He kissed his way across her chest to do the same to her other nipple, and by the time he was done teasing them both, they were so sensitive she knew she’d orgasm if he so much as touched them again.
He unzipped her jeans, kissing her softly, and pulled them down her thighs. Autumn sat on the edge of the bed and Cody crouched down in front of her, removing her boots and jeans.
Once she was clad only in her panties, she placed her hand on his stomach and grabbed a fistful of his tee. “This needs to come off. Now.”
“Yes, ma’am.” He pulled the tee up over his head with one hand and dropped it on the floor with her clothes.
Autumn undid the button on his jeans and then pulled the zipper down slowly. She could see the outline of his cock through the denim, his arousal obvious. She pushed his jeans down as he kicked off his boots, and he didn’t hesitate in shedding the rest of his clothing.
Her mouth fell open a little and she couldn’t help but stare at his cock in fascination as it sprang free of his boxer briefs. He was fully erect and she couldn’t tear her gaze away.
It was longer than she expected, but not too wide that she worried he may not fit inside her. It rose up from a nest of short, dark curls, and her mouth watered for a taste.
So taste him, she did. Autumn wrapped her hand around his cock, then leaned over and flicked her tongue over the head. Cody’s hips bucked and he groaned. When she looked up at him, his eyes were glazed over and his mouth was open. He’d liked that, very much.
Then she did it again. And again. Teasing him with her tongue, she looked up at him, and when she sucked the head of his cock into her mouth, his head fell back as a long, low moan escaped his lips. “Fuck. That feels so good, darlin’.”
Smiling around her mouthful, she slid her lips down his cock farther, her tongue coating the underside of his shaft until he hit the back of her throat. While she couldn’t say she was exactly experienced in the art of sex, one thing Autumn had been taught by her ex was how to give a good blow job.
Sliding off the bed and on to her knees, she bobbed back and forth on his cock, alternating between licking and sucking, her hand wrapped around the base and stroking all the while.
She made sure to pay attention to every inch of him, sucking his balls gently into her mouth. When Cody laid a hand on her head, Autumn was surprised to find that, unlike her ex, it didn’t bother her. He wasn’t trying to force himself upon her.
She needed no guidance, anyway. Between her mouth and her tongue, she had him panting and so hard he groaned every time she touched him.
Releasing him with a pop, she grinned up at him. His cock was now not only hard as a rock, but wet.
“Get up, darlin’.” He grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet before kissing her hard enough to leave her breathless. “Lie down on the bed.”
She did as commanded, stretching out before him. He crawled onto the bed, hovering over her, before reaching for a pillow, which he placed under her head. “My turn.”
He kissed her lips softly before trailing them down her neck and chest. He laved her nipples until they were painfully hard, then continued his way down her torso to her stomach. He kissed her belly button and then moved lower.
When he pressed a kiss to the dark, damp curls between her legs, she placed her hand on his head. “Stop.”
Cody did immediately, lifting his gaze up to meet hers. “What’s wrong?”
She closed her legs. “You don’t have to do that.”
He frowned and stretched out on the bed next to her, propping himself up on an elbow. “What if I want to?” He rested his free hand on her stomach, and she placed hers on top of it.
“I’m just saying, you don’t need to do that.” Autumn suddenly felt embarrassed. While she’d become practiced at giving blow jobs, her ex had refused to return the favor.
He brought his hand up to her face, stroking it gently. “You’ve never had a man go down on you before, have you?”
Oh, Lord. Her cheeks went so red she was sure they could have been seen from outer space. She opened her mouth to speak but no sound came out, so she shook her head.
“You know what I think? I think your ex is a selfish asshole. He obviously had no problem with you blowing him, but he never went down on you? One day you’re going to tell me who this fucker is so I can punch him.”
“Forget about him.” She curled her hand around the back of his head and pulled him down so she could kiss him, and all thoughts of her ex disappeared.
“You’re right, he’s not worth a moment of our time. You know what this means?”
“What’s that?”
“It means I get the great honor of being the first man to make you come with my tongue.”
Before she could answer, Cody was back down at the end of the bed. He coaxed her to part her legs for him and kissed his way up her thigh. Autumn knew she was already wet enough for him to enter her, but she was suddenly desperate to know what it felt like to have a man lick her pussy.
He didn’t make her wait. He ran his tongue up and down, over and over, and her hips rose of their own accord. She reached down and grasped his hair gently, but Cody knew exactly what he was doing.
When he circled her clit and then flicked his tongue over it, she cried out so loudly she was sure Luke and Evie must have heard her.
He didn’t stop. He licked and sucked and teased her, sliding a finger into her and crooking it. When he rubbed that sweet spot inside her, Autumn knew she was about to orgasm.
“Cody, I’m…” She panted for breath, unable to say anything more.
“Going to come for me, darlin’? Good.”
He increased the pressure of his mouth and it was over. Autumn came with a fierceness she’d never experienced before. Her toes curled, her body trembled, and she cried out as white spots danced before her eyes. She clutched at the bedsheets, fisting them tightly as he continued to lap at her pussy.
He eventually kissed his way back up her body as she gasped for breath, and once he reached her lips, she kissed him passionately. She could taste herself on his tongue and it didn’t bother her in the slightest.
“Good?” he murmured against her lips.
“So good. Ten out of ten, would highly recommend.”
He laughed and sat up again, reaching over to open the top drawer of his nightstand. He extracted a small, square, gold packet, and Autumn’s heart began to race. Should she? Could she?
“You don’t have to wear a condom if you don’t want to, Cody.” He looked at her intently. “I’m on birth control, I have yearly check-ups with my doctor, and I haven’t been with anyone since my ex. I always used a condom with him. That was four years ago.”
“Are you sure, darlin’? I don’t mind wearing one. I always have in the past.”
She took the packet out of his hand and placed it on the bed next to her. “I’m sure. I don’t want anything between us.”
He kissed her then, deep and slow, making arousal pool between her legs. She tore her mouth away from his and panted. “Inside me. Now.”
“Yes, ma’am.” He positioned himself over her, bracing his weight on his forearms so he wasn’t squashing her. With his left hand, he placed the head of his cock at her entrance, and then slipped inside her.
Her mouth fell open as he pushed his cock deep inside her. She was so wet he slid forward with ease and only stilled once he was all the way in.
“You okay? I’m not hurting you, am I?”
Autumn wrapped her legs around his, shook her head and pulled his mouth down to hers, kissing him with a possessiveness she didn’t know existed. He matched her kiss for kiss, but eventually sat up and kneeled back between her thighs. “I need to move.”
“Yes, move. I need more.”
He withdrew until just the tip of his cock was still inside her, then eased back in again. He did it over and over until his thrusts became harder and faster. All she could do was cling to him and cry out with every stroke.
He
was so deep inside her and felt so good that she didn’t censor herself. Her hips canted up to take him deeper still, and when his moans became louder and his thrusts messy, she knew he was close.
He lay back down over her, and they gazed at each other. She smiled as he kissed her and snaked her arms around his back. “Make me come, Cody.” He started to pound roughly into her and her moans got louder. “Yes, yes!”
“Come on my cock, darlin’.”
Her orgasm slammed into her suddenly, and with a long, loud cry she bucked up underneath him, her toes curling and her legs shaking. Cody watched her orgasm around him, and he grinned as he continued to fuck her. “Good girl,” he murmured in her ear before kissing it. “My turn.”
Pulling out of her, he turned her over and lifted her hips up in the air. Autumn didn’t have time to feel self-conscious about her ass being on display before he pushed back inside her. She was braced on her arms, her hands fisting the sheet, and his cock felt so big in this position that the breath was knocked out of her.
She cried out every time he shoved inside her, never wanting him to stop. He gripped her hips, and she felt him start to swell. “Fuck, Autumn.”
“Come inside me.” She reached back, wrapped her hands around his forearms, and held on as he groaned loudly and pulsed deep within her.
She didn’t let him go until he stopped moving. He twisted sideways and flopped onto the bed, maneuvering her so his body was curled around hers while still inside her.
She turned her face toward him and they kissed over and over. He played with her sensitive nipple, and she gasped. “One more?”
Without waiting for an answer, his hand drifted down her body until it reached its destination. She moaned his name breathily as he rubbed her clit, his cock still buried deep within her, and it didn’t take long for her third orgasm of the night to wash over her like waves crashing in the ocean.
“Damn, you look so beautiful when you come on my cock.”
Autumn thought such a statement would make her blush, but it didn’t. Instead, it emboldened her. “I like coming on your cock.” She hesitated a moment before saying the last word, but if Cody noticed he didn’t mention it.
“Good. Because you’ll be doing it a whole lot more.”
Eventually, he withdrew from her and she let out a small moan. She’d loved the way he’d felt inside her. He stood up and stared down at her. “I’m going to take a quick shower. Care to join me?”
He reached out a hand, and she managed to shuffle down the bed far enough to take it. He pulled her up off the bed and kept hold of her hand as they stepped into the en suite.
He switched the large, square showerhead on and stepped into the cubicle, leaving the door open. Autumn tied her long hair up in a bun so it wouldn’t get wet and followed him in, closing the door behind her. The temperature was perfect, and she closed her eyes, tipping her face back to let the water wash over her.
“How do you feel? Are you okay?”
She opened her eyes again and stared at her lover. The tenderness in his gaze made her heart melt, and she got up in her toes to kiss him. “I’m fine, sweetheart. More than fine.” She gave him a shy smile. “That was amazing.”
His arms snaked around her and he squeezed her ass, pulling her close so her body was flush up against his. Her nipples started to harden again from the feel of his naked body.
She planned to explore every inch of him at some stage. He had to be fit for his job, and occasionally helping on the ranch meant he was trim in all the right places.
He may not have been sporting a six-pack, but there was nothing she didn’t like. A sprinkling of hair covered his chest, and a trail of darker, thicker hair led from his navel down to his cock.
“Yes, it was.” He slid his tongue into her mouth, licking inside. “I can’t wait to be inside you again.”
She smiled. “If you play your cards right, it might be sooner rather than later.”
“Good. I can’t wait to taste your sweet pussy and watch you come on my tongue again.”
That did make her blush. “Cody.”
He let out a laugh. “What? We’ve already done the deed. No need to be shy about it now. Turn around.”
She followed his request and was rewarded with the feel of his soapy hands on her body. She stood still as he washed her reverently, lingering in some places more than others. He kissed her neck as his hands slid over her warm, wet skin, and by the time he was done she was more than ready to reciprocate.
Cody made it difficult for her to wash him in return because he kept distracting her with kisses. “We should hurry before the water goes cold.”
“Won’t happen. The tank just continues to heat up so there’s always hot water.” He went back to kissing her, and by the time they rinsed off and got dry, Autumn felt good and thoroughly loved.
Love.
If she hadn’t been quite sure before this evening that she was in love with Cody Whittaker, she was sure as hell positive now. The younger of the Whittaker twins had captured her heart, but a long-term relationship between them would be impossible.
And she had no idea what she was going to do about it.
8
It was 5:30 a.m., and although the sun had yet to rise up through the dark to illuminate the sky for another day, Autumn was as cheerful as could be.
She hummed happily to herself as she carefully pulled the tray of freshly baked pies out of the two industrial sized ovens the large kitchen at the back of the Grant family store housed.
How her mother had ever talked her miserly father into such an expense Autumn had no idea, but she was thrilled Ruth had managed it.
Having two enormous ovens made it so much easier for the women to bake their pies, and it also meant Autumn could experiment with pastries and other baked goods at the same time.
She should have been exhausted, having only gotten about four hours of sleep. Cody had kept her up long past her normal bedtime, exploring her naked body with his mouth, tongue, fingers, and cock.
Once the tray of pies was sitting on top of the stove to cool, Autumn moved back to the counter she was working from and closed her eyes for a few moments.
Images from the previous night popped into her head. Of how he had stripped her naked, kissing her newly bared skin.
How he’d coaxed her onto his bed, persuaded her to open her legs for him.
How he’d kissed his way slowly down her body, taking his time to plot a path with his lips.
She’d been so nervous about letting him lick her intimately, especially since her previous lover had made it clear it was a no-go zone, but she’d felt assured her lover had very much wanted to pleasure her, and in the end, she hadn’t been able to resist him.
Her body tingled at the memory of his tongue licking her up and down. Lapping up her arousal as she moaned out his name. Sucking her clit into his mouth, her hips bucking up as she pushed his head closer.
He hadn’t seemed to mind, and when her first orgasm of the night had slammed into her, she’d clutched the sheets so tightly her knuckles had gone white.
When he’d finally stopped teasing her and had slid his deliciously thick, hard cock inside her…
Autumn’s eyes flew open again when she realized she’d let out a moan. Thank God she was alone in the kitchen. Her mother had not yet arrived at the store but would be there momentarily.
Autumn and Ruth had never been required to advertise their baking business. Word of mouth had spread from tourists who’d visited Aurora Springs and had sampled their wares.
Between Stella’s Diner and the Whittakers serving their pies and tarts for dessert as part of their bed and breakfast business, as well as the dinners provided for their ghost tours, their baking was known in every county from Aurora Springs to as far away as Denver.
Her mother arrived around six as Autumn was boxing up the first lot of pies, having let them cool down. “Good morning, Momma.” She bounded over to her mom and hugged her tightly, kissing
her cheek.
Ruth’s smile was wide as she tucked a stray lock of hair behind her daughter’s ear. “Good morning, my girl. How was your night?”
Autumn felt the blush rise in her cheeks. Her mother knew exactly whose bed she’d slept in the night before. “It was…” She trailed off, trying to find the right word to describe it adequately. “Incredible.”
“I’m glad. Cody’s a wonderful young man and it’s obvious he makes you happy. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for you, honey. To be happy.”
She grinned, and her hand moved to cover her mouth before she wrenched it by her side again. She wasn’t going to hide how much she adored her boyfriend, not from her mother. “He makes me happy.”
Ruth nodded, her hand coming up to cup her daughter’s cheek. “Good. You seem remarkably chipper for a young lady I’d wager didn’t get much sleep last night.”
Autumn blinked rapidly, and when her mother winked her face went red again. “Momma!”
“What?” Ruth laughed. “I was young once, too.”
Autumn patted her cheeks as the timer went off. “Saved by the bell.”
She went over to the second oven and removed the trays of pies and other pastries she’d made earlier that morning. After placing them on the stovetop, she removed her oven mitts and poked at the choux pastry on the eclairs she’d made. It hadn’t puffed up as much as she’d expected, and she surveyed them all carefully with a frown.
The bell above the front door of the store suddenly tinkled, and a familiar voice sounded. “Hello, anyone here?”
Ruth bustled over to the kitchen doorway which led to the store. “Come on in, Cody.”
Autumn’s heart began to thump so loudly, she was sure he’d be able to hear it from the front door. She busied her hands so she didn’t take a running leap into his arms.
Climbing out of his bed had been incredibly tough, but the pies the diner relied on every weekday morning weren’t going to bake themselves, so she’d crawled into his spacious shower and stood under the hot water until she’d woken up.
Dressing quietly, she’d leaned over Cody’s sleeping form to kiss him goodbye, before hopping into her car and driving the fifteen minutes to the Grant family store.
