door. By the time he returned to the kitchen, Lynn was cracking eggs into a bowl.
Smiling, he pushed the large stainless-steel refrigerator in place, then worked on hooking up the water line for her icemaker. “This here is one of our most popular models,” he said trying to talk about anything to take his mind off of what he hoped to be doing after breakfast.
“I’m just glad to get it. I was tired of buying ice.”
He followed the direction of her eyes to a small blue cooler over in the corner and laughed. “Give it a few hours and this one will be making plenty of ice cubes.”
She nodded, biting her bottom lip and he started having erotic thoughts of something else she could be doing with that lush mouth of hers. Still with an erection, Ashton was starting to think the zipper of his jeans was going to leave a permanent tattoo on his cock.
While he plugged up the refrigerator and ensured everything was running properly, he continued to watch Lynn, admiring her tone thighs and shapely calves. She whisked the egg mixture briskly, then poured it into a skillet sizzling with butter.
While waiting, she leaned against the counter, tapping a long painted fingernail on her cheek. “How long have you known Mackenzie?”
“More years than I can remember,” he murmured. “She even dated my brother for a spell in high school.”
“So how long have you worked for Kilmer Appliances?” She flashed him a curious look, her delicate brows drawing together.
While installing the water filter, Ashton went on to explain. “My grandfather was David Kilmer. He opened that store back in nineteen-fifty.”
“Wow! Really?” she said as she scrambled the eggs with a plastic spatula. “So the guy who helped me must have been your brother.” It was more like a question.
Ashton nodded. “Yep, that’s my older brother Roy.”
Kaelyn looked up from the stove, tilted her head, considering him. “Now that you say it, I do see a family resemblance.” She smiled and he noticed a hint of a dimple at her right cheek. Again, there was that intense stir at his chest and loins.
While she cooked, he studied her, bending over the stove with her beautiful curvaceous ass on full display. And in that moment, Ashton knew he had to have her. In his life. In his bed. Having sex. Making love. She was going to be his.
He wanted more. He wanted her.
“Did my brother show you how to operate your new refrigerator?”
Eggs done, Lynn carried the skillet over to the counter and poured the eggs onto a plate. “Somewhat, but I wouldn’t mind you demonstrating again.” There was a glint of amusement in her eyes.
She put the skillet in the sink, then came over and stood beside him and his belly rolled. Immediately her sweet scent ruffled his nose.
“This is your ice dispenser… you press the button here, depending on if you want regular or crushed ice.”
“Uh-huh…”
Leaning in closer, her breast brushed against his arm and sent a jolt to his cock. He had felt a nipple, confirming she wasn’t wearing a bra. Ashton knew he should have moved, but he didn’t budge. Instead, he held his breath, captivated. While Lynn opened doors and dragged out the bottom freezer drawer like a child with a new toy, he took the opportunity to study her profile. Lynn wore no make-up and with her face only inches from his, his lips ached to taste that slender throat of hers. The excitement heating in her eyes alone was enough to send a spasm through his chest, deep into his stomach. What would she be like in bed? His bed . Would she stare at him with those big eyes, screaming his name in pleasure with her legs draped over his shoulders or would they glaze over while his thumb trailed around her swollen clit? It took everything he had in him to resist the urge to drag her into his arms and intentionally touch her in a whole lotta other places.
“Ashton Ray Kilmer, I must say, you have made my day,” he heard her say.
Ashton looked to see her head
