Lost Love (Cowboys & Angels 1)

Paxton wrapped her arms around me, pulling me to her. The kiss deepened, and I pushed a little further in before pulling back out. I reached my hand down and slipped two fingers inside.

“Fuck… You’re so wet, baby.”

Her eyes closed and she lifted her hips, silently begging me to enter her body.

I brought my hand back up and rested on my elbows, both hands cradling her head. Our gazes locked, and I slowly pushed into her.

“Steed,” she gasped as we became one. I let out a soft moan and stayed perfectly still for a few moments…needing to feel her pussy throbbing around me.

Christ, this is perfection.

Neither one of us had to say a word. We were both lost within each other. I slowly pulled out and pushed back in, causing Paxton to dig her nails into my back.

My lips moved across her neck softly and slowly before I kissed the soft skin under her ear. “Paxton Monroe. You are my life. The only woman I will ever love.”

My body was spent. Two rounds of amazing sex with Steed and countless orgasms today, and I was a puddle of mushy happiness. We laid on the blanket, our bodies tangled up with one another, as we stared out at the beautiful view in front of us.

“How do you feel?” Steed asked while his fingertips moved lightly across my arm.

“Amazing. Wonderful. Marvelous. Fantastic. Satisfied. Relaxed.”

The rumble in his chest from his laughter moved through my body. I had never felt so elated in my life.

“I’m glad you feel all of that.”

“And more,” I added. “So much more.”

Our heads turned to each other. The love in Steed’s eyes warmed my heart. He gently traced his fingertip over my face, lips, and jaw. Everywhere he touched I was on fire. Not to mention it sent my stomach into a frenzy of twists and turns.

“I like the more part the best,” he softly said.

Reaching down, he wove his fingers with mine. The sun was sinking farther down the sky.

“May I ask you something, Pax?”

“Of course you can,” I answered as I looked at him.

“The tattoo on your foot, when did you get it?”

Glancing down at the scrolled tattoo that read “Let It Be”, I drew in a deep breath and blew it out.

“I got it after my last counseling session. I picked that phrase because it had finally hit me that what I really needed to do was let go. That I couldn’t let my sadness and anger control my life. I needed to let it be. Go the way fate was taking me and know that it would all work out someday.”

Steed sat up and ran his finger over the tattoo before glancing back at me. “I love you. I love your strength, your faith, and your kind soul. You’re amazing.”

Smiling, I sat up and placed my hand on the side of his face. “Thank you for that.”

His hand cupped the back of my neck, drawing me closer to him. The kiss was soft and gentle. It was the perfect way to end this part of the evening.

“We should get dressed before Trevor shows up.”

He nodded, but the disappointment in his eyes was evident.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

We both stood and silently got dressed. Then we settled back on the blanket, me between his legs with my head resting against his solid chest. The sun was touching the hills and turning the sky the most beautiful colors. Pinks and reds spread across the horizon in beautiful wisps of clouds. It was stunning.

The sound of two vehicles pulling up had us both turning.

“Who’s driving your truck?” I asked as Steed stood and helped me up.

A wide smile curled his mouth. “Mitchell. He’s got Chloe.”

“Chloe?” I asked with my own grin.

“Yeah, she’s going to join us for movie night. I thought she might like to do that with us.”

Oh. My. Gosh. This man. Swoon-a-thon going on here.

The way he loved his daughter did crazy things to my heart. I fell even more in love with him knowing he wanted to make Chloe a part of our day.

“That sounds amazing!”

I took his hand in mine and kissed the back of it. “Steed, Chloe is very much a part of our relationship and in no way do I resent anything about that. It warms my heart to see you with Chloe and know how much you love her. She is a part of my heart now too, and I’d give my last breath for her.”

Steed’s eyes widened in surprise before they filled with tears. He opened his mouth to say something, but instead of speaking, he closed his eyes and slowly shook his head before catching my gaze.

“I love you so fucking much.” He pulled my body against his and pressed his mouth to mine. The trucks stopped, and I had thought he would let me go, especially knowing Chloe was here. But he didn’t. He held me tighter and kissed me deeper. By the time he was done I was dizzy and had to hold onto his arms to steady myself.
