Page 7 of His Curvy Candy Cane

“I’ve dated quite a few who’ll list every detail of why they couldn’t stand living here.”

“Have you now?”

“Yep. They’ll say things like it’s suffocating, there’s no privacy, no room for growth. Trust me, I’ve heard it all. Most of the time, it seemed like they only wanted me for my money or sex. But that wasn’t happening, no way. I’ve worked way too damn hard to get where I am today. The last one said to me, so this is it? You’re just going to stay in this little ant town and be a mechanic forever? I looked at her like she grew three heads and said, yeah, it’s my home, and I make a damn good living.”

“Good for you, Ethan! Tell those bitches!” Elise pumped a fist in the air, and we both laughed. “I think this little ant town is amazing.”

“I think you’re pretty amazing,” I said as we reached the hot cocoa stand. Elise blushed and kept smiling. Fuck, she was gorgeous. Every incredibly sexy curve made my mouth water and my dick hard.

I’d made up my mind.

I was taking her to bed tonight.

I calledus a cab because neither of us was in any shape to drive, and we sort of lost the friends we came with. But seeing as we’re neighbors, it worked out.

The cab ride home felt like a lifetime. All I could think about was getting her naked. I prayed the huge swell in my pants had gone unnoticed, but with the looks Elise kept giving me, I highly doubted it. The poor cab driver must sense the sexual tension growing in spades by the second.

When we finally arrived, it had started to snow.

I offered her a hand and guided her out of the car, and she giggled as she stumbled out.

“Ah! It’s snowing!” Elise said as she twirled around while still holding my hand. “Is the place always so damn perfect?”

“Pretty much, yeah. But you know what would make it even more perfect?”

“Umm, a horse-drawn sleigh ride?” Elise’s eyes lit up, and the tip of her nose turned pink. Snowflakes fell all around us, and a few landed on her eyelashes.

“That would be nice, but I’ve never seen one around here.”

“Oh! I know! If we slow danced under the falling snow and moonlight?”

I gently placed my hands on her hips and watched her reaction. Her ample curves were more than enough for my largehands. She smiled lazily and stepped closer. Apparently, she didn’t mind.

I chuckled. “Another good idea, but not quite what I had in mind. I was thinking more along the lines of you joining me in my bed tonight.”

Elise gasped. Her eyes dropped down to my mouth and back up again. “Umm…”

Seconds ticked by, and each one felt like an eternity.

When I couldn’t stand it anymore, I dipped my head down. I was so close, our breaths mixed and our chests rose and fell in succession.

Without another thought, I leaned in and kissed her.

CHAPTER FIVE

Elise

He kissed me.Ethan kissed me.

Once the fire ignited, there was no stopping it. I didn’t think; I just acted. I returned the kiss with as much passion as I felt, and when Ethan growled deep in his throat and nipped at my bottom lip, desire and lust coiled together between my legs, drenching my panties.

When Ethan broke the kiss, we were both breathless and panting. “Is that a yes?” he whispered.

I nodded, and Ethan wasted no time. He threw me over his shoulder, slapped my ass, and carried me inside. I squealed and giggled like a schoolgirl.

My sexual encounters in the past had seemed pretty tame when compared to some of my friends’ stories from school, but nothing about Ethan was boyish. He was all man, a sexy, gruff mechanic with calloused hands I couldn’t wait to have on me.

“I’ve wanted to fuck you since the first time I saw your gorgeous ass bent over your car.” Ethan grunted as he slammed the door behind him and carried me upstairs, flicking on lightsas he went. His place had a similar setup to mine, except he had a hell of a lot more Christmas decorations.
