I pulled her to me, “Stop looking at me like that, baby, or I’ll be forced to fuck you and I’m questioning my physical abilities right now. I may not be able to finish what I start.”
With a chuckle, Maebh placed her hands on the side of my face. “I bet we can think of something to do that won’t have you exerting too much energy.”
She quickly had my belt unbuckled and my pants undone. She was pulling them off my legs once I had toed off my boots.
“Commando?” she mused, looking up at me through those eyelashes.
When she licked her lips, I moaned and felt my cock growing harder by the second. She placed a soft kiss on the side of my cock and slowly stood. Taking my hands in hers, she walked toward the bed. Drawing the blankets down, she motioned for me to crawl into the bed. I did so while she took off her sexy, white lace outfit, leaving her thong and bra on.
“Why are you not naked?” I asked when she slipped in next to me.
“I want you, but I also want you to sleep. I need something between us right now.”
The low rumble in the back of my throat made her smile.
“Fucking hell, Maebh. If you’re that horny, baby, I can make you come.”
Shaking her head, she snuggled next to me. “No, I want to lie here with you. Please rest, Cord.”
My arm went around her, pulling her closer to me. It didn’t take me long to start to relax. The sound of her breathing quickly drew me toward a much-needed sleep.
And sleep I did.
“How are you feeling?” I asked Cord for the fourth time since we left the house.
“Better than I have in the last two weeks.”
He squeezed my hand, then lifted the back of it to his lips.
“I’m totally leaning over and kissing the stone,” Vi stated with a huge smile.
“Um, you should probably know, the local kids have been known to piss on the stone,” me da said.
Vi’s smile instantly faded. “What the hell? Those little Irish bastards!”
We all laughed, and I settled into Cord’s side. He had slept that first day for almost twelve hours. When he finally woke up, we spent the next four hours rotating from me bed to the shower, back to me bed. Sex with Cord was always good, but the last few days it had been amazing. Each time he came inside me, I fell even more in love with him. Me heart felt like it could explode I loved this man so much.
“What else would you like to see while you’re here in Ireland?” I asked.
Vi lifted her eyes in thought, and I felt Cord’s hand squeeze me hip. I knew exactly what he wanted to do, and it involved locking ourselves in me room all day.
“Honestly, I think I’d like to fish for some salmon,” Cord said with a smile.
Me father’s eyes lit up, and I couldn’t help but notice how he looked at Vi. They had an obvious connection. Was me da falling for Vi?
Me chest squeezed at the thought. A mix of emotions overcame me all at once. Happiness for him, that he had opened his heart again, and sadness knowing he was thinking of another woman like he thought of me ma.
“Are you okay?” Cord asked, his mouth pressed against me head.
“Yes,” I whispered. Vi and me da were lost in a conversation when Cord pulled back.
“Are you sure?”
Me eyes filled with tears, and I fought to keep them back as I softly answered him. “I’m happy, so very happy, but it seems like maybe another door is closing and I’m not sure how I feel about that.”
“He’ll always love your mom.”
I nodded. “I know.”
“He deserves to find happiness. This may just be a temporary thing. They obviously enjoy one another’s company.”
We looked back over to them as they laughed at something Vi had said.
“Yes, they do. And she makes him laugh. I don’t think I’ve heard me father laugh this much in a long time.”
The car came to a stop, and Cord stiffened at my side when Dalton, my father’s driver, announced our arrival at Blarney Castle.
“You excited to see it?” I asked as I looked back at Cord. He was pale and looked like he was about to be sick. He nodded quickly and turned away from me.
Shite. Maybe he’s getting sick again. He jumped out of the car and jogged around to get me door before Dalton could.
“After the castle tour, I’ve arranged for a lunch for the four of us,” Cord said, making me look up at him in surprise.
“Really?” I asked.
He was avoiding me eyes, and I swore he was sweating. Reaching up, I felt for a fever. Nothing. He felt normal.
“How in the world did you manage that?” I asked with a chuckle.
