Her eyes sparkled. “This is my favorite fireplace ever.” It was in the middle of the room, encircled by glass, so no matter where you sat, you had a view of the fire. “It looks completely unused.”

“I only light a fire if Bella comes here because she enjoys it so much. Or if I’m having family over.”

I’d already put the wood and the lighter by the fireplace.

“You thought you had it all in the bag already, huh?” she asked as I lowered myself in front of it and opened the door.

“What do you mean?” I asked when she motioned to the stuff I’d set out.

“You were so sure I was coming home with you tonight.”

“I knew the fireplace would be a big draw.” I wiggled my eyebrows and got her to laugh.

“Do you want me to help?”

“No, I’ll only need a few minutes. Then we can watch it burn from the couch.”

“Right, then, I’ll await you there.”

I held the door open for a bit until the fire was drawing properly. Before closing it, it dimmed a little, but not too much, and I knew it was good.

“This looks really lovely,” Bailey said. “I love it.”

She was curled up on the couch with her feet up next to her. I sat down on her other side and took her hand in mine.

“I’m glad you like it. So... was it worth the trip here?”

“Definitely. You looked so manly starting the fire.” She brought her mouth to my ear. “It sort of fired me up too.”

Oh, I definitely didn’t need to hear that. I was already fighting all my urges. I’d wanted to take that dress off her eversince I first saw her tonight, and even more so once we stepped in here and there was no one else to bother us. But I wanted her to enjoy the fire first before I devoured her.

“You’re awfully silent. I’m starting to get suspicious,” she teased.

“Good, you should.”

“I see. You’re having sexy thoughts, huh?”

“Woman, can you read my mind?”

She leaned in even closer to me. I felt the shape of her full breasts against my arm. I was sporting a hard-on already.

“No, but coincidentally, that’s where my mind went too. I swear this fire is giving me strange ideas. It’s like an aphrodisiac or something. Or maybe it’s all these muscles.”

She grazed her fingertips over my chest and then lowered her hand down my abs. But I had another idea. She could enjoy the fire while I was buried deep inside her. One thing didn’t exclude the other.

I moved slightly so I could use both hands and then grabbed her ass, pulling her into my lap. She yelped before starting to laugh.

“Easy there. What are you trying to...? Oh, this is what you’re doing.”

I settled her right over my cock.

“I’msoon board with this.”

I lifted her ass a bit so I could drag her dress past it, then cinched it up her waist. For a split second, I thought she wasn’t wearing lingerie at all, and I nearly came just at the thought. Then I realized she was wearing panties that were skin-colored.

I groaned at the sight.

“I bet you thought I was naked, huh? That’s the point.” She got down from my lap and immediately pushed them to her feet. “It’s better to get them out of the way,” she whispered, then climbed back on my lap.
