She sat on the bed and lay back, desire darkening her green eyes. “Show me.”
Her command brought desire surging into him. “It’s been a long time, Hannah. If we’re going to take this slow, you can’t talk to me like that this first round.”
She bit her lip, clearly trying not to laugh. “Is that right? Well, cowboy, maybe it’s been a long while for me too. Get your gorgeous behind over here and put your hands on me.”
All right, that was it. “Still bossy, I see,” he murmured as he stretched out beside her. “Good thing I know how to enjoy that smart mouth.”
“Do your worst,” she joked before shoving him onto his back and climbing on top of him.
He caressed the sides of her legs and thought he’d have a heart attack when she ripped open the snaps on her shirt, giving him a view of a fancy little pink bra trimmed with lace. “Someone’s in a hurry.”
She leaned over him and ripped open his shirt, smoothing her hands over his muscled chest. “After all this time, you’d better believe it.”
Bringing his hands to her breasts, he let their weight settle before he started caressing the undersides like she used tolike. Suddenly, he started wondering if she still liked the same things, which only made him frown.
“What’s the matter?” she asked, tracing his mouth.
“Nothing.” He pulled her closer. “I want you. Maybe more than I ever did. Woman, put that sweet mouth on mine and put me out of my misery.”
When she did exactly that, they both groaned. Pulling her flush against him where they both strained against each other, he let the kiss go deeper, knowing there was no turning back.
They’d made their commitment. Now it was time for their bodies to come together again to seal the promise.
Her mouth tasted just as sweet as heaven, and as he nipped at her bottom lip and then took her tongue into his mouth, he thought her moan was the purest medley on earth.
She finally flung back, panting, her chest rising from her shattered breathing. “I need you. Right now.”
He rolled them until they were on their sides, laughing as he tried to help her undo her jeans and then wiggle out of them. “They’re new,” she explained with another twist of her hips.
When the jeans reached her ankles, he started laughing as she tried to kick them off. Lowering to the floor, he caught her foot, peeling off first her boots and then the socks. “Easier if you take your boots off first.”
The look she shot him was pure sass. She was an aggravated, stirred-up woman ready for loving. Then he stopped her consternation by opening her legs and pressing his hand at the spot that needed him.
She threw her head back and thrust against him. “Oh God! Yes. Yes!”
All he needed to do to hear another moan spill out of her lush mouth was to set her panties to the side and increase the pressure. She came in a rush, thrusting against his hand. He helped her go higher, knowing she could, knowing she needed it.
When she was wrung out with pleasure, she fell back onto the bed, arms flung high over her head. “Oh my God! That’s the same as it ever was. What a relief.”
If he hadn’t been trying to pull his own boots and jeans off, he’d have laughed. “You were always quick off the draw in the first round. Were you worried?”
“I worried about everything, I’m sad to say,” she admitted, sitting up on her elbows. “But that’s over now. God, Ben, you look as beautiful as you ever did. Maybe even more so. You’re all man now. I like it.”
He flung his jeans off, hitting the opposite wall with his force. “You’re all woman now. More to hold on to. I likethat.”
She wiggled her hips, a beautiful sight all flushed in her little pink undies. “Gladyoudo. I had to buy new clothes and the like because I’m bigger in some places.”
“Does it look like I mind?” he asked, gesturing to his arousal.
Her sweet smile made his universe complete as she studied him. “Not one bit. Which is good for me. Are you ready to ride, cowboy?”
He held up a hand. “What are we doing for birth control? I drove to Oakins to buy condoms because I wasn’t sure?—”
“I went on birth control when I felt this was in the air.”
He tipped his head back and closed his eyes. “Excuse me a moment while I say, ‘hallelujah.’”
“Come here, and I’ll help you say it again,” she crooned.
