Page 22 of His Texas Claim

“You keep sayin’ that, gonna think you like it."

"Maybe I do."

He pulled back just far enough to drag my shirt over my head, tossing it somewhere near the fire. Cool air hit my skin for half a second before his mouth replaced it, closing over one breast while his hand kneaded the other.

I fisted a hand in his hair. He groaned against me, low, and I felt it more than heard it.

"Off," I said. "Boxers. Now."

He sat back on his heels and shoved them down without arguing. Firelight caught every line of him. I forgot what I'd been about to say.

"Somethin' to say?"

"Give me a minute."

"Don't have a minute." He came back over me, forearm braced by my head, other hand hooking into my shorts. "These too. Off."

I lifted my hips. He pulled them down and off in one motion and knelt back to look at me, nothing left between us but firelight.

"Look at you," he said. "Been waitin' all day to get you like this."

"You have not."

“Have too. Since you knocked me over in the damn creek.” His hand slid down my stomach, fingers finding me slick. “Damn, baby…already wet for me, huh?”

“Well, I was in the creek.”

He shook his head, chuckling. “You tryin’ to test my patience?”

“I don’t want you patient.” I rocked my hips up toward him. “Faster.”

“Ask nice.”

“Stetson.”

"That's not askin' nice."

I glared at him, even as I started to lose myself in the rhythm of his fingers thrusting into me. "Please."

"There it is." He gave me what I wanted, fingers curling, thumb finding a rhythm against my clit. "Gonna make you say my name a few more times before I'm done with you. Want you screamin’ it when I’m pounding that pretty pussy.”

“Oh my god⁠—”

“Damn right. Come on, baby.”

I came apart around his hand, his name breaking out of me before I could stop it, the frogs still singing like nothing had changed.

He didn't stop.

"Again," he said.

"Stetson—"

"Said again."

"I can't⁠—"

"You can." He kept his fingers moving, slow now, drawing it back out of me before I'd fully come down from the first one. "One more."
