d be able to handle it either if you changed your mind.” She glanced away, giving way to that timidsmile he knew he was in love with now.“I think we just got a little taste of how I’d handle it if you did.” She kissed him softly, and he kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her waist.“I’d still bewilling to chance it if you are.”Squeezing her even tighter, he buried his face in her neck, breathing her in.He loved the way shesmelled, loved the way her small frame fit so perfectly against his body.“I can promise you one thing,” she whispered in his ear as she ran her hands through his hair.Shehad his attention, and he pulled away to look at her.He sensed a little hesitation before she spokeagain, and there was a hint of insecurity in her eyes.“Unless I’m way off, and I have been in the past, unless you are this talented of an actor and the sincerity I’m feeling when you speak of your feelingsfor me—this trust that you’ve talked about taking so seriously isn’t all real—then I promise you thatcan’t imagine anything making me change my mind about you.”Seeing the insecurity in her eyes gave him a little hope that he wasn’t alone in just how damnscared this made him.His brother may be older and wiser, but when it came to love, he was just asinexperienced as Hector.This wasn’t something you just decided you were going to do.It wassomething that happened, and there was nothing in your power to stop it.“I love you,” he whispered, and she smiled, her big blue eyes immediately flooding with tears.“This is crazy, but I love you too.”His heart pounded away with fear, excitement, and now exhilaration of knowing she was in lovewith him too.Picking her up like he had yesterday, he kissed her deeply.With both her arms and legswrapped around him now, he started toward the sofa, but she pulled away and pointed.“My bedroom is that way.”God help him.This was really going to happen.Screw the fear.Hurrying toward her bedroom, hekissed her madly.He’d deal with his fears later.There was no choice now.Either he learned tohandle what Abel thought and what Hector had begun to believe that he couldn’t handle, or he walkedaway, and he wouldn’t even consider that now.Laying her down gently on the bed, he scooted onto it with her.Their lips never once parted evenas he lifted his body over hers.Continuing to kiss her, he stopped every now and then to stare at herlips.He loved how red and swollen they were.The fact that he was responsible for how damn sexythey looked now drove him nuts.Bringing her arms up above her head like he’d pinned her down earlier in the front room, he lacedhis fingers through hers, staring into her eyes.He leaned in and slowly began to kiss her freckles like he’d imagined doing when he first noticed them.He started on her forehead, kissing each frecklesoftly, and then he worked his way down her temple.Rubbing himself against her leg, he wanted her to feel just how aroused doing just this made him.She squirmed in reaction to feeling him, and he began to sway his body very slowly against her likehe’d begun to earlier but had stopped.Only now, he didn’t stop, and she swayed with him, spreadingher legs a bit.Knowing if he adjusted himself just slightly he could be rubbing up against the veryspot that would drive them both crazy, he didn’t.He wanted to—needed to—take this as slowly aspossible.This may be the first time for her ever, but it was a first for him as well, and he wanted to savor every moment.Savoring it drowned out the enormous fear he’d begun to feel earlier aboutmaking love for the very first time, putting his heart out there as he never had before.Working his way down the warm soft flesh of her face, he reminded himself, as he mentally wasalready beginning to claim each and every one of her beautiful freckles as his, that he could handlethis.He kissed the freckles on her nose just under her eyes and around her delicate cheek bone, andthen he worked his way down her jaw but couldn’t help going back to bury his tongue in her redswollen mouth again.She kissed him back urgently, lifting her legs around his so his thigh rested nowon the heat between her legs.Imagining burying himself in another red swollen part of her body hadhim squeezing his eyes shut now.He had to hold it together, or this might get embarrassing.He began to ease her sweater up, and she sat up, helping him with it.She pulled it over her headand disposed of it quickly over the side of the bed.Awestruck, he stared at the milky white skin onher shoulders, chest, and flat stomach.There were so many more freckles for him to claim sprinkledall across her torso.Starting just under her chin, he began kissing his way down.He kissed and sucked softly, down tothe very edge of each shoulder.Pulling the straps of her bra down her shoulders, he brought it downuntil both of her beautifully pale breasts were completely exposed.Hector stared at them.They didn’tget any more perfect than this—perfectly full, pure, untouched, and his mind once again went there— all his.With his breathing accelerating, he focused on the coat of freckles sprinkled all over them.Thecoat was heavier around her cleavage and the only hint of color on her otherwise powdery white skin,aside from the very pale pink nipples that almost blended with the skin around them.He quicklylatched onto one with his mouth, sucking softly then biting down gently.Hearing her soft panting andbreathing grow even more frantic only made him suck harder.Trying desperately to keep moving slowly was a challenge, especially now that her body trembleduncontrollably with every suck of her sweet nipples.He stopped for a second to pull off his shirt,needing to feel her flesh against his.She took that moment to undo her bra completely and took it off.Now she was completely naked from the waist up.He stared down, gulping hard.It took everything inhim not to reach down and rip her pants off her.He wanted nothing more than to drive into her now—claim her.But why did the very thought still scare him so much?Easing himself back down, his heart galloped away furiously.“The heart is forever inexperienced,” Charlee whispered, and Hector froze, staring at her
