on the back wall that needs to come down. But first, a stop off at my place to get some tools.”
After he’d piled a few tools he knew they would need in the back of his truck, they headed back to her shop. She let him in and he got to work making sure the power and water were off on that level while she raced upstairs to change.
When she came back down in her work clothes, he handed her a sledgehammer, gloves, and some protective glasses. “Ready?” He picked up his own hammer and stood a few feet away from her.
“I’ve never done this before. Do I just…”
He laughed. “You can over think this. Just swing and hit something. Oh, make sure to use full swings. I don’t want to see any girlie stuff here.” He smiled at her.
“Girlie?” She frowned. “I don’t do girlie things.” She pouted a little.
He laughed. “Prove it. On the count of three?” She nodded and he counted and swung with her. He was impressed. She may have never done this before, but she put everything she had into each swing.
It took them a little under an hour to have the back wall knocked out.
“That felt good.” She smiled over at him and he could see a slight sheen of sweat on her brow. “What else needs destroying?” She looked around.
“Hang on, Xena.” He laughed. “Part of destroying is cleaning up.” He nodded to the huge pile of boards and drywall that sat at their feet. “We’ve got to haul all this out to that dumpster we delivered on Friday.” She frowned a little, but then she set her sledgehammer down and pulled the wheelbarrow closer so they could load it up.
He had never dated a woman that didn’t complain when hard work was required. Shelly was the exception to the rule. She poured one hundred percent into everything she did. By the time the mess was completely gone, they were both covered in dust, dirt, and sweat.
It totally shocked him that she still had a smile on her face. She’d tied her hair up in a braid, and some of it had escaped to fall around her face. She looked at him and he felt something shift inside, something that he had never felt before. It took his breath away and he was speechless for almost an entire minute.
“Is everything okay?” she asked, looking at him funny.
All he could do was nod his head. He tried to look away from her, but she was standing in the fading light of the big windows with the setting sun behind her. She was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. Even covered in grime, she was beautiful.
Then she walked towards him slowly and he lost the rest of his breath as he watched her move. Her hips swayed in the tight jeans she was wearing. Even the large shirt she’d thrown on looked very appealing.
She didn’t stop walking until she bumped into his chest with hers. Then her arms wrapped around his shoulders and he couldn’t stop his hands from going to her hips, pulling her closer.
“I just can’t seem to stop wanting this,” she said before she stood up on her toes and placed her lips against his.
*******
Shelly’s hands shook as she tugged on his hair to bring his lips down to hers. She’d witnessed his eyes heat from across the room and knew his mood had changed. She couldn’t stop her body from responding to his as his fingers dug into her hips. She wanted him and instantly felt torn.
She’d never gotten this close to someone before. Never dreamed it was possible.
When his mouth moved over hers, she sighed and enjoyed the warmth that spread down to her toes. Then he took a step closer, backing her up until her shoulders came up against the outer wall. She ached and arched as his hands ran over her, tugging and pulling her large T-shirt out of her old jeans until, finally, she felt his callused hands on her bare skin. She moaned with pleasure as her body responded to his touch.
When his head dipped and his mouth spread over her exposed skin, she closed her eyes and sighed at the wonderful feeling of his hot lips on her breast.
