If I loved you less,

I might be able to talk about it more.

Chapter 11

CONNIE SCOOPED HER up, called to Molly, and carried Sierra over the threshold and into his house. He stopped just inside the closed door. “I guess you can tell, I wasn’t expecting company.”

His clean laundry was dumped on the couch for folding, two pairs of running shoes and a pair of boots sat on the floor where they’d been kicked off. There was a small dinette in the breakfast nook and each one of the four chairs held up a jacket or down vest. Molly was off, nosing around the place, probably looking for something to chew on.

“It has that lived-in look,” she said.

“I don’t spend much time here,” he said. “Especially lately.”

He leaned toward her until their lips were almost touching and with a gentle tongue, outlined her lips. Her arms around his neck tightened just slightly. “I wanted you in my house,” he said softly. “I want you in my bed.”

“I don’t know if I can,” she said. “My last time was—” She didn’t finish but she did cast her eyes downward.

Connie kissed her, softly at first, then with more pressure, yet tenderly. He pulled her lower lip between his, sucking it into his mouth. “I have an idea,” he said. “Why don’t you not think about the last time? In fact, don’t think about any other time, ever. And we’ll go very slow. Very, very slow, so slow you’ll ask me to go a little faster. But I won’t. I’m just going to take my sweet time and you’re going to be in charge. I have a feeling it’s going to be good. I mean, epic.” Then he buried his lips in her neck, kissing and sucking.

“Oh God,” she whispered.

“It’s bound to happen one of these days,” he said. “If it doesn’t happen now, let’s at least play around a little.”

She couldn’t help herself. She giggled.

“Seriously, I have to touch you,” he said. “I’m not going to rush you.”

“Okay,” she said weakly. “I’m a little nervous.”

He gave her lips a little peck. “Me, too.”

He carried her into the bedroom where the bed was made. “Amazing,” she said. “A bomb went off in your living room, but you made the bed?”

“I like it that way.”

“Have you been planning this?” she asked as he put her down.

“Every day,” he said. He toed off his shoes and got on the bed beside her, pulling her into his arms.

“Oh-oh,” Sierra said just as Molly jumped onto the bed.

“Not this time, Molly,” he said. “Down.”

The silly dog did exactly as Conrad instructed.

“You’re going to have to show me how you did that,” Sierra said.

“Later,” he said, covering her lips with his. His hands moved from her back to her butt to her hips to her thighs and back again. He untucked her shirt and slid his big hands underneath, moaning into her mouth as he massaged her back, her belly, her breasts. Her body immediately strained against his in a movement so natural it almost took her by surprise.
