Wanting More(67)

I shifted so I could kiss her salty lips again. The barn was hot and it was the wrong place to have sex after a fresh shower, but nothing was going to stop me from touching Amy, not even the possibility of passing out from a heat stroke. “Don’t go back. Just stay with me.”

I felt her legs loosening as she slipped down to the ground. It took her a second to steady herself and fix her dress. “I can’t do that and you know it.”

“I ain’t goin’ to beg you to stay, but just know it’s what I want.”

She picked up the bag that held Bella’s present and started walking toward me again. “Conner, I love you, I swear I do, but we talked about this. I just need a month at the most.”

I fixed her hair from where it had fallen down to her face. “I hate waitin’ to be with you. Do you know how hard it is for me to walk in that house and know you’re there but I can’t touch you? I want everyone to know how we feel about each other.”

“Please don’t say anything. You have to go in there and pretend we mean nothing to each other. If you can’t do that then I’ll have to leave and I really don’t want to miss Bella’s birthday party. I love being around your family.”

“I can pretend that there’s nothin’ between us, but it’s you that’s goin’ to have a problem. When you go inside don’t tell me you’re not goin’ to think about me havin’ you out in this barn.” I reached down and kissed her, keeping my lips there.

“I’m not.” Her eyes were closed and I knew she was lying.

“How about how much you want me licking that sexy pussy of yours? You’re not going to be thinkin’ of that?” I licked her bottom lip and watched as her eyes stayed closed.

She moaned and smiled. “That’s just mean. Now it’s all I’ll be thinking about.”

“Good, because you drive me wild and you taste like heaven. Get in there and put on a straight face. My family is tough to fool, so I wish you the best of luck.” I smacked her on the ass and sent her on her way. “Love you, Blaze.”

She smiled and shook her head as she exited the barn. At the very last second she poked her head back in. “Love you too.”





Chapter 30

Amy

I kept promising Conner that we’d be together in a month’s time, but it turned out that I needed a lot more than one month.

Rick had become a new man. He’d stopped drinking, started going to meetings, which he took me with him, and he even started taking care of the house. He got a job working the midnight shift at a shipping company right outside of town. It was some warehouse that produced and distributed some diet shake.

His new schedule helped me to keep up with my part of the deal of trying to mend our marriage, since I didn’t have to see him all the time. At first he didn’t try to be physical, but as the weeks passed, I could tell he wanted to be a real married couple. I kept using the excuse that I wanted to go slow, because of what had happened before, but his frustration level was growing and I needed him to trust me.

I hadn’t been with Conner since Bella’s birthday party and it had been almost two months. Conner and I still talked every single day and we snuck little lunch meetings here and there, but I refused to have sex with him until I was finished with my little plan.

He wasn’t happy about it.

Since Rick was up my ass when he was off, he purposely drug me all over town on the weekends. I will never forget being in that grocery store and seeing Conner and Ty pushing two carts with a twin in each one. Ty waved to me and turned around to say something to Conner. He got a big smile on his face, but it disappeared as soon as he saw Rick coming around the corner.

I knew that Ty knew that Conner and I were more than friends. I wasn’t sure how much he knew, but it was enough for me to worry. In this particular circumstance, Ty walked out of the isle like it was no big deal, while Conner stayed back watching me closely.

Rick walked up behind me and reached a box off the shelf. He put his arm around me to place the box in the cart and smacked my ass and as he pulled away he kissed me right on the lips. I could see the pain in the Conner’s eyes and I immediately wanted to vomit. If I went running to him, all of my time would have been wasted, so I stayed back and watched him push his cart out of the aisle. I wanted to cry, but had to pretend that I never saw Conner, just in case Rick did.

Thankfully, Rick never noticed that the guy in the baseball hat and hoodie was the man of my dreams, but I had. I also knew that he wasn’t going to be able to deal with what he’d just saw.

We were able to finish our shopping without seeing him again, but the damage was done.
