I watched as Remington took in Faith in her low-cut bridesmaid dress for the first time. His eyes glazed over. That was a man in love with this woman. I wondered if I would ever find out what happened between the two of them and hoped that one day, they could fix it.
When the preacher told Beau to kiss me, he cupped my face in his hands and did just that. “I love you, Mrs. Montgomery.”
Another round of tears slipped free as I managed to reply, “I love you too, Mr. Montgomery.”
A silent “eww” came from Rhett and Reagan as we pulled away and laughter caught us. One day it would be them. They’d be this happy and then we could say how we always knew how it would end.
The reception was held in a tent at the farm, but we didn’t want to attend. We were too busy starting our lives together. While we’d spent time greeting the guests, Remy and Jameson had gotten Apache and Zeus ready for us to ride into the sunset together. They would meet us as a designated destination and exchange the horses for Beau’s truck so we could slip out and go on our honeymoon.
It was the perfect ending to our perfect love story. I’d wondered if this was really our love story or if I was just imagining it. I know it won’t always be perfect. Some days it’s going to be hard and we’re going to have to fight for it, but it’ll be worth it.
And it appears we were always meant to be written in the stars.
One year later
We’d been camped out in the barn for days, waiting on the arrival of Elle’s beautiful baby. It’d been eleven months to the day since we caught Elle and Zeus out having a midnight romp. Somehow, they’d gotten free of their stalls and decided to get it on. I couldn’t blame them really. Beau and I have been quite busy ourselves these days.
He walked up behind me, wrapped his arm around my back, and pulled me closer as I watched Elle paw the ground. “How’s momma doing today?”
“She’s restless. I think she’s ready to have this baby. Keeps looking at her sides.”
“Yep, sounds like we don’t have much longer to wait, then.”
He leaned over, warm breath hitting my skin as he whispered, “I have ideas in the meantime.”
I turned around and with a small grin, I replied, “Oh yeah, what did you have in mind…”
I didn’t even get the word out before his lips were on mine. And I was consumed. There wasn’t anything in this world that could ever compare with the sweet kisses of this man. His hands moved down my sides, gripping my ass and lifting me like I was the same weight as a feather. My legs wrapped around his hips, his hard length pressing against me. This man and my feelings for him. So much swoon and love for him.
“Cass.” My name a gasp on his lips as we pulled apart from each other and my eyes found his. He rubbed his nose over mine, “I want you so bad baby, right here in this barn. Can’t wait long enough to take you to the house.”
Before I knew what was happening, he’d pulled me into the tack room and was removing my clothes for me. My left boot was off, and my pants and panties were pulled down and off that leg. He didn’t even take the time to remove the other leg. This was need, intense need, raw and passionate. He needed me more than he needed to get me naked. My hands shook as I undid the belt buckle, button, and zipper on his Levi’s. The sound of my heart hammering against my chest was so loud that I wondered if he could hear it too. This feeling right here was Beau induced. This crazy, lustful need only happened when he was around. What was he doing to me?
I was more than willing to have sex in this barn where anyone could walk in and see us. The idea thrilled me more than I like to admit. I felt sexy, wanted, desired. I wanted him. Just like this, half dressed and needy. I could see the hunger in his eyes and it drenched my core. His fingers found me wet and wanton for him. “You need this, don’t you, darlin’.’”
A whimpered, “Yes,” came from my lips. “It’s your fault. Just being near you makes me needy, cowboy.”
His eyes filled with lust, and he picked me up again. I wrapped myself in his masculine scent and love as he lowered us onto the bed in the tack room. The feel of him inside was like nothing I’d ever felt before. He filled me so full that I had to hold my breath so I could adjust to his size. Not to mention I was still sore from our romp earlier this morning.
He pulled out and then sunk back into my body again. My fingers ran up and down his back as my head fell back in ecstasy. “Harder,” I demanded and he gave me just what I needed.
I cried out, and he stilled, “You okay, darlin’?”
I nodded and winked at him, “Hells yes. Do it again, cowboy.”
“Tell me what you need from me, Cass.” I knew what I wanted from him and I knew he’d give it to me gladly so I asked for it.
“Do not be gentle. Give me everything. Make me scream your name so loud that everyone on this farm hears it. Hard. Fast. Everything you have. I want to pant for you.”
Those dark chocolate eyes got even darker with want, and he did just as I asked of him. I was screaming his name before I even knew it hit me. I felt him grow bigger with my desire
