Games of the Heart

I went faster.
Somehow, Mike shoved his body up the seat taking me with him so his long legs could clear the steering wheel. With knees cocked, his heels dug into the seat, his h*ps thrust up to meet my glides, his hand at my head became an arm wrapped around my waist and he drove me down as he powered up.
God, that was beyond the best.
“Baby,” I whimpered.
“Faster, Dusty,” he growled, his thumb pressing deeper and I gasped.
“Mike,” I breathed.
“I need you to ride me hard, honey.”
I did what he told me to do, it was beyond the beyond of the best and in no time it built until it exploded and scored straight through me. My head shot back, the moan slid up my throat and I came. Hard.
Mike was still powering up and driving me down but he’d switched arms, the thumb at my cl*t was now an arm around my waist and his other hand was back in my hair, shoving my face in his neck.
“Fuck, I wanna flip you,” he groaned.
I kept moving, hard, fast, meeting his drives, working to take him there. I’d learned in our earlier encounters Mike liked letting me take him in my mouth, climbing on top but he always ended things in complete control.
I moved my lips on his neck as I drove my h*ps into his.
His head came partially up and twisted, his fingers fisting in my hair, his lips at my ear. “Missed you, honey,” he growled.
Oh God, I liked that.
“Missed you too, Mike,” I whispered against his skin, riding him and licking his neck from his ear to his throat.
He shoved his face in my neck, ground me down on his c**k and groaned.
I let him have it, my lips moving on his neck then his hold relaxed and I started gliding.
His hand slid up my back to join his other one in my hair and he gathered it away. I slid down on him and did what he wanted but didn’t ask for verbally. I lifted my head and gave him my mouth.
He held my hair in his hands and he kissed me the way I really liked it. Even though we were done, even though we gave each other the burn, he started the kiss slow like he had all the time in the world to explore then he built it and built it until I felt I’d be consumed by the heat.
Then he unfortunately ended it and moved my head so my face was again in his neck. His hand slid through my hair, pulling it to the side as his other arm wrapped around me.
“You warm enough?” he muttered.
“Mm-hmm…” I mumbled into his skin, pressing deep. His truck was on as was the heat. Environmentally unfriendly. Sexually necessary.
Suddenly, his arm around me tensed and he grumbled, “Fuck, I can’t believe I f**ked my woman in my car by the side of a creek.”
I lifted my head and smiled down at him. “I know. Wasn’t it awesome?”
I saw the white flash of his teeth before he agreed, “It was but what it wasn’t, was what I wanted to give you after I dicked around with you.”
“Am I complaining?” I asked.
He was silent a second and the word was loaded with goodness when he whispered, “No.”
I dipped my head, aimed for his mouth in the dark and my aim proved true so I kissed him softly and whispered back, “Then don’t worry about it.”
He kissed me softly back, tugged my hair gently, I took the cue, lifted my head away an inch and he said, “You don’t have a used condom to find some way to dispose of without Finley riding the land on his tractor, finding it and getting ideas about this spot.”
I burst out laughing.
Mike repeated his words from earlier that night, “I wasn’t being funny.”
“I have a baggie in my purse,” I offered.
“You have a baggie in your purse?”
“Honey, I’ve been through airport security four times the past month. And I don’t clean out my purses when I change them. I just dump everything from one into the other. I’m collecting baggies. I probably have three.”
“Excellent news, sweetheart,” he muttered and I chuckled again. Then he asked, “How often do you change your purses?”
I blinked, suddenly feeling we were in dangerous territory because I had a lot of purses. I changed them to go with my outfits and shoes so I did this often. And I figured I was in Indiana for the long haul so I’d not packed light, ergo, I brought my horses and kilns and about six suitcases of clothes.
I was worried we’d hit a Mike Flashback considering he told me his ex had over two hundred pairs of shoes and that didn’t scratch the surface of what she bought so I shuddered to think what her handbag collection was like.
Hesitantly, I shared, “Uh…a little more than not enough, a little less than too many.”
Mike was silent a second then his arm gave me a squeeze and he said softly, “Angel, you work and you earn your purses. I was just asking.”
“Okay,” I said softly back.
“Now kiss me, climb off and find me a baggie,” he ordered.
“For a good guy you’re pretty bossy,” I informed him and got another arm squeeze.
“Dusty, kiss me, climb off and find me a baggie.”
“Whatever,” I muttered then did what I was told.
I’d donned and readjusted my clothing and was yanking on my boots when I heard the whir of Mike’s seat readjusting so I twisted my neck to look up at him.
“I think we missed Kirby’s curfew.”
“I hope Darrin didn’t teach his boys how to use his shotguns,” Mike muttered.
I grinned and went back to my boots. “That would be a hope hoped in vain.”
“Lucky I keep a gun in my car. Though, not sure I want my first date with you to end in a shootout with a fifteen year old.”
“This would be bad,” I said through a chuckle as I straightened. Then I found my coat, shrugged it on and turned to him. “Dinner went okay, don’t you think?”
I thought it did.
No was funny, engaging and interesting.
Finley was quiet and watchful, taking things in. I thought this was partly because he was trying to be cool around Clarisse (or maybe he just was cool) and partly because his Dad just died, he had a lot on his mind so he wasn’t at that place where he could be his normal self. His normal self being a lot like No, funny, engaging and interesting but in a more laidback, confident way. No still had more boy in him than man. Even before his Dad died, Fin had more man than boy.
On the other hand, it took a while for Clarisse to warm up. She was a little standoffish and I didn’t know if she was being aloof for Finley’s benefit or because she wasn’t certain what to think of me. This took some time to melt away and eventually she became warmer, more animated. She was still wary but I began to get the impression that it was less that she wasn’t certain what to think of me and more worried about what I was going to think of her.
