“I love him Charlotte, and his age doesn’t bother me. It has never been an issue for me. I know it has for him.” I move to look out of the kitchen windows, relieved as I watch Dee drive away. It’s short lived though as Tanner now approaches his dad.
They move toward the stables and finally disappear after a few words to Geary.
“I want a relationship with him, and it would make all the difference to Derek if Tanner supported him.” I drop my shoulders and face her. “Derek said he’s in this with me regardless.”
“Look, my husband is level headed and he just needs time.” Charlotte moves closer. “I want you both to be happy.” Hugging me close, she says, “I’m going to the stables. Join me?”
“I’d love to.” Grabbing a cinnamon and raisin bagel, and after placing my coffee into a thermal cup, I step outside.
The air smells fresh and there’s a cool crisp breeze, but soon it will be much warmer as the sun rises higher in the sky.
“It’s beautiful here,” Charlotte comments.
My eyes find Derek riding out of the stables on his black beast of a horse, and I softly smile and reply, “It most certainly is.”
Chuckling, Charlotte steps down from the porch and heads toward her husband. They’re so cute together. Tanner holds the reins and leans down as far as he can to accept Charlotte’s kiss. He wraps an arm around her waist and hauls her up, seating her in front of him.
“Should I be insulted that you’re watching them and not me?” Derek smiles from under the brim of his hat.
Grinning, I move down the steps. “Oh, don’t worry, I can assure you, my eyes are most certainly on you.”
He pauses and holds his hand out. “Join me up here.”
I eye the beast and hear Derek chuckle. “Don’t worry, Knight won’t bite you…can’t say the same for the rider.”
Smirking, I take his hand and with some swift maneuvering, find myself on the horse. Derek wraps an arm around my waist, his palm flat against my stomach.
His lips graze my lobe, and with a gentle tug, he gets the horse moving while my temperature rises. “You’re enjoying this.”
“Mmm, I have your hands on me, and your body pressed against mine. Why wouldn’t I be enjoying this?”
With a gentle tug, my bottom is snug against the hardness at Derek’s groin. “I’m enjoying this too, in case you were wondering.”
“I don’t need to wonder, I can feel.” I turn my face up to his and tease. “I remember how it felt to have you sliding inside of me.” His eyes darken as we move further from the house and stables, so I continue, “All hard and pulsing into my warm swollen and wet body.” I caress his jaw, his eyes now blazing with arousal. “I was ready for you. I always am.”
Derek growls and captures my lips in a heated kiss. Our mouths move together, our tongues slipping and sliding like another part of his body does so well.
Panting, Derek rests his forehead against mine. “You’re going to be the death of me.”
“Not a chance.” I brush my lips softly over his, my body wanting him in a way I’d never experienced before.
His eyes gleam seconds before the snap of my jeans opens and the zipper goes down.
I catch my breath and rest my head back against his shoulder; my arm reaching up and I curve my hand behind his neck.
He whispers, “I’m going to give you a memory, so that every time you see me astride Knight, you’ll remember what I did to you.”
Before I have time to respond, a large rough hand slips inside my T-shirt, grabbing a handful of breast. He shoves the cup of my bra out of his way and then he’s pinching and rolling my nipple. Pleasure shoots straight between my legs causing a heavy gasp to leave my lips. His fingers dip into the opening of my jeans, and splay over my mound beneath my panties. The tip of his finger presses between my swollen lips.
“So good,” I moan. “I’ve wanted you to touch me for months.”
“I’ve been just as in need as you.” He kisses my cheek softly.
“Enjoy!” he hisses in my ear when a thick digit presses at my entrance. “So wet.”
“All for you.”
His hand trembles and the moment he enters me, my orgasm rushes forward. My muscles pulsate and clamp hard around his finger as I turn and search for his mouth.
