I kissed her hair and added, “But I’m not saying I don’twantto. How long are you going to be gone?”
She peered up at me. “A week.”
“A week.” It would be an eternity without her. But I said, “That’s nothing. You’ll be back before I can blink. And you’re going to go see your folks?”
“Yeah. And my sister Melinda.”
“She’s the one who has all the hospital bills?”
Violet jolted in surprise. “How do you know that?”
“You had a hospital payment portal open on your screen one afternoon when I walked by, and I heard you talking about it with Lenore one time.”
She shook her head. “The down pillow. My sister’s hospital bills. How did you notice all this about me?”
“I’ve walked by you every afternoon for the last six months. I seem to get there around the time of your last break of the day, and if you’re not working, you’re often either window shopping online or paying bills, or researching something. You can learn a lot about someone from seeing what they look at online.”
Violet sank back into my arms, her hand tentatively exploring my chest. “I never saw you in the afternoons. Only sometimes in the morning if I got there really early.”
“That’s because I walk behind your desk to get to the time clock. Your eyes were always glued to the screen.”
“It’s so easy to miss out on life, isn’t it? I had no idea you ever noticed me.” She leaned her head on my shoulder while her fingers traced patterns on my belly. The woman was going to make come doing that.
“Does that mean you noticed me?” I asked.
She laughed, her breasts bouncing against my chest with each exhale. “Yeah. You’reimpossibleto miss. The first time I saw you, you were covered in sawdust wearing this exact flannel shirt. I felt like I’d been transported to another planet where the men looked like sexy lumberjacks. And you were the sexiest one of all.”
“That part sounds good,” I rumbled.
Violet peered up at me shyly. “Even if I’m not ready to have sex today, I wouldn’t mind kissing you again.”
“We have forty minutes,” I told her as I set the alarm on my phone.
This time I didn’t go barging in like a mountain cock on steroids.
This time, I kissed her softly, letting her know exactly how I felt about her.
Violet wasn’t a short-term fling for me. She was the woman I already knew I wanted to marry.
I felt her body respond to mine, a tiny moan escaping her lips as we explored each other for the first time. Earlier had been something frenetic, out of control. If we’d fucked then, it would have been over in minutes, a hungry rush to the finish line.
But knowing that I was her first made me want to draw this out. Today would just be about thekiss. There would be time for more later on.
Even the best-laid plans don’t always work out, though. And it was only a few minutes later that we were both breathing hard and rocking our hips together.
Her sweet little pussy was wiggling alloverme, and she wasn’t acting exactly virginal.
“What about waiting?” I asked as she yanked the button open on my jeans.
“I was wrong about that. Weshouldn’twait,” she told me breathlessly as I teased her nipples through her bra.
“You’re giving me whiplash, girl. Where did my virginal, innocent girlfriend go?”
She grinned up at me as she unzipped my fly. “I’m your girlfriend?”
“Yeah. And you’re about to be my wife. You just don’t know it yet.”
That was either going to scare her off or make her giddy. Women tended to go in one direction or the other.
