This Love (Cowboys & Angels 6)

“Good morning,” I said, waiting for her to sit so I could put the tray down.

“What is this?” she asked, a stunning smile on her beautiful face. Shit. Her hair was going every which way, her make-up smeared under her eye and…was that a drool spot on the right side of her mouth?

Good God. I’d never seen a creature so perfectly beautiful.

“Breakfast in bed.”

“Cord! You shouldn’t have! How are you feeling?”

I placed the tray in front of her and shrugged. “Slightly sore, nothing too bad.”

She looked my body over from head to toe. She lingered a little on the trail of hair leading into my jeans. Her cheeks flushed and her gaze dropped to the tray of food.

She picked up a strawberry and pressed it to her lips but didn’t eat it. Instead she stared at me as I pulled my jeans off and slipped a pair of old sweats on. At least now my poor dick wouldn’t be suffocating.

“You see something you want?” I asked, giving her a wink when her eyes met mine. She returned my wink with one of her own.

“As a matter of fact, I do.”

Pointing to her breakfast, I demanded, “Eat first, you’re going to need your energy for what I have planned for the rest of the day.”

Maebh swallowed and then looked down at her food. I reached over and took the plate that had a few pancakes on it.

“Hope you like pancakes. Mom always keeps batter here.”

With a grin, she replied, “I love pancakes.”

After settling in next to her, I bumped her with my knee. “Thank you for staying with me last night.”

Her cheeks turned pink. “It was such a hardship, me body pressed to yours all night.”

I laughed.

Tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, Maebh cleared her throat. “May I ask you something?”

“Always,” I said, taking a bite of pancakes.

Our eyes met, and she pressed her lips tightly together before speaking. “Last night you said you’d never had a woman sleep in your bed. Explain to me what you meant.”

Lifting the corner of my mouth, I gave her a sexy smirk.

“I meant, I’ve never spent an evening, hell an hour, snuggling up next to a woman in my bed. Unless you count my mom when I was sick.”

“Why?” she asked, her nose wrinkled in the cutest way.

I placed my hand on the side of her cheek and brushed the pad of my thumb over her soft skin.

“Because I’ve never wanted anyone in my bed. Until you.”

Those two words sent me heart into a massive explosion of beats.

Cord Parker felt like a free fall, and it was the best fall of me life.

“Maebh,” Cord said in a soft voice.

“Yes?”

“I’m going to make love to you now, so are you finished with those pancakes?”

I swallowed hard.

Oh, holy shite. This is it. Me virginity is about to be taken and by the most amazing man I’d ever met in me life.

“W-what pancakes?” I asked.

His chuckle vibrated through me entire body and went straight between me legs.

He took the tray over to the sitting area and set it on the table.

When he turned back to face me, his eyes were filled with desire.

Lifting his hand, he motioned for me to come to him. I did, scampering out of the bed like a child who had been summoned to go out and play with all the other kids. Stopping short of him, I watched as he lifted me blouse and pulled it over me head, dropping it to the floor.

His tongue ran over his lips and I let out a soft moan. When his hands came up and cupped me breasts, I closed me eyes.

“Do you have any idea how perfect your body is? Your breasts fit in my hands like they were made for them.”

When his thumb ran over me nipple, I struggled to breathe. I sounded desperate for air, but when it came to Cord, I was beyond desperate. For everything.

Me hands shook as I placed them on his massive chest. The feel of his hard muscles under them made me shudder. Shite, he was so built. His abs had abs. His arms were massive, and I loved the idea of them pulling me to him as he slipped inside of me for the first time.

Then it hit me. I was about to have sex. A man was about to put his penis inside of me. What if it hurt? What if I sucked? What if I just laid there, too afraid to move?

“Stop thinking so hard,” Cord said, pulling me against his body.

Cupping me face within his hands, he kissed me. The sweetest, most gentle kiss. Our tongues danced together while me fingertips ran down his body to his sweatpants. Dipping me hand in, I found him hard and ready. When I squeezed slightly, Cord moaned into me mouth, his hand wrapping around me neck, deepening the kiss. Lord, this man can kiss. Then he was on his knees and I was panting, needing him to keep kissing me. He left me so dizzy I hadn’t realized he was stripping me of me panties until the heat from his touch jolted me out of me daze.
