I smiled when my name fell from her lips. I wanted to hear that every single day for the rest of my life and that revelation scared the piss out of me.
“My beautiful Irish cailin.”
Maebh melted as I pressed my mouth to hers. I was instantly hit with the smell of lavender and it made me relax into the kiss even more. It started off tender, slow and meaningful as we explored each other. Maebh’s soft lips had me letting out a moan of my own, which made her grip onto my arms tightly. I’d never in my life experienced such a sensuous kiss. My hand dropped from her hair to the middle of her back, and I pulled her closer. Our tongues moved faster, the moans grew louder, and the kissing got more intense. My pulse was racing, and we both pulled back at the same time, chests heaving in an attempt to pull in much-needed air.
Our eyes met, and Maebh pressed her fingers to her swollen lips.
“That was the most amazing shift of my life.”
My brows pulled in tightly. “Shift?”
Her eyes closed. “Kiss. I’ve never…that was…wow. You make me live in the moment, Cord, and that both thrills and scares me.”
Smiling, I kissed her again. This time wasn’t so slow. Maebh’s hands moved over my body while mine did the same to her. Slipping to her perfect ass, I squeezed it hard, making Maebh gasp into my mouth.
Her hand was under my T-shirt, running her fingers over my skin, leaving me aching for more. Lifting her leg with my hand, I felt her skin and nearly came undone when she wrapped her leg it around mine. If we didn’t stop soon, I was going to be begging for more. Knowing she was naked under her robe was driving me insane and I only had so much willpower.
“Maebh, baby, we have to stop or I’m going to rip that robe off and lick your pussy,” I whispered against her lips.
“Oh God,” she whimpered.
“Has anyone ever done that to you?” I asked, looking into her eyes. They were glassy like she was drunk from our kisses. It made me feel so fucking good to know I made her feel this way.
She shook her head.
With a slow smile, I ran my nose along her jaw and kissed her neck.
“I can’t wait to taste you and make you mine. To know that my tongue will be the only one that’s tasted you is such a fucking turn on, Maebh.”
Her head dropped back, and she moaned. I knew if I didn’t stop things, we’d go too far, and I didn’t want her to regret anything. Stepping back, I broke our connection. Maebh stood with her arms wrapped around her body, holding her robe shut as she took one deep breath after another.
“I better go.”
Maebh didn’t respond; she nodded. When her gaze fell to the large bulge in the front of my jeans, she went to say something but stopped before lifting her eyes to mine.
“What about… Will you…?”
She looked worried. Like if we left things like this, I’d run off and find someone else to take care of my hard-on. I hated that she thought of me that way.
“A shower and a handful of baby oil will be waiting for me at home.”
Her cheeks flushed, and she smiled.
“Go in, and shut your damn blinds in your bathroom, then text me when you get into bed.”
Nodding, she replied, “Alright.”
When she looked at my cock again, I lifted her chin so we were staring at one another. “I’m leaving you exactly the way you’re leaving me. Stop worrying, okay?”
“I’ll try.”
Kissing her quickly, I made it over the walls and across the roof until I was back at my place. First thing I did was strip down, get in the shower, and jack myself off while pulling up the memory of Maebh naked in her bathroom. I came so hard I cried out her name, then leaned against the wall, panting.
I had a feeling I was going to be taking a lot of showers until I made Maebh mine.
Standing behind the bar, I shook my head. “I don’t know if I should leave.”
Trevor groaned. “Not again. The bar will be fine! Tammy knows what in the hell she’s doing, and I’ll be here. I already told Wade to expect me to be away from the ranch the next few days.”
I was getting ready to leave for my parents’ lake house for four days. Four days I’d be away from the bar and Maebh. Two nights ago I’d held her in my arms and kissed her like she was the last woman I’d ever kiss. Then I’d promised her something I’d never promised another woman in my entire life.
Me. Exclusively.
“Did you tell Maebh you were heading out of town?” Trevor asked, pouring himself a Coke and then adding a bit of rum into it.
