Chereads / Kynlee’s Desperation / Chapter 69 - Chapter 68- Nothing We Can Do Tonight

Chapter 69 - Chapter 68- Nothing We Can Do Tonight

I explained the gist of the issues with Dr. Adams but kept the nasty names to myself. The green eyed monster was strong in Kelly Adams, and Kynlee didn't need to hear her disparaging comments. None of it was true anyway!

Well none of it except the fact I was attracted to Kynlee the first time I met her. That day when her brother coded, I figured it was simply her beauty that called to me. Now I knew it was just as much or not more, her soul. I vowed to myself to do everything possible to make this work between us. Dr. Adams could just go to hell.

I said, "agreed," and ran around the SUV and opened Kynlee's door. She was right in that there was little to nothing we could do about our situation tonight, so we might as well enjoy our time together.

Hand in hand we walked inside the cabin. Sammy came running to greet us, "rooowww," she meowed. Lee dropped down on her haunches, all but forgetting I was present. No wonder Sammy liked her so much.

Lee scratched under the Siamese's chin and the purring became so loud, I couldn't help but smile and shake my head. "You spoil her," I laughed.

"Of course. Isn't that why people have pets? To give them love and affection?" I shrugged. I guess I hadn't thought about it when I rescued Sam. I simply figured I would give her a home, but I did give her love and affection. A lot of love and affection.

"Most animals will give you unconditional love in return. I'd say you've got that in spades where Sammy is concerned." Sammy rubbed against Lee's legs before flopping down on the floor in front of her and rolling on her back. Kynlee laughed and stroked Sammy's fur, being careful not to touch her stomach. "You're such a pretty girl Sammy. Your fur is so soft and shiny," Lee cooed to the cat.

As if she understood what Kynlee said, Sammy replied with, "purrrrrt," as she moved her body to get the best pets and scratches in just the right spots. It made me happy to see the two of them had bonded since I cared about them both.

"Are you hungry Lee? We never did eat supper," I remembered out loud.

"Maybe a little, but not extremely. Do you want me to whip something up quick Wam?" She offered.

"Is a pizza okay? I can throw one on the Pizzazz," I said.

"Pizza sounds great. Thank you," Lee replied with a smile as she met my gaze from her spot on the floor. She stood then and said, "I'm going to go get some pajamas on while you start the pizza. I'll meet you back here afterwards." Lee leaned up and kissed my cheek before running up the steps.

I had all I could do to keep from pulling her body against mine and kissing her again. Of course, another kiss like the last and we likely wouldn't eat anytime soon. I swear I felt like a horny teenager again. I simply couldn't get enough of Lee. I hope she felt the same, or I wasn't sure my heart would recover from this one.

Sammy sat up and looked at me. "Well Sammy, let's go find a pizza, shall we?" I walked into the kitchen and found several pizzas in the freezer. It then dawned on me I wasn't sure which Kynlee would prefer and I should ask her. I walked upstairs but as I was about to knock on her door, I heard talking. Rather than interrupting her phone call, I figured I'd just pick a pizza. I placed a deluxe, rising crust pizza on the Pizzazz and let it cook.

Looking at Sammy as I dried my hands, I said, "I'm going to go change. You keep an eye on the pizza okay?"

"Rooowww," was Sammy's answer. She sat by her empty food dish, looking around, and twitching her tail. Sometimes I swear animals understand way more than humans give them credit for.

After putting on sweatpants and a tee shirt, I returned to the kitchen. The Pizzazz timer was just about to go "ding," so I shut it off. As I began to cut the pizza with the pizza cutter, I heard the dryer start and then Kynlee entered from the laundry room.

"Great timing," I praised with a wide smile. "I was going to ask what kind of pizza you like, but you were on the phone, so I didn't want to disturb you. I hope you like deluxe pizza?"

Lee returned my smile, "of course. How many times do I have to tell you I'm not a picky eater?" She pushed my shoulder playfully. "I didn't get these hips from eating like a bird."

I did not like the disparaging commment that came out of her mouth, so I set down the pizza cutter, turned toward her, and put my hands on her hips. Gazing into her milk chocolate colored eyes, I said, "I happen to love your curves. You are beautiful inside and out Kynlee Knutson," and I lowered my lips to hers. The kiss started out gentle but soon became passionate. Lee's hands slid up my chest slowly and encircled my neck, playing with my hair. She tilted her head slightly and deepened the kiss.

By the time I pulled back, we were both breathing heavily. Kynlee's cheeks were rosy and my eyes were fixed on her beautiful chest, rising and falling quickly. "I love kissing you and holding you. You've brought so much to my life Lee. It's hard to remember now, what it was like before I met you."

Kynlee seemed to find something interesting on my tee shirt as she was staring at my chest as well. Anytime I talked about my feelings, she appeared uncomfortable, like she wasn't sure how to respond. Finally she answered in a quiet voice, "thank you Wam. I enjoy our time together too. It makes me sad that Dr. Adams is trying to ruin what we have," she sighed.

"Me too beautiful, me too." I released her with a kiss on the forehead and turned back to finish cutting the pizza. "We better eat before it gets cold."

After eating, we watched a rom com on television as we cuddled on the couch. It took all I had not to ravish her right there on the couch, but I would not make this merely a physical relationship. I had to think of what was best in the long term.

When the movie ended, Lee seemed deep in thought, so I asked, "hey, you okay?" I shook the hand I had been holding slightly to get her attention as I spoke.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Just tired. You ready for bed, or is there other things you wanted to do first?"

"No, I'm ready for bed," I replied. "Unfortunately I have to return to Red Wing tomorrow afternoon, so I suppose we should get some sleep." I hoped but didn't want to assume she would sleep in my bed again, so it was best to ask. "Will you sleep with me tonight please, so I can hold you?"

Lee nodded with a smile, "I'd like that."

Hearing her answer made my heart feel lighter. I checked the doors were locked and the lights were shut off for the night.

It felt so normal as I stood next to her at the sink as we brushed our teeth together. We took turns relieving ourselves and washing up before crawling into bed. I laid on my back and pulled Lee against my side, with her head resting on my chest. Her arm laid across my stomach and I wrapped my arm behind her back to rest on her hip. I really did love her hips and behind. My free hand stroked Lee's long, thick hair as I said, "good night beautiful. Sweet dreams."

"Good night Wam. Thank you for today. I have a good time."

"It was my pleasure," I replied in a husky voice before we both drifted off to sleep.
