I steadfastly looked out of the window on the short drive, determined not to be distracted by howfuckingsexy he was.
When he opened the passenger side door for me, and walked me up to the house after a long, heated kiss, it was really all I could do not to drag him inside and peel off his clothes item by item.
“Rick.”
He gazed down at me with eyes darkened with want, and I looked away to stay on track.“I’d like some time with you.Soon.I want to be upfront with you about my ex, and about why I broke it off with him.”
“Okay,” he agreed, kissing the corner of my mouth.“When you’re ready to talk, Maddie, I’m here to listen.”
After he drove away, saying something about an extra errand, I flopped down on the bed to try to cool off, but ended up with my hand between my legs, his name on my lips as I climaxed.
ChapterSeventeen
Rick
Rick should have gone inside his house after dropping Maddie off, but he didn’t.
Instead, he drove out of town, kept right at the fork in the road, driving away from Two Rivers Ranch and towards the lake.He drove past the popular spots, near where he and Maddie had sat together— had that only beenyesterday?—and further up the rough logger road, the gravel surrounded by trees.
He parked his truck in a layby and shut the engine off, then smacked the back of his head against the seat.
What was he doing?
She hadn’t made any insinuation about living here.Fuck, he was crazy about her.
Hell of a thing that the first woman to make him feel like this was fresh out of what seemed like a horrible break-up, and a resident of a country an entire ocean and a handful of time zones away.
She’d been on his mind constantly since they’d met.She haunted dreams that made him wake up with hard-ons.Just thinking about her now tented his jeans.He eyed his dick, sighing.
If she’d invited him into Jess’ house, he wouldn’t have been able to keep his hands off of her.
He’d been half-hard leading her to the bleachers to make out, and damned if that little session hadn’t made every nerve in his body stand to attention.Thinking about taking her shopping for a formal dress to wearas his datedidn’t help him calm down.
The sun was setting.Pinks and reds bathed the rear window of the cab of his truck.Maddie would look sensational in this light, the colors kissing her pale gold skin and catching on the tiny flecks of lion’s mane gold in her brown eyes.
Opportunities to meet women since he’d moved back here a year ago had been few and far between, what with taking on his dad’s business, emotionally supporting his mother, and moving his sister into this house and worrying about her.
Maddie was the first person he’d met, for a long time, who made every fiber of his being sit up and beg.
He wanted her in every way.
Letting his eyes close, he pictured Maddie as she’d been in their make-out session, rosy-cheeked with excitement, her breath coming out staccato.She’d been just as affected as he was.What would her mouth feel like on other parts of his body?
Giving in, Rick unsnapped his jeans and tugged out his cock.“You’re gonna get me in a lot of trouble, you know?”
And then he sighed and wrapped his hand around himself, picturing Maddie’s small, slim digits.The look on her face as she’d work him over.The press of her breasts against his chest.She’d taste of whatever sweet creation she’d been baking, and he’d take his time finding out how she tasted everywhere else, too.Her nipples.What would they be like?Rosy or dark?Large or small?Both options would please him.And what sound would she make when she came?Would her back bow?Would she groan his name?
With a groan of his own, Rick thrust up into his hand, wishing Maddie was here with him, wishing it was her lips or tongue wrapped around his dick.Longing to feel the silky fall of her hair skim along his bare stomach, lower, lower.
Would she look up at him as her clever mouth worked?Trail her hands over him, greedily, or kneel at his feet with her eyes closed, lashes thick and dark against her cheeks?
He wanted either.Both.
Settling into the rhythm he liked and had perfected —a man gotreallygood at jacking off in the Army with close to no women around—he felt the first tingle of an orgasm build low in his belly.
He just wantedMaddie,period.Whatever way he could have her.
Man, he was toast.Falling for someone who lived half a world away.
