He leaned in and kissed my cheek. “Thanks for sharing that with me. I had no idea.”
Jesse and I were sitting there quietly for a while before I noticed him slowly inching his hand closer to mine. My cheeks were getting warm from blushing. I inched closer to him and tried not to be obvious when I stole a glance of him. I missed him. He asked, “Can I sit closer to you?”
“Please.”
Scooting over, I wedged myself against him. He brought his hand up to my hip and squeezed me into him with his arm. I was so content and I missed being in his arms. We sat like that for the rest of the movie, each of us stealing glances and little touches when we could. Everything felt right.

When we pulled up to the house, Jesse turned the truck off. “This was fun, Laida.”
“It really was. Thank you again for coming.” I wanted to ask him if he wanted to come inside, but I waited.
We kept glancing at each other before he said, “Laida…”
I answered too quickly. “Yes?”
“Can I at least walk you to your door?” His eyebrows raised in a hopeful gaze at me.
“Yes, I’d like that.” Jesse came around to my side of the truck and opened the door for me. Chivalry was not dead, not with Jesse Harrington, and I was grateful for it.
Walking up the porch steps, I stopped in front of the door and paused. I managed to get out, “Ummm…” before turning around to face him. He stepped closer to me, clearly feeling the same electric energy that I had. It was pulling us into each other, and I wouldn’t deny it.
“Laida, can I kiss you g’night?”
“Yes…” I replied breathily.
He brought his hands up to my face, slowly caressing my cheek before he kissed me. It’d been weeks. Weeks since I’d felt his lips on mine and weeks felt like an eternity. Jesse couldn’t help himself, and blurted out, “Damn it, the things I want to do to you.”
I grinned at him. “You’re so romantic.”
“I am.Hopelesslyso. I just have a dirty mind that’s consumed by you.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, Herbalist. I always crave you. I’ve missed you.” He kissed me again. I released an unintentional moan. “I want to kiss your moans when I take you, Laida, and hear your body surrendering to mine.” I reached up to caress his forearms. “I want every side of you, Laida. Calm. Wild. Uncontrollable. Scared. Messy.”
“Then take me, Jesse.”
Chapter 16
Jesse
That was all I needed to hear. I lifted her in my arms. Her legs instinctively wrapped themselves around my waist. She laid kisses along my neck and handed me the keys. I unlocked the front door, kicking it shut behind us and turned the deadbolt that I’d recently installed to give us peace of mind.
Laida buried her face in my neck as I carried her upstairs. “Jesse, you bring my body to life.” With her kissing my neck and me clutching her ass, I was ready to bust through my jeans.
It’d been too long since I’d been inside her. I let her down so we could make quick work of losing our clothes and climbing into bed. Admiring her curves and eyes, I said, “I want every breath you take, Laida.”
She moaned as I kissed her, starting with her lips, then her neck, down to her perky tits, and her belly. Finally, I buried my face in her pussy and let my tongue love her the way my heart did. Light whimpers and moans came from somewhere deep inside her. I wanted to worship every inch of her body. She must have woke the farm up, getting louder as I sucked her clit andcircled my tongue around it. The way her stomach shook as her body succumbed to me only made me suck harder. She couldn’t take it anymore and begged, “Please, Jesse!”
I hovered over her body and placed myself between her legs. “It’s been so long, baby.”
“It feels like forever. Take me…and fill me up, Jesse…”
“Yours!” she cried out as I worked her body.
Leaning down, I kissed her again, repeatedly. I slowed my thrusts down so she could better feel me throbbing inside her. “I’ll always put you first, Laida.”
