Another bit of After All...

“So, what will you do with me now that we’re alone?” Ashley teased as I set the frying pan in the sink, not realizing the kids left.I turned toward her with a smirk. I may have held way back last night, but not today. Not when there was no chance of me getting carried away just because it had been too long. “Hoist you in the counter and kiss you senseless.”Her jaw dropped in mock shock as I gripped her hips and easily set her on the counter, standing between her legs and covering her mouth with mine. No hesitation. No pause. Just got lost in the warm feel of her—both tough and fragile in my arms. For the first time with her, I let my body take over—I gripped her hips more tightly and deepened our kiss. Everything in me folded over and started spinning. Ashley’s arms pulled on me just as hard as I ran my hands up her ribcage stopping just under her bra when I realized I was about ready to explode, or pull a high school move and turn into the grabby kid.
