Swoop on Love (2 page)

Chapter
Three

He walked to her. His strides long so that he got to her before she decided to run back to her car.

“They’re not for sale now
. Haven’t been for a long time, if that’s why you’re snooping around them,” he said.

Jeanie
shook her head. “No, no, I was only looking…” She trailed off. She didn’t know what to say, and had a disquieting urge to touch him. To check if he was real and because he exuded the kind of sexuality she’d only read about. She gazed at him, at his perfect nose and his inviting lips, and put her fingertips to her own lips.

A flicker of amusement appeared in his eyes, to be replaced by kindness.

“You were here earlier. Reed told me.”

Jeanie widened her eyes.
Does he expect me to believe Reed looked at me hard enough to be able to give a description? He looked at me when he sat up there on the weird old sign, and that’s how he knows
. She was sure of it.

His eyes still held an expression of kindness.
It gave her courage.

“I only met Reed fleetingly. He was worried I’d taken photographs of a bird
. A huge bird that flew over my car, and then sat up there on the sign.” She glanced at the grassy space with its old sign, and then smiled at the man. “A beautiful bird.”

A
perceptive look appeared on his face, and he took a deep breath. “And had you taken photographs?”

She concentrated on his expression.
He must know, unless when he’s the bird he’s unaware of what humans are doing.
Although those thoughts were bizarre, Jeanie was convinced that somehow the man before her could change into that spectacular bird.

He gazed at her for a moment longer. “You told Reed you hadn’t.” His tone wasn’t exactly accusatory, but his eyes held the truth. He knew she’d gotten pictures of the bird and that those pictures showed it to be him.

She took a step back, wondering if he would suddenly swoop on her. “So why are the houses all empty? Have they really been bought?”

The man nodded
, putting his hands into his jean pockets. His gesture was attractive as his muscles moved under the dark blue, cotton T-shirt he wore. “They have. Why are you back here?”

She quaked, s
urprised at the forthright way he asked.
How can I tell the truth? I can’t
. She moved another step back from him. “I’m leaving now. Sorry, I had no idea the whole road was private. You talk as if I’m trespassing.” She turned and walked swiftly to her car.
He’s gorgeous, sure, he’s mysterious, but I wish I’d met him in different circumstances.
As she approached her car, she took her keys from her pocket and unlocked it, ready to dive in there and get away.

He gave her a fright when he leaned around and opened her car door for her.

She jumped away and he laughed.

“Sorry
. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

Jeanie took hold of her car door and turned to him.
“Thank you.” She was about to get in when he touched her lightly on the arm. It sent a shock of sensation along to her breasts. She shivered.

“I’m Nathan
, by the way. I’ve been hostile and rude. I’d like to remedy that. Could I offer you a drink? There’s a restaurant further along the road, they have a great garden bar. It’s still a lovely evening.”

S
he stared up into his face, overcome with longing to be with him in this restaurant garden. He looked hopeful and interested. Loneliness made her reckless. She nodded, casting aside suspicion and taking a chance. “Okay, yes that would be nice.” She didn’t add that it would be the first Saturday night in more than eighteen months she wouldn’t spend alone.

“
I can go get my truck if you’d like me to drive us.” His voice gave away his happiness at her answer.

“
No, I’ll drive us. You can give directions.”

He smiled and little lines appeared next to his eyes. They were endearing
.

W
armth spread through her as she imagined hugging him.

He went around to the passenger side as she got into her car and started the engine.

When he settled next to her, she looked at him. “Which way?”

“Go left
, and follow the road.”

****

The restaurant was visible for a long distance on the straight road before they reached it. Lit up in the summer evening, fairy lights twinkled in the trees out front, and strings of them attached to the building looked like a sparkly fringe, even in the remaining daylight.

It
was unexpectedly exciting to be next to this man.
She felt a wave of pleasure that he’d asked her out. “It must look so pretty when it’s really dark.” Jeanie smiled as she glanced at Nathan.

“It does
. It’s always full, too. It’s a happy place to be.” He sounded wistful.

She
looked his way again. He stared out the side window, so she couldn’t see his expression. Suddenly under a strong wave of need, she wanted to hold him, kiss his incredible lips, snuggle against that muscular chest, and then… She sighed.

“That was a big sigh. You know you haven’t told me your name.”

Surprised that it hadn’t occurred to her to tell him her name even when he told her his, she answered. “It’s Jeanie, sorry.”

“A pretty name for a pretty girl.” His
tone was tender.

She was t
ired of her solitary life. A spark of hope flared that maybe she’d met a man interested in her, even if he was involved in some kind of strangeness.

They reached the restaurant and Jeanie parked her car. Nathan got out of his side and swiftly appeared at Jeanie’s door to help her. He smiled at her as she thanked him. He didn’t move away from her and they stood so close to each other
, Jeanie yearned to kiss his perfect mouth.

H
e bent toward her and whispered, “You’re so pretty. I’m very glad you came back. Why did you? You never told me.”

His breath teased her ear
, and her nipples peaked against her T-shirt. She slowly moved her head until her mouth hovered a centimeter from his. She closed her eyes, captivated by his nearness. He kissed her then, softly. His lips explored hers, firm, then soft and moist. A simple touch of his tongue against her mouth sent her into a spiral of desire. Her whole body responded to the kiss. A rush of heated desire wet her pussy. Her breasts were heavy as she craved his hands on them. She leaned into the kiss. His arms circled her, pressing her against his hard body. He stopped the kiss and although he still held her, he loosened his grip and moved a fraction away.

“I wanted to kiss you as soon as I saw you. Let’s find a table.” He
walked easily and confidently. They navigated the array of small, square tables dotted around the paved area at the side of the main restaurant building. He stopped next to a big tree and pulled out a chair for her at the table there.

Jeanie
sat down. Nathan brought the chair from the opposite side of the table to be close to her. A lit candle in a green, glass container flickered in the middle of the table. He pushed it away to the far end, and then smiled at her.

“Do you want to eat
? They do great fish dishes here.”

Jeanie shook her head, suddenly shy under his blue gaze.
He’s so attractive.
“No, just coffee will be great.”

A staff member arrived at their table
. Nathan gave him a cheery look. He took a menu from the young man and handed it to Jeanie. Nathan leaned close to her ear. “Ice cream cake then, it’s very yummy with coffee.”

Jeanie couldn’t help smiling as she looked at the menu
. A range of dessert cakes was available with coffee.

She glanced at the waiter
. “Black coffee and a piece of chocolate ice-cream cake, please.” She handed Nathan the menu because he hadn’t taken one for himself, but he closed it and gave it to the young man waiting for their order.

“I’ll have the same, thank you.”

They were alone at the table once again, and Nathan leaned on one elbow to gaze at Jeanie.

“Tell me what brought you to Owlswick
. Its not somewhere people stop anymore.”

She gazed back at him and thought about the kiss. She touched her lips with her fingertips
, and Nathan ran his tongue over his top lip. He took her hand and held it on the table gently. It seemed completely right that they were together like this, strangers to each other, but wrapped in a curious spell of longing.

“I wanted to check the houses out
. Three in a row empty seems unusual.” Could he see the lie in her eyes?

He nodded, but didn’t comment.

“Have you always lived around here?” she asked him, trying to get him away from the subject of why she was there.

“No, but for a long time now.” A little frown came and went between his eyes.

He looked as if he was thinking of something sad from his expression. Tempted to kiss the frown away, Jeanie took a deep breath.

“Is Reed your brother?”

He smiled. “No, he’s my very best friend and we’ve lived together forever. What about you, do you have brothers or sisters?”

“No, I’m an only child and my parents don’t even live in this country now. They took a holiday in New Zealand and loved it so much
, they moved there.”

Nathan looked at her for a few moments
, an unreadable expression on his face. Then he brought her hand to his lips and brushed the fingertips in a kiss that Jeanie felt was a gesture of comfort.

Their order arrived and Reed
ate a forkful of his ice-cream cake. He put the fork down and picked up his coffee. After taking a sip, he put it down and settled to watch Jeanie.

She smiled at him and tasted the cake. “You’re right
, it’s great.” She noticed he wasn’t eating his, so she left her fork on the plate and drank some coffee.

He
stared at her, his expression dreamy. The space between them charged as if they were already lovers.

Her gaze
traced the contours of his face. She looked into his blue eyes and a pull of attraction to him so strong shook her. To her surprise her pussy throbbed. A drench of cream wet her panties. Her breath escaped in a gasp of pleasure when the throb happened again.

He seemed to sense it because he moved closer to her
. He stroked her arm, and then along her neck in a teasing, gentle way.

Jeanie
’s skin tingled under his touch.

“I’m glad you kissed me at your car. I’d like to get to know you better. Tell me about yourself. Do you work around here?” H
e spoke in a whisper as he stared at her mouth.

Jeanie didn’t want to say he’d been the one to kiss her. She wanted more kisses. She
slid her hand along his jaw, and brought his face to hers. They were trapped in a web of sexual need. A fresh rush of wetness soaked her panties as she kissed him. Her nipples were hard, and all she could think about was what it might be like being in bed with him. She tried to bring herself down to earth. They’d only just met. He was the huge bird in her photograph. But his lips were so delicious against hers, and his hands on her neck gave her shivers of pure sex down to her pussy. He was a man right then, not a bird. A sexy man and she wanted him.

They drew back from each other. He looked as if he
was trying to bring himself down to earth, too. He picked up his coffee cup as she answered his question.

“I work in the city. I commute there. It’s not so far. Sometimes there’s a gridlock, but usually I listen to music, and the journey is okay.”

He nodded. “I love music. What do you listen to?”

They talked about bands and favorite music tracks, and all the time the spell of sex wove around them. It brought them closer to each other. Nathan held her hand again and traced along her wrist with his fingertips. She leaned in to have her head close to his.
Darkness fell and the lights in the tree next to them sparkled.

“We should leave. The ice cream is melted. Let’s go.” Nathan
leapt to his feet. He pulled money from his wallet, and left it under the plate with the bill on it. He took her hand and led her through the busy garden eatery to the car park.

At her car,
he stood close to her by the driver side door. It was a very dark area, and only a soft glow reached them from the fairy lights in the trees. They looked at each other.

Anticipation quickened
her breathing.

Chapter
Four

They fell into each other’s arms. Nathan pulled her close and kissed her softly. Jeanie responded to him. She pressed against him with such passion it filled him with a longing he’d not experienced for many years. He drew back from her and rested his forehead against hers. They breathed against each other for a moment before Nathan kissed her again. Down her neck, across her throat, up to her ear, where he lingered and whispered, “You’re so lovely.”

She
pushed closer and he cupped her bottom, pulling her in so that she could feel his cock hard against her. It felt so good to press against her, that he lost himself in kissing her. He nibbled her bottom lip. At her gasp of desire, his stomach clenched and his cock jerked. He slid his tongue against hers and kissed her until he couldn’t breathe. Her body felt so right against his, and he savored the taste of her lips, the softness of her ass in his hands. His heart pounded and although he hadn’t set out to, he wanted it all to be real. He thrust against her, ramming her back against her car. She clung to him, murmuring low sounds of pleasure. His cock was so hard he thought he might come right then when she smoothed her hands down the back of his thighs, leaving a trail of heat through his jeans.

He wondered how he could get her to take him home and
pushed her T-shirt up so that he could kiss her breasts. He trembled at the thrilling thought of having her nipples in his mouth, and he pulled the lace cup of her bra away. He kissed her lips then left them to swoop on her exposed breast. He opened his mouth to have as much of her breast in there as possible, and closed his eyes as he sucked. His cock strained against his zipper, and with a low moan, he stopped sucking her breast.

She
clutched at his head. He kissed her open mouth sucking in the tip of her tongue as it met his. Then she was opening his jeans. His heart beat hard in his chest. If she touched his cock he’d come because it had been so long. He groaned. All he could think of was fucking. He grabbed her hand and moved it away from his zipper. He stopped the kiss reluctantly, his eyes heavy with lust he opened them to look at Jeanie.

“Not here, we’re so close to other cars. Take me home
with you.” He didn’t wait for an answer. He kissed her again, and again, raiding her mouth, biting her bottom lip, until she held his face still. He was losing control and the sheer lust tearing him apart shocked him. He moaned as her lips left his to answer him.

“Okay, but we have to stop kissing and get in the car
to go home.”

He smiled at her and took a deep breath.

“Yes.” Nathan’s voice shook.

They let go of each other.
His hand trembled as he opened the car door, then when Jeanie was inside he walked carefully around to the passenger side. He sat down and looked across at her. She watched him. Her eyes were dark. He closed his against the urge to lunge at her, and drag her face back to his to cover it with wet kisses.

She started the engine and drove slowly out of the car park. The road had few streetlights, and as they left the glow from the restaurant lights behind, Nathan leaned so that he could reach Jeanie and slipped his hand up inside her T-shirt. He found her breast still outside of the lace cup and her nipple was standing up. He smoothed his hand around on her breast
. His breath quickened. He rolled her nipple between his fingertips.

S
he gave a small sound, an “uh” of pleasure. His cock leaked.

He unzip
ped her jeans, desperate to stroke along her stomach, to feel the soft V at the junction of her thighs as she drove.

She gasped as he trailed his fingers as far down to her pussy as he could.

Uncaring of safety, he unclipped his seat belt, leaning further to kiss under her ear, and then suck her ear lobe. Her low moan enticed him. He probed further with his fingers.

“Nathan, I can’t drive with you doing this.”

Her words woke him from a haze of lust.

Mercifully, they approached Owlswick. He took his hands from her. “Sorry, I need you so much now. I had to touch you. We could stop here. Go past The Art Barn, drive alongside the empty houses.”

Jeanie did as she was
told and brought the car to a stop down the driveway of the furthest empty house. She switched off the engine and turned to him.

Nathan
brought her face to his and kissed her urgently. “No one will see us here. Let’s get out. I’m desperate to hold you close.” His breathe came in snatches. He ached for her body against his. His desperation ate at his composure. He kissed her hard until his lips hurt.

Her kiss matched his and she bit his bottom lip.

“Let’s get out.” It was a plea through his passion bruised lips. He let her go.

She nodded and opened her car door.
She turned back to him, ran her fingers along his jaw, and her touch sent waves of lust straight to his cock.

They kissed softly once more and then both got out of the car.

Nathan walked quickly to her side and crushed her against him. He dragged her T-shirt up and off, kissing her face as he dropped it onto the car bonnet. He took her bra off and then wrenched his own T-shirt off. He crushed her against his chest and groaned into her shoulder as he felt her breasts against him. Her nipples grazed him, inviting his fingers. Her skin against his was almost too much to take. He thrust his hips against her as he kissed her hard.

She stroked along
his back.

He shuddered with desire. “I need you.”

He dragged her jeans down her hips. She sucked on his neck. It sent him over the edge and with a low groan, he let her go to drag his jeans off.

They were both almost frantic. It took seconds for them to be naked. Nathan lifted her onto the car bonnet and spread her legs to stand between them. He kissed her as he
caressed her wet pussy with his fingers. A ragged sigh of desperation escaped him as he slid a finger into her and she moaned against his lips. He withdrew his finger to add another. He pushed two fingers in and then out of her pussy, finger fucking her, his tongue in her mouth, his cock rock hard and leaking against his stomach.

Her hands
traced down his hips and around to the backs of his thighs and she pulled him towards her.

He stopped fingering her
and circled her clit with his thumb. He murmured sounds against her lips, licking them as she rocked her mound against his hand. He rubbed his knuckles along in her cream and stroked her clit.

“Please.”

The word made his stomach flip and his breath left him. He nearly fell to his knees, but he so needed his cock inside her now his urgency made him thrust his fingers back hard into her pussy. She was so wet his fingers slid into her almost lifting her, and then his raw needs took over. He guided his cock into her pussy. As he thrust into her, he picked her up and brought her hard against him. His cock went deep. He heard her moan. His thrusts were slow, in and then almost out as he savored her wet, tight heat.

The wait in the car to be with her was worth it, and he groaned with every stroke. He laid her back onto the car bonnet and grasped her thighs to have her legs wider. Her eyes were closed and her mouth tantalized him, but he couldn’t stop pounding into her. He was on the edge of orgasm when, longing to feel the softness of her lips again, he stopped
thrusting. He lifted her against his body to rub her peaked nipples against his chest.

He kissed along her neck. He breathed against her ear and she shivered.

“Don’t stop.” She pressed against him.

H
e slid her up and down his cock to feel the slick suck of her inner muscles.

“Make me come
,” she whispered.

Her request
tore at him and he thrust hard up into her.
I‘ll never get enough of her.
They were both gasping and softly groaning. She clung to him tight and drove down hard on his cock. Her face against his, her breath brushed his cheek as she moaned and her hips jerked with her orgasm.

Nathan thrust in one hard, long, slide
. His orgasm pumped through him. He had to sit Jeanie down a little onto the car bonnet when it rocked him, weakening his knees. He felt the delicious waves of orgasm go right up his stomach. They drove him to thrust uncontrollably. He groaned open mouthed against her cheek as the sensation pulsed through him.

They cuddled together
, their breathing ragged.

A whole minute passed as Nathan
’s cock gave little jerks inside Jeanie’s pussy, and in return, she throbbed. He ran his hands up and down the soft skin of her back and hips nestling his face in her neck. It was the best he’d felt in months, years, if he was really counting.

They stilled against each other in the warm night air, contentment closing their eyes
for a few minutes.

Nathan
didn’t want to take his cock out of her pussy. He didn’t want to lose the feel of her breasts crushed against his chest. He smiled happily and hugged her tighter. His cock, now at an awkward angle and reducing slightly in size, slid a little from her. Jeanie shifted and he slid out completely. He sighed.

“Are you cold?”
he asked in a whisper.

“Not yet.”
She kissed him.

Nathan
basked in her kisses. “Maybe we should get into your car. I can feel your bottom getting cold now on this metal.” He smiled at her.

****

They didn’t collect their clothes, only slid into the back seat of Jeanie’s car. He pulled her onto his knee her thigh against his cock.

She
traced his muscles with her fingertips.

He grabbed her other hand and sucked her fingertips into his mouth voraciously. A low groan escaped him as she stopped stroking his chest and moved her fingers down his stomach.

She gently touched the head of his cock. Her fingertips went over the shape of him delicately, and he let go of her hand to suck on the bottom of her neck.

She strok
ed his cock, up and down, and around his balls until his erection began to build again. He moved his legs apart and she fell in the gap. It was what he wanted so that he could reach his fingers into her pussy. He slid them into her as deep as he could and felt her ride them a couple of times as she grasped his cock. He kissed her and rubbed his nose against hers, to kiss her again, the feel of her skin against his face addictive.

His cock was hard again now and pushing at the palm of her hand as she held him. He fingered her and kissed her before he whispered. “Ride m
e. Sit on me. Let me feel you come on me. Jeanie, fuck me. I need it.”

She shivered against him at his words
. A rush of wet coated his fingers.

He smiled.
His words made her wet. He took his fingers from her, and helped her up so that she could slide back down onto his cock, her knees on either side of his legs, her thighs across him.

They kissed as she sank onto his cock. Nathan took hold of her hips and helped her ride him. A fine sheen of sweat covered his chest and forehead.
He slid a little down the seat. Jeanie kissed along his hairline and smoothed his hair from his eyes. He thrust up into her and let her rhythm overtake him.

She
slowed down and grasped his hips. Her fingertips dug into his skin and her kiss stilled against his lips as she moaned.

He let go and came, pounding up into her as he
gripped her bottom, his head thrown back. They smiled and kissed each other as the sensations subsided, and they rested against each other’s forehead.

“This is unusual for me
, to say the least.”

Jeanie drew back from him and looked into his eyes.
“Me too. I’ve surprised myself, but I’m glad this happened. It felt great. It feels great.” She kissed the side of his mouth as she spoke.

Nathan hugged her close. “Yeah.” He
’d leave her soon. Leave her still wanting him, that was his intention.

“Where do you live, Jeanie, is it close?” He hoped she
was lulled into this spell of sex and closeness enough just to say it, to give him her address, and she did.

“It’s the last house in Drayton, on the main street
. Well, there is only one street. You must know it, if you drive to the city at all. It used to be the farmhouse, but all the agriculture stopped, and the land was sold off little by little. I couldn’t resist it when I saw it.”

H
e trailed his fingertips up and down her cheek, across her ear in a soothing motion. She inclined her head to his hand, and he kissed her as she finished talking. Meant to be only a kiss to seal her need for him, her sexy response filled his head and he moaned. His whole body dissolved in renewed lust, but he had a purpose. He mentally reminded himself of it.

“I think I need to let you go home now. I told Reed I was only going out for an hour. We were supposed to go round to friends
.” Nathan told the lie to cover for his sudden haste to leave.

He
lifted Jeanie off him and put her firmly away from his body. When he heard her little sigh of regret, he smiled. He opened the car door and went outside. Nathan found their clothes, and brought hers to where she knelt on the back seat of her car.
