Page 221 of The Path to Loving Him
“Your erection aroused me from a deep slumber.”
He lets out a deep laugh. “Wow, I didn’t know my penis had such powers.”
“Oh, it does. It has wonderful powers. Orgasm-inducing powers. The kind of powers only found in one in every hundred thousand penises.”
“One in one hundred thousand, huh?” He pats his crotch. “Good job, my man.”
“Oh my God.” I laugh as he tackles me to the sofa and slides his hands up my shirt right to my bare breasts.
I sigh and spread my legs, making room for his large body.
He starts laying down kisses along my neck all the way up to the sensitive part of my ear, a place that he knows will turn me on just as fast as kissing my inner thigh.
“So you’re officially moving in with me?” He kisses along my jaw as I start pulling on his shirt to take it off.
“Depends,” I say as he helps me take off his shirt, only to remove mine as well. I watch his eyes take in my bare chest, and I swear the look of awe will never get old.
Ever.
“Depends on what?” he asks as he places his hands on my shorts and drags those off me as well, leaving me completely bare to him.
“On how many times you make me come tonight.”
His eyebrow quirks up in the cutest way ever. “Is that a goddamn challenge?”
“It is.”
“Then consider yourself fucked because you’re getting no sleep tonight.” He moves his head between my legs, and all I can do is smile as I run my fingers through his hair, knowing I’m about to have the night of my life.
Chapter Thirty-Three
RYLAND
“I don’t think it’s too much. Do you think it’s too much?” Hattie asks as we stare out at the amusement park in front of us.
Typically, we’d hold a town event in the open space next to the inn, but because Ethel and Hattie joined forces and made this way more than it should have been, they had to move it to the park down the street that’s right next to the drive-in movie theater. Now I see why.
A Ferris wheel is the first thing that catches the eye because it towers over the entire space. Next is the movie screen in the background withWelcome Back, Bennett Brinkmanscrolled across it.
And then filling in the space are other rides like the scrambler and a giant slide. Lots of booths for fair-like games, all themed around baseball. Food trucks and food stands are posted around the perimeter, while picnic tables, blankets, and other seating arrangements are spread throughout.
“Uh, it’s a lot.” I keep looking around at the bunting and decorations. “Who the hell paid for all of this?”
“Ethel said the Peach Society handled it all.” Hattie shrugs. “I didn’t think everything on the wish list was going to be granted. Do you think this will embarrass him?”
I pull on the back of my neck. “Hell, I have no idea. I know that Mac will love it.”
“When is she going to be here?” Hattie asks as people start meandering through the gates. There’s a charge fee of five dollars a person, which, if you ask me, is a damn bargain given what’s going on. “Because I want her to enjoy all the things before they start the movie.”
“The movie?” I ask.
“Oh yeah, they’re going to be playingA League of Their Ownon the screen with speakers so everyone can watch, even if they’re maybe not watching.”
“A League of Their Own? Love the movie, but it’s about women playing baseball. They know that, right?”
Hattie eyes me. “Are you being a misogynistic douche?”
“Uh, did you not hear me say I love the movie?”
