Family Ties

So I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I could fetch towels and show you something at the same time. Besides,” I added with a grin, “I wanted to get you alone for a few minutes. You’re incredibly sexy in that apron.”

She rolled her eyes, but my grin was infectious.

I leaned forward and kissed her. Then I grew serious. “Are you doing okay?”

“Mmm hmm. A little nervous at first, but…” She shrugged. “It isn’t a big deal. Erin was right, no one stares or anything.”

“I do. At you, especially.”

“Anything you want me to do besides stare?”

“Like what?” she asked coyly.

“Like this.” I moved the bib of her apron and planted a kiss on her exposed nipple.

She gasped when I nibbled gently. The little bud stiffened, so I circled her areola with my tongue and then sucked the whole thing into my mouth. She whimpered when my teeth closed around it.

“Bite it,” she whispered urgently.

I bit it. Then I switched to the other and did the same. She held my head and moaned softly as I spent a few minutes licking, sucking, and gently biting.

“We should probably get back,” I said.

“In a minute.” She leaned forward for a kiss. Our lips met, and I could almost feel her pent-up desire. She wrapped her arms around my neck, so I lifted her off the counter. Her legs automatically wrapped around me, and she moaned softly when I supported her with my hands on her bare ass.

“Oh look,” I said, “another kitchen table.”

“When you’re ready,” I told her softly. I kissed her again, but without the heat from before.

She let out her breath with a soft groan.

“Two can play the teasing game,” I said with a grin.

My grin widened, and she returned it before she kissed me again.

“We have to stop,” she said at last, breathless.

“Yeah. Are you ready to head back?”

but she knew it was there.

“Yeah. He’ll go soft on the drive back. Just… don’t look at him. He might think you’re interested.”

She uncrossed her ankles, and I set her on the floor.

For a moment I thought she might drop to her knees and blow me then and there, but she controlled herself and looked away. I didn’t say anything and neither did she, but we both knew. I silently cursed my rule and conjured a smile to hide my disappointment. Christy took a deep, steadying breath.

“We’d better go,” I said at last.
