Hallie
I wasn’t sure what he had in mind as he paid for my nearly untouched food. Colton moved from the booth and offered me his hand as I stared at him. I sighed and took it, allowing him to lead me out the front door and on the sidewalk. It was getting late, and the sun was going down, casting a gorgeous glow around me. I smiled and took it in, realizing how much time had passed since I took the time to do this.
Colton led me to the old pickup truck that he drove. I recognized it as Gus’ and smiled at the faded blue vehicle.
“Is there anywhere around here to look at the stars? A place out of town?” He asked, and I stared at him under the light of the street lamp.
“You don’t know it?” I was surprised, and he shrugged with his crooked smile.
“I haven’t needed to before now. Is your dad okay?” Colton asked as I blushed.
“Bri went there to watch over him. She’s been spending nights there with me. We see each other plenty.” I laughed softly as I admitted the truth.
“Good. Show me your place.” Colton opened the passenger door of the truck and I slipped inside, setting my purse down on the floor. I felt like a teenager on her first date, which was silly. I’d dated. I just never considered having sex with anyone before.
What was different about Colton? He got into the driver’s seat, starting the engine, and gazing at me.
I guided him out of town on the main road. We took a right about five miles away and I ran a hand through my hair. I never expected this tonight. I’d seen him and gotten over it by the time Dad insisted Bri and I get out by ourselves.
“Park right on the side here,” I told him as Colton stopped just off the road. “This is my place.” He got out to let me out before taking a low look over the moving grass in the wind. “Let’s walk the path down here.”
He led me down to a spot underneath a huge oak tree overlooking the meadow. The moon was full tonight and reflected on the pond several feet away from us. It was perfect, and it hit me how much I missed my thinking spot.
“This is gorgeous.” He told me as I nodded with pride.
“I love it here. I used to come here and think.” I told him as he glanced at the ground below us.
“Want to sit? I didn’t think to bring a blanket.” Colton looked sheepish as I looked down at my outfit.
“Old jeans, I don’t care.” We settled on the grass and stared over the miles of green grass and ponds for a few quiet moments. I looked towards the sky and smiled at the brilliant stars shimmering in the dark sky.
I could sense his gaze. But I felt bit shy to look back at him. I continued looking at the stars and admiring the beautiful night. He suddenly slipped his hand over my leg possessive. It made me shiver. I glanced at him and I licked my lips nervously. His eyes were on my face. There was no way to ignore his touch now.
“I haven’t spent any real time with anyone in town apart from my family. I took over the yard quickly and threw myself into that the way that I do. I didn’t want to complicate things in town for myself or Gramps. Small town and all.”
“Something changed when I saw you. I felt something inside that I can’t deny. I don’t want to.” He said looking into my eyes.
“How long have you lived here?” I asked as he rocked his head in thought, back and forth.
“A couple years. When I saw I haven’t been with anyone in town, I can’t say the same for other ones. Not a lot. I’m not a man whore but there were nights that… I guess I needed company.” His eyes locked on mine. “It was over when I came back home. I don’t like people to stick to me most of the time.”
“Now?” I asked softly as my heart raced inside of my chest.
“I wouldn’t mind getting to know you.” Colton admitted as I couldn’t help but smile. “Can I kiss you, Hallie?”
“Oh, god. Yes. Yes, you can.” But I felt weak to utter these words from my mouth, like my tongue was frozen.
“I only nodded in reply.”
He reached out a hand to cup my face, stroking my cheek as he searched my face. 3HeHEhhHe leaned down and pressed his lips to mine gently as fire took over my body. I’d never felt a kiss like this and it was chaste. I moaned against him and he moved closer, slipping a hand around my back to pull me against him. His lips moved against mine, his mouth controlling mine as he slid his tongue through my now parted lips. I tasted the tea that he was drinking as well as peppermint and I reached for his neck.
Colton moved me over his body as our kiss deepened. It was slow and intense, and I pressed against him with one hand in his messy hair and the other sliding down his back. Colton was wearing a fitted t-shirt that showed off his fit body, but I could feel it as my hand traced his skin through the soft, thin material.
I was molten heat as he slipped one hand down to cup my ass, pulling me as close to him as he could. My nipples were hard and needy and my thighs burning as he moved against me. Thinking back to my handful of dates in New York, they were nothing like this. I couldn’t even remember why I decided to date them.
I never felt like sleeping with any of them. But Colton was… electric. I felt my willpower fading as he tilted his head and deepened the kiss. He was skilled at this and made me feel like I was boneless as I felt him press his hardness against me.
“Hallie. You make me crazy,” Colton told me.
“Same with you. I’ve never felt this way before.” Not even… I pushed the thought away. “I want… I think I need… you.”
“I never… I had never…. I mean… I never had sex before.” I said with a lot of difficulty and I blushed at the same time.
“What?” He asked. I don’t know why he was shocked at this.
“You’re okay with this going further?” Colton asked.
I nodded weakly. I wanted him with all my being shivered as he slipped my shirt over my head. I was wearing a thin camisole underneath that handled my small size well, not needing a thick bra. Colton dropped my shirt and eyed me hungrily as I tried to cover my pert nipples.
“No.” He said as he reached for the hem and lifted it.
I was naked up top and bit my lip.
I reached for his shirt. I tugged it off and dropped it to the side before kissing his jaw and neck. Colton responded easily to all of it, the proof of what I was doing to him between my legs. He stroked my skin, and I felt the heat of him against me as I claimed his lips again. Colton slipped off my jeans and worshiped my body under the tree, the light of the moon making it perfect for me to see what he was doing to me.
I reached my hands into his hair as Colton buried his face between my thighs. His mouth covered me as his tongue stroked me gently. I always imagined this in my head, but it was intense. I’d only been touched a few times and not to this extent. I rocked against him, surprised at my need and lack of control. “Colton. Oh. God.”
“You taste so good,” he murmured as he spread me open wider. His tongue circled my sensitive nub quickly as I felt something shift inside. Before I knew what was happening, I was crying out his name and jerking against him.
Colton pulled away from me, pushing his jeans down his muscled thighs. He dropped over me, kissing my mouth hungrily as I felt his hard cock nudging my thigh. I could taste myself on him as our tongues danced together, reaching out to pull him closer. “I want you,” I moaned as he pulled away to stare at me.
“Are you sure? This is going to be uncomfortable, Hallie. It might hurt.” His eyes were filled with concern as I stroked his hair.
“I know that you’ll take care of me. I’m not scared, and I haven’t met anyone I wanted this with until now.” I pulled him down for a soft kiss and Colton pressed his tip against my entrance. He groaned and moved back to reach into his jeans for something, returning to my lips as he dropped something on the ground.
I shivered as I watched him slip a condom over his cock. Did he already know this is going to happen? I smiled at this thought.
Colton pressed slowly inside of me, capturing my lips with his. He was careful with me and moved slowly, allowing me to adjust to him. There was a little pain with the pressure and I turned my head to see the grass blowing in the breeze as he kissed my neck. I never imagined that I would experience this here of all places. It was perfect.
I turned back towards him and felt him slide all the way inside of me. I grunted as I let him fill me, pressing up to kiss him. Colton handed me the control and once the pain faded, I moved back to encourage him to move. Colton stared at me before he drew back, sliding into me again and again as I met his movements. He was caring and passionate, a little rough and careless. I wanted all of him and wrapped my legs around him as I dug my nails into his back.
“Hallie,” he groaned as he filled me, jerking slowly.
I felt him harden. I whimpered as the pressure swept over me again and threw my head back as I came again.
“Colton,” I groaned as he followed me a beat later. This was amazing, and I knew that Colton was the perfect person for this realized that New York felt like a lifetime ago.
I lay back on the grass when we were finished. Everything was amazing about what just happened, even as fast as it was. It felt right. I was just coming back to a reality in which he was working for my dad. It could get complicated and end horribly. I knew that I was leaving town and would be able to walk away. I just didn’t want to think about that right now.
