Holiday Hearts Chapter 83
When Noel and Shelby called to invite him over for dinner, he begged off. Yes, he had to leave the house for shopping and to walk the puppy, but that was it, the limit of the time he was willing to spend away from Evie. He hummed a sultry jazz number as he drove to the store.Tonight he had forty-five whole minutes with a solid Evie.Though he enjoyed talking to her during the day, he was rapidly becoming addicted to being able to touch her at night. And tonight he had three-quarters of an hour to show her something new and exciting.He didn't intend to take her, it wasn't enough time for her first experience, but he did plan to make her come - hopefully more than once. His cock pulsed at the thought. Oh yeah, tonight Sam was going to make Evie scream, using his hands instead of her own.He ducked into a specialty store on his way to the grocery. One night this week he was going to introduce Evie to toys. He was so aroused at the thought, he had to sit and wait in the parking lot f

Sam kissed his way down Evie's throat, pausing to suck at the graceful curve where her neck and shoulder met. He'd discovered in their brief session last night that she was sensitive there, so he lingered, arousing her to the point where her hands dug into his shoulders and her hips bucked against his. When he moved on, a small pink mark remained - he'd marked her, if only for a time. A thrill of possessive pride slithered up his spine, pushing any guilt aside."I don't mind," Evie said with a sultry drawl. "I may do the same to you."Sam chuckled and nipped playfully at her shoulder. "You can do whatever you want, my sexy little ghost. I'll happily wear any mark you want to give me. Though I'll have to watch what I'm thinking - it's kind of weird having a lover who can read my mind.""So don't think bad things," she teased, grinding her hips against his. For someone with no experience, she sure knew exactly what to do to drive him crazy. "And there won't be any trouble." Besides, i

Evie sat up and Sam saw her slight twinge.He kissed her cheek before jumping out of bed and helping her to her feet. "I stretched you some. You're probably a little sore."With no self-consciousness at all, she reached down and touched her pussy. Sam felt himself hardening again, even more. "A little," she admitted. "But it was worth every pang. We will do more tomorrow, right?""Promise." He hugged her tight then bounded across the room to pour some ice water from a pitcher he'd had ready into two tall glasses. "Here. I'll go start the shower."Evie sipped the cool water as though it were ambrosia. After so many years of deprivation, the smallest comforts meant the world. She heard Sam moving about in the attached bathroom. Sam had done a wonderful job of remodeling it, just as he was in the rest of the house. He'd kept the feel of an old and beloved family home while seamlessly integrating modern conveniences. She looked forward to trying out the multi-headed, stone-lined shower

Summer stopped in her tracks and stared at the spot where Evie was standing. "Oh my goodness. I can hear you, but I can't see you. Are you Sam's ghost?"Of course, here was another Holiday who was sensitive to spirits. I am. My name is Evangeline Bonnell. Evie."Oh wow, my first ghost. Sam must be rubbing off on me." Summer's smile was brilliant, a feminine copy of Sam's. "Nice to meet you, Evie. I'm Summer."I know. Evie felt herself smile in return. I've been around this house for a long time.The dark-haired woman took a seat on the sofa and patted the cushion beside her. "So, Evie. This is odd. I'm usually the boring one. I've never talked to a ghost before."I think it might be your child, Evie thought. She was getting some sort of vibration, almost like recognition from the tiny bulge of Summer's tummy. He'll be born at Beltane - another time when the veil is thin."He?" Summer's hand flew down to cover her child. "We just found out about that part yesterday. I haven't even

Sam stood in the middle of his living room, dumbfounded.Your sister is very kind, Evie said."Yeah, she can be. Of course, she can be a real hardass at work, but Matt and the baby have softened her up a lot too."You love working with your family, don't you?He didn't have to stop and think. "Yeah, most of the time. Having your father as a boss can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but after the first few years it smoothed itself out. It helps that we've each carved our own niche." He went back through to the kitchen and began putting away groceries. "While Noel and I both went to art school, he designs the greeting cards. That leaves me to do ornaments, pillows and other holiday décor items. Nobody had done that before, so I pretty much have the whole department to myself."You're all so creative. And your sisters are both active in the company too. That was rarely allowed while I was alive. Sure there were dressmakers and a few other women who worked, mostly widows or old maids,

He spent awhile working on his computer but couldn't concentrate. Forcing himself to wait until eleven to start preparing, he gave up trying to work. Instead, he spent a while sketching Evie in various poses, including some he'd only imagined, like outside on a rope swing under a willow tree. Finally, with just an hour more to wait, Sam went upstairs, put the new silk sheets he'd bought onto his bed and arranged the roses he'd smuggled into the fridge before she'd come into the kitchen. He had a pair of silk pajamas for her to wear between her appearances this time, and had carefully hand washed her own garments so they'd be ready when it was time for her to leave. He left a bottle of massage oil warming in a sink of hot water and went back downstairs to prepare her treat - a lightly baked wheel of brie with an apricot glaze and a warmed baguette. A crisp white wine waited in the fridge.Tonight he had an hour and a half. He was still determined not to take her virginity until tomorro

"Let's make sure it was worth the wait." Sam kissed Evie again, taking back control and making sure she knew just how much he wanted her. He pushed down her shorts then his and pulled back from the kiss just long enough to lift her top over her head. Once they were both naked, he cradled her head in one hand and her ass with the other as he kissed her until neither of them could breathe."Oh yes," she moaned against his lips when they came up for air.Evie sagged toward the bed, and Sam eased her down to the sheets and gazed at her, her pale skin glowing against the burgundy silk. He'd lit the candles again, their glow adding a burnished gleam to her skin and hair. Soft jazz played in the background and the scent of vanilla perfumed the room. The setting was as perfect as he could make it, though not as perfect as Evie. He lay down beside her and kissed her again, this time with all the reverence he was feeling.Her response was electric, sending jolts of pleasure through his skin a

Evie let Sam help her from the bed. He had been bigger than her fingers, and her body was fully corporeal this time. There was a bit of tenderness between her legs, but sex with Sam had been worth every pang and twinge. He sat her on a stool in the bathroom with a glass of water while he disposed of the used condom then filled his oversized bathtub with water. The scent of lavender and vanilla perfumed the room as fluffy white bubbles foamed up in the tub."Here." He watched while she bundled her hair into the now-familiar plastic clip then handed her two small brown pills from a plastic bottle. "These are pain relievers. They may or may not work on you, but they shouldn't cause any harm.""Thank you." She swallowed the tablets, marveling at how far medicine had come since she was alive. Willow bark tea had done some good but it had tasted horrible. These pills she couldn't even taste. "It doesn't hurt badly - and I don't regret it for a moment." He hadn't asked but she'd learned to
