“Do it! Come for me, kitten. Give me all that sweet juice.” She moves her hips against my touch, and within seconds, she’s moaning low in my ear as an orgasm tears through her curved frame and leaves her convulsing against my hand.

My cock is so fucking hard. How the hell am I going to go on with the day like this didn’t happen? I need to touch her, feel her, spread her wide, and figure out why my body is having such a strong reaction to her.

A breeze blows through the passage, carrying the blended scent of nearby eateries as I pull out of her tight little pussy and lick my fingers clean.

“Damn. How the hell do you taste like wild berries?”

Eyes wide, she stares at me. “You’re insane.”

“And you like it.”

She bites back a grin. “I do.”

“So then tell me you’ll see me again tomorrow.”

“If I said no, would you come anyway?” I can tell she wants to smile wider, but she’s holding back.

I nod.

“Okay then.” She grins and pushes out of my arms, tugging her leggings back into place. “No.”

My cock grows harder, and though I know I can’t tear off her clothes and claim her right here in the street for all to see, it’s all I’m going to be thinking about until tomorrow.

Chapter Three

Daphne

“You look a little sad, sweetheart. You okay?” Mrs. Robinson stares at me with downturned brows as she scratches Rocky’s butt. Somehow, he’s got everyone thinking he’s the sweetest dog to ever live, but only I know better.

“Yeah.” I sit on the porch swing and attempt to gather myself before turning toward her. “Can I tell you something… private? Like, really private?”

She nods and lands her wrinkled hand on top of mine. “Of course you can! What’s got you troubled?”

“Do you know Boone…” I’m embarrassed now that I don’t even know his last name.Like seriously, that’s not even a prerequisite now? I really need to work on myself.“He used to work at the police station. I guess he trains police dogs.”

“Boone! Of course, I know Boone. He’s my breakfast buddy. Great guy. Classic cop, always showing up with pastries.”

“Yeah.” I clear my throat, thinking about the way he touched me earlier—so animalistic, so wild. I’ve never felt anything like that before. It was like hehadto have me, like he was desperate, like there was no way in hell he was walking away without tasting me. “What do you know about him?”

“Well,” she stares down at the boards on the porch as a soft wind blows across the yard, “his brother is the town planner that’s holding all this playground stuff up. I also know they lost their dad to the war and their mother spent a lot of time drinking, so they raised themselves for the most part. I tried to help where I could, but no one can replace your mom and dad. I think that made the boys harder than they needed to be. Did he do something to upset you?”

“No, ugh, he actually kind of defended me this morning. Gary came poking around on the trail and Boone stood up for me. We had this long talk over tea afterward, and then he…” My cheeks turn dark red.‘He pinned me down for a kiss in the alleyway. It was crazy! I’ve never felt anything like it in my life.’I decide not to tell her the exact details of all that happened. “I think there’s a connection. Is that weird? I mean, it’s been a while since I felt that wanted. Even married, Gary never desired me like that. I… but maybe it’s weird and—”

“Sweetheart,” she pushes back a strand of silver hair, “did you enjoy yourself?”

I nod and bite back a grin as the memory of his touch sweeps over my body again.

“Then it’s okay. Sure, Boone and Brooks are aggressive guys, but deep down, they’re good people. I feel bad they haven’t settled down yet.”

I drag in a deep breath and let it out slowly as the wooden wind chime on the porch rattles. I’ve always liked wooden chimes. The way the hollow wood sounds knocking against itself, it’s a soothing sound that reminds me of the forest.

“Yeah…”

“What is it, sweetheart?”

“I don’t know. I… I don’t want to be stupid, ya know? It’s been so long since a man has shown me this kind of affection. I don’t want to fall too hard too fast, and get hurt.”

“The best things in life happen in a heartbeat.” She squeezes my hand. “Love shouldn’t be over thought, honey. Let yourself feel. Let your body tell you want you need. You’ll be happier that way.”
