Chapter Twelve

One minute Lily was paranoid about the nighttime woods closing in around the truck. The next she didn’t care if Bigfoot ripped open the passenger door and dragged her through the forest by her hair. Rick’s mouth possessed her, took her breath away, made her want more. So much more. His hand on the back of her neck kept her within his reach, and the captivity of it further excited her. She wanted to be hunted by him, trapped, tamed.

Rick ran his other hand along Lily’s thigh, but his lips never left hers. While his hands roamed as far as the tight space in the truck would allow, Lily yearned to explore all of him.

She pushed back for a moment after he nipped at her earlobe.

“What’s the matter?” He went suddenly still, his nose still buried in her hair.

“Nothing,” she whispered. “I just want more room so I can properly throw myself at you.”

Rick laughed into her neck then kissed a line along her jaw. He caught her lips once again and brought her to the breaking point.

“I think I can make it to your place in ten minutes.” He sat back and turned the key.

“Try to make it in five.”

The truck bounced over ruts in the road as they neared Grandma Gail’s house. In seven minutes, Rick opened the passenger door and scooped Lily out of his truck. She let out a squeal as she held on to her purse in her lap. Being six feet tall had pretty much kept other men from attempting to literally sweep her off her feet.

“You shouldn’t be carrying me with that ankle,” she said, though she snuggled a little closer to Rick’s chest as he shuffled to the porch steps.

“What ankle? Nothing hurts right now,” he said. “Everything feels excellent.” He gave the back of her thigh a squeeze and slowed down to take the steps one at a time. When he reached the front door, he set Lily down.

She opened her purse to get her keys, and while she searched, Rick pressed himself up behind her. Her legs went to jelly, and she had to reach out her palm to the door to steady herself.

“I’ll never get us inside at this rate.” She attempted to angle her purse toward the porch light, but ended up dropping it to turn around in Rick’s arms.

“The porch will do.” He braced his hands on the threshold, corralling her between him and the door. “It’s not that cold out here.” He lowered his head and teased her lips with a few slow kisses.

“Not anymore it isn’t.” Lily liked the way the porch light illuminated Rick’s features and got caught in his eyes.

As they kissed, something rustled in the trees behind Rick, and Lily glanced over his shoulder. “But it’ll be nicer inside.”

She stepped out of his hold and retrieved her purse. Rick scanned the tree line as her hands closed around her keys. Hurry up, hurry up. Get inside.

“Squirrel probably. Something small.” He massaged her left shoulder, and she closed her eyes at the gesture.
