“You want me to tongue-fuck you, Ray? Want to feel my slick tongue on your clit?” He whisper-growled in my ear. “Slide my tongue on your slippery folds, tongue-fuck you, suck on your clit…make you come in my mouth?”

I was trembling by that point and could barely see straight. “I want to feel you so bad.”

“Aww, you do?” His nose traced over my jaw and ear before his mouth sealed over the lobe, sucking, and licking, sending another hot wave of fire through my system. Lost in a daze of bliss, I was just a whisper away from coming like a nuclear explosion with this big, gorgeous man who had me under control.

His touch was working me into the stratosphere.

“Come for me, like a good girl.”

The wickedness of his touch and husky command threw me over the edge into bliss. I threw my head back and cried out with pleasure coursing through my veins, but his constant caresses kept me soaring. Each time I thought it was over, he unleashed another gust of pleasure that kept me floating.

His hands moved from my pussy to hold my sides while his nose ran over my cheek. “You’re stunning when you come.”

John's arms slid around me when my forehead dropped to his shoulder. This wasn’t my life, was it? I was sure he was dreaming, walking on water somehow. I knew I would step off the dock and plummet to the water—who knew how deep it was—but as soon as he grazed my lips with his, I abandoned all worry.

His kiss was tender, closed mouth, and when the kiss ended without wild tongue-tangling, I felt a new warmth.

“Have you ever danced under a moonless night?” he asked, and I burrowed closer to his heat, though I was far from cold.

“No,” I replied, “I haven’t had a lot of romantic moments lately.”

“Hm,” John turned us around, and we swayed, my arms wrapped around his neck while his hold tightened on my hips. “How do you find this one?”

“Quite…magical,” I replied, smiling.

His smile was warm. “You’re not alone, you know. About your feelings. I love you, too, something I never thought I’d feel again after Emily passed.”

Something stopped in my chest, possibly my heart. He had not said he wasin lovewith me, but love still meant something. I kissed his cheek. “How did that thing with West go?”

“The news people won't show the truth, and he’s suddenlyoverseas,” John’s face twisted in disgust. “But he’ll get a nasty surprise when my lawyer gets to him.”

“He ran away?”

“Like a dog with his mangy tail between his legs, but we’ll get him eventually,” John replied, pulling away to pluck his vibrating phone out of his pocket. “Ben…what? Who do you say is at my ranch?”

The air had suddenly changed, and a cold, foreboding chill shimmered over my skin. Something was wrong. I just didn’t know what yet. Anger and frustration rippled off him in tangible pulses.

“What?” John roared. “I’m coming right now.”

A tremble ran through me, making my skin flush with goosebumps, but not the good kind. I knew I shouldn’t leave with him, but I knew enough people were in the auditorium to look over the girls. “What happened?”

He peeled the phone from his ear. His lips curled in a snarl. “Health inspectors and people from the Animal Health Commission have stormed my ranch using atipfrom a secret informer about unethical practices and illegal drugs. They’ve condemned my ranch closedindefinitely.”

ChapterTwenty-Five

John

Iwas living a nightmare.

Everything was coming out of the woodwork now; the people from the government agency were crawling over my ranch like fire ants, looking for a dead body to drag away, even though they had not found a shred of evidence their mysterious tipper had told them about. Even worse, word had gotten out to the press, and they had resurfaced that damned clip about me fighting West.

“The stocks are falling like flies,” Ewan mourned over the phone. “A few are still holding stalwart, but if we keep getting deserted because of these lies, it will hit us hard.”

The headache I had, thrumming in the back of my head, bloomed into a full migraine and set my temples on fire. “So, we’re losing customers and investors.”

“Sadly, sir,” Ewan said, “Yes.”

I rubbed my stinging eyes, “Please call me back when you’ve got better news. I have a lawyer to call."
