Emie went up onto her toes and kissed me, her lips soft and sweet against mine—and I swore, for the first time since I’d met her, she didn’t seem haunted. “So, tell me…what do you have planned?”
I wouldn’t press her for more information on who she was—because at this point, it didn’t really matter. All I wanted was to make the most of our time together, so that once this week was over, it’d be nearly impossible for her to walk away from what was between us.
I tucked a lock of her red hair behind her ear, and resisted the insatiable need I had to get her naked. “You mean…other than making you come repeatedly?”
“You have a one-track mind.” Yet she still kissed me, trailing her kisses down my neck while she reached down between us to stroke my hard cock as I bit back a groan. “Maybe we should go for a hike…or head into town.”
“Baby…we won’t be going anywhere if you keep that up.” In the end, it quickly became clear that she’d come to the same conclusion.
My heart hammered inside my chest when she dropped to her knees before me, her fingers making quick work of the button and zipper on my jeans, my cock springing free as she pushed my jeans and boxers down past my hips.
Fucking hell…
She ran her tongue along the slit of my cock, licking up the pre-cum that glistened at the tip, while stroking me, making it nearly impossible for me not to sink my fingers into her hair and thrust my cock past her lips. Teasing me, she swirled her tongue around the head of my cock and then swallowed me down, taking more of my length with each pass and moaning against my shaft as I thrust into her sweet mouth.
“Sweetness…you’re going to make me come.” I knotted her long hair around my fist, holding her head where I needed her, forcing her to take more of my length, which she eagerly did, her pace quickening. “That’s it, baby. Take all of me…just like that.”
My orgasm was building at the base of my spine as her needy little moans vibrated against my shaft, until I could take no more. My cock pulsed streams of hot cum down her throat as she swallowed it all down before pulling free to lick me clean, all while she looked up at me with those amazing green eyes.
And I swore, in that moment, with her eyes locked on mine, she claimed my heart as hers. There was no going back for me.
I pulled her up off her knees, desperate to bury my face in her sweet cunt, but she gave me a sweet kiss and then slipped away, teasing me with a smile. “How about we go for a hike? The sun’s actually out—for now.”
“Baby…let me take care of you.” I snagged her hand and pulled her close, relieved when she didn’t fight me.
I wanted to taste her on my lips…to drink her up and have her screaming out my name as I made her come, pushing her from one orgasm to another.
“It can wait. Besides, I’ll feel guilty if you spent all that money on hiking boots and a winter jacket and I don’t ever get to use them.” Leaning into me, she gave me a playful smile, and I swore, it was like everything about her had changed once she decided to give me a week.
“I’d buy you a hundred jackets and pairs of boots if it meant you’d smile at me like that. And if going on a hike will make you happy, then that’s what we’ll do.” Besides, as remote as we were, I’d have her all to myself out in the woods, and there’d be nothing stopping us from fucking out in the fresh air.
The day turned out to be perfect for a hike, even though there was still a bit of a chill in the air, despite the sun in the sky. With Bear following behind us, pausing to sniff every few feet, we kept an easy pace as we wandered through the trees that canopied above us, and though we didn’t say a whole lot, the silence between us was comfortable.
“Do you see it?” Emie kept her voice low, despite her excitement, grabbing my hand as she tilted her head to a spot in the trees just beyond the path as we stood there, not moving.
“Yeah…I do.” The deer was beautiful, frozen in place as she watched us watching her before finally bolting in the opposite direction once she spotted Bear, who surprisingly enough was behaving himself instead of barreling through the trees for a chase.
“I’ve never seen a deer that close in the wild. She was just so pretty. And those eyes…” She jumped into my arms in her excitement, as I took the opportunity to kiss her. “I wish I could live someplace as peaceful as this.”
“You can, if you really want to.” I knew it was insane to be moving at such a breakneck pace, but I didn’t care. Blame it on the unusual circumstances of our meeting. All I knew was that I wanted her to stick around, and I’d do whatever it took to make that happen. “We can stay here as long as you’d like, baby.”
“Please, don’t. I can’t think beyond this one week, and I don’t want anything to ruin it—and thinking about my screwed-up life will do just that.” Her smile had faded, replaced by a furrowed brow as she bit her bottom lip, leaving me to regret mentioning anything that had to do with her future.
Though I didn’t want to push her or rock the boat, when things were so good between us, her reaction, once again, had me wondering just what sort of problems she was dealing with, especially now that it was clear that she had her memory back.
“I can help you, Em—you just need to let me in.” Though I wouldn’t say anything more, since I knew she didn’t want to discuss it.
I linked my hand with hers, continuing down the trail. We once again fell into silence, and I hated that there was now a tension that hung in the air between us.
The moment our trail skirted by a stream, I led the way over and found a big rocky outcrop of moss-covered rock for us to sit on. I held onto her hand as she climbed up, not wanting her to fall off or twist her ankle, and then sat down by her side as Bear wandered down by the water. “My dad used to take us camping when we’d come here for the summer. It was the perfect setup, since my mom could come out and sit by the campfire, and then head back to the house for the night and sleep in the comfort of her own bed.”
She shot me a small smile. “Can’t say that I blame her.”
“Honestly? I think it was a bit of a ploy to get some alone time with my dad, since he’d walk her back to the house. With six boys, I don’t think they got a whole lot of time to themselves.” I bumped her shoulder, glad that she seemed more relaxed again.
“Do you really think so? You know…if they ended up with six kids?” She let out a laugh that had me leaning in to steal a kiss.
“I guess you have a point there.”
