Page 93 of Years in the Making

The kiss goes from primal to sensual quickly, and I feel Teddy’s grip loosen and my body begin to lower. When my feet hit the ground, he spins me around and places my hands back on the wall in front of me while his feet spread mine farther apart. His lips connect with my shoulder while his hands press down on my back, encouraging me to arch. Not like I need any encouragement though.

“Fuck, LG, remember when I said I’d dreamed of all the things I could do to you?”

I look over my shoulder and watch him scan my body. “I believe you told me you’d let me know one day.”

“This is one of those things.” He smirks before sliding back into me without warning, causing a long slow moan to escape me. “And that’s the sound I heard every.” He snaps his hips. “Single.” Snap. “Time.” Snap.

I hope to god Florence is long gone. The bunkie isn’t right next to the house, but I’m pretty sure every syllable out of my mouth is carrying through the trees. Usually, I’d be concerned, but present Nellie doesn’t care who or what hears her. That’s future Nellie’s problem.

Future Nellie, now present Nellie, is pissed. As I open the door to the crisp morning air, I am greeted by a suggestive whistleoriginating from one of the two people sitting in the Muskoka chairs. I practically skulk behind the bunkie towards the bathroom and take my time with my morning routine. Teddy had already headed inside to get coffee for us, and I can’t help but wonder what kind of greeting he received. Knowing how men can be, I imagine he’d strutted over like a fucking peacock.

My reflection gives little away. It doesn’t show the slight soreness in my back or the rawness of my skin from his beard. I also half expected to look like a sex bomb, but I just look like me after very little sleep. No overnight, sex-induced transformation has occurred. I’m still just Nellie.

I pull out my phone to shoot a text to the girls.

It finally happened!

Izzy

You DNF’d a book?

Marley

You slept with Teddy!

Izzy

Oh, I like that better. Did you?

I peek back up at my reflection and smile at the fact I get to say yes to that.

Let’s just say very little sleep was slept!

Marley

FUCK YES!

Izzy

Well, that sounds very promising.

Marley

Bennett just high-fived me!

MARLEY!

Marley

He doesn’t know why… yet…

I raised my hand and he automatically did it. He spends a lot of time around dogs.

Importrant question
