Page 16 of Griffen the Mountain Man
A part of me has been sad as I've helped Gramps pack his clothes and mementos.
But another part has been exceedingly happy as Heidi and I continue to meet at the senior center. Going on dates around town to explore the charm of Suitor’s Crossing. Making out and teasing each other with suggestive touches and continual grinding.
Our clothes never come completely off, but it's still been satisfying as hell.
“How are you doing, Griff?” Gramps pats my shoulder as the last of his boxes are dumped into my truck by Wyatt and Beckett.
“I'm good. How are you feeling? It's the end of an era.”
“And the beginning of a new one full of love.” A far-off look enters his eyes. “That's what I wanted to talk to you about.”
“Okay...” My brow furrows. He's aware of me and Heidi; we haven't exactly been discreet. Plus, he and Greta can’t resist teasing us over their trick at the picnic basket auction.
“I know what you and Miss Heidi have been up to at the center.”
A blush rises to my cheeks.
“I’ve noticed a change in you; your siblings have, too. It's been great seeing you open up to somebody, and Heidi is a good girl. But I also know you’ve got some flawed thoughts about yourself in that hard head. Which is the only explanation I can think of for why Heidi isn’t here today with the rest of your family.”
I'm not sure how to respond.
Because he’s right.
Heidi should be here, and I should stop holding back my feelings out of fear. Especially when she’s already done a lot to convince me that those old concerns are baseless.
“Give her a chance. Your brothers and sister took risks, and you see how happy they are. That could be you and Heidi.”
“Thanks, Gramps.”
He's got me considering my brothers.
Theyarebig. Soren is the closest in size to me, and I've never heard of problems with women. With any of my brothers.
Hell, Beckett fucked around all the time before falling for Beth.
Maybe I owe it to myself and Heidi to let go of the past.
I mean she’s my fuckingheart spark.
So, why the hell isn’t she here?
After getting Gramps settled at Golden Living but promising to be back for a Sunday dinner of pizza and beer, I make a stop at an adult store on the outskirts of town before driving to Heidi's place.
If we’re really about to take the next step in our relationship, then I'm going to do everything I can to ensure Heidi is ready to takeme, including providing proper lubrication and something to stretch her before my cock gets anywhere near her pussy.
Her mouth sucks you just fine. Why would her pussy be any different?
I ignore the snip of logic as my fist knocks on her door, wondering what she'll think of my hastily made plan.
A minute later, the dark oak swings open to reveal a surprised Heidi in comfy leggings, tank top, and a long cardigan.
“Griffen, I wasn't expecting you today. How did moving go?”
“Fine. Can I come in?”
She jolts at my abruptness but waves me forward. “Sure.”
Nerves clamber beneath my skin as I drag a steadying breath into my lungs and step into a cozy living room.
