Chapter 41

FORTY-ONE

PRESENT

We pulled into the small cabin we’d be staying in for the weekend. We were so busy talking when we arrived that we didn’t fully admire the quaint small town or the beautiful scenery. Once I stumbled upon the lake, it became a second home to me. A place I could sit and think.

The guest en-suite was located behind the main cabin. The location was so quiet and secluded. “I bet the stars out here look insane,” I commented as I exited the truck to gather our bags.

“This place looks cute. I can’t wait to peek inside.

” I opened the front door for Serenity, following closely behind.

The room had a king-size bed, covered with a textured duvet and various colored pillows.

Next to the bed was a single end table with a small lamp and a house plant.

Further in the back of the en-suite was a kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and hot water kettle.

On one side of the kitchenette was the full bathroom, complete with a jacuzzi tub.

“This place is quite quaint. Not a lot of places to hide if you get tired of me. You think you can manage?” I plopped myself on the bed, hoping it wouldn’t be too hard. Apparently, once you turn thirty-three, the firmness of your mattress can make or break your back—literally.

“I think I’ll be okay.” She plopped alongside me. “How do you like the mattress, old man?” She turned away from me with a giggle.

“I’m only three years older than you; it hardly constitutes being an old man.” I tickled her side, and she flinched, almost punching me in the face. “Now you’re trying to injure an elder.”

“I’m super ticklish,” she said through strained giggles as I continued to tickle her sides.

She took control—or I let her take control—straddling me. She pinned my hands to the side. “Don’t forget I’m stronger than you,” she said through a cackle.

“Is that so?” I said with raised eyebrows. I could see her expression change, predicting exactly what was about to happen. I flipped her over onto her back, and she let out a small squeal. “What was that about you being stronger?”

“You’re not stronger, you’re just bigger in general.” She tried to wiggle out of my grasp, but I looked down at her with a smirk and only slightly loosened my grip. “If you’re going to hold me down like this, you might as well kiss me or something.”

“Or something, huh?” I leaned down and gave her a soft peck on the lips. I made a trail of kisses down her jaw and neck. A light moan escaped her as I nibbled on her neck lightly. “Did I find a sweet spot?”

“Maybe,” she said, leaning her head even more to the side to expose her neck to me.

I nibbled and sucked her neck while she squirmed under me.

I ran my hands down her body, and she clung her arms around me tightly.

I travelled back up to her mouth and kissed her more passionately than ever before.

I was reminding her that she was mine and I was hers, hoping to alleviate any doubts she might have had.

I slipped my tongue into her mouth, and she lightly sucked it further in.

I could imagine how good her mouth would feel around me.

The thought alone made me twitch. She grabbed my shirt, inching it up to take it off. “Not so fast, baby girl.”

“Ugh, why?” she complained.

“Because we need to get cleaned up. Come here,” I said, standing up from the bed and extending my hand for her to grab. “I have a surprise for you.”

I guided her to the bathroom and opened the linen closet. There was a basket filled with bath essentials—bath bombs, bubbles, Epsom salt, and various oils. “Did you do this?” she asked.

“I may have called in a favor to the owners once I saw there was a jacuzzi tub. Since we technically already showered together, I thought we could kick it up a notch and have a bath together. What do you say?”

Her cheeks flushed as she looked down at the basket. “Umm…I…” She trailed off.

“I don’t want you to feel pressured,” I said, hoping to dissolve any anxieties. “We can bathe separately if that would make you more comfortable.”

“No, it’s not that.” She looked away, avoiding my gaze.

“I’m a little self-conscious about the thickness I have around my stomach and thighs.

Sitting in a tub isn’t exactly the sexiest position.

I’ve never taken a bath or even a shower with anyone before.

” She met my eyes with a hesitant expression.

“I am attracted to every piece of you,” I reassured.

“The mole on your chin you put your thumb to when you're deep in thought, the scar on your shoulder only visible when you’re in the sun, the red freckle on your chest that peeks out when you wear those V-neck tank tops, your slim waist which curves into your mouthwatering hips and plump ass have made me a very patient man, and don’t even get me started on your thick thighs that are going to make good pillows for my cheeks when I finally get to taste you.

And out of all the parts of your body that I love, I absolutely adore your button nose the most.” I poked her nose with a smile.

Her whole face and neck were flushed. “I really don’t need to be self-conscious around you, do I?”

“Never,” I said, winking. Then in an instant, she ripped off her clothes.

I stood and stared at the gorgeous woman standing in front of me, and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I was in complete awe at the sight before me.

If I could create a woman who had all the physical attributes I enjoy, Serenity would be the creation.

I could hardly wait to explore every inch of her.

“Are you going to undress or just stand there gawking at me?” She stuck out her tongue and laughed. I couldn’t help but admire the way her body jiggled when she laughed.

“Pick out your favorites from the basket, and I’ll throw everything in the bath.” I undressed as I filled up the tub. She was so distracted looking through the bath essentials basket, she hadn’t noticed I slipped into the tub where the water was already above my waist when I sat down.

“That’s not fair!” she expressed. “You got to stare at me for like five minutes, and I didn’t even get a sneak peek at the goods.”

“You’ll get your chance. Now get that sexy ass in here.” Her whole body was flushed.

She inched her way in, facing her ass toward me, which I so desperately wanted to smack.

She sat down slowly between my legs and shifted her back to lean against my chest. I put my arms around her and pulled her even closer into me, resting my hands on her stomach.

“Can’t be insecure if you can’t see it,” I whispered into her ear.

We soaked in the lavender and eucalyptus-scented tub, lathering each other. She gripped up and down my legs, inching dangerously close to my hardness. I knew she could feel it against her back.

“I want to kiss you,” she said suddenly.

“Turn around,” I encouraged. She sat up and shifted her entire body around, facing me.

She inched over to straddle me, but was holding herself up, hovering as she brought her lips to mine with such tenderness.

My desire for her ignited. I pulled her into my lap, deepening the kiss.

She rolled her hips, using me to create friction against her clit.

I put my hands around her hips, appreciating her curves.

We became frantic with need. She moaned into my mouth with her movements. I pulled her hair back to expose her neck to me, kissing and biting along the same spot that made her squirm in the bed. Her moans increased, driving me insane.

“Can I take you to bed? I can’t take care of you the way I want in this tub.”

“Please,” she begged. And with that one word, I swooped her out of the tub, grabbing a towel for her.

I brought her to bed, drying her off and then myself.

Once we were mostly dry, I kissed up her body before landing back on her lips.

She clung to me as if her life depended on it. “I want you so bad, Grant.”

I kissed down to her breasts, pausing to bring a nipple into my mouth.

I twirled my tongue around the peak. “Oh, Grant. That feels so good. Just like that.” I twirled my tongue faster and then gave her other nipple a turn.

Her moans grew in volume. I couldn’t take it anymore; I had to taste her. I needed to devour her.

I kissed down her body, spending extra time kissing her stomach.

“You’re so dang beautiful.” I continued down to her thighs.

“You’re so dang sexy.” I spread her legs, so she was fully exposed to me.

“You’re already so wet for me, baby girl.

” I slid my fingers down her slick desire.

“So pretty.” I made circular movements around her clit, and she arched her back, begging for more.

“Tell me what you want.” I didn’t stop the movement.

“More, it feels so good,” she panted. I slid my fingers down from her clit to her entrance. I slid one finger inside and another as she let out a light moan. I arched my fingers, massaging her most sensitive spot.

“More?” I asked, practically drooling as I watched her writhe, her wetness increasing.

Instead of speaking, she ran her fingers through my hair before gently pulling my face toward her core.

I took the invitation and lightly circled her clit with my tongue.

I took out my fingers and gathered her wetness from her entrance up toward her clit.

“I could do this all day. You taste like a dream.”

“I’m so close already.” Her thighs shook against my face as she ground on my mouth. I slid my fingers back into her with increased speed. I nibbled lightly on her clit, and she came undone.

Her moans turned into screams. Her body shook so intensely as I continued licking up and down her core with my fingers pumping quickly inside her, chasing her high. Her movements slowed down, and I followed.

“Good girl. You came undone so good, pretty girl.” I sprinkled light kisses up and down her core and she came down from her high.

“I think you killed me, and I have gone to heaven. Rest in peace, to me. I’ve never had an orgasm so intense before.” She threw her head back on the bed.

“Good, that’s all you’ll be getting around here,” I winked at her.

“Do I get to taste you now?” she said, leaning up on her elbows.

I stood up from the bed, and Serenity’s eyes roamed up and down my body. “Like what you see?”

She lightly bit the side of her lip. “You look like a Greek god.”

I chuckled. “Maybe Silenus, since he’s one with a gut.”

“As much as I’d like to know why you know that piece of information, I’d like it much more if you could come lie down so I could devour you in return.” Her expression was menacing. “Unless you don’t want me to. We can watch TV instead.”

I smirked and crawled into bed next to her. I ran my fingers through her hair, grasping the back of her head. I brought her mouth to mine. “How do you taste on my mouth?”

“Perfect,” she purred. She pushed me down, so I was flat on the bed, and I let her. “Are you ready for me, sir?” I grew harder. I almost took back control, but I wanted to feel her mouth on me.

She moved her hand up my shaft, watching moisture gather at the tip. “Yum,” she said, licking it up.

The warmth of her tongue was paradise. She put the tip in her mouth and swirled her tongue around the head.

She inched her way down until I hit the back of her throat.

I could feel the vibrations from her moans, and the sensation was unreal.

“That feels remarkable.” Her lips curled up in a grin.

She increased the sucking pressure and travelled up and down my length at a rapid pace with her mouth and hand.

“Fuck, baby. That’s so good.” My legs shook with pleasure. I had to stop her before I came in her mouth. I leaned over and yanked her to lie on top of me. I kissed her deeply. “I need to be inside of you.”

“Did you not like it?” she asked timidly.

“I say this with my whole heart and soul. If I didn’t stop you, I was going to come within thirty seconds because of how out of this world that felt. It was so good that I desperately need to feel inside of you.” I jumped off the bed quickly to grab a condom from my bag.

I situated myself back on top of her and brought myself to her entrance, and she was soaked, dripping. “Did consuming me turn you on, pretty girl?”

“You have no idea how much I need you right now,” she said, elevating her hips.

I slowly inched inside of her as she moaned lightly. “Are you okay?” I asked before making any additional sudden movements.

“Yes, please keep going.” She lifted her hips even higher so I could go even deeper. I could fall in love with this woman.

I picked up speed as she followed with her own movements from below me.

I could feel the bounce of her ass against my thighs; it was pure ecstasy.

I flipped her again, and she raised her ass to me while lying her head on the bed.

I pounded into her from behind. Serenity’s moaning was music to my ears. A song I could never grow tired of.

I reached around to rub her clit, feeling her pulse around me. Her orgasm escaped her, and her legs almost gave out. I held her up, picking up speed, chasing my own release. I soon came undone with her.

I slowly pulled out of her, and we both simultaneously plopped onto the bed.

“You’re incredible,” I said, through ragged breaths.

I looked over at her, and she appeared blissfully tired.

I climbed out of bed to head to the bathroom to clean myself up, then brought a warm washcloth to Serenity to clean her up. She did not want to get up right away.

“What are you doing?” she asked as I brought the washcloth to her exposed center.

“I’m helping clean you up so you can lie there and relax a bit longer.” I delicately wiped her mess up. I lay back in bed once we were mostly clean and wrapped my arms around her.

I must have fallen into a deep sleep because when I opened my eyes, Serenity was no longer next to me, but I could hear the shower running. I looked at the time, and it was morning. I was excited to show her the place that had been my respite before she came around.
