Page 102 of Kentucky Nights
“It’s me. I’m here. You’re alright. I didn’t mean to scare you.” I kiss the top of her head. “You’re okay.”
Her heart rate slows when she hears my voice. Damn, that does wonders for my mind—to know that I calm her in the wake of fear. We’ve come so far since the beginning, when she was afraid of being in the same space as me.
Her trust in me will be something I cherish and protect for the rest of our lives.
“A fast jump and you can open those pretty eyes I love so much, okay?”
She presses her head against my chest. “Okay,” she says with complete trust.
In one leap, we are in the air and on the tailgate. “Open,” I state.
She gasps, climbing out of my arms to stand. “Oh my god,” her voice in riddled with awe. “You did this for me? This is beautiful.”
“It’s no five-star hotel but?—”
She throws her arms around me, her lips taking mine in a passionate kiss, silencing me before I can finish the sentence.
Her eyes sparkle in the eternal glow of the moon, the tears causing them to glisten. It’s wrong of me to say, but the way they shine reminds me of all the stars surrounding us. Even with tears, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.
“It’s better,” she informs me with a grateful smile. “This is romantic, Kentucky. It shows you were thinking of me. I’m in the middle of a wildflower field, surrounded by their fragrant scents. The stars are out by the billions, watching us from afar. The moon is full, and it seems so close, it’s almost as if I can touch it. I have you here, my mate, creating a night for me fullof thoughtfulness and love. That’s so much more than a fancy hotel, Kentucky. I’d choose this over a hotel any day, any night.”
I’ve never felt more loved than I do in this moment. Grasping the back of her neck, I pull her forward, sealing my lips over hers again. With every motion of our kiss, I fall more in love with her. The plump clouds give and mesh with mine.
My arm wraps around her waist just as the crickets begin to sing, giving us our own music. Our tongues tease one another; the once-loving kiss has turned into a heated frenzy.
Her hands skim down my chest, then up, beginning to unbutton my shirt.
I growl into her mouth, yanking my arms through the sleeves without breaking the kiss. I toss the button-up somewhere in the field behind me, forgetting to take my hat off. It tumbles off and lands somewhere behind me.
In the distance, the new horses neigh, and her smile stretches upon my lips.
“I think they are happy.” Her fingers begin to work on my jeans, unbuttoning and unzipping.
“Not as happy as me,” I add, ripping her shirt down the middle with my claw. I growl when I see her plum-colored lace bra pushing up and cradling her breasts the way I wish my hands were.
Purple is by far my favorite color on her against her skin tone. I keep saying it, but she’s so gorgeous.
“Your beauty goes beyond anything this world could create.”
“So does yours,” she whispers, kissing the middle of my chest with a type of affection I’ve never received before.
Her love takes care of me.
She goes to unbutton her shorts, and I stop her by placing my hand on top of hers. “Leave them on. They drive me fucking crazy.”
Her brows rise, and she snickers, finding my addiction to those little shorts funny.
“Oh? That’s funny? You driving me wild all night with your long, soft legs, is funny to you?” In one swift motion, I place her on her back, her head resting safely against one of the pillows.
“A little bit.”
“Well.” I kiss her lips, cheek, and neck. “I’m going to show you what happens when you taunt me all night.” Slipping a hand under her, I unhook her bra, then skim my fingers under the delicate fabric of the strap, hooking around her shoulders.
The moonlight shines onto her collarbone, illuminating the perfect place to kiss. Who am I to say no to the universe? I place a kiss there, her velvet soft skin a gift to my lips.
I kick my boots off, and she follows suit. Pulling away for just a moment, I tug my pants off, adding them to the field.
My cock slaps against my stomach, hard and smearing precome across my skin.
