tells her, but there’s something in his eyes that says his plan involves something dirty. “All right, Mom. Love you too. Give my boy a kiss for me.”
When he hangs up the phone, he pulls me into his arms. “My mom is worried about you. She wants to make sure you’re warm. My mind is suddenly conjuring up all sorts of different ways to make sure you’re… hot and bothered.”
Feeling bold once more, I lean up on my tiptoes, pressing my lips to his. When our eyes connect, I whisper, “Prove it.”
Chapter 9
Colton
Prove it. She has no idea what she’s saying. I’ve imagined my hands on her body hundreds of times. I’m also a man of many talents. I’ll make damn sure I’m utilizing my every talent, including those of my tongue and my cock. I have so many ways to keep her hot and bothered. She isn’t aware that she’s just given me permission to unleash the beast.
“I need to start a fire, and I need you completely naked.” I kiss her lips once more before forcing myself to step away from her. “We’re moving this party to the living room.”
“What can I do?”
“Blankets and pillows. There are extras in the hall closet.” I lean in for another kiss, just a quick peck. I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to her. Now that I know her lips are as soft and as sweet as I imagined them to be, I need them. All the time, I need them. “You have your phone for light?”
“Yes.” Her reply is breathless and has my cock making himself known in my black boxer briefs and it’s making it really fucking difficult to walk away from her right now.
“Pillows, blankets, and nothing against this flawless skin,” I remind her. I have to force myself to step back and turn away from her. I need to get a fire started, so we can extinguish the one coursing through my veins. I detour to the nightstand and grab my new, never opened box of condoms and walk past her to the living room. If I touch her again, we’ll freeze to death.
Ten minutes later, the fire is blazing, and the flames are already starting to warm up the room. The chill in the air was starting to set in; it’s well below freezing outside, so I knew it wouldn’t take long. The homeowner in me hopes they can get it back on quickly. You know, frozen pipes and all that. The man in me, well, he likes the idea of cuddling by the fire with a beautiful woman to stay warm. When I bought this place, I wasn’t sure I’d ever use the fireplace, but, in this moment, I’ve never been more grateful for its existence. Even more so, the firewood the previous owners left on the back porch. It’s as if all the stars are aligning tonight, and Hollis and I are destined to quell this ache we’re both feeling.
“I think this is good,” Hollis says.
I turn to face her, and she looks even more beautiful in the light of the fire. “Let me help you.” I stand and move the coffee table to the side of the room, and together we start laying out blankets on the floor, layer after layer, and then the pillows. I save an old quilt to cover us up with.
“Looks cozy,” Hollis comments as our eyes meet.
Instead of reminding her she’s supposed to be ridding herself of the small scraps of material adorning her skin, I stand here, watching her. Waiting for her to bare herself to me. She doesn’t disappoint as she reaches behind her and unhooks her bra. Arms at her sides, her hands are in fists as she stands before me in nothing but a pair of panties.
“You okay?” I ask, my voice gritty.
“Yes. It’s just… been a while for me.”
“Hollis, we don’t have to do this,” I say the words as my body screams for me to shut the hell up. I ignore my need for her. “I never want you to do anything that you don’t feel comfortable with.”
My words seem to relax her. “I want this, Colt. I want you.”
I nod. Sliding my hands into the waistband of my boxer briefs, I pull them off, letting them pool at my feet. No point in delaying the inevitable. Kicking them to the side, away from our makeshift bed, I stand here, stark naked in front of her. My cock bobs against
