“Fifty yards?” She laughed. “Give that to me in feet, and then I’ll tell ya. Besides, it’s more like two hundred, and they wouldn’t dare come up here. If Mama saw us kissin’, she might faint. She’ll do anything to avoid that.”

“Abey—”

Thesmile in her eyes vanished and wasreplaced with a fire so blue. It dancedandgrew darker as she said, “Kiss me, Devo. I can’t wait anymore.”

A quiet moan escaped me while she cradled the sides of my face and held me still, caressing the lines of my jaw softly, and then she kissed me like she needed the connection the same way she needed air to breathe.

She was a master of kisses, her lips soft and demanding, her tongue fluid and searching, and I felt like I could kiss her until the end of time.

I’d always laughed and rolled my eyes when I heard men claiming women, calling them “mine,” but now I understood. I didn’t want to share Abey or her lips with anyone. Could she be mine?

Could I kiss these lips forever?

“It was nice today,” she whispered when we came up for air. “I’ve never brought anyone out to meet my family before.”

“Really?”

She arched an eyebrow. “Is really the only word you know?”

“No.” I giggled. “It’s just that when you attempt to be sexy, it’s kinda disarmin’.”

Her hands slid down my neck and my back, and then she gripped my hips tight. “Really?”

I didn’t dare laugh. The way she was looking at me, the lust and need I saw in her eyes, was anything but funny as she reached for my hand and slid it slowly between her legs.

“You disarm me too. Feel how wet you make me?”

I could feel it. The crotch of her cutoffs was damp, and when I smoothed my fingers up her thigh and worked them beneath her underwear, her pussy was slick and hot.

“Oh,” she breathed and she moaned.

It was a heady thing to know my hands had elicited the sound from inside her.

I wanted more.

Unbuttoning her shorts, I dragged them down with her undies to her ankles and untied one shoe, smiling at her red and white reindeer socks as I pulled her foot out.

I kneeled in front of her and gripped her bare thighs with my hands, my thumbs sweeping over the soft insides. “Open.”

She gasped but widened her stance as my knees touched the dirt of the forest floor, fallen leaves, and dried pine needles. They dug into my skin as I dragged my fingers up her legs slowly, loving the feel of the fine blond hair against my fingertips. Abey didn’t shave her legs, but her hair was so light, there was no need.

When I fingered her and touched my tongue to her clit, she moaned again loudly. I looked up her body to watch, but she bit her lip to stop the sound.

Lust looked good on Abey Lee.

Hunger flared in her sapphire eyes as she looked down at what I was doing to her, her hair falling out of her braids in messy yellow tendrils that framed her face. God, what I wouldn’t have given to pull my fingers through those braids and spread her hair out on a pillow.

I added another finger, and her eyes rolled shut, so I pumped slowly and buried my mouth between her soaked lips, licking as far down as I could and back up, applying pressure to her clit. And when I flickered my tongue over it, she whimpered and gripped my head with both hands.

I worked quickly, swallowing the salty taste of her body down my throat while applying just enough pressure to her clit with the flat of my tongue, and I pumped my fingers in and out of her soft core, over and over again. Her hips began to move to my rhythm, like my mouth was a magnet her body was drawn to.

“Yeah,” she breathed. “More please.”

I added a third finger, and she squeezed the crap out of my wrist with her thighs, holding my hand hostage as I finger fucked her in the forest.

Slipping beneath her tank top, I slid my other hand up to her breasts. She’d worn a sports bra so I couldn’t feel the warmth and softness I craved to touch, but as I looked up at her, she dropped her head and opened her eyes again, and when I pushed up through the neckline of her T-shirt, she pulled my fingers into her mouth with her teeth, sucking and licking.

The sound of our breath echoed loudly between the boulders, and I knew she was close as her eyes drifted closed and her mouth went lax. I dragged my hand down her stomach and flattened it over her taut belly, rubbing her saliva into her skin as I increased the pace of my fingers inside her.
