She sipped her beer, grimacing at the taste. Why she even went out with the guy, she didn’t know other than she didn’t want to spend another Saturday night off, sitting at home watching reruns of Will and Grace. She glanced toward where he sat reclining against a hay bale with a long-neck beer between his fingers in one hand and a cigarette clutched between his teeth. Her fingers itched to run through those strands.Ī slight shift in her stance relieved some of the pressure on her clit, just not enough to satisfy the ache building. Dark, thick hair hung to his collar with a slight wave.
