“Oh God.” She let out a throaty moan. “Right there. Just like that.”
He kept at it. Sky’s breathing escalated, then caught as her body tensed.
Sam felt a tremor shoot through her and her inner walls contracted around his fingers as she came, his name riding a sharp rush of air.
God, he wanted her. She was so damn wet, it was all he could do not to rip open the button fly of his Levi’s and sink into her warm depths.
Of course he had more finesse than that. More control.
But his body literally ached for her.
She pressed her forehead to his shoulder and labored over her breathing. He withdrew his fingers from her and snaked his arms around her, holding her tight. Realizing in that moment, he could forsake any needs he had for hers.
Hell, he might just be a little bit in love with her.
* * * * *
Sky tried to get her bearings, but primal urges she’d never felt before gripped her entire body. She wanted Sam in ways she hadn’t ever considered. She wanted his hands and mouth all over her. She wanted him to make love to her in every conceivable way.
In a breathy voice, she said, “This has to be more than sizzling chemistry.”
“You’re right.” His response was immediate and laced with thick emotion no man had ever shared with her.
“Sam.” She sat up, still straddling him. His gaze locked with hers, his eyes shimmering in the slim beams of moonlight that filtered in through the windows. “I meant what I said earlier.”
He sat up too, his arms around her waist. He kissed her, then said, “Whatever you want, darlin’.”
“You,” she told him, her tone full of certainty, “are what I want.”
She grabbed fistfuls of her shirt and hauled it over her head. Then she unhooked her bra and tossed it aside.
Sam sucked in a breath. “And here I didn’t think I could get any harder.”
His hands skimmed over her stomach and up to her breasts. He palmed them and bent his head, dragging his tongue over one taut nipple, then the other.
Her fingers plowed through his lush hair as her head fell back and her spine arched.
He licked and suckled. Electric currents pulsed through her and her nerve endings snapped. The dull throbbing in her pussy excited her further. The hunky cowboy got her all hot and bothered yet again…and he knew how to up the ante.
He massaged her breasts, then gently pinched one of her nipples. She gasped. He sucked the sensitive tip into his mouth, his tongue toying with it. She ground herself against his lap, feeling his hard cock through the denim they both wore.
He let out a low grunt.
Sky said, “I didn’t think I’d want this again. Ever.”
His head lifted. “But you’re sure?”
“Oh, yes,” she insisted. “Maybe from the first time I saw you. I can’t explain it. I was in such a horrible, hollow place inside myself and then I saw you on your horse and everything within me brightened. The first rays of sun hitting the frozen ground after a long, hard winter. I didn’t question it, Sam. I just let it happen.”
His fingers skimmed her cheeks and he said, “I’m sorry about Nashville, darlin’. That’s not ever going to happen to you again.”
She nodded. Sure, it was unrealistic to believe nothing evil lurked around her corners when a dark shadow continued to chase her. Yet with Sam, she really did feel safe. And cherished. From the very, very beginning…
Detangling herself, she climbed off him. She removed her boots and socks, then shoved her jeans down her legs and straightened. He reached for her hand.
Staring up at her, he said, “You are so beautiful.” His smoldering gaze spoke volumes.
He released her hand and hooked his fingers in the sides of her thong. He dragged the material downward. She stepped out of the panties. He stood and Sky pushed his shirt off his shoulders, letting it drop to the floor.
