“I bought it a year ago when I knew I’d be staying with the lodge, and this would be a permanent move. Selling my old house and buying this one here felt like an excellent investment for me because I had money from it. I’m fixing it up here and there when I can, but I want to stick with the original style.” I sipped the cider, appreciating the holiday spices in the flavor. “There’s a full basement here that I’ve thought about fixing up and renting out as an apartment but haven’t moved past the planning stages so far. I don’t know if I want someone living there yet.”
“That’s a great idea to bring in some income. There’s always someone looking for a place to stay when they come to town, especially when it’s someone new at the lodge.” Avery nodded as my nerves seemed to settle. I’d been a little anxious about her arrival, but everything seemed to go well.
“Tell me about dessert. What are they called again?” I asked as I forked another bite of the duck.
“Beignets. It’s a simple pastry that’s a lot like a donut, and I had them the first time in college. They come from New Orleans and one reason I like them so much is because of the translation. It means nun’s farts in English and that always made me laugh, and they’re good. Mine have cinnamon sugar for a topping, but they’re common with powdered sugar as well.” We both laughed at her statement, and I could see on her face how much Avery loved baking.
“This cider is great. Is this what Charlie is promoting at the event?” I asked, holding up the bottle as she nodded.
“Yes, and I think it will be a big hit. It’s got such a good flavor, and I talked him into a six-pack of it when I saw Charlie earlier.” She grinned, and I nodded in agreement. “I’m sure this will draw people to the lodge.”
“He really gets into creating this, doesn’t he?” I asked, since I’d heard about his long nights at work from a few people.
“He’s always been a science nerd, and this just falls into that. Charlie is good at mixing flavors, though, and I think he’ll take this far.” Avery seemed to support him, but I knew that Charlie and Jefferson had been friends throughout school.
We finished dinner and took the dishes to the sink. I told her to leave them as we put the leftovers in the fridge and ate dessert on the couch with a movie.
I settled in on the couch closest to the fire and Avery snuggled in beside me before leaning forward to place her cider on a coaster on the long table.
“It feels so good to relax here with you,” she told me as she smiled at me. “I’ve been looking forward to this all day.”
“So have I,” I assured Avery as I smiled down at her. We found a holiday classic on TV, and I bit into a beignet, delightfully surprised at how good they were. “This is great. It is just like a little donut.”
“That’s why I love them so much,” Avery told me, licking the sugar from her top lip as she giggled.
“How would you feel about making these for the event? Do you think it would be easy to make them at the mobile bar we’re setting up?” I asked as her eyes lit up. “It’s an easy dough that could be made and ready to go, right?”
“That would be easy to do. I’d have to prep the dough and just have toppings ready, but I think the crowd would love it.” Avery agreed, taking another bite of hers.
“I’ll help you out however you need me to.” I smiled and bit into mine again, savoring the sweetness of the topping. If she made these for the event and people liked them as much as I thought they would, she could reconsider her plan to move.
“We’ll discuss that later. I’m just happy to be here with you right now.” Avery told me as we finished eating and I set the container on the table. She rested her head on my shoulder and I stroked her shoulder as I watched the movie, enjoying everything about this moment.
It didn’t take long for us to finish our cider and for me to lose interest in the movie playing on the TV. Avery’s fruity perfume filled the room, and I got lost in it, turning towards her to slide my hand up her covered thigh. I wanted her out of these clothes so I could see and taste her.
I’d been waiting some time for that and couldn’t wait for the full night with Avery.
Her hazel eyes darkened with need as I leaned in to kiss her. I never thought I’d end up with my college buddy’s sister, but something about this just felt right. This kiss was heated, and I cupped her face as our tongues danced together, moaning against Avery’s mouth. I eased her over my lap and wrapped my arms around her as I kissed her again, pulling her body tight against mine.
I was hard and ready for her, but had a lot to do before that time came. I told her I wanted to take her to my bed and carried her down the long hallway to the master bedroom in the back of the house. It was spacious, with a big bed and a separate fireplace that I’d lit earlier in case we ended up back here.
I set her down on the bed, reaching down to peel her sweater off and over her head. Underneath, Avery wore a plum lace bra, and I saw her nipples poking through the material as I inched my hand down to cup one. She was full, and I squeezed as she moaned, eager to get them into my mouth.
As we lost ourselves, I pushed her against the pillows to kiss her again. I knew a woman didn’t want a man to rush this and planned to spend a lot of time on her beautiful body.
As she leaned back, I moved my mouth to her jaw and kept the kisses slow and teasing. Avery moaned as I kissed her, nipping gently at her skin as I moved down her neck. I could taste the cinnamon and sugar on my lips from her mouth as I drew her earlobe into my mouth, kissing the spot just below that as she let out a soft whimper.
I unhooked the front of her bra when I’d thoroughly tasted her skin, releasing her gorgeous breasts as I let my eyes drag over her body. “You’re so sexy, Avery.” I cupped her left breast and stroked her nipple as she arched her back, offering me more. She whispered my name as I felt her harden further against me, knowing I needed to taste her soon.
I leaned over her body after taking my shirt off and tossing it to the floor, feeling her eyes all over my muscular chest. As a bigger guy most of my life, I learned to keep myself healthy through exercise and I felt proud of my thick muscles.
When I moved my mouth above her nipple, Avery slid her hand into my hair as I sucked her into my mouth. I started out gentle, but at the sound of her moans, drew her slowly between my teeth. She cried out, arching further towards me as I covered her with my mouth. I played with her other nipple, teasing it with my thumb as she writhed underneath me.
She panted as I pulled away to take a breath, needing more of her. I moved to unzip her pants, sliding them down her body as she wiggled her hips to help me also get her panties. I wondered for a moment if they matched her bra, but didn’t care as I stripped her naked. I stood when I finished and took everything from my body, dropping all the clothes into a pile.
As she lay naked on my bed, I stared at her, almost in disbelief. I’d wanted her since I saw her at the lodge and I crawled over her body to kiss her again, feeling her chest against mine. I loved the feel and taste of her lips against my mouth and took my time to savor the moment.
As she kissed me, she traced the skin of my arms and back. She found my cock with her hand as it pressed against her stomach, and I moaned at her touch.
