Chapter 27 #2
My hesitance from before is replaced with giddy excitement as Hunter tells me about the different breeds available, explaining how some get bigger than others and some lay green eggs and some lay brown.
“I want some that lay green eggs.”
He points to one of the far containers. “Then you want these. Let’s go get all the stuff we need for their brooder, and we’ll grab the chicks last, before we leave. They need to stay warm, so we don’t want to get them until we’re ready to head home.”
I nod. “Okay.”
Hunter grabs one of the big flat carts, and we go through the store together, loading it down with big bags of feed. And then when he’s done with that, he fills a giant tub with food and water buckets, bedding, a heat lamp, and a thermometer.
“To make sure the temp stays good,” he says, showing it to me before he puts it in the tub with everything else.
My stomach is flipping, and I want to kiss him so badly I almost can’t stand it, but I figure I better wait. At least until we get outside.
“Where are we going to put them?” I ask while we’re waiting on an employee to come get them for us.
“They’ll go in the barn we had Lila in. And then when they’re big enough, we’ll integrate them with the rest of the flock.”
I bite my lower lip. “Are the bigger chickens going to be mean to them?”
“Maybe,” Hunter says. “But that’s what they do. They’ll figure out their new pecking order, and it’ll be all good.”
I’m so excited that I feel like I might explode. Over some chickens. Ridiculous.
After we buy our chickens and get back to the truck, I’m grinning from ear to ear. It feels strange on my face. Like it belongs to someone else and not to me. And the second I climb into the cab, carefully placing my new babies in the passenger seat, I turn to Hunter and slam my mouth onto his.
He startles. He seems to always do that when I kiss him like this. But it doesn’t last long before he’s threading his fingers into my hair and pulling me closer.
I groan against his mouth, trying to get closer, damn near crawling into his lap as he fumbles under the seat and forces it backward. Taking the opportunity for what it is, I straddle him, wedging my leg between his and the door.
“Thank you,” I whisper against his lips before kissing him again. Deeper. I slide my tongue into his mouth, my cock swelling at the breathy gasp that leaves his throat.
His warm hands grip my hips, and he rolls his against me, groaning against my lips as I moan into his mouth.
I knock his hat off so I can tangle my fingers in his hair as I grind against him. I feel so fucking good today, and I just want to take advantage of that. I want to make him feel as good as I feel.
“Fuck, gorgeous. Stop. Hang on,” Hunter pants against my lips, and I pause, heart hammering in my throat.
“Did I do something wrong?”
He shakes his head, eyes roaming my face, and his thumbs gently caressing my cheekbones. “Not even close. You’re just always trying to make me blow my load in front of unsuspecting animals.”
A loud laugh bursts from my chest, and Hunter’s smile almost overtakes his face. “Goddamn, that’s such a beautiful sound.”
He presses a kiss to my mouth and then another and another.
I think he means for it to be slow and sweet. It doesn’t stay that way for long, and within a few minutes, I’m pawing at his shirt, and we’re both moaning as we writhe against each other.
“Okay,” he gasps. “Fuck, gorgeous—” His words are cut off as he drags me closer, tightening his grip on me and rolling his hips up. “God. Wait.”
He doesn’t wait. He kisses me harder, nipping at my lips as his chest heaves against mine.
When he finally pulls away, I’m shaking. Not bad shaking. More like I’m shaking because this is the best thing I’ve ever felt, and I don’t want it to end.
Pressing his forehead to mine, Hunter inhales deeply, like he’s trying to calm himself down. “Okay. Here’s what we’re gonna do.” Fuck, his accent is so deep right now. It’s so sexy that I’m gonna lose my mind. That’s what I’m gonna do. “We’re gonna head home. Then we’re gonna set these babies up.”
“Okay,” I say, sitting up in his lap so I can look at him. His cheeks are flushed, and his eyes are half-lidded, and a new bolt of lust shoots through me. It should be a crime for one man to look that attractive.
“And then we’re gonna finish this. In bed.”
I roll my eyes. “Always in bed. Where’s your sense of adventure?”
He laughs. “Okay. We’re gonna go home, set these babies up, and then I’m gonna get on my knees in the dirt in the barn and swallow your cock. How’s that?”
The whimper that explodes from me is embarrassing, to say the least. But not as embarrassing as the way my cock throbs at his words. I nod frantically. “Okay. Yes.”
He grins. “Gotta get outta my lap first, sweetheart. Can’t drive like this.”
I scramble out of his lap to the sound of his laughter, adjusting my aching cock in my jeans before buckling my seatbelt.
“Well, go on then,” I say, gesturing toward the road. “It’s a long drive back home.”
Hunter grins. “It’s barely twenty minutes.”
It’s gonna be the longest twenty minutes of my life.
