Burning Eden by Kelly Fisher Page A

This was the first time we had ever been alone, face to face, and I started to tremble as he slowly made his way over to me smiling playfully. “You shouldn’t be here, what about your wife?” I asked as he finally came to a stop standing right in front of me. I suddenly found it hard to breathe as he reached up and gently pulled my hair free from the pony tail holder and ran his fingers through my dark hair still gazing deep into my eyes.
    “Oh Eden, I’ve waited for this day for so long. You’re even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. God, I love you,” he said making my heart beat so fast I thought surely it was bound to explode.
    “Jesse, your wife”- I started but he cut me off by pulling my lips to his and kissing me so deeply that I instantly melted into him. Butterflies exploded in my stomach and my skin tingled all over. I wrapped my arms around him and pushed myself closer into him, feeling his hardness against me made me moan in my throat. He backed me up to the small bed in the back of the RV and I lay down hoping he was going to give me what I so desperately wanted. He began to kiss my neck as I pushed myself up against his thickness. “I want you so bad, Jesse,” I pleaded and as he went to slide my shorts off there was a knock at the door and we both jumped. He quickly got up and looked at me with his arms spread open silently asking me what he should do. I put my finger to my lips to let him know to remain quiet; he rolled his eyes at me to let me know he wasn’t stupid. I had to stifle a giggle that was bubbling up inside of me. There was another knock at the door.
    “Mom, are you in there?” Kairo asked. I quickly motioned Jesse into the small bathroom shutting the door behind him and then going to unlock the RV door as fast as I could.
    “Yes I am, Kai. What’s up?”
    “What’s up, indeed,” he said smiling. “What’s up with your hair? Is dad in here with you? Did I interrupt a little something, something?”
    “No, your dad is in the barn. I was…uh…napping,” I lied quickly feeling a slight pang of guilt for being able to lie to my son so easily. I tried to brush my hair back with my fingers realizing I must look like a complete mess.
    “Oh, well sorry for waking you. Uncle Dave wanted me to come get you for lunch. He said he was making some electric lemonade and he knows how much you love it so he asked me to come find you.”
    “Ah, yes electric lemonade. I think I shall partake in a few of those,” I smiled. After what just happened I could definitely use a few drinks.
    “Ok, let’s go then,” Kai said as he started bounding down the RV steps.
    “I’ll be there in a minute, Kai.”
    “What’s up, now?” he asked. He stopped halfway across the yard to wait for me.
    “What’s up, indeed,” I said pointing at my messy head of hair. He laughed loudly then nodded his head and made his way back to the farmhouse. I quickly closed the RV door and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Chapter 19
     
                  I picked up my hair tie from the floor where it had fallen from Jesse’s hand and pulled my hair back into a bun. I walked over to the bathroom door and opened it to find Jesse hiding in the small shower stall. When I opened the stall door and saw the sheepish grin on his face I had to let my laughter out.
    “It’s ok, it was Kairo letting me know lunch is ready so we should probably head to the house but I really don’t think we should show up together,” I said.
    “You’re probably right. That might look a bit suspicious, huh?”
    “Just a little,” I said holding my thumb and forefinger close together. “I guess you should go first and tell them that you were checking out the grounds or something. I’ll wait a few minutes and then head over.” He quickly grabbed my hands and my heart started pounding again.
    “When do you think we can be alone together again, Eden?  I need to know because I so desperately want you and I have
