| Chapter Twelve The night air was warm and filled with a sweet smell of freshly mown hay. The stars above shone brightly, and the full moon glowed high in the dark sky. We walked past the big barn and made our way to another, smaller barn. I opened the door and we stepped inside. Quietly, Kevin slid the door closed and I savored the silence. The walls and closed doors of the smaller barn shut out the music and laughter from the big barn up the path. “Come here,” he whispered as he pulled me to him. I went willingly into his arms and lifted my face for the kiss I knew was coming. His right arm went around my shoulders and his left arm went around my waist, pulling me in tight, our bodies flush against one another. He lowered his lips and I went up on tiptoe to meet him halfway. My mouth dropped open in a welcome and he thrust his tongue inside, sweeping the insides quickly. I tasted him on my tongue and I groaned. I felt edgy, as if my skin was too tight. I couldn’t seem to get close enough to him and I pressed closer. A low growling sound rose from his throat and I felt his body harden low against mine. A fine trembling started low in my stomach and quickly gained speed as the kiss deepened and his hands roamed over me. I wanted more, so much more and I whispered his name in a quiet plea. He pulled away gently, and his eyes opened to a half-lidded state. His eyes were an emerald green, dark with desire. My knees felt weak and I felt like I would crumble to the floor. As if he could read my mind, he bent and placed an arm behind my knees and stood up. My arm went around his neck and I hung on for dear life. I knew where this was going and though I knew it was probably a mistake, I threw caution to the wind and lifted my head a fraction of an inch and nuzzled the side of his neck with my lips. His sharp inhalation echoed through the quiet barn and he tightened his grip on me. He walked quickly to an empty stall and set me down. “I’ll be right back,” he whispered as he caressed my face with the back of his fingers. In seconds he was back with a couple of blankets. He spread one over top of the straw and laid the other at the bottom. He turned to me slowly and watched my reaction as his fingers went to the buttons at the front of my shirt. My body trembled in anticipation as one by one the buttons were slid free. The back of his fingers brushed the swell of my breast and I jumped. It felt like I had been electrocuted. I lowered my eyes to his hand and I watched as he brought his other hand up and pushed the fabric aside. “Beautiful,” he whispered as he pushed the shirt off my shoulders and down my arms, letting if fall to the fresh straw. His hands slid up my arms and then gently cupped my aching breast. I whimpered softly as my back arched, pushing me closer to his strong capable hands. His sure fingers closed over me and proceeded to roll my hard nipples between them. My head fell backward, baring my neck and he lowered his lips. At first contact I half moaned, half giggled as his hair brushed my skin. He started to withdraw, but my arms circled his neck keeping him where he was. His lips moved down the column of my neck, over my collarbone and down to the swell of flesh that peaked out over the satin and lace cups of my bra. He drew his tongue along the edge and my knees went weak all over again. Carefully, he lowered me to the blanket, lying beside me as he swiftly unhooked the clasp of my bra. My breathing was gaining speed in anticipation, as he lowered his head to the hard little buds. When his tongue darted out and flicked over the top of them. I gasped and my back arched as my fingers wound through his hair. “Easy,” he crooned softly as he gently sucked my flesh into his mouth. “Oh God,” I cried out. The things I was feeling were overwhelming. Nothing and no one had ever made me feel like this before and I suddenly had the urge, the need to feel his skin beneath my hands. Frantically, I tugged on his shirt, pulling it free from the waistband of his jeans. I slid my hands up his back and felt his muscles tense and relax as I explored. I needed more, more contact with his skin and I moved my hands to the front of his shirt and quickly unbuttoned it. I slowly ran my fingers over the hard wall of his stomach and felt him suck in a deep breath. My hands moved higher and my fingers found the little brown discs, rolling them between my forefinger and thumb. He threw his head back as a moan escaped and I rose up on my elbows to press my lips to the center of his chest. My tongue darted out and licked a line down the middle of his chest, tasting the saltiness of his skin. The low animal sounds coming from the back of his throat assured me he was enjoying what I was doing and I moved to treat him to the same pleasure he had given me. My lips closed over his nipple and I gently suckled him. His hands fisted in my hair, alternately pulling me closer and pushing me away. His hands released my hair and skimmed down my sides, coming to rest at my hips. Slowly, his fingers traced along the top of my jeans. I sucked in my breath as his fingers reached for the button. Quickly it was released and then his hands were sliding inside, pushing my jeans and my lace panties down. My body burned with every touch, every caress as his hands ran up the insides of my thighs. “Kevin,” I murmured, wanting and needing the heat that was racing through my body. “I’m right here,” he whispered, as his hand reached my most private place. The feel of his fingers skimming over that sensitive spot sent me skyrocketing. A loud moan escaped my lips and Kevin lifted up and closed his lips over mine, silencing the moans of pleasure, while he continued to torment me with his deft fingers. I felt myself flying closer to the edge and my body began to clench as the first waves of pleasure swept over me. I cried out and wrapped my arms firmly around his shoulders as he carried me over the edge. “That’s it, just let go,” he whispered in my ear, his hot breath heating the skin beneath my ear. I laid still in his arms as I floated back to reality. I turned my head and met his lips with a gentle kiss. The flames that he had just put out ignited again and I whimpered. “I need you,” I whispered as my fingers reached for his waistband and quickly undid the button and lowered the zipper. I closed my fingers around his hardness and stroked him softly. I only managed two strokes before his hand closed around mine. “Stop,” he whispered raggedly. “I won’t last long like that.” I understood and reluctantly let go. I watched as he quickly shed the rest of his clothes and then reached for a foil packet. Blood was singing in my veins and I desperately wanted to feel him inside me. He knelt above me, nudging my knees apart with one of his. No words were spoken as he guided himself inside me. I felt my body clench around him in greeting and I sighed in relief. His length and hardness felt so good inside of me and as he began to move, I instinctively moved with him. I wanted him to feel the way he made me feel and I wanted to share the experience with him. He began to move faster and faster, and my body strained to meet him thrust for thrust. I felt my reaction to him start to grow in intensity and I cried out as intense pleasure swept over me and carried me on a high tide. Moments and two thrusts later, Kevin cried out his release. His big body shuddered above mine as he spilled his seed. He rested his head on my shoulder and our ragged breathing echoed loudly in the silent barn. I didn’t and couldn’t regret what had passed between us, even though I knew he would be leaving soon and I probably would never see him again. It had been the most beautiful experience in my life and I would forever hold it close to my heart. I’m not sure how long we lay, but when we heard voices outside the main doors, we scrambled into our clothes. The door never opened and the voices drifted away, but the mood had already changed. We walked back along the path to the big barn and joined our friends for the last few dances before we headed back to the ranch. CCC Index Chapter Thirteen Main Page |
