finished her statement by pulling Jacob against her. She ran her nose along his collarbone and took in a deep breath of his masculine scent before claiming his lips with hers. Her stubbornness had kept them apart for two days and Lorna knew she had a lot of time to make up for. For once in her life, she didn’t care about work and car deadlines, or what anyone else in town thought of her. She was going to spend her time making out with her boyfriend and enjoying it.

“I’m really glad you agreed to come with me tonight.”
Lorna looked up at Jacob and grinned as she popped another piece of cotton candy in her mouth. She just about moaned at the sweet taste. Pulling another piece, she held it up to his mouth and waited for him to lean down and take it. “I’m really glad I came too.” They had been there about two hours just talking and checking out all of the sights. They weren’t able to go on any of the rides because of his knee, but Lorna was still having fun.
She shivered when Jacob sucked her finger into his mouth along with the cotton candy and nipped it before letting it go. He had done it several times since telling her she had to hand feed him as they walked along since he needed both hands to use his crutches. Each time he pulled her finger into his mouth, it took everything Lorna had to keep from throwing him to the ground and giving the crowd a real show.
When they had arrived, it seemed as though the town took a collective gasp when they saw her get out of Jacob’s truck with him. Since then, it seemed that as the day went on, the crowd that followed them around had grown. Lorna could hear the whispers, but was trying her best to ignore them. Between her soaked panties and rising lust for Jacob, and her frustration with the crowd that refused to give them any privacy, her warring emotions were about to drive her crazy.
As if sensing her thoughts, Jacob stopped and pulled her up against his chest. “Don’t worry about them. They will eventually get bored once they see they aren’t going to get a show. They’ll move on soon enough.”
Lorna really hoped so. She turned her nose and ran it along Jacob’s collarbone before kissing it. She loved his masculine smell and it did a lot more to calm her than his words. Even though the night was really warm, she wiggled her way closer to him as if she was trying to burrow under his skin. The warmth of Jacob’s large body felt wonderful.
“Come on. You’ve had your cotton candy, now I want one of those huge corn dogs and maybe a beer.”
Lorna laughed and turned to lead Jacob. “Come on. I know exactly where we can get both.”
She led him over to a tent that had several picnic benches set up under it. “Have a seat and I’ll go get everything.” She knew he was having a hard time maneuvering through the crowd with his crutches, and based on the stress lines around his mouth and the sheen of sweat above his lip, Jacob was in pain.
“Are you okay?” Lorna sat down next to him, concerned. “Do we need to go?”
Jacob shook his head. “I’m okay, nothing a few aspirin can’t handle. I’m having too much fun with you to leave.” He grimaced. “You may want to hold off on that beer, though. As much as I would love one, I better not mix alcohol with medication.”
Lorna stared at the stubborn set of Jacob’s jaw and realized there was no way she was going to convince him to go home and rest his leg. Nodding, she got up and headed to the concession stand.
Without Jacob by her side, it took Lorna longer than she expected to get through the crowd. They had been nice enough to get out of his way as he moved, but now that she was alone, they acted like she didn’t exist. Throwing an elbow, Lorna grinned, satisfied when she heard the guy she had to squeeze past grunt.
By the time she fought her way to the concession stand and headed back, Lorna felt anger rising. She gripped the tray in front of her tightly as she was jostled,
