Page 2 of Harvesting with Hayes
The air was crisp and colored leaves scattered across the grass, the trees full of orange, brown, and red leaves. I loved watching the foliage change as we went from summer to fall and taking long drives to view the peak color changes.
I’d have to partake in some of the fun later.
As I turned to head back towards my set up, another stand caught my attention.
More like the gorgeous woman at the stand.
Without realizing, I pivoted and moved towards her instead, my feet suddenly having a mind of their own.
Her looks intrigued me, from her emerald green eyes to her long dark hair flowing down her back, to her sexy, thick, curvybody I suddenly wanted to do naughty things to.Very naughty things.
Jewelry lined both of her ears, and several bracelets and bangles adorned each wrist. Dangly pumpkins hung off her earlobes, and a bright smile lit up her perfect features.
I couldn’t help but stare, drinking in her every inch. Her floral sundress, long and flowy, burgundy in color, caused her eyes to pop more. The fabric showed off her every curve, and the neckline plunged downwards, revealing the creamy top swells of her breasts. I swallowed hard. If I didn’t look away soon, my cock would say hello and not in a good way.
Tearing my eyes away long enough to read her sign-Serena’s Jewels.
Ignoring the warning bells ringing in my head, I strode over to her. “Hey, nice jewelry you’ve got here.”
Her cheeks flushed. “Thanks.”
“Did you make all of this yourself?”
“Sure did. It’s all handmade.”
“Wow. Beauty and talent? I must’ve struck the lottery.”
Serena threw her head back in laughter, the sound doing crazy things to my insides. “Thank you for the compliment. We need more nice guys like you around here.”
“Don’t make ‘em in Tennessee like they do in Vermont, hmm?”
“Ah ha. Should’ve known. Not a local. What booth are you running? Or are you just here visiting?”
I pointed to my stand a few hundred feet away. “Spicy Apple. Specialize in spiked apple cider. Come by and try some later, okay?” I shot her a wink and loved watching the redness darken on her cheeks.
“Okay. Good luck today.”
“Thanks, Serena. It’s Hayes, by the way. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, too. I almost asked how you knew my name but duh, my business name.” Serena snorted. “Don’t mind me. Half the time I’m laughing at myself.”
“Yeah, maybe because all you do is make a fool of yourself.” A man came up beside us, a goofy grin on his face.
Shit, of course she has a boyfriend. Always too good to be true.
“Mmhmm, look who’s talking.” Serena quipped. “Hayes, this is my younger brother, Derek.”
Brother? Phew! Saved by the family.
“Hey, Derek. Nice to meet you. See you around.” I nodded towards them both and headed back to my booth, the festival opening its doors any minute now.
As I finished a few last-minute tasks, my mind and eyes kept wandering over to Serena. I had a direct view of her, and I couldn’t pull my eyes away for more than a minute.
Remember when I said distractions were a good thing?
I definitely didn’t expect one to show up in the form of curves, beauty, and an irresistible smile.
But one look and I was ready to give this woman my heart.
