panting as she felt him stiffen and release inside her. Her breathing was still ragged when he collapsed beside her. For a long moment, neither of them moved. Nothing could tear her from that spot. It was the best place in the world, and set her mind at ease so she could rest.

    T ara pulled herself up to look at Kevin while he slept. He seemed restless, and slowly, he opened his eyes.
    “Are you feeling better?” he asked, a smirk on his face and a devilish, albeit sleepy glint in his eye.
    “Much.” She kissed him softly, happy to see his distant look was long gone.
    “What time is it?” he asked, stretching out.
    She looked at her watch and couldn’t believe they had slept for so long.
    “Um...we must have needed the rest. It’s five o’clock.”
    “Time flies, right?” He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her back down to him. His arousal was back in full force, pressing against her thigh.
    She thought to push him away, but wanted him all over again.
    “I thought we had an appointment at six.”
    “We do, but I think we can spare a few more minutes.” The grin on his face was as much of a tease as his cock against her leg.
    She was about to position herself to take him inside, but heard a rustling noise through the window. It startled her and her body stiffened.
    “What was that?” she asked.
    “Probably nothing,” he answered.
    He moved in closer to her, but she heard it again and pushed him away.
    “Don’t you hear that?” she whispered.
    He stopped to listen. When the sound came through again, he perked up. “It’s probably just a small animal looking for food.”
    It was possible, but Tara felt it was unlikely for animals to take shelter in such a small wooded area. In any case, she couldn’t get back into the mood anymore.
    “Will you check?” she pleaded.
    He sighed and got up to look through the window.
    “Whatever it was, it’s gone now,” he said, shrugging. “We should clean up and get to what I have planned for you next.”
    Six o’clock was approaching quickly and she was ready to get back into her clothes and on their way. They dressed, collected their belongings, and neatened the room before heading into the hallway.
    “Wait for me. I’ve got to freshen up,” Tara announced as they passed the ladies washroom. She popped in and was back within a few minutes.
    “This was a nice idea, Kev,” she admitted, unable to suppress a giggle. “We’ll have to do it more often.”
    “I’m game,” he agreed as he locked up.
    They were back on the road in short order.
    “Where are we going now?” she asked, excited to go anywhere with him.
    “I told you...it’s a surprise. You’ll find out soon enough.”
    She rolled her eyes, but deep down she was thrilled. It didn’t matter where they were going as long as they were together.

    K evin remembered the address. He hoped it would work out, because it’d be perfect. His fingers remained intertwined with Tara’s as he drove a few more blocks and then turned down a long, winding road. She fidgeted in her seat a couple of times, but he decided he wouldn’t tell her where they were going. He enjoyed surprising her.
    As houses came into view, he looked at the addresses. Each house was separated by a mile of land, offering privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. When he spotted the house, he slowed down in front of it. There was a small red car parked out front, hiding the sign in the yard.
    “What are we doing?” she asked, glancing at him. “Don’t tell me we ran out of gas.”
    He shook his head. “No, we’re here. Come on.”
    He got out of the car and ran around to the passenger side to help her out. She was confused.
    “I don’t understand. What could we possibly be doing here in the middle of nowhere?”
    “That’s my surprise.” As they walked, the sign came into view, and he pointed to it. When she said nothing, he added, “I found someone who wants to rent out their house out for the winter. It’s
