Free Cree (My Way Series - Book 1) (Volume 1) by H.J. Bellus

for his morning coffee like clockwork. Annie has now started taking dance classes, so our afternoon soda dates have been cancelled. Cree no longer drives up to the window for his coffee in the morning, he comes in to pick it up.
    One morning Cree was harassing me about how easy my job was, so I challenged him to make me a cup of coffee. Cree gladly accepted my challenge.
    “Want to make this interesting?” Cree asked.
    “Why yes I do. What do you have in mind, Captain?”
    “If I win, you have to cook Thanksgiving dinner. If you win, I’ll cook Thanksgiving dinner.”
    “Wow! Pretty sure of yourself, hey? Who said I’ll be in town?”
    “Want to shake on it, Dolly?”
    I put out my hand to shake Cree’s hand to seal the fate of our bet, and he swiftly pulled me into a full-fledged kiss. Oh, he was a sneaky little pirate! We have kissed on the lips in a quick pecking fashion several times. We hadn’t yet sucked face, mainly due to the lack of privacy in our life. His lips tasted like heaven on mine. My body melted against his and I was instantly lost in him.
    I could feel his tongue lurking up and down my lips, so I opened my mouth, letting him in. His tongue explored my mouth with gentle ease. Without thinking, I let out a low moan of approval. I came up for breath in the nick of time, when Iris pulled up to the drive-thru window for her daily cup of Sunshine Mocha. I was extra giggly making her order. Cree leaned back on the counter, crossed his legs at the ankles and folded his arm across his chest to watch me work. He was quite the distraction, and he knew it.
    Once Iris left the drive-thru, Cree twisted his ball cap so that it sat backwards. He was ready for the challenge. I wanted him to make me a Blended Heaven White Chocolate Mocha. With no instructions, I urged him to get going. I tapped my fingers while he worked away. I was shocked when he actually drizzled the cup with caramel. He had me nervous for a second. The blender was the end of Cree’s short-lived victory. The blender made Cree its bitch. He didn’t snap the lid all the way down, and instead of drinking a Blended Heaven, we wore one.
    “Guess I’m cooking you dinner this year.”
    “Looks like it. Can Lacey come with?”
    “Of course!”
    He moved in closer and bent down to lick the iced coffee off of my neck. He ran his tongue up and down my skin, stopping to suck on a few spots. I arched my head to the side, allowing him easier access. When he lifted his head up, I noticed a chunk of iced coffee on his bottom lip, so I leaned forward and sucked on it. I then followed suit, licking up and down his neck.
    “You might have made a mess, but it tastes damn good, Cree!”
    I leaned up on my tiptoes to taste the coffee on his jaw line, making sure to scrape my teeth across his flesh.
    “Best coffee ever,” I whispered in his ear, then sucked hard on his lobe.
    He grabbed my waist and pushed his hardened man part into my belly. I threw my head back and moaned loudly. I ran my hand down his belly and stopped at his hard erection, rubbed it roughly through his jeans. He growled through a clenched jaw as he watched me move my hand over him. Right when I wanted to strip down bare and let him take me then and there, his cell phone rang. He instantly grabbed it and looked at his caller ID.
    “Worst. Fucking. Timing. Ever! It’s Shawn on the farm. I have to take it, Dolly.”
    I grinned and shook my head up and down. It was probably a good thing we put the brakes on this. I wouldn’t want to be caught having sex in the middle of my shop. He reached down, gave my lips one last lick and then kissed me. He mouthed I will text you as he walked out of the shop covered in coffee, with his trucker hat on backwards.
     
    Me: Thanks for the coffee this morning
    Cree: Thanks for letting me have a taste of your coffee
    Me: Anytime Captain!
    Cree: God! I want you…
    Me: Wow! Where did that come from?
    Cree: I’ve wanted you since the first day I laid eyes on
