Chapter 20: Thanksgiving

Mercy's POV

He had me against the cabin door again, and this time I lit the lamp first.

"I want to see you," I said into his mouth.

"You can see me."

"I want to see all of you, with the light on, in this house."

It was Thanksgiving night, and we had driven up the logging road from Machias in the snow.

A pumpkin pie rode on the seat between us.

His mother had kept me at her table for six hours.

She had asked me three questions and put a second pie in my arms.

She had called me daughter once, by mistake, and Armand had said, "Ma," and she had said, "What? She is."

I laughed against his throat at the memory, and he lifted me by the thighs.

"What?" he said.

"Your cousins asked if you could lift the dinner table," I said.

"They were six."

"Then you lifted it, with the turkey on it, and your mother clapped."

He laughed, deep and helpless, and the door shook against my back.

I wrapped my legs around his waist and took his beard in both fists.

I kissed him until the sound he made changed.

"The rug," I said.

He carried me across the room.

The woodstove was banked and red, and the plank table where I had sat that first night stood in the corner, scrubbed bare.

He knelt on the rug and laid me down in front of the fire, and I pulled him down with me.

We undressed each other slowly, with hands that already knew where the buttons were.

His shirt, my sweater, his belt, my jeans, until we lay naked on the rag rug with the red light moving on our skin.

I ran my thumb over the white saw scar.

I ran it over the dark ridge of my own bite on his shoulder.

"Mine," I said.

"Yours."

"Lie on your back."

He lay down.

I rose on my knees and swung my leg over his chest, so that I knelt over his face with my back to him.

I bent forward until his cock lay hard and hot beside my cheek.
