Red: And don’t come back unless you’ve made Dee happy. You can take THAT in whatever way you want!
With a chuckle, I slide my phone back into my pocket and turn around, my breath catching as Dee emerges. She's a vision in a flowing crimson dress that hugs her curves in all the right places and falls to just above her knee. Beneath she has thick black stockings on and her favorite boots on her feet, her soft caramel skin glowing in the dimming light.
I step towards her, my eyes unable to tear away from the sight before me.
Dee's gaze meets mine, filled with anticipation and affection that I can't believe I get to relish in. This magnificent woman is all mine. She fell for me without knowing that we were always destined to be together. That knowledge means more to me than I ever thought. Who would've thought I’d flip my whole approach to the Mountain's call on a dime when my turn came? Maybenowis when I’m supposed to dive right in…
I extend my hand towards her, soaking up the satisfying feeling that fills me when she laces her fingers with mine. “You ready?”
She tilts her face to mine and beams up at me. “For a lifetime with you? Absolutely.”
“Damn, Dee. You can’t be sayin’ things like that to me right now.”
She leans into me, a knowing grin curving her mouth. “Why not?”
“Cause it makes me think I’m dreamin’ and scared I’ll wake up and none of this will be real,” I answer honestly.
Her eyes go half-lidded as she melts against me, her hands moving to my shoulders. “Tobes?”
“Yeah?”
She leans up on her toes and kisses the hinge of my jaw. “Let’s go to dinner because right now it’smethinkin' I won't be able to hold back and you really want us to go to dinner, which means I do too. Memories, remember?”
As I walk back out to my truck with this beautiful woman on my arm, I wonder why I could have ever doubted that gut feeling I had the moment I laid eyes on her.
Because now that I have her, Iknowhow the rest of my life is gonna be. And ain’t that the best damn feeling in the world.
The driveback up the mountain after dinner is akin to torture.
The food was amazing, the company even better, and the slow seductive mood of the night so far has been like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
Now we’re just a few miles away from the cabin and they seem like the longest damn miles I’ve ever driven.
When we finally walk through the door of the cabin, Dee places a gentle kiss on my cheek and excuses herself into the bathroom. I use the time to dim the lights, turn on some of the electric candles scattered around the place, and light the fireplace in the corner of the main bedroom.
When Dee steps out of the bathroom a little while later, she’s still wearing the same crimson dress from our date, but her face and feet are bare. She’s giving me herself in her most natural and beautiful form and I can’t help but be frozen in awe as I stand there and take her in.
She walks toward me, her steps filled with grace and confidence. The fabric of her dress clings to her curves, accentuating her graceful movements, but it’s her confidence in herself and in us that has me locking my knees to stand upright.
I can't look away as she stops in front of me, her teeth digging into her bottom lip while she shoots me a doe-eyed expression that snaps my last bit of control.
Moving my hands to her waist, I pull her into me, the heat from her body sending another wave of desire coursing through my veins. I dip my head and capture her lips in a soft and slow kiss, teasing and exploring as I ease my tongue inside. She responds eagerly, her lips moving against mine with a hunger that matches my own.
I map out her body with my touch as she does the same, each discovery stoking the fire blazing hotter inside of me as every second passes. Without breaking our kiss, Dee slides her hands over my shoulders and down between us, making quick work of undoing my shirt and leaving me standing there in front of her in just my pants and belt.
A grin touches my lips as I step back and hear a disgruntled whimper escape her. It soon turns into a moan of relief when I carefully slide my fingers under the straps of her dress, slowly easing them down her arms until the garment falls to the floor, pooling at her feet.
When I shift back and take her in, raking my eyes up and down her naked form, that’s when I know that there’s nothing else in the entire world that could make me marvel at life more than this woman right here. She is and forever will be the most stunning view in the entire world, bar none.
Turning her around, I gently lower her onto the bed, the warm glow of the fire lighting up every inch of her flawless skin as she stretches her arms up above her head and smiles up at me.
I ditch the rest of my clothes quicker than I ever thought possible, the whole time watching as Dee’s eyes reflect the same heat and desire back at me. "C'mere, Tobes. Wanna feel you against me," she rasps.
Lowering my body onto hers, I mesh our mouths together for another deep, passionate joining of lips that leaves us both gasping for breath when we part. I drag my lips over her jaw and bury my face in her neck, loving the way she arches up off the bed to get closer to me. I
t's as if something clicks inside of me and suddenly I’m filled with an overwhelming, almost uncontrollable urge to have her, to take her… toclaimher.
All I can hear echoing in my head ismine. mine. mine.
