Lust & Lies Box Set-Sexual Awakenings, Excess, Predator & Prey

The reaction was instant.

“Goddamn, man, watch your balls.”

“Fuck, man, better keep one eye open at night.”

I held out my hand. “Pay up, motherfuckers.”

Taylor smiled as I came toward her with a fistful of cash. I scooped her up in my arms and kissed her deep. When I pulled away, she looked up at me. I grinned down at her, my chest filled with pride. “Told you.”

“I can’t believe I let you talk me into that. You weren’t worried?”

“Not for a single second.”

“That was so stupid.”

I inhaled her smell. “You like living on the edge.”

“No,” she whispered. “No, I don’t.”

But I knew better. The guys huddled around our circle of trucks in the middle of the hayfield, giving us shit for our PDA. I shot the bird over my shoulder as someone turned some music on and fresh beers were popped.

“I bet you’re wet.”

Taylor smiled as I leaned in.

“And I bet it’s not just ’cause I kissed you.”

She lifted a brow. “Bet you won’t ever find out.”

I ran with her in my arms as she threw her head back, laughed, and tightened her legs around me.

“Where are you taking me, Laz? There’s a mile of field around. They can see us.”

I tossed her in my truck and sped out of out of the circle as empty beer cans were tossed our way, hitting the side of my truck.

“Laz, I don’t have to be home yet.”

“I’m not taking you home, home, baby.”

Taylor slid next to me as I raced down the gravel road to the Mason farm a few miles away. “What’s going on?”

“I need to make you mine.”

“I am yours,” she said with a glance my way.

I slid to a stop in front of the barn. Taylor glanced around, uneasy.

“Laz, they’ll catch us.”

“He’s at a horse show. He asked me to keep an eye on the place.” Out of the truck, I gripped her hand and slid open the door. It reeked of damp hay, but it didn’t matter. I saw her smile as I sat her down on the pile of quilts I’d laid down.

“You planned this?”

“I just thought . . .” My chest ached with a feeling I couldn’t control when I was around her. “I know you hate that motel.”

She nodded as she looked over to me.

“You’re high.”
