American Honey

  He pulled me back up so we were facing each other. “That’s it,” he urged me. “Come all over my cock.”

  He started pumping harder, clutching me tight. He buried his face in my neck and thrust one more time before whispering my name and releasing deep inside me. We held each other tight until we came down from the high of our climaxes.

  “That was definitely worth the wait,” he murmured and kissed my lips softly, staying inside me.

  “For sure,” I agreed, wondering if he could hear how hard my heart was beating in my chest.

  “Now that we got that out of the way, let’s go inside so I can make love to you properly.” He gave me a sly smile and moved towards the dock, holding onto me.

  “Sounds good to me.” It was still fairly light out and I wasn’t sure about making it to the cottage naked without someone seeing us. “How about you throw on some shorts and go inside to get some towels?”

  “Sure.” He untangled himself from me and climbed up on the dock. I admired his tight ass the whole time, thinking how I would love to sink my teeth into that later. He pulled on his shorts and turned around, catching me watching him.

  “I’ll be right back,” he winked at me and walked back up toward the cottage.

  I sighed contentedly while I waited for him to return. While I hadn’t imagined our first time in the water, it seemed fitting and it certainly was hot. If that was a small taste of the sparks between us, I couldn’t wait for more.

  “Hurry up,” I called impatiently. I needed him again already and I had a feeling I would never be able to get enough.

  Chapter Eight ~ JT

  “Night That You’ll Never Forget”

  Holy shit.

  I had to walk up to the cottage carefully so I didn’t fall over. My knees were still trembling from what had just happened. That was a few firsts for me: first time I had sex in the water, the first time it ever felt like that, and the first time it happened with someone I loved.

  I heard her call to me to hurry up and I chuckled. Oh I planned to get her back here and do all sorts of dirty things to her. I didn’t intend for our first time to go so quick. I wanted to take my time but I guess the past few weeks had been us taking our time. We were so consumed with our need for each other we couldn’t wait anymore.

  My cock stirred again, thinking about the way she responded to my touch. Underneath that cool exterior, she was a little sex kitten. I couldn’t wait to unleash more of it. I swelled with pride knowing that no one else here knew this side of her and she reserved it only for me. I planned to take full advantage of it.

  I found the towels and grabbed them before heading back out to her. She flashed me that smile that made my heart melt when she saw me. “It’s about time,” she teased and I shook my head with a grin. She was so sassy sometimes but I loved that about her.

  I held out a towel to conceal her while she climbed out of the water. I wrapped it tight around her and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Let’s go inside,” I said quietly and put my arm around her shoulder, leading her into the cottage. Neither of us said a word, but the desire was thick in the air.

  I helped her inside and she turned around to face me and dropped her towel. The moonlight shimmered in the window, revealing her gorgeous naked body. I didn’t get a very good look at it in the water, so I stopped to admire it for a minute. Her breasts were high and firm, a perfect handful, and her nipples tight peaks of desire. Her legs were long and firm and I remembered her mentioning a few times she was a runner, although she hadn’t had much time to run since she’d been here.

  I leaned down and ran my tongue over one breast, while my hand was cupping the other. She whimpered softly and put her arms around my neck. I sucked a nipple into my mouth and she threaded her hands in my hair with a sigh. “JT, make love to me,” she pleaded to me. I reached between us and ran my finger along her folds, excited to find her already swollen from her need for me.

  Those simple words ignited my already burning desire for her. Who was I to refuse her when she said my name and made a request like that? I stood up and she mewled with the disappointment of my mouth leaving her body. Soon enough I would be kissing her all over. I didn’t plan to leave any inch of skin untouched.

  I lifted her easily into my arms and she rested her head against my chest. I carried her down the hallway and she pointed to the first door. The door wasn’t shut tight, so I pushed it open slowly with my foot. Her room had a perfect view of the lake and when I set her down gently on the bed, her body was bathed in the moonlight.

  I stood at the edge of the bed, my eyes on hers while I removed my shorts. I knelt on the bed between her knees and she propped herself up on one elbow. I pressed my forehead against hers. “I love you, Kara,” I said, my voice thick with desire.

  She smiled and reached to touch my face. “I love you too, JT.”

  I covered her mouth with mine, kissing her deeply. She tried to wrap herself around me so I could slip inside of her, but she was going to have to wait for that. My body was more than ready for her, but I wanted to touch and taste her more.

  My lips moved down to her neck, nibbling and sucking until she was panting beneath me. Next I paid attention to each of her breasts, licking the nipples until they were so hard and she was whimpering and arching her back off the bed with need.

  I almost lost my resolve; I wanted to sink deep inside her right then. Instead I moved between her legs and put my hands in the inside of her thighs. I spread them wide for me, biting back a groan when I saw how wet and swollen she was for me.

  Leaning forward, I ran my tongue along her. She cried out and clutched the bed sheets. I licked again, this time slower. My mouth continued its assault on her, my lips finally finding her clit and sucking it into my mouth. I slipped two fingers inside of her at the same time and soon she was crying out my name and exploding with her climax.

  When the last tremor left her, I kissed the inside of her thigh gently and moved back up her body. She took my face in both of her hands and kissed me hard. Damn, that was hot.

  She tore her lips from mine. “JT, please. I need you inside me now.”

  This time I didn’t refuse her. I took my cock in my hand and slowly guided it into her, closing my eyes and moaning as her wet heat surrounded me. I could get lost in her forever.

  We moved as one, staring into each other’s eyes. I loved to watch her desire dance in those brown eyes of hers. I slipped a hand in between us and my thumb pressed against her swollen nub. She moaned and nodded; from the way she was twitching and pulsing around me, I knew she was going to come soon.

  I bent my head down and found a nipple. I bathed it with my tongue and when I put the edge of my teeth on it, she tensed and called out my name. She shook under me from the force of her orgasm. Her pussy milked my cock with each wave of pleasure and soon I was tumbling over the edge of my climax along with her. I called out her name, my voice a loud whisper.

  I couldn’t believe it, but the second time was even better than the first. I bet each time I had sex with Kara, it would get better and better. I had been with my fair share of women, a couple times even more than one at a time, but nothing compared to the way it felt to be with her. I finally knew what they meant when they called it ‘making love’.

  I eventually rolled off of her, keeping an arm around her shoulder and holding her tight against me. She flung a leg over mine and put her arm across my waist. She snuggled into me and I swore I heard her purr like a cat with satisfaction.

  “That was amazing,” she said, finally breaking the silence.

  “That doesn’t even describe it,” I replied, rubbing her arm with my hand. I didn’t want to ruin the moment, but I had been thinking about what was going to happen to us when she went back to Madison. “When do you go back to Madison?” I asked tentatively.

  Her body tensed against me and I knew she had been thinking about the same thing. “I don’t know. I will know more when Grandma and Grandpa get back tomorrow. The
doctor was going to give them a time frame of when Grandpa could be back on his feet more.”

  “Oh.” I didn’t know what else to say. Would I be selfish to ask her to stay? She had a whole other life in Madison – one I was pretty sure I had no place in.

  She sat up and swung a leg over me so she was straddling me. Her pussy was right over my cock and it immediately came back to life. “Let’s not talk about that tonight. Tomorrow we can, but tonight, let’s just enjoy each other.”

  She circled her hips on me and my eyes rolled back into my head with pleasure. “Baby, when you’re on top of me like that, you can do whatever you want,” I panted.

  She got up on her knees and grabbed my erection, impaling herself on it. “Good to know,” she replied breathlessly as she began to ride me. I let her use my body, moving any way she wanted to get her pleasure from me. I played with her nipples, twisting and pinching them slightly between my thumb and forefinger. She soon came hard, calling out my name. I wasn’t far behind, holding her down tight against me while my own orgasm ripped through me.

  There wasn’t much sleep to be had the rest of the night. After waiting so long to have sex, we were both insatiable. Things got a little interesting and we ended up doing it in the shower a couple of times and even on the kitchen counter. We laughed so hard when we cleaned it off, picturing her grandma’s face if she knew what we had done where she loved to cook.

  Around four in the morning, she got up, wrapped in a blanket, and made us a pot of coffee. We took our mugs and went out onto the dock to watch the sunrise.

  “I don’t want you to leave,” I finally admitted. “I love you and want to see where this is going. I know we weren’t going to talk about it, but I want you to know that.”

  She nodded and took a sip of her coffee. “Thanks for telling me how you feel.”

  She didn’t say anything else and I was worried she didn’t feel the same. I wanted her to tell me she didn’t want to go either and she was going to stay here so we could be together.

  I set my mug down on the table next to us. I took hers and did the same. I pulled her onto my lap and positioned us so we were still wrapped in our blankets, but she was straddling me. I touched her face with my fingertips. “I want to make love to you again out here as the sun comes up. This is where it all began.”

  She bit her lip and nodded, moving so I slid inside of her easily. We held each other tight and she buried her face in my neck. She was grinding her hips against me and I could tell from her rapid breathing she was getting close to release.

  “Come with me, baby,” I whispered, my lips on her ear and my hot breath against her skin.

  She nodded again and let out a harsh breath when she released. I soon followed after, thrusting hard up into her and holding onto her when I came deep inside her.

  I heard a sniffle come from her and moved so I could look at her face. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. “What’s wrong?” I asked, concerned I hurt her.

  “I don’t want to leave you,” she hiccupped. “I love you.”

  “Baby, I love you too.” I reached up and wiped the tears away. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. I’m not going to let you get away from me.”

  She smiled and took a shaky breath. I gave her a confident smile, but on the inside I was worried. What future did this country boy have with a city girl?

  Chapter Nine ~ Kara

  “Fallin’ For You”

  I was almost late in opening the diner Saturday morning thanks to JT and his antics in the shower. He dropped me off and we made plans for him to come get me later.

  He kissed me softly before I got out of his truck. “Thanks for last night.” He kissed me again. “And this morning.” He grinned and I couldn’t help but laugh.

  “I feel like I should be thanking you. But I’m going to be so tired today with no sleep.” This time I kissed him. “Totally worth it though.”

  A few cars pulled into the parking lot and I reluctantly pulled away from him. “I have to go before I have angry customers.”

  “I’ll pick you up at three. Just call or text if you need me sooner.” He had to work at the shop today like he did every Saturday.

  “I will.” I reached for the door handle on the truck when he put a hand on my arm to stop me.

  “I love you, Kara.”

  A shiver went up and down my spine. I don’t think I would ever get tired of hearing him say that. “I love you too, JT. But I have to go now.”

  “I know,” he laughed. “See you later.”

  I opened the door and jumped out of the truck, rushing to unlock the door of the diner. I turned on the lights and got a few things ready before turning the open sign on. The place was quickly filled with customers and I had no time to even think about JT.

  Around mid-morning I took a break so I could send JT a text. I hadn’t looked at my phone since last night and I wasn’t surprised to see a few texts from Brittany and a couple of voicemails from Grandma. I even had one from my parents.

  I sent JT a quick text to let him know I missed him and then listened to my voicemails. I almost dropped the phone when I heard the one from my parents. It was my mother and she mentioned they were coming to visit today. Shit! They wanted to talk to me about coming back home.

  I had been in denial so far this summer, living in the moment and not thinking about them. I always knew in the back of my mind they wouldn’t want me living here or dating someone like JT, but I didn’t care. At first I was having fun with him, not sure if it would even be more than a summer fling. I knew it was so much more than that now.

  My hands shook as I hit the keys to delete the message. I listened to one from Grandma. She warned me about my mother’s call and told me the doctor gave Grandpa the ok to get back to work in a couple of weeks.

  I couldn’t go home, not now. My parents would freak if they found out I wanted to stay here. They had very different ideas of how I should live my life.

  My mom grew up living a simple life with Grandma and Grandpa here in Mountain. She wasn’t very content, envious of the people that had cottages on the lake who came for the weekend. She managed to snag my dad, a surgeon from Madison, and got the hell out of town.

  We came to visit all the time, but my mom had gotten snobby now that she was married to a doctor. She would look down on some of the locals sometimes and I could always hear her arguing with Grandma that she had raised her different than that.

  Mom and Dad had certain expectations of me. They wanted me to go to college, have a career in something they approved of, and marry well. I went to college, but they assumed my degree in English Lit would be a stepping stone to law school. When I told them I had no plans for that, they sent me here to think about what I wanted to do with my life.

  I got a text back from JT, telling me he missed me too, and tears filled my eyes. I was never surer of what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to stay here. I could help Grandma and Grandpa and maybe one day take the diner over. In Madison I felt a little hopeless and lost; here I felt like I was home.

  I wasn’t sure if I wanted my parents to meet JT while they were here. I wasn’t ashamed of him by any means, but I knew how they would feel about their daughter dating a man that made a living getting his hands dirty. If they thought a boy was the reason I wanted to stay, they would dismiss my feelings and tell me I was being foolish.

  One of the other waitresses called me to the front. I took a deep breath and regained my composure. I would figure this out. Hopefully Grandma would get here before my parents did and I could talk to her about this. She would support me.

  In the middle of the lunch rush she and Grandpa walked in to the diner. I finished taking someone’s order and came over to for a hug. “I take it you heard,” she whispered, patting my back.

  I pulled back at arm’s length and nodded. “I don’t want to leave.”

  “I know you don’t, dear, but you know they’re going to push you to. Your mother hated living here growing up
and she won’t be happy that you want to settle down here.”

  I bit my lip. “I don’t care. I’m not a child anymore and can make my own decisions.” My voice was shaky and I was already on the verge of tears.

  She nodded and rubbed my arms. Grandpa came up behind me. “What’s wrong? Did that boy hurt you?” He frowned and I couldn’t help but laugh.

  “No, Grandpa. This has nothing to do with JT.”

  “It’s your daughter. Kara is upset that she’s coming to talk to her about going back to Madison. She wants to stay with us,” Grandma said calmly.

  “Then stay with us,” he said and shrugged. I loved how he was so matter-of-fact. He made it seem so simple.

  Out of the corner of my eye I noticed my parents’ big black Escalade pull into the parking lot. “They’re here,” I whispered, a feeling of dread coming over me.

  “It’ll be fine. I promise.” She kissed my cheek and we turned to greet them.

  I watched Mom get out of the car, her Chanel bag hanging from her forearm, dressed in her designer shorts and blouse. Dad was wearing his typical khaki shorts and golf shirt. I had to admit I had missed him. He was often on my side when it came to my Mom and I knew he went along with her most of the time to keep the peace.

  They came inside and I went to him. “Dad!” I greeted him with a hug and kiss. He held me tight and I closed my eyes, fighting back the tears.

  “Hey baby girl,” he replied and squeezed me tight before letting me go. “You look great – so tan.”

  “You should be wearing sunscreen, Kara,” my mom admonished me and came over to give me a loose hug. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at my dad and he fought back a chuckle.

  “Hello, Mother,” I said drying, returning her half-hearted hug. It blew me away that someone as loving as my grandma gave birth to my mother. They couldn’t be more different.
