“My lady.” Reaching into the cab, I grasp her hips and haul her into my arms. “Let me show you around and you can give me your thoughts.”
“Really?” she asks, surprised.
“I need advice as to the feasibility of going in with my cousin.” I kiss the tip of her nose and taking her hand, tug her toward the barn. “I’m sold on the venture. The idea excites me. Your opinion matters to me. So yes, I want to hear your true thoughts.”
Perking up and grinning, she says, “Then lead the way,” running off in front of me.
My eyes stray to her silky legs in a pair of my shorts that hang loosely on her. A safety pin holds them up and knowing she’s naked beneath my clothing is driving me crazy. As she bounces in excitement, her magnificent tits jiggle under the thin white t-shirt she has knotted at the waist. Just the thought of one jiggling tit, in particular, has me hard as a rock. The silver piercing is so fucking hot that I can’t get enough. Who knew I’d be such a goner for a pierced nipple?
“Your eyes are burning a hole in my chest,” Gretchen whispers, casting her eyes around us before she smirks.
I narrow my eyes, wondering what the hell she’s up to…seconds later, I bite my tongue at the sight of her hands cupping her breasts. Her fingers and thumbs work the hard buds of her nipples until I notice her thighs rubbing together.
It’s painful to walk with my cock trapped in my jeans, but the need to have my hands on her drives me forward.
She reaches for me as I reach for her. “What the fuck have you done to me?” I groan, shoving us through into the barn. “All I want is you naked in my arms.”
Chuckling, Gretchen runs her hands through my hair. “All you want is to play with my nipple ring.”
“You know me already.” I shove the t-shirt up and clamp my mouth around the arousing flesh. “Never seen anything as sexy.” Cupping the breast in my hand, I hold it to my mouth while I play with the other.
She hooks a leg over my hip and starts rubbing her sweet pussy on my dick, driving me nuts. It’s the strong urge to come that finally slows me down. I gentle the suction on her tit while I slip a hand behind her back and caress along her spine. Kissing the tight nipple, I press butterfly kisses over her chest and up along her neck to her waiting lips. “You are so beautiful,” I whisper, brushing my lips over hers. “And, as much as I want to fuck you in here, I’m not going to. However, when we’re back at the apartment, I am going to make love to you.”
“You make my legs weak.” She grins. “Other parts of my body react to you as well.”
Chuckling, I admit, “You make one particular part of my body ache.”
“Tell me more,” the minx teases.
I pinch her bottom and quickly move out of reach. “I’ll show you a lot more when we get back to Kenza.”
Her smile suddenly slips as she meets my gaze.
“What just happened?” I ask.
She swallows hard. “What are we doing, Ryan?”
My legs eat up the distance between us and reaching out, I draw her closer and gently cup her face. I take a moment to think because her question surprised me. What are we doing? What do I want to happen between us is what she really wants to know? Searching her gaze, I smile and leaning forward, press a soft kiss to her lips. “We are doing what we’ve both wanted for years—each other.” I laugh realizing how my words sound as Gretchen’s eyes fill with amusement.
“Well, we’re certainly doing each other,” she mumbles.
Coughing to hide a laugh, I say, “Honestly Gretchen, I’m taking this thing—whatever it is—between us, one day at a time. One thing I do know is that I want you to be my girlfriend.” I grin like a loon. “I’ve never had a girlfriend before, but I want that with you more than anything. Just you, Gretchen.”
Tears appear on her lids, which she blinks away. “Good.” Throwing herself into my arms, I hold her tight and then hear her giggle. “Now that’s sorted,” she backs away. “Tell me what plans there are for this barn.”

Gretchen
I could listen to Ryan talking all day. His voice is strong and deep and such a turn on. He is well aware that I’m hanging on to every word he speaks. The cocky smirk on his lips tells me he knows exactly what his voice is doing to me, and he’s enjoying it. His phone chooses this moment to ring and with a glance at the screen, he says, “I need to take this.” He blows me a kiss and heads outside.
He brought to life for me how the barn will look once it’s been converted into a restaurant. I imagine the entrance side of the barn all in dark glass, fairy lights sparkling in the night to lead guests inside where they’ll receive a warm welcome. Tables in dark wood with burgundy and white tablecloths. A small vase with fresh flowers on the center of the table. Soft music playing throughout the evening, a small dance floor to one side.
Swaying to imaginary music, I smile and let out a contented sigh when Ryan pulls me into his arms and carries me along to the music in my head. I smile in delight.
“My brother, Jaxon, is getting married this weekend. Will you be my date?”
Butterflies flutter in my belly. “Really? You want me to be your date at a family wedding?”
