Enough delay, get your ass in there!

I scraeto check my reflection in the rear-viewlot in quick strides,a crazy dance in my stomach

I push open the Tavern doors and step inside It’s early afternoon, so the place is pretty e pool, and a few people eating at booths along the wall I sweep n of hi today, I just know I can’t wait a single more minute to see him: I’oing to shatter into a thousand pieces

I walk deeper into the roo around And then I see hi some food to the corner booth I freeze, every nerve in ht of his every muscle of his broad shoulders, and his worn jeans drape perfectly froh to reduce ht to catch my breath

Then he turns and sees , like he can’t believe it’s really es His eyes darken, and the look he gives h ht to s buckle, as Emerson abandons the dishes on a table and crosses the floor towards , purposeful strides I open rabs my arm and pulls me after him towards the back of the room I let out a yelp of surprise, but he doesn’t slow, he doesn’t relax his grip on ed e room at the end of the hallway

He slaainst the wall, still holding asp to catch th of his body is hot and hard against mine, his face just inches from me I can feel the pulse of his heartbeat, and heat of his breath on asp of air Even in the dark of the rooht of a thousand fires raging, threatening to consu the question he asked just two nights ago Then, I didn’t have the strength to answer, but this ti deep into the last reserve of control I have and breathefrom my lips in a moan of pure, desperate desire

"Yes"

Emerson’s eyes flash with victory, and then there’s no ti the distance between us, his lips co kiss

I fall, co, and I ansith all I have to give, reaching hungrily to tanglehiainst ues entwined as we plunge deeper into the intoxicating sensation of this kiss I have no boundaries any me back from the de low in the center of me My brsts are hot and swollen under ainst h h of hi trail down the tender skin of my neck as his hands rove wildly acrossit over his head as he rips ainst roan of pleasure

Oh God I slide asping as his tongue dances across ently squeeze andthe flimsy fabric of my bikini top aside until his one My head falls back, drowning froue and the firently licks and nibbles at ainst him, and then he finally he closes his lips around n cry rips from my lips, but he doesn’t stop, he just turns his attention tothe sensitive nub until I’ desire I’ out a desperate plea I feel throbbing to the very core of me

Emerson lifts his head His eyes are two dark pools of desire, a clouded night’s sky He catches his breath a moment, unsteady, and then drops a kiss on my lips Sweet Alrabsme this time so ainst the cold concrete

I gasp, ainst e of hiainst the small of my back I can’t move, or see the expression on his face, only hear the hoarse groan Emerson sounds as he twists a handful oftrail along the curve of ainst hi every minute of it His hands roa at the tender flesh before they slide down ive way, and I sag back against hiers slip beneath the waistband ofa deter center of me
