The three-and-a-half-hour drive from Nashville back to Hemlock Creek took closer to five hours because of a leisurely lunch and two rest-stop make-out sessions. Now they were barreling down a stretch of Highway 76 toward home. Liddie had her feet on the dashboard with her seat reclined, and Tobias had his hand tucked between her thighs. He swore she was almost purring while he stroked her soft skin.
“What are thinking about, lady?”
“Oh, some not very ladylike things,” she said with a throaty chuckle.
“Like?”
“Like the fact that our little wrestling match in the back seat was fun.”
“Oh, did you like that?”
“Oh yeah. I liked that.”
“What else?”
“That if I moved my legs just a little bit, you could . . .” She sucked in a breath when Tobias dragged a thick finger down the seam of her damp folds and back up, barely grazing that sensitive nub. “That’s perfect—just like that.”
Tobias chuckled and didn’t stop stroking her, sneaking little peeks at the expanse of thigh her hiked-up skirt exposed. The road was deserted. They hadn’t seen another car in half an hour, so Tobias began stroking her a little harder, a little faster.
Liddie must have noticed his eyes flicker, because she grinned and undid another button of her dress top. Then she popped open the clasp of her bra, freeing both of her breasts.
“I normally hate bras that close in the front, but I bought one. It’s a sign, don’t you think?”
She was definitely purring now, rolling her taut nipples between her thumb and forefinger and rocking her hips just a little. Tobias thought he was going to lose his mind. He continued to stroke a little harder, a little faster, and Liddie did the same until she was thrashing in the front seat and finally crying out, her head thrown back, as Tobias’s slick, thick fingers plunged into her.
“Dammit, Liddie. We’re never gonna get home.”
Tobias turned off the highway and went down a small side road until he saw a small copse of hemlock trees. He parked in the shade and pushed his seat all the way back. Liddie got a naughty gleam in her eye and stripped the rest of her dress off so she was completely naked in his front seat. Tobias had barely slipped his jeans over his hips before Liddie was on him, guiding his cock to her entrance. She sank down and ground against him, rubbing her bare breasts against his chest while he kneaded her ass.
The best part of loving her like this, in the full light of day, was that he could see all of her beautiful body, could see the way she looked at him, never taking her eyes from his while they pushed and pulled against each other, drawing out all their pleasure from one another. When she was so close that she was quaking with want and her legs were shaking from need, he grasped her hand in his and together they rolled the top of her mound. She shuddered and jolted, her core gripping him as he jerked inside her. Liddie exhaled a sigh, and it was Tobias’s turn to holler. He bit at her breast, not too hard but enough to leave a mark. She squeaked when his teeth grazed her nipple, but when he kissed the spot he’d bitten, she let out a small, content sigh and collapsed against him.
Tobias hugged her tightly and kissed her neck, little tiny kisses that made her shiver and smile. He loved seeing that smile, loved feeling her soft, pliant body curled into him, loved that he could make her fall apart and that he could make her whole. He loved her, period, and decided it was high time he told her, not wanting her to have heard it only in his acceptance speech.
“I love you, Liddie. I always have. I always will.” He kissed her bare shoulder. “I . . . just love you.”
Liddie threw herself at him, hugging him tightly with her arms, her legs, and her core, for he was still buried deep inside her.
“Holy!” he said with a breathy chuckle, and she laughed against his neck.
“I love you, too, Toby. Always have, always will.” Liddie swallowed hard, and a single tear ran down her cheek. Tobias kissed it away, and then he squeezed her waist in his big hands.
“Stay the night with me?” he asked.
She nodded. Tobias palmed her ass and then gave it a sharp slap. Liddie’s eyes grew wide and she bleated a little, surprised laugh, and Tobias winked at her.
“Okay, woman. You need to pull your clothes back on, or we’ll never get home. And I need to recover some, because I’m not planning on letting you sleep a wink tonight.”
“Tobias!”
“Just lettin’ you know, babe. Just lettin’ you know.”
