Deacon
Wow what a night. Daisy is a dream, the way her body moved with mine, her insatiable appetite for sex she is a little firecracker. I thought my appetite was voracious but this girl, phew is all I can say. Her in the shower, pressed up against the wall, the water from the shower head running down her body, her budding nipples standing to attention and her legs wrapped around my waist. Damn. I shake my head. I am in so deep and yet it is way too soon isn't it? I mean I know about all this insta kind of shit from the books my sister had read and oh, okay I may have read a couple growing up too. The way Maxine used to blush at the spicy scenes, well let's just say they had me intrigued so hell yeah, I read a few paragraphs here and there. So, I'm a book naughty scene pervert guy, well at least I was as a hormonal teenager.
"Breakfast?" I ask my drowsy beauty who is coming out of her deep sleep. We slept spooned together last night and it felt like heaven having her in my arms. Although I was awake most of the night thinking about whether what I did was the right thing. How can anyone resist Daisy? She isn't a woman to be ignored and the sexual tension that has been building between us over the last year let alone more recently, came to the fore and I simply couldn't resist her anymore and now I know I am well over my head.
"You making it?" She asks, her blonde hair spilling all over the pillows propping her head up. She has the sheet down some and I can see her perfect, pert breasts. My morning wood is in over-drive but I need a rest, Daisy needs a rest, I'm betting she aches a bit this morning.
"Of course, Buttercup. What do you want?"
"Mm, I think some scrambled egg, toast and beans. I'm pretty sure that Sage has everything well stocked in the cabin."
"Your wish is my command, Lady." I bow and wave my arm like I've seen in the movies, it causes her to giggle. Even her giggle is sexy. Everything about this woman is sexy. But laying in the bed right now she looks so young and I can't help thinking what the fuck am I doing? An old man like me, okay not that old in my mid thirties but compared to Daisy ten years younger than me, I'd say that's old.
"I'll be down in a few minutes. Just want to brush my teeth and tie my hair up."
I give her a quick kiss on the head and inhale her minty shampoo from last night. I've never washed a woman's hair before, I've never showered with a woman before and having sex in the shower with Daisy was a first for me. I've always been a man who just likes the basics with a woman, I only ever needed to have the release and the women I've slept with, they were happy with that. Spending a whole night with a woman is a first for me. Already so many firsts with Daisy. It makes me grin.
Downstairs, Logan and Sage are sitting at the island with Eliza her husband, Sadie, Lottie and Ryle. "Good morning." Logan says. Do I feel awkward? You bet I do. He knows I've just slept with his sister, fuck I feel like a kid who has got caught stealing from the corner supermarket, red handed. My cheeks are burning. He raises his eyebrows with that look that says, don't forget if you hurt her you'll have me to deal with. And I know that last night, Daisy and I crossed a lot of lines. We've gone from friends to being lovers just like that.
Ryle places a mug in front of me as I take a seat, good, I need a nice strong coffee. "So, we were just saying that a hike would be good today." Sage says. I am grateful for her taking the heat off me even if Logan is still giving me a concerned look.
"Sounds good." I take a drink from my coffee. "I think I'll make some eggs and toast for Daisy and I." I stand up as Sage talks about the hike she has planned.
"You and Daisy joining us?" She asks.
"Sure, sounds good. I've not hiked for a while. Where are we going?"
"I'm thinking we could go to Bear Ridge, take a light lunch at the bar on top then head back down. We've got a dinner planned this evening at the Italian restaurant down in the town here."
"We'll meet you down here at the cabin when you're back from the hike." Eliza says. "My hiking days are over."
"Fair enough." Sage smiles kindly at Eliza. To be honest, I'd like to ravage Daisy some more but I also don't want to rush this, we need to take our time, we need to get to know each other properly.
Daisy enters the kitchen looking adorable in black leggings and a red sweater that hangs off one shoulder, she looks fresh and young. God, I feel old just looking at her. With rosy cheeks she goes and gives Sage a kiss on the cheek and hugs her brother. Logan looks surprised.
"Did you have fun last night?" Lottie asks causing Daisy to blush.
Logan coughs. "I don't need the details spare it for your girlie talks, thanks."
"Noted." Lottie shoots back. Daisy comes and pecks me on the cheek with her soft, warm lips. I pour her a coffee from the pot center of the table.
"What's on the agenda today then?" She asks as she squeezes my thigh when I sit down next to her, and runs her hand up the inside seam of my jeans. Jeez not here at the table, what is she trying to do to me today?
"Hiking." Sage replies. "Up to Bear Mountain, lunch up top then back down. Italian meal tonight. You up for it?"
"You bet I am. I love hiking." I get up, her touch is burning a hole in my jeans, my dick is on fire for her and it's all I can do to stop myself from taking her in my arms and carrying her right back to bed. I need to slow things down between us.
I make our eggs and some toast and we all sit around eating and chatting about the day, Sage tells us she is about done with all the wedding plans and Logan claps. "Finally. I cannot wait to call you my wife." Oh, these two so romantic. His eyes shine with happiness as he looks at her. Daisy gives me a look and I almost choke on my coffee. I mean, we crossed the line but hold on a second, we have a lot to talk about right now and we need to take it a day at a time.
More than anything, I sure as hell need to get my head round this whole age gap thing. When I am nearly fifty she will still be young. It scares the effing hell out of me if I am honest.
"Don't get any ideas just yet, Buttercup. We have to take this whatever it is slowly." I whisper into her ear. She comes closer to me so our lips are almost touching.
"Can you guys please not do that in front of me." Logan blurts out. Daisy chuckles and I go beetroot. She has no filter or limits this girl, none whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, I love that about Daisy, her naturalness, her confidence but I am not used to it and kissing in front of Logan and everyone else, it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Daisy flicks her hair over her shoulder, "sure we can talk, Deacon but ain't anything you can say to me that will change my mind. I already told you how I felt last night." She eats her breakfast like this isn't anything monumental. Only to me it is, it's a huge big deal. Am I ready for a relationship? Am I ready to go both feet into this?
My heart feels ready I know that much. God, I am so nervous and scared. What if I fuck this all up? What if I am not the man she needs in her life? What if I can't be Daisy's everything?
