My heart sinks into my chest. I glance around, not wanting our evening to end. At the edge of the outdoor kitchen, there are a few lit bonfires with Adirondack chairs. “Actually, Lolita, we’re going to finish off our evening over there.”
Ms. Deveaux claps her hands together, smiling. “Wonderful idea, Matthew. The stars are in their element tonight, and you might as well enjoy them before our Cozy Crescent session begins at midnight. I’ll leave you to it.” She gives us a wink before departing.
“I hope you don’t mind,” I say.
Molly tucks her hair behind her ears. “No, uh, I’d really like to stargaze with you.”
Wonderful.
“Take a seat. I’m gonna grab something really quick.”
Her round eyes spark beneath the starry sky. “Are you planning a surprise, Hudson?”
“Just something small.” I toss my hands into my pockets, stretching out my arms. “The least I can do after that wonderful bacon, egg, and cheese.”
“Well, now I know you’re lying,” she laughs and makes her way over to the Adirondack chairs.
I gather marshmallows, graham crackers, and a bar of chocolate from the pantry, along with some skewers before sitting next to her.
“How do you feel about s’mores?” I stab a marshmallow and hand it over to Molly.
“Best. Treat. Ever.” She smiles over the fire, twirling her skewer.
In the haze of the flame, her face is all rubies and gold. She glows as the fire crackles in front of us. She’s beautiful. Always has been. But she’s also brave, vulnerable, and strong. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who’s intrigued me more than her.
I’ve read hundreds of books, studied for thousands of hours, graduated at the top of my class at MIT, but for some reason, I’m struggling to define the feelings I have for her.
I only know that when I look at her, it’s like my cup is full. Colors feel brighter, the air tastes sweeter.
“Matthew?” Her voice is low.
“Yes?”
“I’m going to need the rest of the ingredients.” She looks down at the chocolate and graham crackers in my hands.
“Right,” I laugh, handing them over.
She assembles her own treat.
The sleeve of her goddamn frilly blouse falls again, trailing down her arm. A blue thing that has been bothering me since I saw her put it on this morning. I can see the outline of that damn bra.
The top cups her breasts and cinches at her waist. Between her cleavage is a little white bow. I want to undo it, undo her.
My cock pulses against my jeans.
I’m almost mad at her for wearing it, as irrational as that sounds in my own head. It’s making me want to lose control. But would that be so bad?
If we lost control for a little while?
“I’m so excited for this.” She shows off her s’more. “Actually, do you want a taste?”
Yes. I’d really enjoy one of you.
“Uh.” I pause, glancing down at my chocolate-stained and crumb-covered fingers. “I’ll make my own in a sec.”
“No, no.” Molly hovers her s’more at my mouth. “Just take a bite of mine, seriously.” She brings the sweet, sticky treat to my lips. Her amber gaze is locked on mine as I take a bite. My blood warms in my veins. “How’s that?” She watches me with anticipation.
I finish chewing. “Great, thank you.”
