Twisted

Part 5

Mia and Carson arrived back home after their afternoon visit.  Emily had worn Carson out and he was sleeping like a rock while Mia logged into her email and responded so her friends' emails.  She realized that she was nervous! Sam was staying in the house tonight.  She felt slightly bad at misleading him but really felt that he might not take her up on it if she hadn't played the damsel in distress.  Men were so stubborn sometimes.

She was cleaning up after herself when she heard a knock on the door and found Gavin on the other side.

"Did you talk to Sam?" He asked.

"Yeah and he agreed actually." She said and laughed when he looked at her dumbstruck.

"Well, I may have said that I was a bit scared being in the house all by myself at night." It was Gavin's turn to laugh and shake his head.

"Alright, I just wanted to check in on you.  Glad you could talk him around and your secret is safe with me."  He turned around and waved heading to the bunkhouse.  Just about that time she saw some headlights coming up the drive and she instantly knew it was Sam. All of a sudden she didn't know what to do with herself and she felt really silly!

"Ma'am." he said when he came upon her standing on the porch.   "I heard you have a room to rent?" She laughed and opened the screendoor.  He held it open for her to go in and followed her. 

"Are you sure about this MIa? Ive had some time to think and I know you said you didn't like being by yourself but really we are just a stones throw away from the house.  Of course, I will always behave like a gentleman but thought I would give you a chance to back out if you like."

"Sam, I know you have been sleeping in your truck and I wont have it!" She said, stomping her foot without realizing it.  "I've already cleaned up a room and gotten it ready so don't make me mad by refusing now, got it?" She decided that she would take charge for the moment.

"Wow, OK.  Yes ma'am! Let me get my overnight bad and you can show me my room.  Ive a hankering for a hot shower and hitting the sack, I'm beat." Her heart melted a little bit because she knew how hard they were all pushing themselves. She took the time to settle Carson in his crib and turn on the baby monitor.  She met Sam back downstairs as he came in with a leather overnight bag.   She kind of thought she sensed he was nervous as well.  Hmm.  Something to think about.  Poor guy probably thought she would pounce on him.  Although she wanted to she decided it could wait.  It did make her smile though.  She took his hand and led him upstairs.  When they hit the landing she attempted to pull her hand out but he wouldn't let her. Instead, he tugged her to him and kissed her again.  Then he spun her around and said,

"Where to woman." As if nothing in the world was amiss.  She pulled him to the bedroom she had  prepared and she flipped on the light.  Looking up at him she awaited his response to the bedroom.

"Well, what do you think? Will it work?" She asked.

"It has a bed and that's all I need really." He said jokingly. 

She proceeded to show him the bathroom and urged him to help himself.

"Oh, I sure will." He said and again tugged her back to him and kissed her again.  This time it was deeper and more thorough.  She felt it tingle all the way to her toes  Her hunger for this man was growing every minute.  A wail broke them apart and Mia smiled sheepishly up at him.

"Duty calls."  She gave him one more peck and rushed out to go get Carson.  She heard him chuckling all the way down the hall.  Joke was on her though because she had changed and fed Carson and was rocking him in his glider chair in the nursery when Sam came out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. He was walking from the bathroom to his appointed room and had to pass them.  He made it about a foot past the room and stepped back to look at them.  He leaned into the doorframe with an arm up over his head.
