One corner of my mouth lifted into a smile. I pulled her against me and lowered my hand to her ass. I squeezed and pressed her against me. I pressed my mouth against the shell of her ear and whispered, “Whenever you want.”
I noticed her breath catch. I also felt her hands run over my ribs. I’d awakened something new in her that she was desperate to explore, and I was more than happy to guide her.
“Are you doing anything today?” Aria asked.
“What do you have in mind?” I asked as I kissed her neck.
“I’m not sure. Is there something fun away from the beach and busy places we can do?”
“I think I have an idea.”

After a pitstop at Aria's vacation apartment and a change of clothes for her, I took us out to the strawberry fields of the Pungo district. She was looking sexy and sweet in the white sleeveless top and blue skirt she’d changed into. It was the perfect day with the sun shining bright and her red tresses blowing gently in the breeze as we approached the gate to Smithdale Strawberry Farm, where I paid for a small basket.
“After you,” I said, directing her to walk slightly ahead of me.
Aria’s eyes lit up. “Strawberry picking?”
“I figured, given you’re living in New York right now, you might be missing your farming roots.”
Aria nodded. “Pop’s farm is the only thing I miss about home.”
“You said he grows apples, so I know this isn’t exactly the same,” I admitted.
“That’s okay. We used to grow some strawberries and other berries on the side, mainly for our own satisfaction more than anything. So, I’m old hat at this.”
“Maybe you can teach me a thing or two,” I said.
With the biggest smile she’d ever given me, Aria snatched the basket from my grasp and hooked it over her arm. She pecked my mouth and said, “Come on, then.”
I took her hand and she led me down one of the rows.
She knelt by one of the plants and gently lifted the leaves to reveal a ruby red berry. “This is what you’re looking for. Big, bright red, juicy fruit. You pinch the stem between your thumb and forefinger and twist.”
I picked the next one. “Easy.”
“Yep,” she agreed.
“Open your mouth,” I said.
I held the fruit out to her. Aria’s eyebrows drew together, unsure at first. I gave her an encouraging nod. She opened her luscious pink lips and bit down on the strawberry. I saw the way her pupils dilated right before her eyelids fluttered closed as a tiny moan escaped her.
“Holy crap, it’s delicious.”
“So are you.” I leaned over and gave her a slow kiss. I enjoyed how responsive she was to me, though I sensed she was a little nervous about this public display of affection.
“How do you do this to me?” she asked when we parted.
“Do what?”
“Make me want to kiss you all the time, no matter where we are, no matter who sees?” Red flushed her cheeks as she glanced around at the other pickers.
I pressed my thumb to her bottom lip. “You know what I think?”
“What?”
“I think we should go somewhere a little more private after this.”
