She sent back a reply, stating that she needed help with setting up charitable giving. After she checked the email, she started looking at charities in the area. There were a lot, but she noted a few that she wanted to look deeper into.

She still needed to get back to Sonja and tell her thank you for showing her the glass. When her new friend had shown up on the porch, it had freaked Frankie out at first, but then she’d seen Sonja standing on the doorstep, waving at the camera.

She’d come by to show off one of her nice pieces of uranium glass. They’d come into the house and turned off all the lights so they could see the plate glow under a UV light. Of course, she’d commented that it looked so interesting. Frankie found it a little weird, though. She wondered if she needed to tell Keel that Sonja had come over. Would he be mad at her?

Keel finished his shower and came out into the den. He’d trimmed up his beard and looked even sexier than before.

She had to pry her eyes from his body so it didn’t get awkward. He took a seat next to her, but not so close that they were touching. The desire to lean against him rose, so she put down her phone and turned to face him, pulling her leg closest to him up on the couch cushion.

“So, you feeling up to watching a movie?” he asked.

“Absolutely. I want to spend the evening with you.”

“First, though, um…” Her heart sped up. Worry filled her. How would he react?

His eyebrows pinched together, and he turned in the seat to face her. “What’s up?”

“So yesterday, Sonja came over.”

“Sonja?”

“The older woman who lives across the street.”

“Oh. That’s right, her name is Sonja. What about her? Is everything okay with her?”

Frankie nodded. “Yes. You aren’t mad she came over?”

Keel let go of a heavy sigh and pulled her close. “No. I’m glad you have friends, even if I don’t know them.”

“She brought over some uranium glass for me to look at.”

“What?”

“Yeah. We turned off the lights and hit it with a UV light. It was wild.”

“Uranium glass. I had no idea…wait, maybe I did. But people keep that in their house?”

“Yeah. She brought a plate over. I didn’t keep it. I hope that’s okay?”

Keel chuckled. “I have no issue with her bringing one over, I just wouldn’t want that kept in my house because I know nothing about it. But I’m glad you are friendly with her.”

She let go of a heavy sigh, and he leaned back, his lips curving up into an infectious smile. It was hard not to smile right back at him. The draw to lean in overwhelmed her, and her chest tightened as his gaze flicked to her lips. Then his hand was on the back of her neck, pulling her closer.

When their lips met, the touch brought a wave of relief. Heat rose, sending desire straight through her. His tongue swept into her mouth, taking the kiss deeper. The pressure of his hands against her back had her moving even closer.

White hot need raced through her veins that wouldn’t be quenched with a simple kiss. When he put more pressure on her back, she didn’t hesitate to throw her knee over his legs and straddle him.

The deep moan from Keel vibrated through her. His hands were in her hair. His lips and tongue drove her desire higher. She wanted to feel his flesh against hers, but was that rushing it? Would he think less of her if she reached down and pulled off her shirt?

Keel knew they were in dangerous waters, but having Frankie’s body plastered against his made his cock so hard he needed relief. At least he wasn’t wearing jeans. That would be painful.

He lifted his hips and then sank down on the couch a little, making it so she was sitting right on top of his very hard cock. A sexy little moan vibrated up her chest and into his mouth. She had to feel his cock. She knew he wanted her.

When the kiss ended, she sat up and stared dreamily at him. Her half-hooded eyes were filled with desire. He pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear as he studied her.

“You’re beautiful.”
