“You know they’re going to know we’re missing, right?” I laugh as Declan pulls me into the study at the front of the house.
“I don’t care. I just need a minute to kiss you without someone commenting on it.” He pulls me in close, arms around my waist, and looks at me.
“What?” I ask, my arms moving around his shoulders, bringing us chest to chest.
“I’m soaking in this moment. Surprisingly, we don’t get many of them.”
“Hmm,” I hum. “We don’t. We’re busy people.”
“You think we could find some time for us this weekend? We’ve got three days before we go back to work,” he says as he presses soft kisses to my neck, slowly making his way to the spot behind my ear that always has me melting.
“I think that could be arranged.” My hands grip the back of his sweater as I feel his tongue stroke my pulse point quickly before he moves back to my lips.
“Good,” he mumbles against me before finally giving me that kiss he was talking about. His grip around me tightens, his tongue seeking entrance into my mouth, and as soon as I grant it, he’s moving backward, pulling me with him.
He hits the edge of the couch before falling back and pulling me on top of him so I’m straddling his hips. His hands hold me in place, his fingers touching the exposed skin where my sweater has shifted above my skirt.
“We’re going to need to get back in there soon,” I breathe out as his lips trail down my neck toward the exposed skin of my collarbone.
“I know, but I’m not ready yet.” He continues trailing kisses over my exposed skin. One of his hands travels up the side of my body, grazing the side of my breast, following the top of my sweater. I feel my nipples tighten, and a shiver runs up my spine.
I arch into his touch, urging him on. “Someone could walk in on us.”
“So, you should probably be quiet.” He glances up at me as he pulls the front of my sweater down, exposing my bare breast to him. “No bra?” he asks before pulling my pebbled nipple into his mouth, sucking lightly.
“N-No.” I smother my moan with a hand to my mouth and grind down on his hardening length. “This is so not smart,” I finally manage to whisper.
I know I should stop him, but the likelihood of my family walking in is so slim—it’s practically non-existent. And if I’m being honest, I don’t want him to stop. I’ve been craving his touch since last week at The Diner. My need for him might scare me if I give myself time to think about it, but I won’t. I want this too much.
“Do you want me to stop?” he asks as he moves his hand to my leg, traveling up my thigh and under my skirt.
“No,” I groan. “But you’re playing dirty.”
“You like it.” He focuses his mouth back on my nipple while the hand on my leg travels higher, to the apex of my thighs, feeling the wetness that has built in my center through the cotton of my underwear.
I bite my lip to stop myself from making a sound. “What do you want?” he asks, moving my panties to the side, exposing my sensitive clit to the cool air around us. “Do you want to grind your pretty pussy against me? Or do you want my fingers again?”
“Your fingers,” I breathe. “We don’t have much time.” I grip the sides of his face, pulling his lips to mine as he slides two fingers inside me, thrusting in and out once before adding a third. “Yes,” I moan against his lips.
“You’ve got to be quiet.” He pinches my exposed nipple before bringing his lips back down to soothe it. My body arches into his touch, my hips grinding against his hand.
“Kiss me,” I beg him as his thumb strokes my clit, finding the perfect rhythm, applying just the right amount of pressure while his fingers thrust in and out of me, hitting my G-spot on each thrust in. My thighs begin to tremble, and I know my release is close.
“That’s it, gorgeous. Come for me.”
And just like that, I do. I collapse against Declan, biting his shoulder to hide my moan as I fall over the edge. I think I might blackout for a second from how intense that orgasm was.
“Sorry about your shoulder,” I say softly as I come back down to earth.
“I’m not,” he says as he pulls his fingers from me, fixing my underwear back into place and bringing his fingers to his mouth to lick them clean. That small action has me clenching my thighs, wanting even more.
“That’s twice I haven’t been able to do anything for you,” I say, grinding against his obvious erection.
His hands go to my hips, holding me still. “Believe me, that was entirely for me.” He grins at me, pulling my sweater back over my exposed breast. “I’m going to need a minute before I go back out there,” he says reluctantly.
“Okay.” I lean forward for one more kiss, tasting myself on his tongue. “I’m going to go to the bathroom before joining everyone again,” I tell him as I get up from his lap.
I glance back at him when I reach the doorway and find him watching me, a heated look on his face. “Get out of here, or I’m never going to be able to face your family again.”
I’m still smiling to myself when I make it back to the kitchen to rejoin everyone else.
“Ew. I don’t want to know what Declan did to put that look on your face,” Caleb says from the counter where he’s getting the pies ready to serve.
“Shut up.” I push him when I stand at his side.
“I’m kidding.” His face contorts. “Okay, I’m not. I really don’t want to know. That would definitely be too much information.”
“Okay, I get it. You can move on.”
“Sorry. But in all seriousness, I like seeing you both so happy. You’re good for each other.”
“Thanks.” I rest my head on his shoulder. “Can I help with anything?” I ask after a minute.
“Emily went a little crazy with pies this year. If you could grab those two and bring them to the table, that would be great.”
“Sure.” I smile at him as I pick up the pies and join everyone at the table. Declan comes in a few minutes later, taking the empty seat beside me. He smiles as he pulls my seat closer, draping his arm over the back of my chair and relaxing into his.
I look around the table and realize I don’t think I’ve ever been more content in my life than I am in this moment, and I could get used to it.
But as my eyes land on my dad, I’m reminded I won’t have many more nights like this one.
