Chapter Fourteen
Hours later, Luke dropped to the bed and rolled to his back. “Good Lord, woman, you’re insatiable!”
Lucy flipped over on her stomach, bent her knees, and crossed her ankles. “Good?” she asked, raking her nails over his belly.
“The best,” he promised, kissing the tip of her nose.
“Do you love me?” she asked, wondering why they never tossed out the four-letter word like they used to when they were kids.
He grinned. “I never stopped.”
“How come you never tell me?”
“Well for starters, you just got back in town. You could give a man a fair chance to tell you on his own, ya know?”
“Okay,” she said, clasping her hands under her chin and resting against his belly.
“Okay what?” he asked, grinning.
“So tell me.”
Luke clasped her forearms and moved her aside. He left the bed and walked over to the window and looked down at the lawn below.
She admired his physique from afar and couldn’t help but think about the Shetland pony references. Who was she kidding? Even back then, Luke McDavid had most men beat. Shetland pony’s ass. He was like a well-hung stud waiting to breed.
Her nipples throbbed with the thought. Luke hadn’t taken his time with her. He’d acted like he was in a hurry, as if he had somewhere he needed to be three weeks ago on a Friday.
Lucy understood why. There was a flicker of longing in his tortured eyes as he’d taken her, fucked her, loved her.
They couldn’t get enough of one another because this was real. This was what had been missing in Lucy’s life, and she didn’t have to ask if he’d felt the void, too. She just knew.
Lucy sat, crossing her legs Indian style. “I won’t bite.”
“No, but you’ll push and shove until I say what you wanna hear.”
“No I won’t. Either you love me or you don’t. We’ve known one another since we were kids. We’ve missed one another like crazy. At least, I know I’ve missed you.
“Believe me, I didn’t just come back into town thinking I was going to hook one or both McDavids. It wasn’t an easy thing for me to start thinking about riding two cowboys again. Whether you realize it or not, you guys are hard on a woman’s body.”
He chuckled.
“But I took the plunge.”
“Now that you have, you’re all in, right?”
“Of course.”
“I’m in, too, Lucy.”
“No you aren’t,” she said somberly. “You have doubts. Maybe you should. But talk to me. Tell me what’s on your mind.”
Luke squinted his eyes and stared at the space between her legs. “Do you just wanna get laid again or are you unaware of the kind of view I have right now?”
She snickered. “Watch it, cowboy. I’m always better the second time around.”
“You don’t say.”
“Really,” she assured him. “If you’re gonna ride, you gotta get in the saddle or step completely away from the horse.”
