Selena gave him a shaky smile as arousal pulsed through her system. "I have some--something to tell y-you." Her words were hesitant.
Panic hit Travis. Shit. Last time she had something to tell him, it nearly killed him.
He didn't want anything to spoil this piece of heaven he was experiencing. He braced himself. "What is it?"
Selena's tongue darted out and she licked her lips and tried to speak. Modesty and shyness engulfed her. "I'm okay now."
Travis was expecting something bad, so he was a little slow on the uptake. But it didn't sound like anything was wrong. "Good, Angel. I'm glad."
Selena knew by his reaction that he didn't catch her drift. She tried again. "I know that I--that I t-told you Saturday, and it's only Friday, but--"
Her breath caught as his hands tightened on her.
Pure spirals of lust hit Travis from all sides. Jesus Christ, could this day get any better?
She continued her hesitant explanation. "I w-was afraid to tell you Fri--Friday, j-just in case--you k-know."
"Yeah, Angel, good thinking. I would have been fit to be tied, huh?" His hands stroked her arms in a continuous motion, up and down.
"S-so today, it is l-like a little honey--honeymoon, is it not?" The softly spoken suggestion went straight to his groin.
"Yeah, absolutely, and the swimming can wait." He lifted her chin and gave her a kiss filled with carnal demand. His tongue went deep and tangled with hers.
Selena stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck, while he erotically assaulted her senses. He took her mouth with the full arrogance and assuredness of a man intent on mating.
He dropped to his knees, and brought her with him, their bodies aligned the whole time. "You look good in this swimsuit. You're amazingly hot. I knew you would be."
Selena moaned in his arms.
He wasn't through seducing her with his words. "I knew you were a woman from the moment I laid eyes on you. I wanted to sink into you then, and I've wanted you like that every second since. And now the waiting is over." His hands went to her back and he pulled the string that released her top. Her breasts spilled free, and he lifted the tiny triangles of material over her head and tossed them away.
Travis looked at the bounty in front of him. His forehead came to rest on hers as he took her breasts in his hands and pushed them up. He caressed them gently, and his mouth fell to her cleavage to pay homage. His hands shook, and he silently thanked whatever deity listened, for the release she had given him the day before.
He wouldn't have been able to make it two m
inutes without losing control. His blood pumped through his system, hard and fast.
Selena was drowning in a tide of desire. Her hands clung to him, holding his head to her chest as he licked and sucked at her nipples. Her hips squirmed against him.
She felt no fear, just an intense curiosity and an arousal so deep it had her shaking. She was so glad it was him. God, thank God, thank God, thank you God.
She wanted to be in his arms more than anything in the world, and it shocked her completely how fast she had fallen in love with him. She wanted him to love her back, but for now, a deep feminine instinct in her core told her this was enough. It might not be love, but the possession he blatantly felt for her was compelling, and highly satisfying to the feminine need she had.
Travis raised his head and ran his mouth over the silky skin of a smooth shoulder.
"I want you so much." His hands clenched into her buttocks. "I want to be in you, baby, now. I don't think I can wait."
His lips trailed over her collarbone and up her neck. Selena hung in his arms as need pulsed through her veins. His lips found and settled on her mouth, and his tongue plunged deep while his hands went to her hips and pushed the bottoms down and off.
She gasped and trembled in his arms.
He laid her down on the blanket and watched her while he opened his fly and took off his shorts.
Selena's breath caught and held as she saw his erection in full daylight for the first time. It pulsed between them, jutting forward, a testament to his need for her. Her lips parted but no words came out.
Travis's eyes narrowed on her. Her body was slender, amazingly slender. Her stomach was concave, and her breasts were small white mounds with pink nipples hardened by desire. He had seen countless naked women in his life, but none came close in comparison. She had no fault that he could see, her perfection magnified by the sun streaming through the leaves of the trees.
Travis turned and grabbed his shorts and dug into his pocket. Since the day she walked onto his ranch, he had carried protection with him, wherever he was. He pulled the small square out of his pocket and started to rip it open, to have it ready by his side.
