“Soon. First I want to taste your sweet honey. Help me take my boots off.”
She climbed off the bed and straddled one leg with her ass facing him. She bent over and tugged on the boot. She had it halfway off when his finger slid up her aching slit and swirled around her entrance. “Oh, Chance.” She pushed back onto his finger, enjoying the delicious slide of his thick digit into her hot sheath.
“My boot, baby.” He withdrew his finger.
Looking over her shoulder, she shot him a nasty glare. Stupid man. Pulling the boot free, she switched legs and removed the other one before he could tease her further. Boots gone, she finished off his pants and socks, leaving him as naked as the day he was born.
Sitting down, she took care of her own boots, but before she could strip the black lace away, he stopped her.
“Hold on. I want to take care of all the lacy parts.” His wicked smile promised she would enjoy letting him have his way. He started by nibbling on her lips. His molten kisses soon trailed down her jaw to her neck and over her collarbones. Each touch of his mouth on her skin sent ripples of pleasure coursing through her body. Finally he reached behind her and unhooked her bra, letting it slide forward to unveil her breasts.
“Baby, those may be the prettiest titties I have ever seen.” He reminded himself not to pounce on the poor woman. Though at the moment, she looked as though she might welcome a little pouncing. He pressed her back onto the bed and straddled her hips so that he could feast on her pink-tipped breasts.
He could easily spend the next twenty or thirty years enjoying those luscious mounds and not get tired of doing so. The soft flesh molded to his big hands, and every stroke or touch seemed to cause her to shiver. Sucking in earnest, he loved that she knotted her fingers in his hair as though she might not ever let him stop.
Bound and determined to move south, he had to tug a bit to get her to let go. Sliding down, he knelt on the floor and spread her legs. With a smooth pull of her hips, he slid her ass to the edge of the bed and managed to pull her thong down and then off. He spread her legs wide and drove his tongue deep into her sopping entrance. Something primal clawed its way up from the depths of his soul and claimed her. Then and there it screamed out mine. She was his and no other would touch her again. Ever.
He plunged his tongue in and out, mimicking what he wanted to do with his cock. Her needy core clenched around him, trying to keep him with her. He slid two fingers deep into her heat as he switched to flicking the turgid little peak with his tongue. She moaned and thrust her hips against his mouth and hand.
“Please. Chance, I need more. I need you to be inside me.” Her husky pleadings grated on his tenuous control.
“Soon, baby. I promise; first I want you to come for me. Can you do that? Can you come for me?” He resumed working her clit with his tongue as he thrust his fingers deep into her pussy.
Her body tensed and she gripped his head. “Yes!”
“That’s it, baby, yell for me. Nobody can hear you but me.” Her cries, paired with the rapid thrust of her hips, told him in no uncertain terms that she was about to explode. And then she did. The walls of her sheath clamped down on his fingers as her juices flooded his hand. He kept stroking her clit, letting her cries ring through the room. After pulling his fingers from her, he proceeded to lick them clean. Her eyes tracked the flicks of his tongue as he lapped up every bit of her delicious offering.
Reaching to the floor for his jeans, he produced a little foil packet. Sheathing himself in the rubber, he spread her legs and pressed the tip of his throbbing cock to her entrance. He stopped. “Beth, baby. Look at me.” He waited until her gaze locked with his. “I won’t let you go again.” He pushed forward and buried himself deep in her body. His balls nestled up against her ass, surrounding him in her heat. Being inside a woman never felt so good.
Dragging backwards out of her body, he stopped short of full withdrawal, only to drive back in. He pistoned in and out of her, pushing them both toward the release only orgasm could bring. Her walls clenched and rippled around him while he strummed her clit with his thumb.
“Yes, Chance. Yours. I’m yours.” Her words shot clear to his heart and crumbled what little remained of his defenses.
As she shattered around him, it was all he could do to stop himself from declaring his newfound feelings. It was too soon to say it, but the emotions were real. His balls tightened just before ecstasy took over. His release shimmied down his spine and curled his toes. Sliding from her warmth, he tossed the condom and settled them under the covers.
“Baby, I meant what I said. This doesn’t end tonight.” He spooned her from behind, settling one hand on her breast. Lazily he stroked the nipple, enjoying the feel of her skin against his.
“I’m glad. I want to see where this leads. I can’t imagine walking away for a second time.”
“Good. Now get some rest; you’re gonna need it.” He kissed the top of her head and snuggled down.
Morning came bright and early after being up half the night making love with Chance. Beth rolled over and smiled. Somehow fate had intervened and given her another chance at love.
His lashes lifted and a grin split his face. “Morning, baby.”
“Morning, cowboy. Are you hungry for some breakfast? We could order room service.” She sat up and stretched, but was quickly pulled back into the bed and tucked against him.
“In a minute. First I need my good-morning kiss.” He pressed his lips to hers, sweeping into her mouth with his tongue. She moaned and melted against him. Pulling back to peck her lips a few more times, he released her. “Now, let me see to ordering us some breakfast.” He got out of bed and handed her a menu. “Tell me what you’d like.”
She scanned the menu. “Two eggs scrambled, bacon, and pancakes. I seem to have worked up an appetite.”
Chance called and placed their order. “In the meantime, we need to talk.” His heart raced as he watched some of the tension from yesterday ease into her features.
“Okay. What’s on your mind, cowboy?” Her nonchalance rang false and grated on his good mood.
“Don’t do that. Don’t ever hide your emotions behind a facade. I’ll always want to know what you’re thinking and feeling.”
Her eyes widened in surprise, but she nodded. “I’m sorry. You’re right, that was rude of me. I can’t expect you to be honest with me if I won’t be honest with you.”
“It’s okay, baby. I just don’t want any barriers between us. If we’re going to be together, we have to be open to each other. No holding back. I want you to move in with me at my ranch. It’s about forty minutes outside of Houston, so you could go in to the office when you need to and I can give you an office to work from at my place.” He held his breath as he waited for her response.
“Oh. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought we’d date and see where this goes.”
“Maybe I’m just being greedy, but I want to go to sleep with you in my arms at night and wake up that way in the morning. I want to watch you brush your teeth while I shave, see your socks and panties in the drawer next to my shorts, and I want to eat every meal with you across the table. I told you last night I wasn’t ever letting you go, and I meant it.” He reached out to trace the line of her jaw.
She said nothing for a few moments, and he watched the myriad emotions flicker across her face. Finally, something won out, but he wasn’t sure what. “I want that too, but I’m not ready to jump in blind. I’ll move in with you, but I’m keeping my place for a while. Just until we’re both sure this arrangement will work. Can you live with that?”
“Yeah. I don’t like it, but I can live with it. For now. Don’t think I won’t be working hard to convince you to make it a more permanent arrangement.” He resisted the urge to pout. Apparently the hardheaded woman didn’t realize that what they had was special. But he’d show her once he got her home. If he had to tie her to the bed, he’d make her see that she wasn’t going anywhere.
“I look forward to being persuaded.” A sultry grin curved her lips up.
“Well then, I should get started right away.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her like he’d never let her go-mostly because he wouldn’t.
