I tell him, as seriously as I can with a smile on my face. “But for some reason when you say it, it doesn’t sound so bad.”
“Really, well why don’t you come over here and tell me how much you hate it,” he says, pulling me closer and wrapping his arms around my waist. Nestling back against him we sit in the darkness just watching the night pass by.
“I need to get you home. We need to get some sleep, we got a big day tomorrow,” he tells me. Standing he leans in and places a kiss on the edge of my lips then travels up my jawline causing my breath to hitch, fisting his jacket I shiver not sure if it’s the weather or the heat and electricity radiating between us.
“Here,” he says, wrapping his jacket around me.
Pulling up to the house I hop off the bike. “Go get some sleep and be ready by ten, okay?” he tells me, pulling me down for a goodnight kiss on my forehead. So gentle the only thing I could do is sigh.
“Goodnight, beautiful,” he whispers.
“Night,” I tell him and turn away heading inside.
Chapter Six
Kelly
After tying the blindfold, I help her into the car. “Any clue, please can I have just one?” she begs, fingering the bandana.
“It will require you to use your other senses,” I tell her, placing my hand on her thigh feeling her shiver under my touch.
The thought of her and the way she felt pressed against me on the back of my bike still had my body in high gear. Leaning over, I gently press my lips to her cheek loving the fact she can’t tell when I am coming toward her so my touches keep her on edge.
“You only need the blindfold for about twenty minutes,” I tell her, pulling out. When I Googled the address, I knew there was no way she’s ever been.
As we drive, I play the radio just to throw her off, I don’t want her to catch on and ruin anything. So, when the music started and she started singing along to the song, I couldn’t help but smile because she just looked so damn cute. It made it all the better because she couldn’t see me stare at her, lifting her fingers to my lips, I kiss each one separately then I place her palm against my lips and press a tender kiss to it. Returning her hand and mine to the inside of her thigh, I languidly run the tips of my fingers up her thigh, higher under her soft, cotton summer dress.
The hitch of her breath tells me she’s turned on, she shifts causing my fingers to graze her panties. “Tease,” I lean over, whispering.
Her lips parted, her breathing increased, she’s tightly wound, and I love it.
Turning into the Tuttle Orchards it was far more beautiful than I could ever imagine. The colors were so vibrant and breathtaking. The pictures on the internet don’t do it justice. Turning off the truck I look over at Cora who is smiling so bright and big I couldn’t help but take her face into my hands and kiss her so softly, which turns into something a little more fierce by the time she pulls away.
“What was that for?” she whispers, still inches away from my lips.
“Being too damn irresistible,” I tell her, getting out and opening the door for her.
“Two steps to the left, take a deep breath, what do you smell?” I instruct her, hoping she doesn’t get annoyed with my little game. Grabbing the stuff I stored in the bed of my truck I take her hand and start leading her away.
“I smell something earthy and sweet like a touch of honey,” she tells me as I watch her tilt her face up to the sun. It was a perfect day for this place.
“Are you ready for the blindfold to come off?” I ask just as eager as she must be.
“ABSOLUTELY!!” she cries out in happiness.
Placing the basket and blanket by the edge of the clearing, I walk over to her and pull the blindfold off and watch her reaction as her eyes take in the hundreds of sunflowers that take residence at the Tuttle Orchard.
“Happy early Valentine’s Day,” I whisper, watching as tears spring to her eyes. I have a momentary panic attack thinking maybe I should have checked with her but the smile that takes over her face, I know I can’t be mistaken.
“This is the most beautiful
