Back To You - A Second Chance Romance

“No. I don’t remember anything. I must have been out like a light.” Had she woken me up? I looked down and noticed she had put a blanket on me.

“It’s okay. You were a little groggy, but that’s to be expected.”

“I feel great now. What about my hand? You wrapped it?” I wondered if that much was still swollen.

She took it and undid the wrap. “I just wanted to make sure we kept the puncture clean.” She gave it a once-over. “It isn’t swollen anymore, so that’s great. And it looks like the wound is closing. Thankfully, it wasn’t too big or deep. I’ve seen a lot worse. Looks like you don’t really need me anymore.”

As she went to stand up, I held her there and rose up, capturing her face in my hands as I kissed her.

When she pulled away, I could see the confusion in her eyes. “What was that for?”

“For saving my life.”

She shrugged. “I didn’t save you. The antivenin did.”

“But if you hadn’t been there and alerted me, I wouldn’t have reacted as quickly. So I probably would have gotten bitten a lot worse, and maybe I wouldn’t even be here right now. You did save me.”

“Well, you’re welcome.” She shrugged again.

But I wasn’t done. We had a few things we needed to get straight. “And about not needing you, I always do, Kate. And even more than that, I want you.” I kissed her again, and when I eased back in the bed, I urged her forward, which didn’t take a hell of a lot of coaxing.

Her body stretched out with mine, her leg falling over my hips as she settled in. My body was alive with desire, and after surviving that snake bite, I felt like I could do anything.

But there was only one thing I wanted to do.

I moved to tug the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head. Then, I undid her pants.

“Stop,” she said. “Jake.” She held on to her shirt, and for a moment, I thought she might put it back on.

I didn’t want her to put the brakes on again, but at least she hadn’t slapped me. Yet. “What is it, Kate? I don’t understand why you’re pulling away from me. Why you’ve been avoiding me. Can’t you see that I want you?”

“It’s not that, Jake.”

“Then what is it?” I let out a breath of frustration, but Kate began to giggle. “It’s not funny.”

Her big smile had me confused. “I just wanted to take my boots off. You’ll never get me naked with these clunky things on.”

I sank back against my pillow, feeling both silly and relieved. “I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s okay.” She moved to strip off her boots, taking time with the laces.

I looked down and realized I didn’t have mine on. I took the opportunity to take off my shirt and pants and winced when the pain in my hand came back because I’d brushed against the sore spot, but I wasn’t going to complain. Having Kate close, things were about to get much better.

When the boots were off, she stood up and took off her pants. In her bra and panties, she started for the cot. “You can do the rest,” she said, giving me a wink.

When she was stretched out beside me, I undid her bra and cupped her breasts. She had always had perfect breasts, not much more than a handful, and her tight, rosy nipples begged to be kissed. I didn’t waste any time doing so as my other hand roamed her body before sliding into the back of her panties, where I squeezed her ass. Talk about another place of perfection.

Kate had always been a bit ticklish there, and there were spots I knew drove her crazy. She hitched in a breath, and then she kissed me, much deeper and longer than before until they became feverish.

She reached for my cock, and as soon as she took it into her soft, warm hands, she began to stroke me. I obliged much the same, with intent to make her feel good, and let my hand move around to her front.

I stroked her clit, causing her to moan and pant, and her breath hitched a little as I inserted two fingers into her warm, wet channel. As I pushed deep, she ground against me, never missing a beat as she continued to work me.

We both enjoyed the pleasure, and soon, I moved down, giving her the attention which she deserved and showing her how grateful I was to have her. I wanted to show her how much I wanted and needed her. I kissed her mound and then parted her folds, exposing her clit, which I teased softly with my tongue as my fingers worked her depths.

It wasn’t long until she covered her mouth, not wanting her moans to be heard as she tensed.
