Letting Go of You (Anchored Hearts #2) Read Online Free PDF Page A

seeing and hearing no one.  Damn the wet knees .  I dropped down and circled his sweet and salty tip with my tongue.  His hand immediately fisted in my hair and I took him into my mouth.
    Fisting his base, my other hand ran up and down his thigh before circling around to the back of his leg.  His thighs were clenched so tight that I was convinced he’ d get a cramp as I noticed his feet were digging into the ground.  I sucked him in as far as I could and heard him groan out my name.  I was vaguely aware of my knees turning cold, but nothing was going to stop me from getting him off.  Sucking and twirling my tongue with more vigor, he was soon bursting down my throat as his other hand fisted my hair as well.  When he started to relax I stood up and took in my soaked knees and hoped no one would notice. 
    I watched as he tucked himself back in his pants and I buttoned my own.  He pulled me tight against him and I was aware of the fence creaking right before James fell backward, almost taking me with him.  He landed on his back and I burst into laughs.
    “ Oh my God, James, are you okay?”  I watched as he got to his feet and brushed off some snow.
    “Fan-fucking- tastic.  Nothing like almost having a heart attack to ruin a good high.”
    He was climbing over the rail, which had fallen out of its post, and shaking out his coat that was now covered in twigs and snow.  Once he replaced the rail I proceeded to pull some of the twigs from his hair before he put his coat back on.  He was straightening my hair when we both started cracking up. 
    “We need to find a tree before Cal and Jane form a search party.”
    “Agreed.”  He kissed my nose and swatted my ass before pulling me back toward the trees.  
    James was dragging our tree behind him as we made our way to the front of the lot.  Jane and Cal were there and James joined Cal at the register.  It was then I spotted another twig tangled in James’ hair.  Jane must have seen it too because she scanned her eyes over my body and stopped when she got to my soaked knees.  If I was wearing darker jeans it might not have been so noticeable.  I was humiliated when I realized that she knew that I knew she knew.  She started chuckling uncontrollably.
    “What’s so funny?”  Cal didn’t seem to notice what Jane had as he glanced back to us.
    Jane winked at me as she said, “Nothing, nothing at all.”

    We were sitting at dinner when Cal let it slip that Jane had moved in with him.  Initially I was shocked, since they’d only been together for a little over a month, but ultimately I was very happy for them. 
    “What?”  I looked to James, who seemed surprised as well, and then back to Cal and Jane.  He was beaming and she seemed a little embarrassed.
    Cal put up his hands saying, “I know, I know.  But the heart wants what the heart wants.”  He wrapped his arms around Jane’s shoulders, crushing her small body against his.  It was endearing as she started laughing.
    Then part of me became envious.  I hadn’t realized how serious my brother was about Jane.  He’d never taken this step with anyone else.  We had enjoyed the rest of our meal and had a great time like we usually did.  I loved how well the four of us got along.  Once we were finished, we all walked outside to say our goodbyes.  Jane seemed startled by something across the street, but had told James it was nothing.
    Later that night, as he and I lay in bed at my place, we were discussing some of our favorite Christmas memories.  He was nuzzling my belly when I whispered, “You have a key, you should just move in.”  He became very still and didn’t say anything.  Shit.  “James?”  He went back to kissing my torso and I sat up and pulled away from him.  He was trying to distract me, which wasn’t difficult to do.
    “Cassidy, we’re not ready for that.”
    “What do you mean?  You have a key and we spend almost every night together, most
