The jeans he was wearing conformed to his hard thighs and emphasized the mouthwatering bulge between them. The shirt he wore stretched across his broad chest and molded to his hard abs. If there was an ounce of fat on his body she couldn’t see it.
“Come on, sugar girl. ” His voice lowered as he moved to the table, turning on the small light hanging overhead. “You empty the bag and I’ll get the beer. ”
Beer and cheeseburgers. Kelly couldn’t remember a meal she had enjoyed more as she sat across from Rowdy and talked. They argued. They always argued. Over the weather signs, the best fishing holes, and life in general.
“I think you disagree with me just to have something to do,” Rowdy finally laughed as she tossed a French fry at his head.
“Probably. I’d hate for you to confuse me with all those women who swoon at your feet and beg for your attention,” she pointed out before finishing her beer and setting the bottle aside. “You’re spoiled, Rowdy. ”
“I wish I was spoiled. ” He sat back in his chair and looked at her. He just looked at her, his gaze intent now rather than teasing or flirting. “I remember the day I realized you were turning into a woman,” he finally said softly, his voice deepening. “You were going out with that little prick Charlie Dayne. Your skirt was too short, your legs too tanned and you wearing the necklace I had bought you that Christmas. That damned little heart was laying right on the upper curve of your breast because that shirt was cut too low. ”
“You tried to get Mom to make me change clothes. ” She remembered. She remembered seeing his eyes that day, seeing the wild fire in them that nearly stole her breath.
“You were sixteen fucking years old,” he whispered. “And all I could think about”—he shook his head—“I should have been shot for what I was thinking, Kelly. ”
“I thought about you then too. ” She was mesmerized by the fire in his eyes now. “I only went out with Charlie because I knew you didn’t like him. ”
His eyes narrowed. “Donnie Winters?”
She leaned forward with a little snicker. “He liked you more than he liked me. He thought you were hot, Rowdy. ”
He blinked back at her before realization dawned in his eyes. “You little minx. ” He shuddered.
“I had six months of free hand washes for my car at his parents’ car detailing shop simply because he got to see you without your shirt on. ” She laughed, moving cautiously from the table as he leaned forward in his chair, obviously remembering the fact that he had been outside working on his car that day. Shirtless. And the date had been unexpected, a spur of the moment decision Kelly had made.
“You sold my body for a few car washes?” He asked slowly.
Kelly giggled. “A few? Hey stud, one a week for six months. I told you, you were hot. ”
“I’m going to paddle your ass. ” He came out of his chair, watching carefully as she backed away from him, trying not to laugh at the outrage in his expression.
“He went on all evening about the sweat dripping down your chest, Rowdy,” she snickered. “I think he was more impressed than I was. ” She shrieked as he bounded over the table, turned, and tried to run.
There was no place to run, and controlling her laughter enough to actually fend him off was impossible, especially once his fingers found the ultrasensitive ticklish areas in her sides and sent her to the floor as she fought his attacking fingers.
“Oh, God. Don’t you tickle me,” she cried breathlessly, rolling, bucking against him as he came over her, his teeth bared in a laughing growl as he caught her hands, stretching them over her head, and stared her down with mocking retribution.
“You’ll pay for that, Kelly,” he promised wickedly.
“What are you going to do, stud?” She blew him an air kiss before collapsing in giggles again as he tickled down her side.
“I surrender,” she laughed breathlessly, twisting beneath him, desperate to escape the fingers. “I promise. I promise. I surrender. ”
His fingers stilled, but he didn’t move. Her eyes opened, the laughter dying on her lips at the hunger in his face. He was doing nothing to hide it now, nothing to dilute it. And it stole her breath.
“Rowdy,” she whispered his name, her heart suddenly slamming against her ribs as his gaze dropped to the buttons of her blouse.
“You were sixteen years old,” he whispered. “And all I could think about was doing this. ”
His head lowered, his lips pressing to the upper swell of one breast as his tongue licked over it. Velvet flames rasped over her flesh as a shock of sensation slammed into her womb.
“And this. ” His head lifted. “Open your lips for me baby, let me show you why I had to run has hard and as fast as I could run. ”
He kept hold of her arms, keeping them stretched above her head, helpless beneath him, restrained as his lips lowered and stole her breath.
Heat flamed through her, ripping across nerve endings and destroying any sense of control as his lips slanted across hers in a kiss guaranteed to wipe every thought from her mind except for thoughts of him.
Kelly arched to him, a broken moan leaving her lips as his tongue laved the lower curve, slipped in to tease hers then retreated as he bestowed a series of deep, short kisses that had her begging for more.
