With a shake of her head, she placed her hand on the side of my face. “That’s all in the past, Emmit. The only thing we have is now.”
My eyes closed as I pressed my lips together and fought to say the words. “Those women meant nothing to me, Addie and if I could go back I swear—”
Adaline placed her finger over my mouth to stop me from talking. “Emmit, all I need is to be in your arms. You’re the only place I want to be, Emmit.”
I searched Adaline’s face before my breath hitched by her beautiful baby blues. My stomach felt like I was on one hell of a roller coaster.
With a raised eyebrow, I said, “There’s a Courtyard not far from here.”
Adaline’s face lit up. Reaching for her bags, I walked over to Jack’s limo driver and handed it to him. “Can you drop this off back at the track? Ask for Waldo Morgan; he’ll know what to do with it.”
The driver took the bags as I took Adaline’s hand and led her over to my bike. Pulling on my hand to stop me, I looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
Adaline was looking at my bike. “Is that your motorcycle?”
I looked between the bike and Adaline. “Um . . . yeah but if you’re not comfortable riding on it, you can ride in the limo and I’ll meet you over there.”
Adaline’s mouth dropped open. “Are you insane? There is no way I’m turning down wrapping my arms around you and the chance to go fast.”
A wave of heat moved across my body as my knees got weak. Pulling Adaline into my arms, I kissed the tip of her nose. “God, I’ve missed you.”
With a soft hit on my stomach, Adaline said, “Let’s go for our first ride.”
A low growl formed at the back of my throat as we made our way to the bike.
I took Adaline down a country road as we drove for a bit on the bike. Turning down a side road, I pulled over and got off the bike as I held my hand out for hers. With an adorable smile, she put her hand in mine.
“What are we doing?”
“Walking.”
Adaline giggled. “I see that, but why?”
With a smile, I looked at her and winked. “I just want to be with you, like we used to. Remember when we used to walk in the fields and watch the stars?”
My breath caught as I watched Adaline’s eyes as they lit up. “I do remember that. I also remember the night you put the blanket in the back of your truck thinking you were going to get lucky. That garden snake crawled over your chest and you screamed like a little girl and took off running.”
My head fell back as I laughed. “I can’t argue with you on that one. I did take off running.”
“Screaming. Like a girl.”
My eyebrows pinched together as I chuckled. “I must have blocked that part out.”
Adaline walked up to me as she placed her hands on my chest. “I’ve missed us so much.”
My lips kissed her forehead as I held her close to me while we stood in the middle of a field. Just the two of us, with no one else wanting anything from us.
When I couldn’t take the heat from her body anymore, I led her back to my bike.
“Let’s head to the hotel.” Adaline giggled as she climbed on the bike and wrapped her arms around me.
Making our way back to the hotel, we checked in and rode up in the elevator in silence. You could practically feel the heat moving off our bodies as we stole glances at each other. Stopping at the door, I slipped the key in and pushed the door open. Taking Adaline’s hand in mine, I slowly walked backward as I led her into the room. The door shut and we stood frozen as we stared into each other’s eyes.
Adaline blushed and said, “Um, I’m just going to run to the bathroom really quick.”
I swallowed hard while I nodded and made my way into the room. Looking around, I took in the large king bed, oversized chair and the desk.
Wiping my hands on my jeans, I rolled my eyes and counted to ten. Shit. It feels like this is my first time all over again. And Adaline was my first! This should be easy, Emmit. Calm the hell down.
I made my way over to the window and looked out. I wouldn’t be able to stay here all night, but we still had plenty of time since it was just mid afternoon. Time I planned on using to get familiar with Adaline’s body again.
Adaline cleared her throat and I turned around, expecting to see her still dressed and just as nervous as I was.
Taking a stumbling step backward, I hit the window and stood there with my mouth on the ground.
“Holy living shit. You’re so beautiful. You’re more beautiful than a sunrise,” I whispered, as Adaline stood before me in blue and white polka dot panties and a matching bra. Her hair hung in pieces as it framed her face. She had thrown it up when we went for a ride and it looked sexy as fuck.
Adaline gave a shy smile as she looked down and stared at the floor. “Thank you.”
I forced my feet to move as I made my way over to Adaline. Stopping in front of her, I placed my hand on the side of her face as she leaned into it. “Adaline, you and I will never be apart again. I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy.”
Adaline’s eyes said it all as they met mine. In that moment nothing else mattered but the two of us. When her hand came over mine, it felt as if all the air was stolen from my lungs. Her touch sent a bolt of lightning racing through my entire body. It was as if we’d never been apart.
“You make me happy, Emmit. It’s always been you.”
Cupping her face with both hands, I pulled her lips closer to mine as we kissed softly. I picked Adaline up and carried her over to the bed where I gently placed her down.
I slowly pulled my T-shirt over my head and tossed it on the floor. Adaline’s lips parted open slightly as her eyes roamed my body.
With a quick tug of my belt to take it off, I unbuttoned my pants and pushed them down. Licking her lips, Adaline moaned softly as she rubbed her legs together.
“Emmit,” she whispered as her eyes widened with anticipation as they fell to my hard dick.
Moving onto the bed, I ran my hand over Adaline’s soft skin. Goose bumps covered her body as my hand moved down her leg to her foot. Lifting her foot, I rubbed it as Adaline lifted her back off the bed and hissed my name through her teeth.
I ran my tongue along the inside of her foot as she grabbed at the sheets. I loved how I was making her feel. Smiling, I decided I was going to take my time getting to know her body again. She wasn’t the same nineteen-year-old girl anymore. She was an amazing woman who had my body so turned on I was praying I would last at least a few minutes inside of her.
Adaline’s body squirmed on the bed as I moved my hands over her and kept kissing her foot. “What are you doing to me, Emmit?”
I couldn’t believe how responsive Adaline was to my touch. “Time was like a thief with us, Addie, we have a lot to make up for.”
Lifting her head up, Adaline grinned as my heart fell even more in love with her. Those blue eyes of hers lit up the room as I smiled back.
“Don’t tease, Emmit. It’s been too long.”
My lips began their slow move up Adaline’s body. Spreading her legs apart, I crawled between them and kissed along her hips as she lifted off the bed and let a low moan slip from her lips.
“I’m going to make love to you all night, Addie. Kiss your body from the top of your head to your toes.”
Adaline’s hands moved to my hair as she pulled and tugged. “Emmit, I’ve missed you so much.”
My lips moved up her stomach, I wanted more than anything to suck on her nipples, but wanted my lips on hers first. Gently laying my body over her, I placed my hands on the sides of her face and looked into her eyes.
“Do you have any idea how you make me feel, Addie?”
The look of innocence that moved across Adaline’s face had my heart pounding in my chest. Taking her lip between her teeth, she slowly nodded her head as she gave me the cutest fucking smile I’d ever seen.
Kissing her softly on the tip of her nose, I smiled as I pulled her lip out from her grasp. Kissing along her jaw, I spoke softly as I told her exactly how she made me feel. “You make me weak in the knees, Addie. You have the power to drop me to the ground with a single smile.”
