Free Darden's Pursuit of Happiness: Darden and Willow by LiSoya Gilltin Page A

immediately turned away from the two chairs imagining how many women sat in those chairs with Darden. As if reading her mind, “All the furniture in the house is brand new, including the bedding.  I would never ask you to share my house or my bed with me that I shared with someone else. I love you too much for that to happen.”
                  Darden looked steadily into her eyes.  He wanted to make sure she understood his full meaning to that.  He wanted her to know he wanted to start new.  No other woman had been here. He had parts of the condo decorated with her in mind.  He had remembered the breakfasts in Plattsburgh. He had taught her how to cook. At first it was simple fare but she learned quickly and could apply what she had learned to other things. Then she learned how to cook noon meals and more elaborate dinners.  He knew even then she was the right women to become his wife. She had become proficient at cheesecake baking and pie crust making.  Making the pie crust helped her make savory quiches.  She learned about consistency and was able to fix recipes with improper measurements. Although she enjoyed cooking she never intended to go to culinary school. He had the kitchen set-up just as it was in Plattsburgh with all the gadgets she loved. . . Those hands that would knead the dough did a wonderful job in massaging his back when it was sore from a workout. He could just imagine her fingers wrapped around something else and massaging . . . He needed to snap out of it.
                  “What were you just thinking?”
                  “I was just thinking about how glad I am you are here with me.”
                  “No you weren’t, you had a devilish grin on your face.”
                  “Okay, you got me, I was thinking if I could convince you to make one of your delicious quiches.  They were always so good.  Your pie crust was always just the right consistency, was light but crunchy.  I have always loved it.” Just like, I have always loved your soft curves.  Those slightly pouty lips that, I could kiss from sun up to sundown. We have to get out of the room. The way she is looking at me is making me hard. Darden reached for her hand and the next thing he knew he was taking her mouth like a man who hasn’t eaten in four days. His hands were roaming all over her.  Up and down her sides on to her back and over the delicious curve of her ass.  He gently cupped her bottom and brought her to a tighter fit against him. He wanted every part of her that could touch every part of him.  Darden wanted Willow to know just what she was doing to him.
                  Willow practically melted into him. She loved being kissed by him.  She felt so comfortable with him.  She wanted to be able to give more to him than just kisses. Willow broke the kiss and whispered against his lips, “I want more.” Darden resumed hissing her giving her what he thought she meant. Sweeping her mouth with his tongue and tracing that sensitive area just behind her front teeth.  Her legs almost gave way and instinctively he scooped her up into his arms and placed her on the bed. Darden backed away a few steps. He was breathing hard just as if he had run a half marathon over uneven and treacherous terrain. “Darden I want you to make love to me.”  Darden shook his head.  He couldn’t process what she wanted from him.  She opened her arms to him and he was drawn like a magnet. He placed one knee on the bed but still all he could do was stare at her.
                  “Are you sure that is what you want?” God, I hope to hell so, I am about to embarrass myself by coming in my pants. “I am willing to wait.” I want to do the right thing.  Right now, dammit, what will feel the most right is making love to her,   “Please make sure this is your decision, I don’t want you to feel like I am rushing you with the kisses? I can assure
