“Baby you in that sundress, I won’t be able to concentrate on anything else today,” Kyle said. He reached inside of her bodice to fondle her breast. He kissed her, thrusting his tongue deep inside. Talking against her lips he said, “It’s been too damn long.”

She reached between his legs and rubbed his hardness through the fabric of his jeans. “I know. I need to feel you inside of me, sooner rather than later.”

Her short flirty dress was perfect for sneaking his hand up her inner thigh, which he did now, his finger finding her juicy center and plunging in and out. Her legs threatened to buckle so she held on tightly to his shoulders for support. His other hand was lifting her skirt from behind to grope her sweet ass.

“I love when you wear thong underwear.”

“Just for you, totally unselfish of me,” she said grinning.

“Florence Nightingale, all the way.”

They heard Finn coming so she quickly straightened her dress and pulled out her gloss to reapply.

“Hi Ella, where’s Lucy?”

“Mr. Drake took her. He’s going to watch the pups while we’re gone.”

“Can I go see her before we leave?”

“Sure, go ahead. Meet us in the music room,” Kyle said.

“Okay.”

Kyle took her hand and led her to the piano. Sitting on the bench at the keyboard he patted the seat and gestured for her to sit. She scooched in next to him. He leaned over and kissed her. His strong tanned fingers hovered over the keys; he began to play. The opening chords from Carol King’s classicWill You Still Love Me Tomorrowfloated in the air like a kiss.

Then he began to sing. His voice had a smoky quality to it and was sexy as hell. Low and mesmerizing. He sang a love song for her andElla wondered for a moment if she was dreaming.

Holding her breath, her body tense and trembling with emotion, she feared she would break down sobbing. It touched her so deeply, it was without a doubt…nothing even came close…the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for her. A tear slipped out and ran down her cheek.

He finished the song and turned toward her, “What do you think? It’s a new song for me, I’ve been practicing all week.”

Her eyes were glassy and as big as saucers as she nodded her head.

“Hey, are you crying?”

She nodded again and embarrassed, buried her face against his shoulder.

“Baby, I didn’t want to make you cry. I wanted to seduce you,” Kyle said.

“Mission accomplished," she mumbled into his shirt.

“Well that’s good then. Kiss me.”

She lifted her head and he kissed the salty tears from her cheeks before tenderly pressing his lips to hers.

“Hey, Dad, Ella, you should have seen Charlie and Lucy just now.”

Ella gave Kyle a watery smile then turned toward Finn.

Finn blinked and his brow furrowed. He ran over to hug Ella around the waist, “Why are you crying?”

“I’m okay Finn. Your dad just played a song that was so beautiful it made me cry.”

“Is it that one he keeps playing over and over? All that love stuff?” He grinned up at her.

“That would be the one,” she said.
