thought we’d just go to sleep,” I said, yawning as I stroked his chest. “It is kind of late.”
“Yeah. But, I don’t know what you’re going to decide tomorrow morning,” he said softly as he kissed the tip of my nose. “So I want to make sure that I show you everything about this place that makes it special, why I love it.”
He stroked the side of my arm and I gazed at him. His eyes were full of emotion I didn’t recognize, and I just nodded.
“Okay. Sure. Whatever you want to do.”
“Well, what I want to do right now is fuck you again,” he chuckled as he reached down and rubbed my clit lightly. I could feel my body trembling. “But,” he said, as he moved his fingers away and I sighed, “That will come later, okay?”
“You’re just trying to tease me,” I said, as I glared at him. “No fair.”
“Hey honey, all’s fair in love and war.” He winked and laughed, and then sat up. “Come on, let’s have a quick shower together, and then I’m going to show you around the lake. Okay?”
“Okay,” I said and followed him to the shower.
I felt warm and comforted, and I knew I was in a whole lot of trouble. I was falling in love with Connor. I had just slept with Connor, and I had no idea what I was going to do next.
Chapter 28
“Do you like grilled cheese sandwiches?” Connor studied my face as we sat on the edge of his bed. I was wearing one of his long T-shirts and a pair of sweatpants. I nodded as I gazed at him, both of our hair still wet. My legs were starting to ache slightly. We’d made love again in the shower and it had been just as amazing as the first time. “Are you hungry?” He asked. I nodded slightly.
“Why?”
“I was thinking maybe I’d make us some grilled cheese sandwiches. I might even have some soup in the cupboard. Do you like tomato or chicken noodle better?”
“I think with grilled cheese, tomato sounds good.” I grinned at him, feeling a little bit shy.
“Good, I like tomato too,” he said and leaned forward and kissed me. “You can stay here and I’ll bring the food in, in a couple of minutes, okay?”
“Okay. I thought there was stuff you wanted to show me?”
“Yeah, after we eat, I figured we could go for a walk around the lake. It’s really beautiful late at night and there’s a certain spot where you can see the reflection of the moon in the water and it just blows your mind.”
“Sounds good,” I said, and leaned back in his bed. “Now go and make me my food,” I bossed him and he laughed.
“You sound like you could get used to that Ms. Bossy Boots.”
“I’m not a Bossy Boots, it’s not like I called you my man slave who needs to go and cook for me.” I grinned.
“Oh yeah, what else do you want me to do for you?”
“Nothing right now, Connor.” I shook my head. “I’m a little sore. It’s been awhile since, you know.”
“Really?” He grinned, looking happy. “Well, I can tell you that I enjoyed it.” He winked at me. “I hope I didn’t make you too sore. I know I’m a big guy.”
“Whatever, Connor,” I said and rolled my eyes. “Shoo, go and make me my grilled cheese.”
“You really are a Bossy Boots. Do I have to put you over my lap and spank you?” He walked toward the bed and I hit him in the arms.
“Go on.” I laughed. And then he chuckled and walked out of the room. I lay there for a few seconds, running my hands down my legs and staring up at the ceiling. I looked out of the window and at the night sky, it was so peaceful and calm here, nothing like the city. My body felt spent. I was exhausted, satiated but exhausted. I loved being here with Connor. In a way I never wanted to leave, never wanted to go back to reality. I wish I could freeze time and let this moment be the rest of my life. I’d be happy in this moment, lying in his bed, wearing his clothes, still feeling the touch and taste of him on me. I took a deep breath as I rolled over and buried my face into his pillow. I could smell him and I loved it. I loved the smell of him. It
