ROOK

“ Y ou like me,” Kitty repeated, “and yet, sometimes, you seem hesitant.” She leaned up and braced herself over me, causing her blonde braid to slide over her shoulder. “Tell me why.”

“So direct,” I mused up at her.

“We’re in the middle of nowhere, under the stars where no one can hear us. We can talk freely.”

She had a point. “Alright,” I replied. “Well… Sometimes, I think that if I let myself give in, then I’ll be unable to stop. Everything about you draws me in. You’re intoxicating, and the moment I dared to accept that, it was almost overwhelming how much I wanted you. But then I get… stuck.”

Kitty tilted her head. “On?”

“On our differences. I’m friends with your father. You’re my charge, and I’m responsible for you. I’m a lot older than you. There’s so much to take into consideration. We’re from different worlds. I’m an ex-soldier with one too many issues.”

“And I’m a rich brat with no sense.” Kitty smirked. “I don’t care about any of those things. Well, no. I do. I care because they’re important, but I’ve already made it clear that I don’t care about how old you are. I’m old enough to make my own decisions, and I want you. I don’t give a shit what my father thinks because he doesn’t get to control my life. You’re an ex-soldier, which is hot.” Her smile lit up. “But I know that comes with challenges. Literally, the only thing that can get between us is your own head.”

She talked so much sense, which threw me about as much as her being younger than me did. At this moment, she spoke with the wisdom I should carry in my heart. I seemed to have misplaced it for the moment.

“When I saw you under the lights and among the stalls, I just knew that there was no one else I wanted to be with. Which feels kind of fast, and I don’t want to be the one who messes things up because of my own insecurities, but if we’re to really make a go of this, then we have to think about these things.”

“Hush,” Kitty murmured, and she caressed my face with her fingertips. “You’re overthinking it. I like you. A lot. You like me. Everything else is just noise because we’re both adults, and sure, maybe down the line, there will be some tough moments or hard decisions, but we can tackle them together. Besides…”

Kitty very slowly slid onto my lap, so I quickly made sure the blankets still covered her.

“It’s Christmas. It’s the most romantic time to fall in love…” She leaned down and kissed me, and I was utterly lost to her.

She was right. I was letting my mind run away with me because it was what I was trained to do. Always be alert, always on the lookout, and plan twelve steps ahead, just in case.

And now, Kitty was in my lap asking me just to exist with her, to take it day by day, and it was equally the easiest and hardest thing I had ever been asked to do.

I couldn’t resist her, and maybe that was the key. Latching onto her free spirit could help me exist in the moment and not two weeks in the future.

As she kissed me, Kitty slowly rolled her hips down against my own, and I was powerless to stop the surge of heat and blood that flowed south. How could I? She was gorgeous in her knitted dress and sparkly earrings, with her red lips glittering with what tasted like berry lip gloss. Her hands spread out flat against my chest when the kiss broke, and she arched upward, throwing her head back with a loud moan.

Back and forth her hips worked against me, grinding down in a rhythm and drawing a hotter and hotter reaction. My cock swelled under the press of her pussy rocking down exactly over me. I watched the pleasure dance across her face, and she grinned down at me.

“Well, hello, little guy,” she teased.

“Little guy?” I snorted. “He’s little to you?”

“Mmm, I’m not sure how I want to answer. If I say no, will you rely on him to do all the work?” Kitty asked coyly. Both her hands slid down my chest to my abdomen, then one slid down further as she raised her hips up.

I placed my hands around her waist, guiding her as she worked at my zipper and belt while also making sure the blanket stayed around her. Nothing would kill the mood faster than the cold, which the heat building between us was keeping at bay.

Soon, my hard cock was free and in her hand. She leaned down over me and claimed my lips, kissing me repeatedly with soft, breathless moans. All the while, her hand stroked over my cock with ease. From base to tip, she worked at me and giggled each time precum oozed from the tip. She’d catch it on her fingertips and drag the slickness down my cock, making her palm glide easier over me.

My heart raced. Sweat broke out over my brow, and my abdomen began flexing repeatedly as she worked me closer and closer to orgasm.

Then she stopped. She stopped kissing me. Her hand stopped moving. I existed on the cusp for a few seconds until I was able to draw myself back with a grunt.

“You tease,” I groaned.

Kitty laughed and kissed me again. “You can’t until I do, okay?”

Through magic I had yet to understand, suddenly, Kitty’s panties were in her hand and she tossed them out of the covers. She leaned up far enough that the blanket fell away, and a swirl of biting cold air nipped at any bare skin it could find. The cold grasp around my cock made me jolt and gasp, then Kitty slotted herself over me and sank down onto my cock with a deep, low moan.

From biting cold to the intense heat of her pussy, it took every ounce of my willpower not to come there and then. She sank down slowly, and I pressed my head back against the flatbed with a grunt.

Don’t come. Don’t come. Fuck!

She settled in my lap, filled to the brim, then she grabbed the blanket out of my hands and pulled it over her head. As she leaned down, the blankets came with her, and she quickly enclosed us in darkness, safe under the blanket.

“Live in the moment, Rook,” Kitty whispered against my lips.

I was lost to her. Every kiss was sweet and slow. Every rock of her hips as she took me to the base and then up was pulling deep at something inside me, soothing my soul in a way I’d never experienced before. Her hands caressed my cheeks and my jaw, then down my neck. Her thighs tightened against my hips, and she kept the pace slow, making my agreement with her almost impossible.

I couldn’t come until she wanted me to. I was doing my best and trying to focus elsewhere, but Kitty had an innate ability to bring even my wandering thoughts right back to her.

The plushness of her lips. The softness of her breasts as they pressed against my chest. The teasing touch of her fingertips. The soft, breathy moans she whimpered against my lips. The tightness of her pussy as she flexed her muscles and rode me slowly but firmly. The heat of her slick against my skin and soaking into my boxers.

Everything was about her, and I was infatuated. I caressed her hips, stroked up her back, and cuddled her closer, wove my tongue into her mouth to dance with her own. Then I slid one hand down between us and as soon as I located her clit, Kitty jumped.

“You might be in control.” I chuckled low. “But I know how to make you feel good.”

“Mmhmm,” Kitty moaned, sinking her teeth lightly into my lower lip as she pulled away. “Fuck. That’s it…”

Her hips started to roll forward with each movement down my cock, and she rocked between my length and my fingers, teasing that hard little bundle of nerves. Now that she had something to grind against, there was no stopping her, and it was slightly selfish on my part.

My balls were throbbing in time to my heartbeat, aching for a release I was fighting to deny. I just needed her to come and we could collapse together.

“Oh, yes,” Kitty gasped, picking up the pace of her hips. “Oh, fuck, yes. Yes!” She cradled my face with both hands and kissed me as her rocking finally became hard and fast. She was chasing an end that was near torture for me, but it was so delicious, too.

I lost track of how long we were caught in that motion, but Kitty suddenly surged upward and knocked the blanket free. With the stars twinkling around her head and a bite of cold at my neck, she came with a scream and dug her fingernails hard into my chest. As soon as her pussy clamped down around me, my mind unlocked, and I came with a loud cry. Rising up, I cuddled Kitty to my chest, and we stayed like that, shuddering and gasping while pleasure worked its way through my entire body. From head to toe, every nerve lit up sharp and bright before, with a gasp, my cock finished twitching inside her.

Kitty lazily lifted her head and smirked at me. “Living in the moment is better, don’t you think?”
