“Right.”“Undo my pants.”“Now?”“Right now.”Oh wow. Even though she’d been waiting to get her hands on him forever, AJ’s hands shook as she unbuckled his belt. She fumbled with the top button of his jeans.After several frustrating attempts, she pressed her forehead to his chest, feeling embarrassed, feeling…virginal. “I don’t know what I’m doing.”“Hey now, you’re doin’ fine.”She chanced a look at him. God, he was gorgeous. His rugged face defined masculine ferocity—the hard angular edge of his jaw, and his jagged cheekbones. His blue eyes burned indigo with lust. His goatee and mustache was the perfect frame for his perfectly kissable full lips. She wanted him so much. How could she prove it? “Kiss me.”He pecked her on the forehead. “I plan to spend hours kissin’ you, but I wanna see the look on your face when you see my cock for the first time.”Heat flooded AJ’s cheeks.“Ah, you are so goddamn sweet when you blush like that. It’s sexy as hell.”Buoyed by his enthusiasm, she re
He scowled. “No. Who the hell ever said that about you?”“Your brother Colby called me that one time.”“Consider the source. Colby’s a bonehead. That ain’t what I see at all when I look at you.”“So, what do you see when you look at me?”“Not Amy Jo, my son’s babysitter. When I noticed you dancin’ at the Golden Boot in that shamelessly brazen miniskirt and them naughty red panties, I started thinkin’ of you in terms of us naked together. A lot.”Better than she’d hoped.“What do you see when you look at me?” he asked.“A hot rancher with a killer body, a wicked smile and even more wicked hands. A good man I trust.” A man I’ve been in love with my whole damn life.“You know I’m too old for you, right?”“I’d say experienced, not old.”“Right. But I’m such a selfish prick I ain’t lettin’ no other man touch you until I’ve had my fill of you.”May that day never come, Cord McKay.Cord framed her face in his hands. “I haven’t had my fill of you tonight, that’s for damn sure. But your thirty
“Wrong. I was done by the time I was your age.”“Well, la-di-fuckin’-da. I think you’re pissed off because Jasmine didn’t invite you to join in the fun and games the other night because you’re old and cranky.”Furious, Cord jumped off the tailgate. “I’ll show you old. I’m gonna kick your smart ass, punk.”Colt tossed the pitchfork aside. “Come on up here and try it.”Just about that time, Colby galloped up on his horse. He reined between the two pickups and the two angry brothers. “What the hell is goin’ on here?”“Ask Colt. Better yet, why don’t you ask him what he’s done today? Or yesterday?Or all goddamn week?”“Accordin’ to Cord, if you ain’t workin’ twenty-four hours a day, you’re a fuckin’ slacker.”“You’d know all about bein’ a slacker, Colt.”“Enough. Both of you.” Colby’s horse stuck his head in the back of the truck bed to sniff for food.“Fine. I’m done anyway.” Colt climbed in his truck and roared off.Cord stared after his shithead brother, mentally cataloging half a doz
“Oh. I, ah. Um. Okay.”He held her hips as he rolled them until AJ’s back was against the cushions. Cord slid to his knees on the floor. As he kissed her, he shoved the velvet square throw pillow underneath her ass. He tucked her skirt out of his way, baring her completely from the waist down.“Keep your hands right there and hold on.”As his palms traveled down the center of her body, Cord wished he’d made her strip so he could feel every inch of her skin.“Cord, I’m not sure—”“You want this.” He dragged openmouthed kisses from her left knee up the inside of her quivering thigh and licked the crease where thigh met hip.She jumped.Smiling, Cord brushed his mouth down the top of her leg, using his tongue to trace the musculature of her thighs, courtesy of the years she’d spent on horseback. He used the same thorough treatment on her right leg. By the time he finished, AJ trembled.Her glistening sex was at his mouth level. He pressed his lips to the top of her pubic bone. The soft c
“AJ. Look at me.”She opened her eyes. Sweat trickled down Cord’s face. His jaw was tight. She traced his profile, amazed by him, by this intimacy. “What?”“This.” Cord squeezed his hands on her butt, buried his face in her throat and drove his cock inside her to the hilt.As he groaned, her inner tissues were so swollen and sensitized that she felt the tip of his sex twitching as he bathed her insides with his hot seed.She couldn’t think of a more ideal way to lose her virginity.*********Cord raised his head and gazed at AJ’s face. Her long black lashes fanned her flushed cheek. Her well-kissed lips were curved into a smirk.He tickled that sassy little mole with his beard.She sighed. “A virgin no more.”“You sore?”“A little.”“Then I’m not pullin’ out because I can’t wait to have you again.”AJ blushed.“Hang on.” Cord rolled until his back was flat on the mattress and she was on top.“Better. Now I don’t hafta worry I’m squashin’ you.”“I don’t mind.” She laid her head on his
How many times had she done dishes at this old enamel sink? She’d never once wondered if it’d be the last time she’d listen for the melodic coos of the mourning doves, or see the golden finches pecking at the bird feeders blowing in the sage-scented breeze.“Sweetheart?”“Where would you go?”“Probably tag along with Jenn to wherever she’s going. Not to live with her, but I can’t imagine not seeing Krista, Mason and Ariel regularly. Does that bother you?”“Why in the world would it bother me? I know that if I had three kids and an iffy future you’d be right there with me, instead of with her.”“Instead—”“Instead, I have school to finish.” AJ faced her mother and smiled. “I won’t pretend this is gonna be easy on me, Mama, because unlike you and Jenn, this is the only home I’ve ever had.”“I know.”“Have you called Carson yet?”“No. I wanted to talk to you first, since it affects you the most.”“I appreciate it. Call him after you rest.”Florence squinted at the clock. “He’s probably h
“You really have to stop reading Cosmo.”“But now I can finally utilize some of those sex tips I’ve been saving up.” She ducked out of the barn to the sound of his frustrated male groan.A few minutes later, Cord propped his boot on the fence next to her, which looked casual to the casual observer, but wasn’t casual in the least.“Better?”“No. I want you so fuckin’ bad, I’m thinkin’ takin’ you for a roll in the hay in the barn in broad daylight might be worth someone discoverin’ us.”Her hopeful sex sent a rush of wetness south.He pointed to Lucy. “Ever think about breedin’ her?”“I wanted to this year. But it’d be too much work for Ma.”“You upset about Flo sellin’ the ranch?”Yes. “I’m not really surprised. She isn’t spry enough to run this place on her own, she wasn’t years ago when they made me do it after Dad…”“What? After he died?”Damn. No one knew what’d gone on in the years before her dad died and she intended to keep it that way. “She’s been struggling since I went to sch
Faster and faster. The camera moved from her tongue to the ecstasy on the man’s face and everything switched to slow motion.AJ squirmed.Cord cupped AJ’s breasts, rasping his thumbs over her nipples until they were hard peaks. He dragged wet kisses up the side of her neck.She turned her head to reach his mouth.“Huh-uh. Eyes on the screen. The best part is just about to start.”“You touching me is the best part.”He chuckled. “True.”The woman on the TV worked her hand from the guy’s balls to the tip in a twisting motion while suckling the purple knob. She’d take a break to scrape her teeth up the vein.AJ whispered, “Doesn’t that hurt?”“Only if you bite down.”“I’ll remember that.”Cord placed her hands on AJ’s bare breasts and said, “Touch yourself here. Show me whatcha like.” He trailed his fingers down her belly, loving how the taut skin quivered in anticipation of his touch.“Cord—”“Don’t close your eyes. Keep watchin’. See how she takes the whole cock in her mouth? Opens her
