It was like some kind of on switch, because his mouth pressed harder against mine, the kiss turning heavier. His hands roamed up and down my back, and I moaned, unable to help myself. Corbin gripped me tighter, rubbing lightly against me.
It positioned my dick to rub against his thigh, and I gasped at the sensation. God, it felt good. I leaned my head back to gasp in air, because I felt like I was on freaking fire, and Corbin licked and nipped at my neck. I was rubbing against his thigh, the pleasure building with each grind against him. His hands gripped my hips, encouraging my movement.
Fuck, he felt good.
He nipped at my neck, and the shiver of pleasure was so intense I felt like I was gonna come in my pants. I didnotwant that to happen—talk about embarrassing.
I heard a caw, and Corbin’s hands eased against my hips, his teeth and lips lifting from my neck. I stilled, and I buried my head in his chest, catching my breath and coming down from the super horny cliff’s edge I had just been poised on.
“Wow,” I whispered.
Crow fluffed her feathers behind us, and I chuckled a little, partly out of happiness and partly out of nervousness. Corbin gripped me tighter for a moment before his arms loosened and he moved back a bit. Then he leaned down and gave me a light peck on the lips.
“Yes, Sebbie, this is a date,” he murmured.
I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face.
“And rather than waiting for a goodbye kiss, I figured I’d give you a hello kiss,” he continued.
I smiled up at him. “You’ll hear no complaints from me, although I wouldn’t object to a goodbye kiss as well.”
“Noted,” Corbin said, his eyes staring into mine.
God, he was gorgeous. He was also so intense, but before I could start to feel awkward, Crow gave a fluff of her feathers and a caw.
“Yes, beautiful girl, I have some nuts and berries for you for lunch so you can eat with us.” I broke away from Corbin and bustled into the kitchen, talking as I went. “Corbin, I just made sandwiches and stuff, so I hope that’s okay. And there’s sweet tea, water, or soda to drink.”
I turned around, my hands full with the plate of sandwiches I’d just grabbed, and I almost dropped them to see Corbin right behind me. Luckily, his hand shot out to support mine, so the food didn’t go flying. The man was fastandquiet as hell.
“It sounds wonderful, Sebbie,” he said, helping me carry stuff over to the table.
I went back to the counter for Crow’s snacks, feeling a little stressed. I was afraid things were going to be awkward after our kiss. Okay, so I was afraid thatIwas going to be awkward after our kiss, but thank god for Crow. She was, like, the best wingman ever. Wingwoman? Whatever. (And I’d totally have to share that with Toby, because he’d get such a kick out of it.)
She flew over to the table and sat on the back of one of the chairs. She fluffed and preened, and I talked to her while I was gathering my wits about me and talking myself out of being nervous. (I wasn’t doing a very successful job.) Then when I gave Crow a nut, she threw it at Corbin, and the look of utter outrage on his face had me laughing hysterically. He started laughing, too, and I started to feel a little less nervous. We didn’t have to be awkward. Yeah, that was, like, the best kiss ever, but we could totally have a normal lunch.
The rest of the afternoon passed without awkwardness. We got totally absorbed in chatting. Corbin was just so easy to be with. He wasn’t always the most talkative, but he listened really well. I could tell he was genuinely engaged in everything I said, and his attention felt good. He looked in my eyes or focused on me when I spoke, and sometimes he nodded his head, hummed, or asked a question. I don’t think I’d ever felt so…seen. I couldn’t even explain it.
When I asked him questions, he answered freely, and he was both interesting and really intelligent. I asked a lot about his stonework, because it sounded really cool. He invited me to come visit his workshop and see what he did, and next thing I knew we had a plan for tomorrow. We chatted about books, because it turned out Corbin was a reader, too. He’d even read some of Toby’s books, which I thought was super cool. We talked about the forest and hiking, and somehow we added plansto take a nature walk after visiting his workshop tomorrow. I definitely wasn’t complaining.
The afternoon flew by, and before I knew it, the light had started to fade outside.
Crow had flown out earlier, but Corbin didn’t seem concerned. The caw of the murder outside was a constant background sound as we chatted, and it was… comforting. We eventually moved out to my porch, and we sat on the chairs I had, cups of tea in our hands, watching as the sun set through the trees surrounding my house. The crows brought a gift or two as Corbin and I both fed them, and I literally felt like I was in a fairy tale.
I got a goodnight kiss when he left, although it was much tamer than our hello kiss. It was soft and sweet, and then we hugged for a really long time again, and I leaned against him and breathed in the scent that was uniquely Corbin.
As he drove off and I waved goodbye, the flutter of feathers and the occasional caw made me smile. When I turned toward the door, Crow was standing there by the door. I wasn’t sure how I always seemed to know now when it was her, but I did.
I smiled at her. “You’re welcome to come inside, but I think Corbin would miss you.”
She fluffed her feathers, and I laughed as she stared at me. Her presence just made me feel happy. I was also feeling a little giddy after the afternoon we’d just had.
“Corbin is wonderful, and that was, like, the best date ever,” I told Crow.
She cawed in agreement.
“And I didn’t even need to worry about a goodbye kiss the whole time, because I got a hello kiss.”
Crow cawed again, and then she flew off into the night.
