I pulled her closer, feeling every inch of her possible. Even with heavy winter coats on, I had never felt closer to her. Her lips moved against mine, and I gently used my tongue to pry her mouth open.
She let out a brief exhale that sent shivers down my spine. I needed her right here, right now. I didn’t care that it was freezing outside. I didn’t care that her entire family was just inside. I had spent long enough waiting for her; I didn’t think I could wait anymore.
“Owen,” she said with a sigh as my hand moved along her back.
I moved towards her ear and gently nibbled on her earlobe, something that she obviously enjoyed. I kissed the sensitive skin behind her ear and she squirmed in my arms. I moved back over to her lips, disappointed that there was very little skin that I could access right now.
She stood up onto her toes and kissed my neck. I knew my stubble was probably scratching her, but she didn’t seem to mind. Her whole focus was on moving her mouth against my skin, and making me desperate for her.
All I could think about was her touch. We had gotten so close before. I shouldn’t have wasted so much time that night. I should have ripped her clothes off and made her mine while I had the chance. I didn’t know if I was going to get that chance again, but deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be tonight.
I let her kiss me a moment longer before I couldn’t stand it anymore. I picked her up and placed her on the banister of the deck. She was perfectly positioned to wrap her legs around my hips, and she did so immediately. I was locked into her grasp, and I could feel the heat emanating from her.
I was certain she could feel my desire for her growing with each kiss, but I wanted her to know how much I longed for her. I needed her to know that I would do anything for her. She kissed me with passion and intensity, and I gave it right back to her.
I couldn’t remember ever kissing anyone with such fire. It was like the world was about to end, and these last few minutes were all we were ever going to get.
“Skye,” I breathed into her neck, “I need you.”
Her lips found mine without responding, but I knew she needed me just as much. Our passion for one another was undeniable. All I could think about was getting her inside and getting her clothes off.
Apparently, she had the same idea, because she slid down from her perch and grabbed my ass for just a moment before looking up at me again.
“We can try to sneak inside,” she whispered, cocking her head towards the door.
I nodded, completely speechless. Skye opened the door, and we were surprised by all of the lights that were still on, and the noise coming from the living room around the corner. We glanced at each other, realizing there was no way we would be able to sneak into her room unnoticed now.
“What are they all still doing up?” I whispered.
Skye shrugged and led me around the corner into view of her family. It appeared all the kids had gone to bed, but the adults were just beginning round two of their party for the evening. Champagne was being passed around, and it looked like Sierra was pouring shots for everyone, too.
“Maybe they’ll get drunk enough that they won’t remember if you stay here,” she whispered.
“You really want to risk it?”
She thought about that for a moment, looked around at the faces in the room, and somehow had more sense than I did. She shook her head and walked me to the front door.
“Thanks for the kiss,” she said as she craned her neck to give me a peck on the cheek.
“Right back at you,” I said as I opened the door.
I stepped back out into the cold night air feeling empty and disappointed. This wasn’t how I wanted the night to end, but I guess that’s how it had to be for now.
Morning came far too earlythe next day, especially since all I had done for the entire night was fantasize about everything I wanted to do with Skye that still hadn’t been possible yet. I woke up multiple times throughout the night, expecting her to be beside me, but every time, I was left alone.
Cora came bouncing into my room the moment the sun came up, and my head was not prepared for the onslaught of never-ending questions that she had prepared for me.
Can we play that game when we get home?
Can we stay up late again tonight?
Is Beth going to be our nanny forever?
Are we going to get a new mom?
Where are we?
When are we going home?
