A guttural moan leaves his mouth as he collapses on top of me in an exhausted heap before withdrawing from my body. He rolls to his side, and whispers, “Give me a minute.”
When I think he’s asleep, Ryan rolls from the bed and walks into the bathroom. I watch him remove and flush the condom before he comes back with a washcloth. He doesn’t say anything, just cleans between my legs and throws the cloth back into the bathroom.
Climbing into bed, he pulls the covers over us and snuggles me into his arms. “Please don’t leave.”
“I have nowhere else I’d rather be,” I reply softly, my eyes drooping.

Ryan
Holding Gretchen’s hand, I have to force my attention to stay on the road in front of us. The vision of my girl kneeling between my legs with my cock in her mouth is the most erotic thing ever. How the fuck I’d slept through some of that is beyond me. I’d woken as my orgasm was being sucked out of me. I thought the head of my dick was about to blow off with how strongly I finished.
The beautiful girl has a wicked side to her, and I wanted to see what else she dared do. And there was me thinking she was a shy virgin. The virgin part was accurate, but the shy part is none existent. It would appear whatever the fuck is going on between us, has gotten rid of that. I’m glad. I love the teasing side of her, even if I think it’s going to kill me.
I desperately wanted to stay in bed for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I’d arranged to meet Levi out at the restaurant he wants me to be part of. I’ve already decided I want in, but there is fun in watching him become impatient for my answer. Emelia’s is well known, so I know without even checking, that if Levi wants to build a restaurant here, then it will be just as successful.
“Tell me about your aunt and uncle.”
“Who?” I’m confused.
“Levi’s parents?”
“Oh!” I laugh. “Dante and Emelia are cousins to my dad. It’s just easier calling Levi a cousin.” I glance at her and notice I have her full attention, so I add, “Dante was a priest and Emelia, his stepsister.”
“What?” She laughs. “That’s crazy.”
“Yes! Love in purgatory.” I grin. “You’ll have to ask Levi his parents’ story. He’ll tell you.”
&n
bsp; “I can’t get my head around it.” She settles with her head on the seat, but her eyes are all over me. “Does your family have any other crazy stories?”
“Hmm, you mean like my kissing cousins?”
She sits up straighter and then laughs. “You’re talking about Alexander and Rachel, right?”
“I forgot, you know, Alexander.”
“Not really. My sister is friends with him, that’s how I ended up being there that New Year. I hadn’t wanted to go, but my sister bribed me. I’m glad I ended up where I did.”
“Me too.” I squeeze her hand. “What did your sister bribe you with?”
Glancing over to her, I catch a soft smile on her lips. “Handmade macaroons—passionfruit. She makes the best. Whenever I tried, they’d look like burnt blobs. Rina has so much patience when cooking, whereas I want the food ready in minutes.”
“My sister, Sofia, is a baker. It’s all she’s wanted since she was old enough to walk.” I smile. “Her husband Shane reaps the benefits, although he spends time in their home gym so he can keep on doing so.”
“I remember Sofia.”
“I think Levi wants her to have some input into the dessert menu. Maybe come in and make them up on the weekends.” I shrug. “He runs Emelia’s with his sister in Essex over in Vermont. It’s been around more than twenty-five years.”
“How amazing is that?”
“I know, right?” Turning the truck along the dust track leading to the old barn and land that Levi has already purchased, I turn the engine off and sit staring at the site. “Until Levi turned up asking me to go in with him, I’d never given thought to a venture outside of Kenza.”
“Would you be able to manage it with Kenza?”
“That’s something we’d need to discuss, although I have a feeling Levi is really talking about me being a silent partner.” Jumping down from the truck, I run around and open the door.
