friends since we were kids. He should have given me the benefit of the doubt. He wasn’t compassionate at all. How could he insult you without engaging in a simple conversation? We’ll run our business, but we aren’t friends anymore.”
“You two were bachelors for years. It may take time for him to adjust to the new change in your life.”
Collin rubbed his brow. “Still no excuse to blatantly disrespect you.”
“Who else will be unhappy about our relationship?” I slipped the sunglasses off his face.
“Dinner smells good,” he said, evading the question.
“Collin, answer the question.”
“Maybe my father.”
I swung my legs toward him. “We’ll get through it, Collin.”
He leaned over, peeking under my dress. “Why aren’t you wearing panties?”
I placed his sunglasses in his inside jacket pocket. “Because I didn’t wear them around my house after a shower or bath. You said this was my home, too, right?”
I stood and tilted my head.
His brows jumped. “Yeah, baby of course.” His big, strong hands pushed my dress above my waist. Collin’s lips pressed against my hairy mound.
I massaged his shoulders. “Collin, I need to check on the salmon,” I breathed.
His tongue slipped between my lips as he gripped my ass harder.
“Collin, you’re torturing me.”
His brown eyes sparkled. “I love torturing you. The couple of times you sat around your house without your panties, I thought it was because you wanted me to suck your pussy until you came hard in my mouth.”
My fingers slid through his silky moussed brown hair. “Both,” I whimpered.
“Open your legs, Kara.” His lids lowered.
I did as I was told.
“You taste so good, my rugged princess.”
The oven beeped. “Collin, the…food.”
He sucked my clit, and my body quaked.
Collin wouldn’t let up until every nerve ending in my body erupted with pleasure.
“Oh fuck. I’m coming,” I screamed at the top of my lungs.
He groaned and growled against my pussy, dragging out my delicious orgasm. My fingers clawed at his back.
“Mine always, Kara.” He lifted his head and flashed a devilish smile. His clean-shaven face glistened. He wore my cum on his face proudly.
“Collin, take me to the kitchen, before our food burns.”
He retrieved his cell from his pocket, then pressed a button. “Stove off,” he stated into the phone.
My jaw slacked. “Really?”
“We talked about all the items the remote controlled. I’ll download the app on your phone too.” He stood, taking me with him. His strong arms cradled me close. “Tonight, we’re going out. I’ll select a dress I’d like to see on this hot body.”
“That means stilettos,” I smacked my lips.
“Yup.”
My nose fell into the crook of his neck. His woodsy cologne made my pussy ache. Collin was my wet dream come to life. I was a lucky woman.
**P**
The spaghetti strap silver dress hugged the curves that had been hidden away for months under flannel, jeans, and thick coats.
Long spiral curls dipped down my back.
My legs rested in his lap in the back seat of the Bentley. He caressed my thigh.
“Who did you play with growing up since you were the only child?”
“I have lots of cousins who live right here in California. My mother has four brothers and two sisters. So, I was never bored. My cousin Adam lived in Florida. He moved here a few years ago. You’ll meet him soon. My extended family will love you.”
“Collin, you don’t have to fight everyone who has something negative to say about me.”
“You’re my woman. Fuck them. They’ll respect you or else.”
“Collin, we’re an interracial couple. The majority of the world will be against us. They’ll say things like I’m a gold digger. Or, they’ll say we don’t fit together.”
“Been thinking about this a lot lately, huh?” He peeked at me.
“No. Before we left Talkeetna, my dad, and I had a talk. He told me the truth, so I’d be prepared for the big ugly world. Was I expecting to be disrespected by your best friend? No.”
I slipped my finger across his pink lips. “Your tan has deepened since we’ve arrived.”
“There’s a special place I like to sit on the roof on the weekends. I guess you can say I like to sun bathe just a little.” He winked.
I chuckled. “Sounds like you missed the sun rays and the heat.”
He laughed. “Yeah, I did.”
“We’ve arrived,” Harry stated over the intercom.
My door opened a minute later. Harry helped me out of the car. “Will you be close by?” I glanced into his green eyes.
“Yes, I will.”
Collin stepped behind me. “What are you two talking about?”
“You, Collin.” I threaded our fingers.
His brows
