“Why not? I held my own when we were leaving the school. And I could be an asset. I know my way around here.” I could see Henry liked the idea. It did make sense, but I was leery.
“I won’t let you go with them!”
“Are you being for real, Rosa? I didn’t realize you were my mom.” Oops. I had a feeling that it was going to get nasty. I wished we had electricity so I could pop a bag of popcorn for the show that was about to begin.
“Maybe we should get out of the line of fire,” I whispered to Addie.
“I think you may be right. Let them duke it out.” Addie had a smirk on her face.
I grabbed Henry’s arm. “Come on. Let’s go out in the living room and give them a little privacy.” Claire and Nick followed behind us. When we rounded the corner, Thomas and Shay were kissing on the couch.
“Well, maybe we should go outside then,” Henry said and Addie laughed. Thomas and Shay pulled apart.
He directed me straight through the front door and down the porch stairs. He held my arm and guided me back into the barn. I climbed the ladder, and he followed. I had a feeling what was going to happen.
As soon as he made it up the ladder, he grabbed me, pushed me down on the floor, and began kissing me with intense passion.
Breathless, I pushed him away. “Henry, we can’t. Not here.”
“Why not? Here is as good as any.”
“We shouldn’t. Everyone is up, and we could get company. I’m sure someone saw us come out here.” He grumbled at me and rolled onto his back.
He adjusted his arousal. I felt that stirring deep within my core when I saw him do so. He was propped up on his elbows, smirking at me. His eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
I sighed. “Henry…?”
“Yes, my love?”
“Why must you do this to me? You have this power over me.”
He grinned. “I know,” he rumbled. “Now get over here so I can fuck your brains out.”
“Well, look who thinks he put on his bossy pants this morning.” I crawled up, straddling him. I leaned down to kiss him. He groaned as he ran his icy cold hands up my shirt. I broke into a violent shiver.
“Sorry, love.” He looked upset with himself.
“It’s fine. I don’t mind it.” I softly smiled at him. “It’s exhilarating.” He returned my smile and ran his fingers down my sides. I shivered again, and pulled my shirt over my head. It was so cold outside, and with Henry having such a low body temperature, my nerves were sparking. I shook my head a little and my hair lay over my exposed breasts. Henry sharply inhaled.
“Love…you are so goddamn stunning. I could stare at you all motherfucking day.” I pulled his shirt off of him and ran my hands over his stellar body. His breath caught in his throat. “Your warm hands feel so good against my skin.” I ran my fingers around his waist, teasing him every time I got near the button of his jeans.
He finally reached down and unbuttoned them himself. A good portion of his arousal sprung free. My mouth watered while looking at my beautiful man. He smiled while he watched me gawk at him.
“See anything you like?” he murmured as he pulled me down on top of him.
“I see a lot of things that I like.”
“Maybe you should kiss all of the places that you like.” He had a devious smile on his face.
“It could take a while.”
“I have a little time to spare.” He put his hands behind his head and settled in.
I started at his ears and worked my way over his lips and down his neck, making sure to press my chest firmly against his. He groaned as I kissed his chest and ran my tongue over his abdomen.
Henry’s breath hitched when my chest brushed up against his arousal. I heard him moan my name in between the pants coming through his parted lips. I looked up at him, and his eyes were closed. He was waiting for me to take him in. He licked his lips, and I licked mine. I ran the backs of my nails over his wide shaft. He twitched and let out another moan. The anticipation was killing him.
Finally, I gave him what he wanted. I wrapped my mouth around him, and gave him the thrill of a lifetime as I raked my teeth up and down him. I saw his body further relax. A few minutes into it, he quickly sat up on his elbows.
“Holy Christ, Elaina… Stop.” His breath was ragged. “If you don’t stop…” I crawled up and kissed him. He grabbed me and flipped me over. “My turn.” His lips curled up into a grin.
He ran his cool lips all over my skin. His gentle kisses made my nerves stand on end. From my neck to my chest, he left me squirming with every kiss. He focused on my breasts for a little while, knowing he was driving me crazy. He ran his tongue over my abdomen, much like I did his. I reached down and unbuttoned my jeans, and he pulled them down, watching me maneuver my own hands across my body.
