Lucas looked for a good long time.
Addy knew she wasn’t a cover model, but she had a nice body thanks to daily runs and yoga. She’d shaved her legs and bikini area, rubbed her best soft shea butter all over her body and dusted herself with some glowing powder her sister had given her for Christmas last year.
“I knew you were beautiful,” he said, reaching out to stroke the curve of her waist. “The first moment I saw you, you reminded me of a mountain lake, cool on the surface, reflecting the world around you, but beneath all that, oh Addy girl, you are a wonder.”
Addy wrapped her arms around herself. “Are we going upstairs? Did you lock the front door?”
Lucas removed his cowboy hat, setting it on her head and swept her into his arms. “Door is locked. Dead bolt engaged. If Flora comes back, she better have a tank to get through that door.”
“She has a key.” Addy wrapped her arms around his neck, loving the feeling of his naked skin against hers, as Lucas climbed the stairs. He nuzzled her neck, even once managing to almost reach her breast, as he climbed.
“Which room?” he asked.
She pointed to the open doorway.
She’d lit candles and a soft musky fragrance greeted them as she entered. The shades had been pulled to create intimacy because Addy had been ready for Lucas.
She’d been beyond ready for him.
Kicking the door shut and locking it, he laid her on the bed with reverent tenderness then lowered himself, tipping the cowboy hat back before settling in for a kiss.
“Mmm,” he breathed, against her lips. “You taste like sunshine. Like clean open spaces. Like a woman should taste.”
His words moved in her soul, a liquid balm soothing any reservations she’d harbored about being with him. This man made her body hum and her heart feel suspiciously full.
Addy pulled him to her, feeling the cowboy hat fall from her head, as she hungrily kissed him.
His chest slid against hers, brushing against her sensitive flesh. Hot desire uncurled inside her… and Addy felt the wildness unfurl, felt the part of her that reveled in the naughty sexy books take over. It had been a while since she’d allowed herself such pleasure.
Pushing against his shoulders, she rolled him over, taking control of the kiss. Lucas fell back like a good boy and allowed her to take the wheel.
Addy slid her hands into his hair, relishing the scruff of his whiskers against her chin.
He broke the kiss. “Addy?”
She caught her breath. She’d seriously been on the edge of losing total control. “What?”
“Are you okay? I mean, you were attacked long ago, nearly raped. I don’t want to do anything wrong.” His finger brushed her scars and in his eyes she saw such tenderness.
A ribbon of warmth curled around her heart. He was worried about her, about scaring her, or making a wrong move. “You haven’t done anything wrong. I’m good.”
“You sure? Because I took off my clothes before I really thought about it. That might have been too presumptuous.”
“And, uh, I took off mine, too. That’s called a confirmation that I want you.”
He smiled. “I guess it’s obvious I want you, too.”
She looked down. “Why, yes, it is.”
Lucas opened his mouth to say something, but she didn’t give him the chance. Instead she pressed her lips to his, kissing him so thoroughly they both became breathless.
“Now, you be quiet and let Addy have some fun,” she said, sliding a hand down his chest, tracing around one flat nipple before trailing over to the other.
Lucas cupped her cheek. “Yes, ma’am.”
“Mmm, just like the sheriff,” Addy murmured before sliding atop him.
“Ah,” he sighed, clasping her hips and fitting her to him. “Who the hell are you talking about?”
