A Love for all Ages (Crockett County Trilogy Book 1) by Brenda Phillips

spasms rock her body.
    When he knows she is done he raises his head to gaze upon
her.
Chase could do this over and over and never get tired.
Stephanie is lying back on the bed breathing deeply.
After a few
minutes she raises up on her elbows, “Wow.” Grinning she lays
back down on the bed.
Rising up again she asks, “Why didn’t you
make love to me?
Don’t get me wrong this was awesome, I just
don’t understand, why we didn’t do the do.”
Laughing at her
wording she stares at Chase waiting for him to answer.
    Chase places a kiss on the soft curls covering her
womanhood.
He moves to leans over Stephanie, he gives her lips
a quick lick then a quick kiss.
Chase smiles as he tells her, “This
was defiantly awesome but I was not planning on this happening.
So I was ….let’s just say I was not prepared for this time.”
Grinning
when he sees she understands blushing.
“Besides, for me there
are many ways of making love.”
Believing her to be the most
wonderful woman in the world Chase stares at her lying naked on
the bed and is amazed after all they had just done, she blushes
because he didn’t have protection.
It is also at that moment he
realizes he is in love with her.
    Sitting up on the bed concerned Stephanie asks, “Did I hurt
your head?
During all the excitement I grabbed your head.
Did I
hit you with my cast?”
Searching with her eyes she looks for marks
or scratches on his face; finding none she pulls her lower lip
between her teeth.
She had been filled with passion and need, she
hadn’t even thought about her cast or the fact she could be hurting
Chase.
    Seeing the concern on her face Chase moves to lie on the
bed beside her, taking her hand he laces their fingers together, “You
didn’t hurt me.”
Bringing Stephanie’s hand to his mouth he kisses
it then lays their joined hands on his chest.
    Lying beside Chase, Stephanie tries to stifle a yawn, unable
to hide it she rolls closer to him.
Now with her body temperature
returning to normal she feels chilly.
“I think we need to get under
the covers and take a nap.
For some reason I am exhausted. “
Smiling sleepily she closes her eyes.
    Chase feels her body cuddled next to his, agreeing he
responds, “Good ideal but before you pass out we need to move
under the covers as you suggested.”
Sitting up Chase takes off his
boots then stands to remove his jeans.
Deciding it’s best for them
both he leaves his boxer shorts on, glancing at Stephanie he sees
her watching him.
Smiling Chase motions for Stephanie to get
under the covers he joins her on the bed.
Stephanie lays her head
on Chase’s arm as she moves closer against him.
After pulling the
covers over them Chase puts his other arm around her waist.
His
last thought before he falls asleep is he could get use to spooning
with Stephanie.
    A few hours later Stephanie sits at the kitchen table
browsing through the Civil War sites on her computer.
Not sure
what she is actually looking for she lets her thoughts turn to Chase.
After they had wakened they had gotten dressed then went to the
attic to check out what the burglar had done.
Seeing the box
across the room Stephanie had set it upright then placed the items
back inside.
Folding the flaps closed she stacked it with the other
boxes by the window.
    They had tried to come up with answers to why he had just
taken the one ledger.
The house has a few antiques, as well as her
laptop is state of the art, yet he hadn’t bothered to steal those
items.
Not coming any closer to the reason Chase had taken the
ledgers still in the box downstairs to look through later, placing the
box by the couch.
Next he had fixed the broken pane on the back
door, upon completing that task he had gone to the living room to
begin reading the ledgers.
    She had left him sitting on the couch with the box at his feet.
Coming in the kitchen she had thought maybe she could find
something to help with Archie on the civil
