CHAPTER 19 BEN
Sunlight streams in the open windows as I wake in the morning. Kaylee is still sleeping beside me, warm in my arms as I tighten my grip around her.
I realize the reason I woke up as I hear Buddy’s whine coming from the floor on my other side.
He nudges my back again to wake me up. “Sorry boy,” I whisper.
I roll away from Kaylee and click a few buttons on my phone.
“It’s unlocked,” I whisper to Buddy. He takes off downstairs to head out his doggie door so he can roam the grounds.
He’s trained well and is always able to find his way back after his morning adventures, but mostly it’s because he just lies out in the yard and doesn’t venture beyond grass into the forest. It’s always a toss up as to whether he’ll come home with a souvenir from his outing, but since he’s scared of his own shadow, usually it’s a stick. And not a big one.
He isn’t the dog who brings home mice and rabbits. He’s the dog who is scared of the mice and rabbits. Thank God for that.
Kaylee shifts beside me.
“Good morning,” I say softly.
“Good morning.” She turns in toward me and I plant a soft kiss on her forehead. She lets out a soft little moan, and the monster wakes up at the sound.
Hell, the monster is always ready for action when Kaylee’s around.
She wraps an arm around me and moves in a little closer, and I gently push my hips toward hers. She presses a soft kiss to my chest, and that’s the signal. She’s into it.
And I am never one to disappoint.
She presses in closer to me and pushes my shoulder down so I’m lying on my back. She tosses a leg over my hip so she’s straddling me then rubs her magical pussy over the outside of the mesh shorts that I slept in.
Her hands find my chest and she runs her fingertips over my nipples and down my abdomen, feeling each ridge in the muscles there as she goes. I thrust my hips up toward her again.
She moans, this time louder, and closes her eyes and tosses her head back. Then she reaches down and pulls off the t-shirt she slept in.
I reach out for her gorgeous tits as soon as they come into view. She’s still wrestling her way out of the shirt, and her tits bounce softly when she moves. I brush my thumbs over her nipples.
I push my hips up toward her again once her shirt’s off, and she backs off me for a bit. She pulls my shorts down over my hips and off my legs then kneels between my thighs before fisting my cock.
She runs her tongue up and down my shaft a few times before sucking the head into her mouth. I feel her tongue swirling around the tip before she takes me all the way to the back of her throat, and I thread my fingers into her hair as hot pleasure radiates through my entire being.
Is there anything better in the entire world than getting head first thing in the morning?
No. No there’s not.
I hold her head in place as she sucks me all the way to the back of her throat. A feral growl from deep in my chest grunts out of me, and she moans over me, the hum vibrating all the way down to my balls as they start to tighten up.
As much as I want to come in her mouth until she swallows every last drop, or all over her tits like she let me do once before, what I really want this morning is to bury my dick deep inside that gorgeous pussy.
And that’s what I tell her. I lighten up on my grip on her head and push her back a little as I slide up. Her eyes meet mine as she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. I give her a sly grin as I shake my head.
“I want to fuck your pussy until you can’t walk straight today.”
Her eyes widen for a beat in surprise at my filthy words, but she’s into it.
“Be my guest,” she murmurs.
I slide her panties over her hips and down her legs then pull her back on top of me. I align myself with her pussy before I slide my way in. It’s slick and ready for me, and it feels like fucking heaven in here.
“Oh God, Ben,” she moans.
I move slowly inside of her, focusing on how good she feels as I grab under her ass and help her move up and down over me. It’s a lazy, languid, luxurious session of sex, and that’s the perfect introduction to what life is going to be like over the next few weeks.
I brush my thumb over her clit and her pussy seems to tighten over me. I do it again, pressing that magic button, and her breathing picks up the pace. I keep it up then lean forward and suck a nipple into my mouth.
She falls apart.
The contracting of her pussy sends me into my own release.
Come streams inside her as I let go of all the pent-up need I’ve had for her since the last time we were together this way.
It was only a couple days ago, but sitting in the car with her all day yesterday and confessing some of my darkest secrets and listening to hers bonded us. We’re closer now than we were before.
We were too wiped out last night to create the kind of connection that we both needed, but I feel even closer to her after the intimacy of this morning.
It’ll be like this for the next couple weeks while it’s just the two of us here.
But then we’ll have to go back to Vegas for Jack and Kate’s wedding. Luke and Ellie will join us on our return, and Jack and Kate will come up after their weeklong honeymoon.
And then it won’t just be us anymore. Then we’ll have to put on the act that I’m tired of putting on. I’ll have to pretend like I haven’t fallen for her with every part of who I am, and I’ll have to watch as she pretends the same.
In front of her family, I’ll have to act like I haven’t let her into the darkest recesses of my soul.
Maybe at some point over the next few weeks we’ll make the decision that we’re ready to tell them, but I have a feeling she wants to wait until the contract is up.
We get up to shower together, but before she gets in the shower, she stares out the windows. There are no window coverings on them—just a straight view of the wilderness outside. “Whoa,” she breathes in awe.
The view from my bathroom is pretty spectacular. The Rockies are off in the distance, and the forest is right outside the window.
I love everything about this house, but this master bathroom is a thing of beauty.
The shower is encased in glass with a view out the windows.
It has a rainfall showerhead on top, two showerheads built into the wall, and one detachable showerhead as well.
The best part about it is that no matter where you’re standing, water is coming at you.
It’s perfect for showers for two—not that I’ve taken many showers for two in here.
That would require allowing other people into this place and I don’t tend to do that except for close friends.
“No shades?” she asks.
I shrug. “Have you ever showered with an elk looking at you?” She giggles, and I point up at the top of the shower where electric shades are built in.
“When I have guests here, I put these down. Same with the bedroom. But when I don’t, there’s nobody around us for miles.
Nobody will see us except maybe the animals and Buddy, but it’s nothing Buddy hasn’t seen before. ” I wiggle my eyebrows, and she laughs.
After our slow shower together that involves a lot of steamy kissing and water being squirted into some magical places, I take her downstairs and make a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, S’mores cereal, and fruit, which Doris picked up for me when I let her know I was coming into town, and I surprise Kaylee with her Diet Dr Pepper.
“When did you do this?” she asks, holding up the can in wonder.
“I had Doris pick it up along with the other groceries.”
She gives me a look of appreciation. “You’re the best.” We’re quiet a beat as she chugs her soda. “What do you want to do today?” she asks.
“I figured I could show you around the house and then we could take one of the ATVs out on the property so I can show you around. Maybe later this week we can swing by the gym and you can meet Craig. Maybe dinner with my mom so I can meet her fiancé.”
“Craig’s the guy who runs the gym?”
I nod. “My buddy from high school. One of the few people in the world I trust.” I take a bite of egg.
“He’s the one who has the key to this place?” she asks.
“Yeah.”
We finish breakfast and clean up, and then Buddy dashes in the doggie door.
No stick, but he’s trembling.
I glance out the window and see a few deer off in the near distance.
I chuckle as he settles into his doggie bed, spent from his morning outside. I toss some food into his bowl and make sure his water dish is full, and then it’s time to take Kaylee on the grand tour…and suddenly I feel nervous.
This is my sanctuary, and I chose every detail from the type of wood to bathroom cabinets to the custom garage to the kitchen backsplash.
Her approval here means everything to me…especially since I can’t stop picturing mornings like the one we’ve had today as we move much further into the future.
