“If I wanted to seduce someone, this might be a good place. Also a good place for a murder.” He turned back to look at me with a creepy expression, and I cracked up, like totally fell on my ass on the blanket and rolled around on the ground laughing.
“I’m serious! I could slice you up out here any no one would find the body.” He dropped down next to me and wrapped me in his arms.
I instantly melted into him, enjoying the feeling of his body cradling mine. “Thank you, Kelly. I’m sorry.”
“No, I’m just glad you said something. This is good.” He kissed me softly, and I stretched my body out against his.
“Can we stay out here forever, Kelly? I don’t want to go back.”
He exhaled a big sigh. “I know. This is a great place to hide. I wish I could take it all away from you, doll. I’d do anything to see you smile like this more often.”
I knew he would, but he needed to take care of himself, too. “I want you to start spending some nights at home, babe. You look so tired. I know you’re trying to help me, and I so appreciate it, but you need your rest.”
He’d been helping with middle of the night restroom runs and then getting up to run before work, then working ten-hour shifts and finishing up many nights with Manny at the gym.
“Is that what you want? I don’t want to crowd you,” he said with a sad expression.
Oh no, I wasn’t having that.
“No way, babe. I love having you in my bed every night.” I stopped for a moment, kind of shocked that had come out of my mouth. “I never thought I’d feel that way, but yeah. I do. I just don’t—”
I loved it when he made his feelings so viscerally known. The dude kissed the hell out of me and had my clothes off before I could even finish the thought I’d had. He pulled his shirt off over his head, and I just paused to run my hands over his perfection. He had a few moles on his chest and back that I’d discovered elicited such nice sounds from him when I sucked on them. We’d given up using condoms with each other. It seemed silly since we were really making a go of this, and I trusted him that he wasn’t going to be out sniffing tail. Skin-to-skin Kelly was the best feeling in the whole world, and I was so ready to get down to business. Sneaking around Gran’s house was fun for the first five minutes. I needed some serious lovin’ from this man.
“Abra.”
“Yes, Kelly,” I replied in my silly deep voice.
He was poised above me, ready to rock my world, when his mood shifted.
“What is it, babe?” I asked, concerned about his change in mood.
“Do you really know how much I love you?” he asked pleadingly. His tone startled me.
“I know you love me. I love you, too,” I answered, worrying that wasn’t enough for him.
He frowned down at me and smoothed my hair back.
“Good,” he said, finally lowering his lips to mine just as he thrust into me. “I want you, Abra. I want all of you.” He thrust hard into me with every statement. “You’re mine now. You belong to me, and I intend to drive that point home.”
Yes, Kelly, I’m yours,was my last coherent thought before I held on for dear life. Kelly was different today. He was almost rough, desperate with his touch. He turned me over and covered me with his body. He used those big hands to position me wherever he wanted to. I gave everything to him. I felt like my body’s responses were orchestrated solely by him. He wasn’t hesitant like he could be sometimes. I didn’t know where his head was, but I also didn’t have the cognizance to ask. In the afternoon sun, Kelly owned me, heart and soul, and I never wanted it any other way again.

I kicked myself the entire way back to the barn. Abra was too sore to sit astride Ginger, so we walked back. Slowly. I apologized over and over, but she didn’t seem to want an apology.
“Don’t you fucking dare apologize for what you just did. I’ve never had anyone…just don’t.” She was quiet, but I didn’t feel her pulling away like I thought she would. Instead, she seemed to finally get what I’d been trying to tell her all this time.
I wasn’t playing around with her. I wanted every part of her, and this afternoon, I took it. Over and over.
It was dusk by the time we untacked Ginger and groomed her before putting her away. Abra seemed to be enjoying her, but I could tell she was nervous. So could Ginger. I would need to work with both of them for sure.
“I need to go talk to my grandmother. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all. After meeting Grandpa Bob, I’m dying to know what she’s like.”
I couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped. “She’s tough. She’s fun. I don’t know. You’ll see.”
We climbed the steps to the main house, and I gestured for her to enter before me. I hoped the completely sated look was gone from my face as we greeted my grandparents, who were sitting in the living room.
