Chapter 13
What in the world had she gotten herself into?
All of the daydreaming and window-watching never could have prepared her to be standing half naked in front of her dream guy.
It was so weird because she didn’t feel the least bit awkward even with no shirt on.
She wanted to giggle at the look of hunger spread across his face, but she didn’t want to ruin the mood.
She unfastened the button on her pants as he watched, slowing edging down the zipper. He had a pained expression.
“Woman you are seriously killing me, was that your intention?”
“Yep, pretty much.”
Maeve hooked her fingers into the belt loops on her capris and wiggled her hips as she pushed the material down her legs. With one foot at a time, she stepped out of the legs.
“You forgot something.”
“Well, what do you know, I sure did.” It was hard not to laugh. “Would you like to help?”
“Heck yeah I would.” Cole wasted no time getting into her personal space. However, he hesitated to dig his fingers into the skinny strip of material. His palms hugged the sides of her hips, squeezing what little meat she had there.
“Holy shit woman, this is killing me. You are so beautiful. It’s so surreal. I’ve had my eye on you for as long as I can remember, it’s just hard to believe that we’re both here now.”
“Wait a minute, what?”
“What, what?”
“You’ve had your eye on me?”
Cole laughed. “Yeah, that’s hard for me to admit too.”
“You’ve really been watching me? Why?”
“Are you kidding Maeve? You’ve had me crazy for months.
And I promise I’m not a stalker, I just love seeing you .
Your smile lights up my day. I’ve seen you walk into your shop every day and even occasionally I could catch glimpses through the window, and it only made me more certain that I had to know you.
The way you smiled at your customers told me you were a kind person but at the same time I was scared to death.
All the guys from the fire station have been provoking me too, telling me crap like they were going to ask you out.
They went to lunch at your place as often as they could. Just about killed me.”
Huh, what a surprise.
“Why didn’t you come to lunch with them?”
“Are you kidding me? They would have chopped me into little pieces right in front of you. It would have been a nightmare. Those guys are ruthless.”
“Well,” she grabbed his face and kissed one cheek, then the other. “Nightmare averted. You took the step yourself and now look where we are.” She gestured with her hands from her shoulders to her hips. “Mostly naked and standing right in front of you.”
“And I sure like what I see.” Cole slid his hands around Maeve and pulled her snug to him, grinding himself against her. He kissed her lips softly until he could feel her body relax.
“Now I’m ready to take off those panties of yours.”
Cole kissed Maeve again and with both index fingers, he hooked the front of her underwear and slowly pulled them down her legs, crouching in front of her as he went.
He held them at her feet as she stepped out and tossed them on the floor.
He kissed spot after spot on one thigh and then the other, edging his way back up.
At her apex, he blew a hot breath and watched her shake.
With his tongue, he traced a path through her folds and up across her mid-section to her breasts.
His hands cupped both, pushing them together against his cheeks.
“I love your breasts, Maeve; they are so full and firm. I could touch them all day.”
“I have to be honest; I’m getting seriously turned on watching you.”
“Oh really? I’ll keep that in mind.”

Maeve continued to surprise Cole at every turn.
Her body was perfect, and he loved every inch of it.
His hands roamed everywhere, and he wanted to be inside of her.
Then she tells me she likes to watch? Holy shit.
She was extremely responsive and as he squeezed each nipple between his fingers, her teeth clenched but she didn’t cry out.
“Do you like that?”
She nodded with a smile, so he pinched a bit harder, and she gasped.
Then he sucked one nipple into his mouth, running his tongue around the hard point to sooth it.
She arched into him. He repeated the same with the other nipple, loving the feel of it between his fingers.
He was hard as a rock, and she hadn’t even touched him yet.
He nudged her backward til her legs touched the bed and he moved up the bed with her as she slid herself toward the center.
“I’m really glad you got the nerve to come to my shop.”
“Yeah?”
“I never would have convinced myself to do it. Not exactly an outgoing person I guess.”
He kissed her bare stomach, his tongue circling her belly button before he headed toward her breasts.
“Now that I know you, you don’t really seem it. You’ve had no problem talking to anybody we’ve seen the last couple days and you’re great with your customers.”
“But you’re different. It’s personal.” Can’t get any more personal, I’m naked.
“I kind of like the personal touch, here and here,” as he kissed a path around each breast.
“Okay, I do like that.” She loved to watch him, but it felt so good, she couldn’t fight the need to close her eyes and lay her head back. She felt an enormous amount of warmth as his body hovered over hers. The sensation gave her goose bumps.
“Must be a chill in the air, you’re getting a bit nippily.”
“I don’t think it’s a chill, my body is sweating. I also think it’s you, or rather your body, touching mine.”
“I can stop if you want.”
“Oh please, don’t.” She propped up on her elbows to look at him.
He moved closer, rubbing his chest to hers, kissing her slightly, but effectively until she gave in and lay back down on the bed.
With her hands digging into the hair on the nape of his neck, she kissed him back, loving the fact they fit so well together.
As if her legs had a mind of their own, they gradually spread apart until his legs shifted between hers, a warm bulge against her thigh.
“Cole I’m ready to try that little square packet now.”
“Don’t’ have to tell me twice.” He propped up on his knees and ripped the pack open, making quick work of sliding on the rubber.
She had no clue how those things really worked because he looked way too big for that little transparent thing.
Much to her surprise however, he made it fit and hovered over her again.
“Are you sure you’re okay with this? Am I going too fast?”
“I was actually just thinking I’d be happy if you’d go a little faster.”
“A woman after my own heart.”
She was feeling confident and wanted to match the intensity she could feel pulsating from his body.
She slid her legs against his, raising them to wrap around his body, pulling him closer to her.
When she didn’t think she could wait any longer, Cole guided himself into her wet center and her breath stopped for several seconds.
“Is that okay?”
“More than okay.”
His hips started a slow rhythmic motion that she felt deep in her core.
He was bigger than anyone she’d ever been with before and it felt amazing and new.
Her fingers had a mind of their own as they floated over Cole’s muscular back down to where his bare cheeks were exposed.
The touch never distracted him, but he sped his pace a bit, creating an urgent burning she hadn’t had in a long while.
Maeve couldn’t help the groan from escaping her lips as the sensations rushed through her body.
“Oh, god Maeve, I’m going to come.”
Quickly, Cole moved a thumb over her sensitive nub, bringing her over the edge with him.
