CHAPTERFIVE

Emily

I've never hadbutterflies before, but when Cole's arms wrap around me, caging me in bands of hard, corded muscle, it feels like a thousand tiny wings have taken flight right behind my belly button.

We’re sitting so close that I can feel the heat from his chest emanating through my clothes and seeping into my back. I sit up straight, so I’m not leaning against him like a desperate hussy.

Cole’s voice is a deep rumble in my ear as he shows me how to hold the reins and turn the horse. “Here, you try.”

His hands drop from the reins, leaving me in charge of the horse.I don't know what I do, and the horse takes off. It's so sudden that I slam against the hard wall of Cole’s chest.

“Whoa!” He’s quick to grab the reins and soothe the horse, stroking her neck calmly.

My heart is about to beat out of my chest. The way the horse shot off and the burning brick wall of Cole’s chest behind me have me flustered. I might be a virgin, but something suspiciously large is pressing against my ass through our jeans.

“I'm sorry.” I lean forward and try to wiggle away.

Cole wraps an arm around my waist and holds me still. “Stop wiggling, woman,” he breathes harshly.

I freeze, my face coloring as I realize what's going on. My God, I made him hard. Cole’s ragged breaths are fanning over my hair, and a rush of feminine power crashes through me at the knowledge that I'm the one who has him so worked up.

My breath becomes shallow, and my clit throbs. The overwhelming sensation of Cole’s nearness mixed with my newly instilled fear after the horse’s flight makes me dizzy.

“I think I'm ready to get off,” I tell Cole breathlessly.

“Fuck, me too,” he growls.

My cheeks flame when I realize we mean those words in entirely different ways. “The horse, Cole. I’m ready to get off the horse.”

He swings his leg off the horse in one fluid motion and then grabs me by the waist and lifts me from the saddle. My body slides against his as he lowers me to the ground, and I can feel every sculpted ridge of muscle before he plants me on my feet.

His hazel eyes burn into mine beneath the brim of his black cowboy hat. I tremble, and his nostrils flare like a bull preparing to charge.

“Fuck, darlin’,” he growls, wrapping his hand around the nape of my neck and crushing his lips to mine. He pulls my body flush against him as he devours my mouth like a starving man.

He thrusts his hips against me, and the raging column of his flesh presses into my stomach through his jeans. I whimper at how big he feels. I'm not a total innocent. I've read plenty of romance novels and even watched a bit of porn just to satiate my curiosity, so I know Cole is hung like a horse. I also know that what he's packing between his legs will destroy a virgin pussy like mine. That should scare me, so why do I feel an answering throb between my legs?

“You taste sweeter than apple pie, Emily,” he murmurs before taking my mouth in another deep kiss.

Holy moly, I've been kissed before, but never like this. This man kisses me like it's the end of the world, and I'm the only thing that will save him.

“You know I haven't been able to stop thinking about you from the moment I first saw you,” he breathes as he trails kisses along my jaw and down my throat.

The admission throws me because I haven't been able to stop thinking about him either.“I was so rude to you.”

He chuckles. “You were so pretty when you were ripping me a new asshole. You looked like a little hellcat with your eyes flashing fire and your claws out. No woman has ever spoken to me that way before.”

I don't imagine they have. They were probably too busy falling over themselves, trying to get in line for some of these kisses.

Cole slides his hands over my shoulders and tugs my tank top down to reveal my breasts. A shudder goes through him as he looks down at them lustfully. My nipples are painfully hard, and my breath comes in short pants as I wait for him to take one into his mouth. I’ve never felt a man’s mouth on my nipples before, but my hardened pebbles are aching for the touch of his mouth and tongue.

He stands there staring down at them with a glazed look in his eye.

“Cole?” I ask uncertainly. “Are you okay?”

“No,” he grits out. “I'm trying my best not to jizz in my pants just looking at these perfect little titties.”

The cords of his neck are taut, and his head rolls back when I wiggle in his arms.He groans and tightens his arm around me to hold me still. “You’re enough to make a man embarrass himself, Emily.”
