He reached out and stroked his fingers over her engorged clitty, sending her into a spiral of desire. He pounded into her harder, the bed moving across the floor with each firm stroke of his cock until she came in a shattering orgasm. Matt found his own release moments later, filling her with his hot seed before he gathered her to him and kissed her tenderly.
“I love you so much, my sweet Lizzie.”
* * *
She’d expected to feel a bit nervous going to her first dance in Juniper Junction, but after the powerful orgasm Matt had given her, she felt relaxed and happy.
Very happy.
I love you so much, my sweet Lizzie.
Her heart overflowed. Matt held her hand in his as they strolled toward the party that was already in full swing.
“Thank you again for these beautiful earrings,” she said to him as they neared the door. “You really surprised me.”
A wide smile spread over his face. “I’m glad you like them. I wish I could buy you all the most beautiful jewels you could ever want.”
Oh no. Her mind went to the precious items and cash she had hidden at home. She really had to come clean with her husband. But not tonight.
She glanced up at the sky and stopped for a moment. “Remember when you wrote to me about the beautiful Wyoming skies and how you can see the stars so clearly it’s like you could reach out and touch them?”
“I sure do.”
“You were certainly right.”
“Come on, I need to show off my beautiful new bride.” Matt tugged her hand and they hurried toward the crowd where music was already playing and couples spun on a makeshift dance floor. “It’s going to be a memorable night.”
Chapter 13
This was not like any dance she’d ever attended. The room buzzed with excitement and the lively music had her toes tapping.
“Lizzie, I’m so glad you’re here,” Josie said, speaking a bit loud to be heard over the crowd.
“Everything looks wonderful. You and Millie did a great job!”
“Thank you. This sure beats making calls on Mrs. Ryan.” Josie laughed. “Make sure you get some punch and don’t miss the cake auction.”
Lizzie noticed a long table with all sorts of cakes on top. “Wow,” she said. “I’m glad I didn’t volunteer to bake a cake. I can’t imagine being able to make something that looks so delicious.”
“Oh, you’ll learn,” Josie said with a laugh. “I’ve got to go and check on Millie. Enjoy yourself! And I expect to see you on the dance floor soon.”
A large man with a dignified air about him approached, removing his hat. He looked vaguely familiar but she had no idea where she would have seen him before.
“Matt,” he said to her husband, “I hope you’ll do me the honor of introducing your bride.”
“I’d be happy to, Mr. Conners. Lizzie, this is Mr. Conners, my boss. Mr. Conners, this is Elizabeth, my bride.” Matt smiled broadly when he said the words and Lizzie felt warm all over. He was proud of her.
“I’m pleased to meet you. May I call you Lizzie? I apologize for those two hooligans who injured you when you were getting off the train. I turned my back for a second and they caused a problem.” He shook his head in disgust and she remembered where she’d seen him. He’d looked much less friendly that day, but based on what she’d learned about the two girls being sent out of town, it was no wonder.
“I’m happy to meet you, Mr. Conners. I’ve heard a lot of nice things about you. And please don’t concern yourself about my injury. Doctor Granger gave me some liniment that worked wonders.”
“Well good. I’d hate for you to miss out on dancing. I’m sure with Matt as a partner, your feet will take enough of a beating anyway.”
Mr. Conners slapped Matt on the back, nodded to Lizzie and bid them a good evening.
The band started up a familiar tune. Matt turned to her. “Care to see if Mr. Conners was exaggerating about my dancing skills?”
She laughed. “I’m sure my feet are up to the challenge. You might have to show me some of the steps, though.”
They moved close to the dance floor and watched for a minute or two. Matt showed her the steps and they made their way onto the floor with the other couples.
It felt wonderful to be held in her husband’s arms as they circled the floor. For the first few moments she focused on the steps before she relaxed and looked around. They passed Posey and Jake, who moved together well for a pair as physically mismatched as the two of them were. Posey gave her a broad smile before she returned her attention to Jake, gazing up at him with love.
The music ended but another song started right away and they continued.
“Thank you, Matt. This is the best dance I’ve ever been to.”
“I don’t suppose you got to attend many as a guest. You probably had to clean up afterward.”
Another reminder to be careful of her words. Oh, she really had to ‘fess up to Matt. He’d already said he loved her, he’d forgive her. She vowed to tell him first thing in the morning.
“Yes,” she said, then tried to change the subject. “Oh, look over there. Is that Josie’s fella?”
Matt swung around to look and she didn’t expect the sudden movement. She stumbled over her feet and if not for Matt’s firm hold on her, she’d have fallen down in the middle of the dance floor.
“Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry. Are you hurt?” They were making a bit of a scene in the middle of the dance floor and Lizzie hated drawing attention to herself that way.
Glancing down at her feet, she saw the heel had come off one of her shoes. “Oh no. How can I dance like this?” Matt supported her with an arm around her waist and found a place for her to sit down while he knelt
