I shook my head. “Not out here. It’s too cold and I want to take my time. I want you to feel how much I love you.”
She whimpered in desire and I smiled down at her. “Arms, Rabbit,” I instructed lovingly. Her arms reached up around my neck and I lifted her up and carried into the house. I walked directly to the fireplace, disturbing Bear from his warm spot. His eyes regarded us with utter distain for a moment, and then with a deep huff, he headed down the hall to the bedroom. I slowly lowered Rabbit to her feet and we stood regarding each other. Her hand drifted up, cupping my cheek, stroking slowly. “Love me, Joshua,” she whispered.
There were simply too many clothes between us and our hands moved with indulgent caresses as clothing was shed and soft skin was exposed. I lowered us both onto the plush rug making sure she was surrounded by cushions. I kissed every inch of her delicate body as it was exposed, worshipping her with my lips and tongue until she was trembling and undulating under me. Reaching up, I captured her mouth with mine, kissing her deeply over and over again. I teased her, withdrawing my tongue from her mouth and drawing hers into mine, gently sucking and stroking it, drawing out her soft whimpers and moans. Her hands wandered restlessly over my back, pulling me closer, her leg hitching over my hip. “Please, Joshua … please,” she begged, her eyes pleading.
I hovered over her, staring down into her wide, loved-filled gaze. Slowly, I entered her slick warmth, closing my eyes as the pleasure of being inside her rolled through me. My head fell into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent as I began moving in long, slow strokes, wanting to be buried in her as long as possible. Her hips rose, meeting me, her legs tightening around my hips, pulling me in as deeply as she could. I could feel my orgasm building like a rapidly moving storm, gathering in strength with each thrust as I moved in her. Her muscles fluttered and clenched and her arms tensed as she gasped out my name, coming apart around me. I continued to move and felt the intense burst of heat as I came intensely, not even able to make a sound as I finally stilled.
We were both quiet, the silence broken only by our shuddering, panting breaths as we slowly came down to earth. I pulled away and looked down at her. Rabbit’s hand came up, affectionately stroking the back of my neck. She smiled her shy smile and wordlessly pulled my head down to her chest, her hand continuing her gentle caresses.
“You wanted me to feel how much you loved me? Mission accomplished, Joshua,” she said quietly.
I couldn’t help the smug smile I felt pull on my lips.
Chapter Seventeen
Joshua
Bear pushed on my arm, and I moved to allow his great body access to see what I was doing under the hood of the truck. I sighed as his shadow blocked the light. I tried moving around him, but he continued leaning against me. Impatiently, I pushed him away. “Down, Bear!” I snapped. He sat looking at me with a huff, but I ignored him and went back to my inspection.
I had just finished the last of the private drive that led to the main road. Even with Rabbit and Bear with me in the truck it had been a panicky, tense exercise and I only cleared a wide enough path to allow a vehicle through. At one point, I had thought I would pass out from my hyperventilating. The gate was just too far away. Rabbit again sat behind me and it was only her voice in my ear and her tight embrace that helped me get through it.
I had noticed a strange noise in the engine and the thought of the truck breaking down that far away was overwhelming. Then when I raised the plow it seemed to seize and that was the last straw. I turned the truck around and headed back to the gate as quickly as possible. After dropping Rabbit at the front of the house and telling her where I would be, I decided to work on the truck in front of the barn. I needed to be alone for a short time and calm down.
The sun was out in full force today and it was warm on my back as I bent over the hood. I was checking out the source of the noise, and then I would move on to the plow.
I leaned forward, checking on the timing belt, when Rabbit appeared. She snuck up under my arm, and once again my light was blocked. “How’s it going?” she asked sweetly.
“It’s not,” I said through gritted teeth.
She turned her head and regarded me. “How come?”
“I keep getting interrupted.”
“Oh.” Her voice was soft. “I brought you some coffee.”
I nodded. “Thanks.”
But she didn’t move. “Can I help?”
The emotion of the morning was still running through me and my patience was highly insufficient. When she fell heavily into my side I saw that Bear had heaved himself up beside her, joining the party. She stroked his head lovingly as she chuckled. “Wanting to see what Daddy is doing, Bear?”
