“Good to see you, too.” She walked over and wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly as she whispered, “I like her. She’s pretty and totally into you. Don’t screw it up.”
I wasn’t in a position to argue with her, so I gave her a quick pat on the back and said, “Have a great trip.”
“I’m planning on it.” She turned and headed out the front door as she teased, “Don’t get into any trouble while I’m gone.”
“I’ll do my best!”
An awkward silence fell over the house the second the front door closed. Neither of us seemed to know what to do or say, so we just stood there staring at one another. After several moments, Everleigh finally said, “Kiersten’s great. I can see why you love her like you do.”
“Yeah, she takes after her mother.”
“She takes after you, too.” She gave me a warm smile, then pulled the towel around her as she said, “I’m freezing! I’m going to go get out of these wet clothes and take a hot shower.”
“I’m gonna do the same, but I’m going to put on some tea first.”
“Tea sounds great.”
Once she’d disappeared into her room, I went over and grabbed the tea kettle from the cabinet. I filled it with water and placed it on the stove. While it was warming, I gathered some tea and the sugar, then placed them on the counter.
I waited for a moment, and when the water started to boil, I removed the kettle from the stove. I’d just added the tea bag to the water when I noticed Everleigh standing in the doorway. She had a towel wrapped around her and nothing else. Fuck. I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She looked absolutely stunning standing there with hunger in her eyes—a hunger that was directed solely at me. It took me a second to collect myself, but once I did, I cleared my throat and asked, “What are you doing?”
“We were in such a rush to get out of the rain that we forgot to grab the stuff we bought.”
“Oh, yeah.” As I started for the door, I told her, “I’ll go grab them.”
I rushed out to the garage and grabbed our things, then carried them back inside. I placed mine on the counter, then took the rest over to Everleigh. Her eyes skirted over me, and she took them from my hand. “Thanks.”
I expected her to return to her room, but she didn’t move. Instead, she stood there staring at me with a wanton look in her eyes—a wanton look directed right at me. The sight of her had all the blood rushing to my cock, and it took all the strength I could muster to resist the urge to take her in my arms and show her exactly what she was doing to me.
It was fucking killing me.
When I couldn’t take it a second longer, I finally demanded, “You have to stop, Everleigh.”
“Stop what?” she asked innocently.
“Looking at me like that.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Bullshit... You know exactly what I’m talking about.” My throat tightened as I growled, “And I’m telling you now,it’s not going to happen.”
Guilt washed over me as I watched her eyes drift to the ground. With a wounded expression, she muttered, “Okay, message received.”
Without another word, she turned and went into her room, closing the door behind her. Seconds later, I heard her open the shower door and get inside, and it wasn’t long before I started imagining the water cascading down her perfect, round breasts. It was evident that I was still struggling with my restraint, so I decided to forget the tea and headed to my room for a shower of my own.
After I turned on the shower, I peeled off my wet clothes, then stepped under the hot stream of water. In a matter of seconds, I could feel the tension in my body start to dissipate, but sadly, it did little to help my throbbing erection. Every time I closed my eyes, I pictured Everleigh with that heated look in her eyes, and it only made me grow harder.
When I couldn’t take it any longer, I reached down and wrapped my fingers around my cock, then slowly started moving my hand up and down my thick shaft. My breath quickened as I imagined Everleigh in my bed, writhing against the soft cotton sheets with her little whimpers and moans echoing through the room as I fucked her long and hard.
Everything about her had me spiraling more and more out of control. The erotic blush of skin. Her thighs clenched. Her toes curled. Fuck. That’s all it took. My breath caught, and I came long and hard. I’d hoped that a release would help ease the longing I felt for Everleigh, but as I stepped out of the shower and started to dry off, my cock was still rock-hard.
I knew then that my sexual frustration had only just begun.
After I threw on my boxers and sleep pants, I brushed my teeth and went to bed. I was spent, so it didn’t take long for me to fall fast asleep. I have no idea how long I’d been out when I sprang up in the bed with a fright.
I had no idea what had my heart racing so erratically, and then I noticed the power was out and the light on my phone was flashing, signaling that someone had tripped my security system. Without a second’s hesitation, I jumped out of bed and rushed to Everleigh’s room.
I opened her door and rushed over to her bed, then gave her a firm shake as I whispered, “Everleigh! Wake up!”
