Her Apple Delight (Man Card Book 10)

by Terra Kelly

  “Avoiding you? What the hell are you talking about?” He wasn’t making any sense. We had spent most of our time together in the last few months. In the evenings after my parents went to bed we stayed cuddled together on the couch in the living room making out.

  He reached for my hand. “Autumn, do you know how much I love you?”

  “I can ballpark it.” I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his waist.

  “Then I need to ask you something. Why won’t you have sex with me?”

  I dropped my hands and stepped back. “What?”

  “I think that’s the last thing that’s holding us back from truly being okay.”

  “Sex should not be the deciding factor whether our relationship is going to survive or not.”

  I thought about the conversation. We did make-out a lot. Whenever Liam tried to move it to the next level I stopped and called it a night. It didn’t really cross my mind as a big deal until now.

  “No, it shouldn’t, but pushing me away is a problem we need to face.”

  I still lived in the main house with my parents. It was just easier staying in their house and walking to the barn to work every day. Right now though, I was regretting my current living situation. I let out a heavy sigh before responding. “How are we supposed to get intimate with my parents down the hall?” It was silly but there was no way I wanted to do anything within earshot of my parents.

  He laughed lightly. “Is that why we haven’t been together?”

  I walked over and sat down on an old rickety rocking chair. “There is nothing sexy about getting busy in your childhood bedroom.”

  Liam dropped to his knee in front of me. “Move in with me.”

  “You live in a loft above my dad’s shop.”

  “Yeah, so?”

  “It’s only eight hundred square feet.”

  “Okay?”

  “Is that enough space for us?”

  He burst out laughing. “Do you really think we’ll use two-thirds of the space?”

  I placed my palms on his cheeks. “Liam Hicks.” I slid my hands back and laced them behind his neck. “What am I going to do with you?”

  “Love me forever.”

  I stopped moving and my smile fell. His words caught me off guard. “Say that again.”

  “Autumn, I just want you to love me forever.”

  I lunged forward and pushed his body back onto the ground. “Do you promise to never leave me?” I straddled his body and leaned up.

  “Never again.” He chuckled and combed his fingers through my hair. “You’re stuck with me.” He was sporting that heart-stopping smile that made my body sing for more.

  “Get a room you two.” Jesse yelled from the backdoor of the kitchen.

  “Just don’t watch,” I yelled back to my brother. He laughed and closed the door.

  For the first time in a very long time I felt happy. The last three months were cleansing. We worked hard to let go of the negatives. Liam was even working on the broken relationship between him and his parents. His dad was now saying a couple of words to him, which was an improvement from the silent treatment he’d received when he first came home. He made it clear to his parents that the farm was where he wanted to be. I was so proud of Liam the moment he told his dad that he didn’t want the same things for a career. Liam had worked so hard pleasing everyone else his entire life, he forgot how to be fully happy. It took me a few weeks to realize how unhappy Liam truly was before he left for college. Well, he admitted the only time he was content was in my arms. Knowing that changed everything for me. This man was my apple delight and I didn’t plan to ever let him leave again.

  I helped him up and found myself staring into his whiskey colored eyes. “What are you thinking?” he asked as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

  “I guess I didn’t even realize we haven’t had sex yet.”

  “We had to worry about a few other things first.”

  I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his waist. “Did I start things every night and then leave you with blue balls?”

  “There she is, my sassy, Autumn.” He burst out laughing and started to tickle my sides.

  “I missed this,” I admitted.

  He went serious. “Me, too. I’m ready to take our relationship to the next level and leave everything behind us.”

  “In your loft though.” I rested my hands on his chest. “There is no way I’m having sex in my parents’ house.” The thought made me gross out. “Ew, that is just wrong on so many levels.” I shook my head at the thought.

  Liam laughed and nuzzled his nose into the crook of my neck. “Your dad is not in the shop all that much. We would have a lot of alone time.”

  “Oh yeah,” I pushed my body against him and could feel the outline of his erection.

  “Autumn, I want you right now.” He slid his hands down and squeezed my ass cheeks.

  I glanced around and realized we were giving quite the show. “Then what are we doing still standing here?”

  Liam

  “It’s a little messy.” I stepped through the door of the loft and bent down to pick up a shirt on the floor. “Pretend you can’t see all the stuff on the floor.”

  “What stuff?” She giggled and lunged forward to wrap her arms around my waist.

  “Exactly.” I lifted my arms and turned to face Autumn to pull her body closer.

  It was crazy how quickly my life changed the moment I was back where I belonged. For so long I thought going to college and getting a specific career was more important. Turns out my happiness was priority. That meant being with Autumn.

  “Well, we’ll add a few deadbolts to ensure we have a little bit of privacy,” she winked.

  I fisted my hands around the edges of her sweatshirt. “Can I say what I’m really thinking right now?”

  She turned her head to the side and smiled. “Of course. You have me curious.”

  “I have thought about fucking you for two months.” I bent down and captured her lips.

  She pulled back. “Two months? But you’ve been home for three.”

  “Well, in my defense the first month was touch and go.” I rocked our bodies side to side. “Then you let me kiss you in the evening and I just wanted to devour your pussy.”

  “Liam,” she gasped. “You didn’t just say that did you?”

  “Too soon for that?” I shrugged my shoulders.

  Autumn pushed my hands away and lifted her shirt up over head. “Actually, it’s perfect.” She placed her palm on the center of my chest and pushed me back. “You better be prepared for this romp.”

  “Oh, I’m ready.” I started to unbutton my shirt.

  “Then that means you have condoms in this tiny place somewhere, right?” She glanced around the room.

  I slapped my hand over my forehead. “Oh shit.”

  She grabbed my wrist and pulled it down. “You better be fucking with me?”

  I reluctantly let her go and walked over to my dresser and pulled open the top drawer. “Well, I don’t have a lot, but there are a few.”

  She surprised me by doing a running jump onto my back. “A few is more than one, so we can continue.”

  “Did I unleash the beast the moment I told you how I was feeling?” I grabbed her hands and brought them to my lips.

  “What do you mean?” She dropped her chin onto my shoulder.

  “I just missed this. Us. Together.” I walked over to the bed and turned to let her fall onto the mattress. “We used to have so much fun together.” Autumn was laying in the middle of the bed with her arms out to the side. “You take my breath away, Autumn Appleton.” I knelt down and ran my hands up her thighs.

  “I missed being with you, too.” She leaned up onto her elbows. “It’s weird, until you said something I had erased it from my mind.” She grabbed my hand. “Let me clarify. We needed to work on us first; sex had to wait.”

  “You’re better than me.” I winked, then started to
unbutton and unzip her jeans. “My mind always went back to the last night we were together. How you made me feel.”

  She lifted her legs to help me as I slid her pants down. “How did I make you feel?”

  “Like I was making the biggest mistake leaving you.”

  Autumn sat up and placed her hands on either side of my face. “Let that go. We’re back together.” She reached back and unhooked her bra. “It’s time to create new memories and let go of the old ones.”

  I pulled her bra off and cupped my hands around her breasts. “New memories. I’m all in.”

  “Good,” she said and dropped back onto the bed. “So what was it you wanted to do to my pussy.” She giggled and moved her legs further apart.

  I could only moan the moment she offered what I craved. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?”

  She fisted her hands in the comforter and pushed her head back. “Liam.”

  When Autumn said my name in a stern way, I knew she was being serious. I stared at her for a moment and took in a deep breath to catch her scent. Finally, I dropped my head and dragged my tongue up the inside of her leg. I loved doing this and Autumn knew that. “Baby, we may have to cut this short to tend to a few things.”

  “We have all night.” She fisted her hands in my hair.

  I moved closer and smiled. God she was beautiful. Then I dragged my tongue up and down her slick heat and pulled back. “Still delicious.” She pushed my head back down. “And still needy I see.” I began to devour every inch of her sweet pussy. It was almost as if I couldn’t get enough. I began to nip and suck hard on her clit. Autumn fisted her hands in my hair and forced me to lift my head. “Are you okay?” I wiped my mouth and lightly kissed the inside of her thighs.

  “Liam, I came twice.” She giggled. “I need a short break.”

  “A break? We don’t have time for breaks.” I stood to pull my pants and boxers off. “I plan to do that a few more times tonight.”

  “You can do it all you want after I get a taste of you.” She hopped off the bed and dropped to her knees to wrap her fingers tightly around my cock. “We really do have a lot of pent up desire.”

  I combed my fingers through her hair. “Four years to be exact.” Autumn never took her eyes off me as she leaned forward and wrapped her lips around me. “Fuck.” I ground out as she moved her head in and out. In the past, we had this habit of ignoring the others pleas during sex. We loved to torture each other in only the best way.

  The way Autumn was sucking on the tip of my cock, I could feel the start of my orgasm. “Baby, I’m almost there.” She began to suck harder causing me to come faster than I expected. Just like I thought, she didn’t stop moving her mouth in and out. I honestly thought my erection would fall but with the way she was moving in and out it stayed at full attention.

  My legs were starting to shake and I needed to sit down. She must’ve noticed by how my body was shaking because she wrapped her arms around my ass and helped me moved to the bed. The girl had skill because she never missed a beat during the move. The moment I fell onto the mattress she settled her body in between my legs and glanced up at me. I could feel the onset of another orgasm. I let my body fall back and spread my arms out to the side ready for the second orgasm of the evening.

  “Autumn,” I cried out. “Fuck, Autumn.” I ran my fingers into her hair and tried to pull her up. I honestly thought she would ignore me and keep going. Thankfully she stopped. My cock needed a break.

  She moaned and climbed up my body. “That was fun.” She nestled in beside me and leaned up to kiss me. “That was just the appetizer course.”

  “Oh yeah, we have a lot more where that came from.” I kissed her forehead.

  I didn’t plan to fall asleep, but the woman wore my ass out. When a loud knock woke me up, I sat up. “Hold on,” I yelled.

  “Wait, Liam, let me get dressed.” She scrambled around and finally grabbed one of my blue jean button down shirts laying on the floor.

  I knew who it was before I answered the door. “Zinger,” I swung the door open. “Everything okay?”

  “I heard yelling and wanted to make sure you were okay.” I watched as his eyes moved over to where Autumn was leaning against the wall. “Oh,” he winked. “I see.”

  “Hi, Dad.” Autumn said in a really low voice.

  “You know, you can’t be too careful.” He was chuckling as he walked back down the steps.

  I closed the door and leaned my back against the wood surface. “We need to find a different place.”

  Autumn was removing her shirt as she walked toward me. “I thought you said he wasn’t here much?”

  “He’s not.” I grabbed her hand and tugged her against my body. “You need to be quiet next time.”

  “Me?” She yelled a little too loudly.

  “It was the both of you.” We heard from the other side of the door.

  “We need to get a hotel.” I dropped my head onto her shoulder. “Wait, didn’t your brother talk about building a house on the edge of the property?”

  “Yeah, he also said there was only room for one home.” She laced her fingers around the waistband of my sweatpants and slid them down over my hips. “Liam,” she whispered beside my ear.

  “Yes,” I groaned and finally glanced up at her.

  “Just shut up and fuck me.” She was trying to hold in a smile but failed miserably. I bent down and grabbed her around her waist and threw her up over my shoulder. “Shit, Liam, where are you taking me?”

  “Here,” I said and threw her on the bed. “We need to dive into the main course.”

  “Yeah, you done with your appetizer already?”

  “Fuck yeah, I need to be inside your beautiful pussy,” I said and peppered light kisses on her stomach.

  “Well stop talking about it then and get to it, Mister.”

  “So demanding,” I climbed up her body and pushed her legs open with my knee.

  “Wait, condom.”

  I reached forward and grabbed one sitting on the edge of the nightstand. “You want the honors?” He held it up.

  It was like nothing had ever happened. I wondered if we would find it awkward after having a break but instead we both just resumed how we always were. Autumn loved to be silly and I enjoyed teasing her. That didn’t change.

  Sex with Autumn was still addicting.

  She was my past, present, and future.

  Seven

  Autumn

  “Mine,” I grabbed the foil package and carefully ripped off the top.

  “Greedy little thing, aren’t you?” He bent and kissed me. I was distracted by his lips and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Autumn,” he mumbled. “Stop.” He kissed me. “Getting.” He kissed me again. “Distracted.” He kissed me for the last time and then rolled over to give me better access.

  “Are you trying to tell me something?” I leaned up and took the condom out.

  “Yeah, put the damn thing on.”

  Just like all those years ago, we had fun during sex. “Like this.” I slowly slid it up his gorgeous length. “I need to go on the pill so we can get rid of this barrier.”

  “You’d do that?” He looked surprised.

  “Of course I would.” I threw my leg over his body to straddle him. Then reached down in between us to place him at my entrance. The moment his cock touched my core I sucked in a breath. I wanted more. It was hard to move slow when all I wanted to do was ride him fast and hard.

  “Autumn, baby, we have all night.” He rubbed his hands over my ass.

  “I know but it’s been so long.” I closed my eyes and forced myself to slow it down.

  He felt so good. We moved in and out together never missing a beat. I knew it wouldn’t take me long. The moment I felt Liam inside me, my body reacted.

  “I’m almost there,” Liam said and forced me closer so he could kiss me. With our lips still touching. “Oh fuck, Autumn. You feel so damn good.”

  “So good,” I whispered and nuzzled
into his neck. We moved only a few more times before I cried out my release. Liam followed behind yelling my name at the top of his lungs. I fell into his arms and tangled our bodies together. “Who’s the loud one now?” I teased.

  “I may need to work on how to be quiet.”

  “May?” I burst out laughing. “I think you do.”

  “Hey, I didn’t hear any complaints.”

  There was banging on the floor. Then my dad yelled, “I’m trying to work. Could you keep it down up there?”

  I buried my head against his chest. “Oh my shit, we need to leave the country for good.”

  “Has your dad always been like this?” He bent his head and left a trail of kisses down my arm.

  “This is nothing compared to what he used to do to Jesse.”

  Liam lifted his head. “Oh crap, what did he do?”

  “He made Jesse and the mystery woman dinner one night.” I paused for a beat. “In bed.”

  “Shut the door, he did not?”

  I sat up and leaned my back against the wall. “Yup, he did. Jesse hates to talk about it.”

  “So I need to bring it up later?”

  “Yup.” We both burst out laughing and fell against each other.

  If all we needed was sex to push our relationship over the last hurdle; I was regretting waiting so long.

  One week later…

  “Here,” I handed my dad a sheet of paper.

  “What’s this?” He took it from my outstretched hands.

  “Your new shop hours.”

  He started to chuckle. “You’re telling me when I can use my shop.” Dad walked over to a metal lawn chair in the corner of the room and sat down. “What about if you just tell me when to leave.”

  I paused for a second contemplating the option. Then I realized that was a very bad decision. “Um, hell no. Then you’ll know every time we’re having sex.”

  “I’m going to know either way with this.” He waved the sheet of paper back and forth, still laughing.

  “You suck.” I sat down beside him.
