Chapter 5: Standing Bear

The tailgate was down and I was in his lap before the engine finished ticking.

Standing Bear Lake at midnight on a Wednesday is a dark parking lot, a black sheet of water and a lot of crickets.

Nobody comes.

Ed had parked at the far end, nose to the reeds.

He'd spread the moving blankets from the truck bed over the ribbed steel in two thick layers.

He did it without a word, the way he did everything, with his back to me, folding the corners.

I watched his shoulders and I could not stand it.

"Sit," I said.

He sat on the blankets with his boots hanging over the edge of the tailgate.

I climbed up and straddled him.

His hands settled on my waist, and for a moment we only looked at each other in the light of the stars.

There were a lot of them.

More than the city ever lets you see.

"You came out here in a skirt on purpose," he said.

"I came out here in a skirt because it's eighty degrees."

"On purpose."

"On purpose."

I kissed him.

His mouth was warm and tasted of the coffee he'd drunk at nine.

He kissed me slowly and thoroughly.

My fingers went to his buttons.

I pushed his shirt off his shoulders and he shrugged out of it.

My palms found the heat of his chest, the scar under his shoulder blade, the thick muscle of his arms.

I bent and put my teeth into the bite from Sunday, still faint on his shoulder.

He grunted and his hands tightened.

"Lie back," I said.

"Lori..."

"Back."

He lay down on the blankets with his head near the cab and his arms above his head.

I knelt astride his hips and looked at the picture he made.

The big chest rising and falling.

The beard, silver in the starlight.

His eyes on me, dark and hungry and trusting me with everything.

"Tell me," he said.

"Tell you what?"

"What you want."

I undid his belt.

"I want your cock," I said, and my voice shook a little because I'd never said it to a person's face before. "I want it all the way in."

"Tell me more."

I unzipped him.

He lifted his hips so I could pull his jeans and shorts down to his thighs.

His cock came free, hard and thick against his stomach.

I took it in my hand.

His jaw tightened with a sharp hiss.

"I want to ride you until my legs give out," I said. "I want your hands on my ass. I want you to watch me take you."

"Keep going."

"I want you to tell me I'm good."

His eyes closed for a second.

"You're so good," he said roughly. "You're so goddamn good, Lori."

I rose on my knees, pulled my underwear to one side and held him at my entrance.

I was wet already.

I had been wet since the drive.

I sank down on him an inch.

He swore.

Another inch.

My thighs trembled, and the stretch was glorious, the fullness, the slow heat.

I took him in a little at a time with my hands braced on his chest.

"Tell me," he said again, his voice cracked down the middle.

"It feels like you're splitting me open."

"Yes."

"It feels so good I can't think."

"Yes."

"I never want to get off."

I took the last inch and seated myself on him with a gasp.

He filled me completely.

I held still and felt him throb inside me, and the whole sky seemed to pulse with it.
