For the Love of Anna (The Town of Pearl 1)

Ben licked her skin, and the heat hit her cheeks, plus her panties.

“Damn you, Ben, this is completely inappropriate!” she reprimanded him, and Anna heard the chuckles, then the conversations continued around her. Now, no one was even paying attention.

Flustered, she locked gazes with Ben and gave him the evil eye. It didn’t last but a few seconds. He was handsome and so darn sexy, she couldn’t resist him. Fighting him didn’t get him to stop, it just made him more determined to show he was the one in control. She tried a different tactic.

“Ben, honey, can you please let me up? My ribs are hurting.”

He began to slowly release her, but stupi

d her smiled too soon. He realized she was lying and turned her in his arms so fast and so easily she didn’t have a moment to escape.

Now, he held her like a baby across his lap, placed her head against his chest, and held his hand over her thighs.

There was no use in fighting him, so she gave up and joined the conversation with the others.

Wyatt watched Anna as Ben, Max, and Charlie talked about the ranch, the animals, and their ideas for expanding the stables. Then they walked back out toward the grill to make sure everything was ready. It was just Wyatt, Ben, and Anna on the porch.

“Can you let me up now? I’d like to go help Stacy set the table.”

“Give me some sugar first.” Ben tilted his chin toward Anna and held her thighs so she couldn’t move.

Anna released an exasperated sigh, and Wyatt laughed. Ben was a demanding man who didn’t give two shits what anyone thought. He did what he wanted, when he wanted to, and that was it. It would be fun to see how he handled Anna. It was obvious that she appeased him to not cause a scene earlier, but something told him that she wasn’t finished with Ben.

Anna gave Ben a quick, soft kiss then attempted to get up.

He held her still.

“I asked for sugar, honey.”

Before Anna could respond, Ben pulled her toward him and kissed her long and wildly. Wyatt shook his head and laughed. When Ben finally released her, Anna’s lips were swollen and red, and her eyes were filled with desire. His own cock throbbed against his jeans just from watching.

She slowly rose off of Ben’s lap, and when she turned to leave, he rubbed his hand up her skirt and touched her. Anna swung around, apparently shocked at his brazenness.

“I’ll be getting some of that later,” he growled, then winked, and Anna huffed as she walked away.

Before she could get inside, Wyatt snaked an arm out and grabbed her around the waist to pull her to him.

“No hello for me, darling?” he whispered, then lightly caressed her swollen lips with his thumb.

Anna smiled at him before she hugged him.

He loved how she felt in his arms and against his chest. His nostrils filled with her scent and his groin ached to be inside of her.

When she pulled back, she smiled softly before standing on her tiptoes to kiss him. Wyatt moaned against her mouth as he gave her backside a squeeze and felt her up real quick before she pulled away. Anna swatted at his hand and straightened her skirt before she pulled completely away.

“Will you two stop it? Someone is going to see,” she stated.

“Too late, honey.”

Anna looked to the screen door of the house and saw Max standing there with a big smile on his face.

Anna shook her head and growled before opening the door and heading inside.

Wyatt laughed.
