I chuckle as Rae squeaks.
“Have fun. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” He winks and waves over his shoulder.
Reaching out for Rae, I tug her into my arms and rest my chin on the top of her head. “I missed you.”
She sighs into my chest as her arms wrap around my waist. “It’s been a day since I woke up in your bed.”
“Ugh, a loooooong day.” I keep my arm around her waist and usher her into the barn.
We keep the family horses in here and the smell of fresh hay always reminds me of being a kid when I’d toss it around with Kasey and my twin, Emelia. We’d make a heck of a mess and end up spending more time cleaning up than changing the hay in the stalls.
“What are you grinning at?” Rae asks, pinching my ass.
I laugh and smack hers. “You do that babe and I’m going to be showing you what it’s like to make out in the hay.”
She chuckles. “I wouldn’t object.”
I growl and take a step away. “Not happening.” Holding my hands out, I back further away and laugh.
“You,” she slowly follows, “are asking for trouble…but I think,” she runs a finger down my chest, “that we’re pushing our luck. So we should head out.” Rae reaches up and places a quick kiss on my lips before walking further into the barn.
I frown as she walks away because her smile slipped from her face as she turned away.
While saddling the horses, I leave the silence alone although I keep sneaking looks at her while we work side-by-side.
She’s tiny compared to me but there’s strength packed into her tight body.
“I can practically feel you watching me,” she giggles and cocks an eyebrow.
Amused, I take a step closer. “I can’t not look at you when you’re near me.” I close the distance and wrap a red curl around my finger. “There’s something about you.” Shaking my head I meet her curious gaze. “You were meant to be with me, Rae, and I’m going to prove it to you.” I quickly kiss her stunned lips before wrapping my hands around her waist and lifting her up and onto the horse.
RAE
Diego feels good beneath me as I sit astride his lap with my face buried into his neck. We’re relaxing under branches of a large cedar tree and it’s nice being with him without having to think about anyone else.
Lucia has watched me like a hawk since I’ve been under her roof and I can’t wait to move Andie and I back to our home, and before I know it my daughter will be back at school, meaning Diego will be able to visit me.
“Talk to me, Rae,” Diego asks, caressing my back. “I’ve learnt that silence means you’re thinking too hard.”
Kissing his neck, I nuzzle closer. “I can’t help thinking about all the things in our way,” I admit, wrapping my arms around his waist, wanting to be as close as I can. “My age is always going to be a problem for your family to accept, even Aiden
will have a problem with it.”
Diego threads his fingers through my hair, gently tipping my face up to meet his gaze. His forehead drops to mine, his eyes flutter closed. “Don’t worry about my family, Rae.”
I really wish it weren’t easier said than done because the thought of his family makes me nauseous, and nervous which is why I blurt, “Don’t you have a job in New York?”
His eyes widen in surprise when I cover his mouth with my fingers. “Don’t answer that…well, maybe answer… I’m afraid Diego. I’m afraid that this, whatever it is, is going to be so much more…and then it will all be ripped away.”
“This already is so much more than anything I’ve ever had before, and I’m not going to let anything rip you away from me.” His lips crush mine in a hungry and passionate kiss as he holds me tightly against him.
His tongue is silky and wet as he searches my mouth, making my whole body shudder with pleasure. It’s been so long since a man has loved me, that I’m pretty sure I’ve reached the point of wanting our clothes out of the way
My hands agree as I tease the skin just above Diego’s waistband with my fingers. I dip beneath and move my hand back and forth, feeling his stomach quiver at my touch. I’m desperate to see him so that I don’t have to imagine what he looks like anymore.
I’ve felt him hard and thick against me a few times, but I want to see the flesh of his penis. Is he pink or red? Is the head a deep purple when he’s heavily aroused? Or does he stay red?
With the strength behind his kiss, and the way my thoughts have turned, I end up grinding against him to try and ease the building ache between my legs.
