“Sure,” she finally answered. “You’re buying dinner and dessert tonight.”
“I can do that. Restaurant at the inn?”
“I’ll meet you there around seven.”
Lucy showed up at the restaurant right at seven. Her hair was still wet from the shower.
“I love the smell of coffee, but not as a perfume,” she joked.
They ordered their dinner, and Lucy said, “You know, I remember being twelve. I couldn’t imagine having a job or doing grown up stuff. I kind of thought that I would stay twelve forever. That was yesterday.”
“I know what you mean. I miss those days,” Micah said. “I miss laughing at you when you did crazy things, like wrecking your motorcycle and ending up covered from head to foot in mud.”
“That wasn’t funny,” Lucy exclaimed. “The carburetor flooded, and it took me forever to get it started again.”
“I told you that you should have gotten a Kawasaki instead,” Micah said.
“What about you? You decided that you were going to prove to everyone how brave you were and climbed that huge tree. You managed to slide out on that branch. It broke and you hit every branch all the way to the ground, breaking your arm,” Lucy retorted.
“Yeah, I was pretty sure that my father wanted to beat my ass for that one, but Mom wouldn’t let him. She said my broken arm was punishment enough.”
“It seemed that it wasn’t, because I recall you climbing that exact same tree as soon as your arm healed,” Lucy said, shaking her head.
“I couldn’t let it beat me, now, could I?” Micah joked.
Micah was glad to see that Lucy visibly relaxed as they continued their banter through dinner.
Once dessert was served and eaten, Micah walked Lucy back to her room. He cupped her face in his hands and brushed his lips across hers. He thought he felt her knees buckle a little as he pressed harder against her mouth, consuming her, just as the aching need was about to overtake him.
He pulled away, touched her face, and then said, “Good night, Lucy. Sweet dreams,” before disappearing inside his room.
Micah smiled to himself, because he was sure that Lucy watched him walk away, wanting more than just a kiss from him.

Lucy
Lucy walked into her room and sat down heavily in her chair. She put her fingers to her lips, where she could still feel the warmth from Micah’s kiss. It had been intense, and Lucy admitted to herself that it had made her knees weak.
It was more than just the gentle touch of his hands on her face. It was more than the pressure of his lips against hers and the way he made love to her mouth with his.
She had experienced some incredible kisses in the past, although none of them could measure up to the talent that Micah had. However, no kiss had ever affected her the way that Micah’s did.
Rubbing her face, she closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair. The kiss had done more than simply tantalized her mouth. It had sent a flood of fire exploding through her body making her crave more. She wanted more. The memory of their breaths mingling together as his tongue danced with hers made her heart thunder in her chest.
Tingling sensations of pure electricity ran through her veins as her body started to burn. The hot, wet need exploded between her legs as she remembered how it felt when he had filled her, bringing her ecstatic pleasure that she had never imagined possible.
She would have invited him into her room if he hadn’t walked away. Lucy wasn’t foolish enough to deny that she wouldn’t have turned him away if he had wanted to make love to her again. In actuality, the minute he stepped into her room, she would have pulled his shirt off so she could touch his incredible chest and she wouldn’t have stopped there.
Groaning at her unfulfilled ache, she rubbed herself through her jeans, feeling the heat that Micah’s kiss had created. Her hard nub was starting to throb.
She pulled her pants and panties off, followed by her shirt and bra. Laying on the bed, she rubbed her clit, fantasizing that Micah’s hard body was on top of hers. The heat built up inside of her and exploded onto her fingers.
Lying on the bed panting, her arms ached for Micah. She wanted so much to reach for him and pull him close to her, but he wasn’t there.
Thinking back to the kiss in the hallway, Lucy swore that she saw the same desires in Micah’s eyes that she had felt in hers, yet he had walked away. She wondered if she had taken matters into his own hands, as she had.
Biting her bottom lip, Lucy wondered why Micah had kissed her so intently and then left her hanging in the hallway.
