“…That’s good to hear,” Rayna said from behind us.

I turned to see her and Sam and realized they had just come from another outing. Sam was aware of West, so I didn’t need to try to cover my words. “And I mean it, too. Hey Sammie, did you enjoy today?”

“Uh-huh,” she replied, nodding.

“Excuse me, guys. Ben, you’re in charge, so do what you see needs to be done,” I said while leaving the room.

I knew Sam was approaching that independence age, but I hauled her into my arms anyway.

“Daddd!” she complained.

“Deal with it, kiddo. You’ve got me for a long while,” I said as we walked to the house. “From the corner of my eyes, I spotted Rayna’s sweet smile, and even with all the chaos around me, I felt some comfort. “Now, how about dinner?”

“I ate a lot of pretzels at the mall,” Sam replied. “I’m full, plus I need to finish some homework.”

“Junk food, missy?” I pretended to glare while setting her down.

She rolled her eyes. “We eat burgers here a lot. I don’t see the difference.”

“Hey, check that attitude, missy,” I called while she went up the stairs, but she turned and came to wrap her arms around my middle in a quick hug before darting off again.

I turned to Rayna. “Well, that’s surprising.”

“She’s a kid,” Rayna replied. “They’ll surprise you.”

I grunted. “Do you want a drink? I do.”

“It's…” she checked her watch. “…two in the afternoon.”

“It's five somewhere,” I replied, heading up.

Striding to my cabinet, I fixed us two glasses of scotch and handed her one. “In the newest addition to the troubles West had levied on me, my ranch has been out of production for three days, the rumors are making my investors fly away like bees from vinegar, my stocks are dropping, and we still have no leads on who killed my calves.”

Her face twisted. “That’s horrible. He seems bent on undermining you in every way he can.”

“He is,” I took a sip. “But he’s a weak, petty fool who thinks I’ll tuck my tail between my legs and run. I’m not the one raised on filet mignon and caviar with servants bowing down to me. He’s got all bark and no bite.”

Rayna set her cup aside, still half full, and came around to me as I leaned on my desk. She clutched my shirt and tugged a little. “I’m sorry.”

I sat my cup to the side. “There’s nothing for you to be sorry about…” Tilting my head to the right, I grasped her chin. “But you can give me something to not think about it…”

Sliding my hand behind her neck, I dipped my head and pressed my lips to hers. She tasted like cherry lip gloss and warm, burning whiskey on her tongue. It was like setting fire to a powder keg. Taking her mouth in a penetrating kiss, I stabbed my tongue between her lips the way I wanted my cock to hammer between her legs.

She took the rough kiss and matched it, gripping me tighter and pressing her breasts on my chest. Without warning, I grasped her hips, spun us around, and sat her on the table, breaking away quickly only to spin the lock on my door and then went back to her.

“I’m going to fuck you,” I said brashly.

Rayna smiled, dropped her head back, and gripped the table. “Please.”

Slipping between her legs, I slid my hands under her blouse and pulled it over her head, exposing those delicious tits. Finally, finally…her nipples were mine. I undid her bra, cupped her left breast, and sucked that nipple hard while my fingers traveled over her stomach's silky curve and undid her pants. I slipped my hand past her panties and found her smooth, silky pussy dripping wet for me.

“You’ve been waiting for this, haven’t you, sweetheart…” I growled, dipping one finger and then another into her tight passage.

“I meant it when I said I missed you,” she groaned, arching back, giving me better access to her tits as I sucked harder, grazing her clit with my thumb. “Allof you.”

I pulled my hands out and ripped her jeans and panties away. She looked so innocent, her brown hair splayed out on the table, lying bare, waiting for me to take her. If she felt a fraction of my lust for her, this would be a hard, rough ride.
