Eagerness made my hand tremble. I twisted my wrist for better access and slid my middle finger between her folds. The tip of my finger brushed her entrance. “Tell me I can touch you,” I begged.
“Yes,” she breathed.
I pushed one finger inside. Fuck, I had never felt anything like this. Soft, wet heat. The clench of her pussy around my finger. My dick twitched with jealousy.
She started to moan and then bit it back, her teeth strumming her bottom lip. Goddammit, I would make her pay for that. Someday she would scream my name and beg for me. I just needed to learn how to make that happen. I pumped my finger in and out and then dragged it upward, spreading moisture everywhere. Her breath hitched.There.
“Right here?” I tapped gently. She pressed her lips together, and I grinned. Tight little circles with the pad of my finger made her hips tilt. “You like that?”
“My last boyfriend left cash on my nightstand.” She said it like a challenge. Like she thought that would deter me. It didn’t. Not even a little bit.
“My wallet is in my back pocket. Take what you want.” I curled my finger inside her and this time she couldn’t hold back her moan. I laughed darkly. “You don’t want my money, Lennon. You want me. And that terrifies you.”
She growled. “It should terrifyyou.”
“It doesn’t.” I pressed the heel of my palm against her clit as my finger pumped in and out of her. She arched into me. “Stop fighting me and show me how to make you come.”
She huffed, and for a moment I thought she would say something else snarky. But then she relented. “Like that, but…more.”
I wasn’t sure a second finger could fit, but it did. My thrusts turned short and deep as I focused more attentionon my thumb circling her clit. I was rewarded with her pussy walls squeezing around me. Her breathing turned erratic.
“Like this?” I rasped.
She didn’t answer—not in words. She cried out as she shattered around me, slamming her back against the wall and pushing her pussy into my hand, her hands digging into my shoulders for balance.
I held her tightly as the last quakes subsided, then gently eased my fingers from her body. She had soaked my hand with her orgasm. I lifted my fingers to my lips, inhaled the scent of her arousal, and sucked them clean. The taste of her only made me thirstier.
I kissed her, knowing she could taste herself on my tongue. “Are we on the same page now?”
She made an incoherent sound that I took for agreement.
“Good.” I tugged her against me and kissed her again. “Let’s go get cleaned up before dinner.”
I stooped to get the saddle pad. Her bag was next to it, the corner of a postcard sticking out. My heart jumped into my throat as I slid it out and straightened. I flipped it over and found the telltale purple message on the back. Fuck.
“Lennon.” I struggled to keep the anger out of my voice. “What the hell is this?”

LENNON
Amos blocked the doorway,his beefy arms crossed over his broad chest, his face impassive.
“Come on, Amos, don’t you think you’re taking this too far?” I wheedled. “We’re supposed to be doing a gymkhana out by the stables. Jeremiah is probably over there now.”
“Jeremiah told me to keep you here until he came and got you himself.” He eyed me suspiciously. “What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into, city girl? You steal somethin’?”
“Do I really look like a thief to you?” I demanded.
“What’s that?” Amos placed one hand behind his ear and cocked his head like he was listening to someone. “The ancestors say yes.”
I pointed at him. “Rude, but fair.”
I sighed. I didn’t want to stay in the kitchen all day.Where was he?
After Jeremiah had found the most recent postcard in my bag and I had confessed to going to my cabin alone, he’d practically put me on house arrest. It had been less than twenty-four hours of this nonsense, and I was ready to find my stalker and turn myself in.
Maybe I’d be less cranky about it if his overprotectiveness extended to our sleeping arrangements, but noooo. The three locks on the door that separated his living quarters from the rest of the lodge were good enough. I had slept alone in Hannah’s room last night.
