“Sure. Let me get it.”

Their fingers hardly touched when she handed him the comb, but there was no denying the spark the moment she realized what he was wearing.

“This is some fancy comb you got here,” he said, flipping it over in his hand.

“It’s a detangling comb. It’s good for getting the knots out, especially if your hair is long.”

“I don’t know about knots, but my hair is definitely longer than I like it to be.” He reached up and ran his fingers through it.

“You know, I could cut it for you.”

She looked away as soon as she said it and he wondered why she’d clammed up all of a sudden.

“You would do that?”

“I don’t have a chair for you to sit in but we could use one from the kitchen.”

“Works for me.”

Titan grabbed one of the chairs and brought it to the living room since she’d have more room to walk around him. The lighting wasn’t the greatest, but it was enough for her to properly see what she was doing.

She helped to drape the towel over his shoulders then stood in front of him while she started combing his hair into sections.

“Do you always keep scissors with you?” he laughed, hoping it would put a smile on her face. He knew she needed to concentrate on what she was doing, but she looked so serious standing so close to him.

She shook her head, pausing long enough to answer him. “Actually, I don’t. I’m not sure why I even have them with me this time.”

Titan closed his eyes while she went back to combing and snipping. It was the most relaxing feeling having someone run their fingers through his hair. It was too bad he couldn’t watch her in a mirror.

As she stepped from one side to the other making sure it was even, her breasts brushed against his shoulders. And when she leaned into his back to check that she’d cut enough from the top, Titan couldn’t resist trailing his finger along the bottom of her shorts. She stopped and stared longingly into his eyes.

He pulled the towel from around his neck and let it fall to the floor. Then he reached for her arm and guided her to his lap. With their mouths inches apart, he moved his hands to her back and brought her to him. Felicia parted her lips, inviting him to deeply kiss her.

When she dropped the scissors and comb down onto the floor and placed her hands along his jawline, he knew there was something happening between them. Titan raised his hips, pressing his groin against her. He was hard as fuck and the sweats did very little to keep his dick in place.

“I want you, Felicia,” he whispered into her hair.

“I want you, too, Titan.”

Her response was all he needed to hear. He slid his hands underneath her butt and carried her down the hallway. As they fought to undress one another, neither could stop moaning. They kissed passionately while their hands continued to explore. He yearned to make love to her, to the woman who understood the battles he was fighting. And when he slid inside of her, he knew there was no going back. That the two of them were meant to be together.

As the days passed, things began to get a little easier. For once, he could talk about Matt and not worry about crying. He and Felicia continued to make love daily. Sometimes it felt more like they were racing to see who could get to the finish line faster, and other times, he was so gentle with her, he wanted to see how long he could make it last.

Neither spoke of when their time together would come to an end but Titan knew he’d eventually have to return to work. Sure, his guys wanted him to get better, but they were working extra to cover the time he was away. The only thing he didn’t feel better about was leaving her behind.

They used their time together working on the tree to make the road passible and getting his tire changed and out of the mud. He never realized there was so much he didn’t know about her even though they’d known each other practically all of their lives.

He struggled to find a way to bring it up to her and he was relieved when she mentioned it while they were sitting out by the fire, a blanket tightly wrapped around them.

“I don’t want to stop seeing you,” she struggled to say. “I think we’re good for each other.”

Titan turned to look at her. Her eyes were full of lust and hope. “We can make this work if we really want to.”

She nodded and dabbed at the corner of her eye. “I’ve fallen in love with you, Titan.”

Titan climbed on top of her and pressed his lips to hers. That was all he needed to hear. As the fire crackled and popped, the blanket eventually slid off and so did his jeans. He grabbed onto his dick and guided it inside of her. He filled her completely, and her cries of satisfaction echoed throughout the mountain terrain.
