We stared at each other in silence for a long tiers that were still tracing the lush outline of his very kissable ood for the day We can pull off at the next exit and find a hotel to crash in"

I nodded in agree I had to know before we te back on the bike "Hey, Church" My voice was husky and rough in the darkness that surrounded us

"Hey, Dixie" His always gruff voice rasped like sandpaper across my overly sensitized skin

I shifted my hand to his cheek and lifted the other one up to his thickly e I needed to lift myself up onto the tips ofto runted a little as I leaned fully into him so that ere chest to chest and al to risk my neck on the back of his bike with all the crazies out here on the road, not knohat could happen to either of us fro what it was like to kiss hi to knohat his ue I was going to le nuance and every little sound because when I went back to Denver this kiss and theto have to last me a lifetime

Church

She kissed me

Her lips touched ht that seemed determined to chase the darkness inside ofainst one all in The attraction between us was only going to end one ith h one another, so a real kiss with tongues and teeth and grabbing hands was inevitable, especially if she was holding the door wide open in invitation I was already struggling with the friend thing and this wasn’t helping at all I stood there, holding her, feeling her as she rubbed her mouth over mine, the barest hint of pressure as she took a taste, as she feathered her lips againstto memorize the shape, the feel, the flavor of theularly softest touch I’d ever experienced and yet it had the power to make my knees weak and my blood pop with a desire so sharp it felt like it could pierce right through my skin

Her hand cradled s I was feeling This thing that lived between us was hungry and tired of being ignored It buzzed around us, electric and hot, refusing to be cooled by the chill in the night air that surrounded us If eren’t careful the passion that was starving and needy between us would consu ged disenchantether it couldn’t and wouldn’t last I didn’t want any part of ht chasedto have any kind of hand in dilowed

Her breasts pressed into the center of my chest as she leaned more fully into me and I could feel the pointed peaks of her nipples stab into my skin The sensation made my dick twitch behind my zipper and had all the available blood that was still abovesouth I’d always liked the way Dixie was built She was on the shorter side, but every single part of her small frame was curved and lush She looked like a wo to watch yourself She was delicate but in no way did she coile or breakable She looked like she could take everything I had to give her, all the pent-up longing, all the nights of frustration I spent hard and alone, all the denied hunger that o back for seconds and thirds because I knew there was no way I was going to have o

There was so much of her to experience, and I wanted to knohat all of it felt like, tasted like, sounded like I wanted to watch her coet her in, and then I wanted to find some new ones, ones no man had ever had her in before, and watch her coot her she would let me have her in ways she hadn’t let anyone else Her eyes, so pretty and dark, made me all kinds of prole one of the I could pro the invisible line

She ran the tip of her nose along the edge of my jaw and that little nuzzledown all the walls I’d so carefully built up around us in order to keep both of us safe She didn’t have any clue the kind of da loudly in the back of my mind I knew the ways in which I could wreck the women in reen and often unforgiving Earth that I would subject her to that I barely survived the loss of the last woman I loved, I knew if I let Dixie sneak her way insideleft of me There wouldn’t be anyplace left for me to run

I hated that she still had her helmet on I wanted my hands in that wild mane of hair I wanted to hold her close and let ood it felt to have her in ether in the dark for so long We fit just right She was s herself where she wanted to be and the side benefit of all her stretching and grabbing on to me meant that every soft and sweet part of her was pressed fully and tightly against every hard and hot part of me Her body yielded to mine and I swore I would never survive if it did the sa underneath h ere standing up, fully clothed on the side of a highway There was no wayto be able to withstand the sensation overload that would follow getting Dixie naked and my hands and mouth on every part of her creamy, freckled skin
