“Elle,” he warned.
“Just a little more,” she mumbled as her hands adventured over his body.
“Kiss me.”
He made the command, yet he helped her by turning his head. She latched on to his mouth, kissing him like she had a point to prove. Like she wanted to let him know she lusted after him as much as he craved her.
Benny ate at her mouth, greedy for her taste. His hands roamed her body, memorizing what made her whimper into their kiss and what made her pull completely away to cry out.
“I need you,” she confessed.
And he needed her, too, but he had a plan. Benny leaned away as she tried to kiss him again.
“What?” She pouted.
“Tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
Lorielle was confused, but she wouldn’t be after tomorrow.
He kissed her. “Yes, tomorrow. Then I’ll give you everything you need and more.”
She stared at him with so much hunger in her eyes. He almost wanted to reconsider, but it would be more meaningful if they waited.
“Let’s go shower.” He stood with her in his arms and headed out of the shed to the house.
“I’ll have to wash your hair. I got clay in it.”
“Let’s do it. I hope you know how to braid.”
When morning came,Benny was excited for her to see where they would stay for the next two days.
The whole ride there was perfect. They talked, laughed, sang, and when they stopped for food, she fed him his. It was an intimate time that he adored, so he was soaking it all in.
When Benny turned into the driveway and parked, Lorielle gasped.
“Is this a…” Her voice trailed off when she saw the sign. “Is this really a castle?”
“Yes. Welcome to Castle Ladyhawke.”

Sometimes it’s Wrong. Sometimes it’s Right.
“It’s beautiful,” Lorielle declared.
The stone… The attention to detail to make this place look like a modern castle was absolutely breathtaking. They were among nature with vast amounts of trees and mountains that went on for miles. The stone paths leading to gardens and waterfalls were a special touch she enjoyed the most.
“Wait until you see the inside.”
She didn’t know where Benny had dragged her off to, but all she knew was that she wanted to be with him. She trusted him and she had done so without thinking. That was a scary thought, but she didn’t dwell. Lorielle vowed she would stay in the moment.
Once they got out of the car, Benny led her to the door. After going through the security measures to unlock the door, he pushed it open to a wonderful view. The inside was massive and just as majestic as the outside. She was amazed by the grand spiral staircase to her left.
Lorielle rushed to see where it led when the words on a floor sign stand caught her attention. Her heart hammered in her chest. “Why does this sign say Mr. and Mrs. Collins?”
