Only a Kiss
The steadfastness in Lilliana’s voice reminded him of his mother and so did the stern look she was giving him. Tucker managed a small, tentative smile in return, remembering her kind spirit but unwavering staunchness. He missed his family and had the sudden urge to visit home. He hadn’t been back to his old stomping grounds in almost five years. He glanced over at the chime guiltily. The gift didn’t come from his heart and a wave of shame washed over him for his deceitful plans. It wasn’t how he was raised and his parents would be appalled at his actions all in the name of the almighty dollar, especially considering that the land he was standing on had been family owned for almost a century.
When he stepped inside the house, a sweet fruity scent filled his nose and it, too, reminded him of home. He closed his eyes and was taken back to when he was a child. He loved living on the farm and the solitude and peace it provided him with. He inhaled deeply once more before pushing all sentimental feelings aside. He didn’t get to where he was by being wishy washy and schmaltzy, and he’d be damned if a stubborn woman from the Midwest was going to bring him to his knees. If anyone was going to be on their knees, it was going to be the tenacious little tease named Lilliana. He wanted that fucking land and he vowed it would be his.
“I’ll take that dessert to go,” Tucker said brusquely.
Lilliana’s eyes darted towards him as she removed the pan from the oven, and sparkled with confusion and irritation. “To go?”
“Yes, it’s already late enough and as you mentioned, we both need to be up early for work.”
Lilliana glowered. “This isn’t drive-through service, chucklenuts. You don’t get to show up, bark an order, and then leave. You made me make this damned apple crisp and you’re going to sit down and enjoy it properly.” Lilliana’s voice was velvet-edged, yet strong and unyielding.
Tucker couldn’t help but grin stupidly. “Chucklenuts?”
“You heard me. Now get that fine ass over here and sit down.”
“If you think my ass is so fine, then why won’t you let me plant my lips on you? I’ve been denied twice now, Lilly. Twice. I want that mouth and I’m not a man who takes no for an answer without a fight.”
Lilliana quieted for a moment as if pondering Tucker’s statement. “Alright, you can have a kiss, but only a kiss. Deal?” Lilliana chewed on the corner of her lip nervously.
So be it. If it was to be only a kiss, Tucker would make it a kiss she’d never forget. He wasn’t going to miss out on the opportunity to finally feel her mouth on his and he moved quickly before Lilliana changed her mind.
He grabbed her hand and jerked her over to him as he sat in a chair at the table. Tucker pulled Lilliana into his lap and gripped her face forcefully with one hand and fisted her hair with the other, yanking her head back so he had complete access to the wet depths of her mouth. He lunged toward her but then slowed his movements at the last moment, his lips only centimeters away from hers.
“I will see you on your knees, Lilliana Norris. I promise you, that,” he breathed into her parted mouth.
Lilliana’s cheeks flushed and Tucker knew he had hit a sweet spot with her. Yes, she would be on her knees and begging for his touch, and the land would be his. He just had to play his cards right and be patient with her.
He moved his mouth over hers, devouring its softness. Lilliana’s lips parted and she leaned in to meet Tucker’s kiss. He pushed his tongue gently past her lips, taking his time and enjoying their slow mouth fuck. Gliding his tongue over her teeth and the roof of her mouth, she shivered to his touch. God damn, she tasted good. He pulled back slightly and kissed the corner of her mouth tenderly, only to grip her face more firmly and ravage her mouth completely. His kiss was urgent and exploratory as their tongues twisted and twirled together, the smacking wet sounds filling the kitchen. Lilliana’s hands moved around his shoulders and neck, and she gripped him aggressively and buried her tongue even deeper inside his mouth as she bit and nibbled his bottom lip. Her mouth moved to his cheek and then down to his neck where she sucked viciously.
“Tucker,” she sighed in his ear as she ground her ass down into his rock hard cock.
When her tongue began to make small circles in the shell of his ear, he lost complete control of himself. He stood, picked her up and dropped her onto the table with a loud thud. Pulling her tank top off in one swift motion over her head, he dove into her bare breasts with immediacy. He sucked and plucked at her puckered pink nipples with his teeth and Lilliana fisted his hair, guiding his head up to her mouth.
