Nash: I’ll try to make it

Linc: Anyone heard from Kipp, or are we betting he’s in bed?

Ryder: Bed

Nash: Bed’s my bet too

Griff: Bed, he’s too much of a gentleman to do anything nasty

Me: Nora and I will be there and for your information, it was the meadow

Griff: Well, color me impressed

Nash: You fools owe me a hundred bucks each

Me: You fuckers bet on my sex life?

Linc: Sure did

Ryder: Yeah, thanks for taking things slow. You cost me a shit ton of money.

Me: Fuck off, all of you

God, I hated the guys I worked with sometimes, but there was nobody in this world I trusted more.

Opening the back door, I took off my hat and boots and leaned against the kitchen door, watching Nora be carefree. She ducked behind the counter when she noticed me standing there. “You don’t think it’s a little late for that?” I chuckled.

“How long have you been there?” she asked, not standing up yet.

“Oh, since you two-stepped around the kitchen to Dance Her Home. Maybe next time I can be the one you dance with, instead of that imaginary man you were dreaming of.” Moving to the island, I leaned on it and waited for Nora to resurface. “I might have to fight this one to keep him from dancing with you.”

“Are you still there?” she asked, not willing to peek over the counter edge.

“Yes,” I growled.

“Shit.” She stood, but kept her back to me.

“You owe a quarter.” I laughed and she reached in her pocket and pulled out a coin and walked over to the jar without turning to me. Her music was still playing, and I decided I would cut in. Standing in front of her, I held out my hand. She took it and we swayed to an old George Strait song. She rested her head on my shoulder and I was in a dream come true. Dancing around the kitchen had been something I’d watched my parents do and wanted the same thing for my life. No matter how tired my dad was, he’d grab my mom in his arms and they’d take a moment to dance and connect with one another. “What movie did you pick?”

“Hope Floats, it’s my favorite.” She looked up at me.

“I’ve never seen it.”

“What? Well, if you let me go, I can get supper done and we can eat quickly.” She went to move out of my arms, but I didn’t let her go. Brushing my lips against hers, I pulled away and she nuzzled my neck as we finished dancing to the song. Don’t let your girl go until the song’s over. You don’t want another cowboy taking her away. My dad’s voice rang through my head and I smiled as I held her tighter, swaying around the kitchen. She was relaxed in my arms and I felt like our hearts were beating in tandem. If I was lucky enough to dance her around this kitchen for the rest of my life, it wouldn’t be long enough.

A bowl of popcorn appeared on the table, and then Nora climbed into the chair beside me. Instantly, I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and started her movie. She grabbed the remote from me and fast-forwarded through the start. “What are you doing?”

“I don’t like that part, so I never watch it,” she said, handing me the controller back.

“But I haven’t seen it.” I looked down at her.

“Look, the woman gets embarrassed on national tv. Her husband's cheating and that’s how she finds out. There, now you know, shh let’s watch.”

“I’m trying.” Setting the remote down, I grabbed the popcorn and sat it on my lap. Nora’s hand rested gently on my chest, and her gentle breathing beside me was soothing. I’ve never been a great movie watcher. I don’t like sitting still for that long, but I could get used to this. Suddenly, she shifted and was straddling my lap, popcorn back on the table and she was blocking my view. “What are you doing?”

“This is a sad part. I’m distracting you.” She leaned down and pressed a kiss to my lips. I cupped her head and swooped my tongue into her mouth. She picked up intensity and her kiss set fire to my soul. She sank down onto my lap, and I let my head fall onto the back of the chair as she kissed down my neck. Her fingers grabbed the edge of my shirt and ripped it open. The ripple of the snaps undoing was such a turn on. I vowed here and now never to wear a shirt without snaps ever again. Her lips scorched across my bare chest and I lifted my hips to press my growing thickness against her. Nora moaned and rested her head on my chest. She reached between us and opened my belt. I lifted my hips. I undid my pants and pushed them down. Lifting Nora’s dress to her hips, I moved her panties aside and she hovered above me and sank down, wrapping me in her warmth and wetness.

“God, Nora, was this your plan all along?” I moaned as she lifted off me and lowered herself again.
