Page 19 of Coming for His Second Chance
I shoot off a quick text that I'm going to take the rest of the afternoon off, and then help her around to the front passenger seat.
Then, I have a fun idea in mind, and shoot off another text, before I get in and start driving. She begins talking, before we’re even out of the parking lot.
"Before all this, I had already agreed to Christmas breakfast with them the day after the wedding. I wish I could just cancel it, as I really don't want to go, especially if I’m alone. Hell, I don't want to go at all after today."
"I’ll go with you, Starshine. Take all the attention off you and be your excuse to get out of there as fast as we can."
"I can't let you do that. It's like leading a man to the firing squad. They’ll eat you alive."
I know she's right, and I'd rather do a seventy-two mile hike with a rucksack and use my survival skills, than be in the same room as Linda and her mom, but this is for Kaitlyn. For her, I'd happily walk in front of a firing squad to save her.
"I can take it, Starshine. I'm going, so end of discussion."
"Thank you." She takes my hand, as we pull into my driveway.
She chuckles, "Lunch at home?"
"Kind of. I have an idea for a little fun, if you’ll trust me."
She just nods but says nothing.
Inside are two plates with some sandwiches my housekeepers set out for us.
"Eat up. Then, we are going to go outside for some fun." I sit her down at the counter.
She digs right in and doesn't notice right away the key next to her plate.
"What's this?" She finally asks.
"That's your own key to my house. Move your stuff in after we’re done, so I can have you here with me."
She gives me a half smile, which I’ll take as a win. Then, she adds the key to her key ring, and we finish eating.
"Okay, now, what's your big plan?"
Taking her hand, I lead her outside and down a path to the side of my property that comes out at the top of a hill. We’ve had a few light dustings of snow, but having a snow machine, made things easier.
"What did you do?" She asks, taking in the snow-covered hill.
"We’re going to go sledding." I motion towards the sleds, and a huge smile overtakes her face.
"Then, we’re going to go inside and have some hot chocolate, and I'm going to spend the night making you forget everything that happened today," I whisper in her ear.
"Can we skip to that part?" She asks.
"I want to show you I’m with you for more than just sex, because the sex is great, but I wantyou, all of you. So, we’re going to have some fun and release some stress."
That earns me a smile that lights up her face, as she turns and heads towards the sleds.
"Fine, but you’re pulling my sled back up the hill for me," she says.
I laugh, "Our sled, because we’re going down together."
Taking the sled, I sit down, leaving space in front for her. When she’s finally settled, having her wedged between my legs is both heaven and hell. I love her there, but it makes me so hard, that I know she can feel it.
We sled for a good hour, and by the time we go inside, she’s lagging, but smiling again, just like yesterday.
Hot chocolate is waiting for us, along with freshly baked cookies, as we make ourselves comfortable on the couch in front of the fireplace.
