My Own People Betrayed Me at My Engagement Barbecue, So I Took the Hill Back novel · Chapter 17 of 24

Chapter 17: Ice

The ice took the power at four in the afternoon, and by dark we had not worn clothes in three hours.

Every limb of every live oak on Live Oak Creek was glass.

Branches cracked and fell all night in the dark outside, and the wood stove in the farmhouse parlor roared red.

Cade had dragged the mattress from the spare room to the rug in front of it.

I lay on my side on the quilts with my head on his thigh, naked and sleepy and warm.

I watched the firelight on the ceiling.

His fingers moved through my hair.

"We could stay here till spring," I said.

"We'd run out of coffee," he said.

"I'd learn to hate you."

"You'd learn to like the dark."

His cock lay thick against my cheek, half hard and hot.

I turned my face and kissed it.

He sucked in a breath.

"Tilly," he said.

"You said I could start things."

"I did say that," he said.

"Lie back," I said.

He lay back on the quilts and put his hands behind his head.

I knelt over him and looked down the length of his body in the red light.

He was a big man, long and broad and scarred, and when he looked at me his whole face was open.

I took him in my hand and licked the head.

He groaned.

I swung one knee over his chest, slowly.

I knelt over his face with my back to him and his cock in front of me.

"Oh, you're a menace," he said, and his voice was already thick.

"Hold on to me."

His hands came up and closed around my thighs.

They were huge.

They went around each one and met on the outside, and he drew me down onto his mouth.

I cried out.

His tongue pressed flat into me and dragged slowly up, and my elbows folded.

I put my cheek on his stomach.

His cock was right there, heavy and flushed.

I took it in my mouth.

I took as much as I could, with his tongue working at my clit and his thumbs spreading me.

I moaned around him and felt him jerk.

He lifted me.

He held my whole weight on his forearms and raised my hips off his face for one breath.
