McKenzie Cousins Box Set 1

d I would drive our parents nuts when we’d go to get a tree. It would take us forever, but you know what? Our parents never once got angry or annoyed or impatient with us over it. They basically let us run wild around the lot until we settled on one.” She pauses. “There was one main rule set before we’d leave home. No making pests of ourselves and to respect other people. We loved it…Today means so much to me, Tanner.” She tilts her head. “Thank you.”

I’m choked at her memory, and her words, so I dip my head and kiss her. Turns out, we’re right under the mistletoe.

“Threading popcorn and cranberries onto string is just as exciting as I remember.” I nudge Tanner’s thigh with my foot. “Did you ever do this?”

He offers me a soft smile. “I did. The three of us used to sit like we’re doing right now, and spend the evening threading. Mom would have gingerbread cooking in the oven because she said it reminded her of her grandma’s house at Christmas. She loved the smell.”

“I’m glad you have those memories, Tanner. It keeps her alive in your heart.”

He pauses before turning to meet my gaze. “You’d have loved her.”

“She set you on the right track to becoming a man, and your father finished the job.” I softly smile. “She’d have been so proud of you.”

He swallows hard and gazes into the burning fire in the fireplace. Sitting forward, I remove the bowls of popcorn and cranberries from our laps, place the strings onto the coffee table, and finally settle against his side. His arm wraps around my waist as the comfortable silence settles over us.

The large mantel above the fire is filled with photographs of Tanner with his parents, and when I browsed them the other day, I noticed there were some newer images of just him and his father. They made me smile to realize he’d continued what his mother had obviously started. I’d also spotted the one of me that he’d hidden behind the large frames. It had been taken at Sirena’s wedding on the back lawn. I left it in place, and as yet, I haven’t acknowledged that I’m aware of its presence.

The crackling of the fire has me so relaxed I feel my eyes drifting closed…and the last thing I remember before sleep claims me is feeling Tanner’s lips on my forehead, and his whispered, “I love you.”

Feeling nice and toasty, I come awake lying against Tanner on the sofa. At some point, he’d pulled a fuzzy blanket over us, and left the fire slowly crackling in the hearth. It’s because of this that I can see his features softened with sleep, but then his lips turn up in a loving smile.

“I know you’re awake,” he whispers, snuggling me closer. “Go back to sleep.”

Wiggling closer, I feel his erection pressing against my belly, so I purposely rub him. He swells and gasps, grabbing my hips to still me. His breathing is heavy as I break free of his hold and slowly start to kiss down his chest. I shove his T-shirt up, putting my hands on his heated flesh. He inhales sharply before getting into a more comfortable position on his back.

I crawl between his legs and dip down with my tongue into his navel. My tongue tickles and licks, slipping beneath the edge of his sweat pants.

“Touch me,” he begs, arching his hips. “Put your mouth on me, Charlotte. I’ve dreamt about your mouth…”

Making quick work of his sweats, he kicks them off and then I have a front row view of his magnificent equipment. His penis is long, thick, and rigid with the tip dripping precum as I wrap my hand around the root of him. He shudders, arching into my touch. When I lick and swirl my tongue around the crown, he pants, gripping the sofa with fists.

The bulging head looks painful in its full arousal and just the sight, with the precum constantly appearing, is enough to cause an ache deep inside of me. I glance up and realize he’s watching me, so I slowly slip my tongue from between my lips and lick along the thick throbbing vein to his sac.

With a teasing grin, I fondle him while keeping the pressure on his cock, and then I massage one of his balls in my mouth. His dick twitches.

I let it plop free and sample the other before I slowly move back to the wet tip. “You’re enjoying this,” I say, sucking just the head into my mouth.

His hips leave the sofa as he groans and throws his head back. “I’m seconds from coming,” he mumbles, and adds, “Ride me,” begging.

“You look so hot like this.” I rise up, dropping my pants and panties as I do, the shirt going over my head.

He catches his breath when I straddle his hips, wrapping a hand around his dripping dick. “You are so beautiful.” He positions himself at my core and guides me slowly down until he’s buried deeply inside of me.

I clench around him with need and when his hands cup my breasts, my hips start working him over. There’s nothing gentle in the way our bodies are moving together, or the way our breaths come out quick and choppy, as though we can’t catch a full one.

“Charlotte,” moaning, Tanner tries to slow me down, but I can’t stop sliding on him. “I’m going to come…Oh God…” he pants, gripping my hips tightly before he reaches for my breasts. He brings me down to his mouth with one hand and uses his other to press me on him as he hammers inside my sleek, quivering pussy.

My senses on overload, I grip his cock fiercely and start rippling along him just as Tanner presses deeply, spilling his release, triggering deeper contractions inside of me.

Dropping my face into his shoulder, I struggle for breath, which eventually becomes easier as he strokes my back. His breath tickles my ear and when he lifts me from his semi-hard flesh, goose bumps shiver across my skin.

He chuckles. “You feel so good.” Rolling us to our sides, our legs tangle together as he holds me tightly against his chest. His chin rests on the top of my head. “It feels amazing being inside you…to feel your tight pussy gripping me…massaging me.”

Sighing softly, he adds, “I’ve never had this, Charlotte. What I have with you, I’ve never had before. The way you make me feel. The way you look at me as though I’m the only one you see. Cooking a meal for you or with you. It’s all new to me.”
