don’t think I’m going to fit in that space ma’am. Why don’t you come out here and tell me about the problem?” Betty frowned. She was horrible at seduction. Trying to get him to role-play was a stupid idea. She was just going to have to accept that she needed to let Nate either date her or leave. She was going to have to buy batteries. She was going to… Holy crap on a cracker . Nate stood before her with his plumbing uniform on the ground at his feet. He wore a white tank top and the tightest pair of boxer briefs she had ever seen. She must have been staring a bit too long. Either that or she was actually drooling on him. “My uniform was getting stuck on the cabinetry. I hope you don’t mind.” Nate smiled at her response. Betty tried to think of something sexy and playful to say but she just shook her head. “No? You’re okay with me working over your pipes like this?” Betty nodded so hard, her teeth rattled. Nate grinned and knelt down again. “Maybe you could join me if I helped you out of these. Sometimes these jobs get messy. I wouldn’t want you to ruin your clothes.” Betty groaned as Nate’s fingers edged up her tank top. “Nate, I can’t tell you how long I’ve dreamed of being with you again. Just once more.” “And now we’re in the same city. I’ve missed writing to you. I’ve missed talking to you. I’ve thought about touching you like this so many times. And it’s definitely going to be more than once.” There was no hope for words as he kissed her belly button and nibbled his way up her stomach as he rose and brought her top with him. She wanted to believe him. She wanted to get lost in the idea that she could push everything away and start over. She turned and covered the bottle of sand with the dish towel next to the sink. This couldn’t be about the future, not today. Betty had to pretend right now. Before he left again. Nate paused before he reached the point where her bra would be exposed. His eyes found hers and he made it obvious he was giving her a chance to tell him to stop, or tell him to slow down, but Betty didn’t want to back out. She wanted her fantasy. She gripped the tank and dragged it over her head before he could stop her. Nate licked his lips and Betty watched his boxers fight the erection he was sporting. His cock was bigger than she remembered. Of course she hadn’t had anything to reference it to when she’d given herself to him the first time. She reached behind her to unhook her bra, and the waistband of his underwear pulled away from his skin as he adjusted himself. She could see the pink tip of his cockhead. It took her a few extra tries to get the hooks at her back to cooperate. She didn’t feel the usual relief as the offending garment fell to the floor. If anything her skin tightened under his gaze. Her mind flashed back to his hesitant touches so long ago. She wanted to duck down and touch him. She wanted to show him that she could be someone new today. She wanted this to be something new, but he was drawing their past closer instead of helping her leave it behind. He pressed his hands against her aching nipples, and they groaned in unison at being able to touch each other again. She dug her fingers into his hair and pulled his head into her chest. He licked her nipples, taking time to kiss down in the valley between her breasts before pulling the distended tip in between his teeth. This . This was what she needed now. Betty leaned back and gripped the counter for support. He let his hands fall away from her chest and his gaze went to hers. She watched him smile at her before he pulled her skin between his teeth again. Her eyes rolled back and just as she couldn’t hold still any longer, she felt the belt at her waist being undone and pulled from her belt loops. The swish of the leather whipped through the air as Nate tossed it over the half wall. His fingers made quick work of her button and the zipper on her jeans. She
