Share Us
“In-intimate relations?” She stumbled over the words.
“Yeah, like you and me sharing a bed, having sex, not worrying if my mom or my dad or my brothers know about us.”
“But…What? You want to marry me just so you can have sex with me?”
“That’s not the only reason why I’m marrying you. I just gave you the reasons. It will be a mutually beneficial arrangement.”
“I can’t marry you to stop your mom trying to set you up with someone, and I can’t marry you just so I have somewhere to stay. I have to take care of Eloise myself.”
“I know you want a father figure for Eloise.”
“I never said that,” she said.
“You didn’t have to say it. You came here looking for her father. You came here thinking Beau was her dad.”
“Yeah, but he’s not.”
“I can be that father figure in her life. I really like her. I think I’d be a good father,” I said.
“You can’t do this. It just…”
“I think it makes a lot of sense.” I pulled her towards me and wrapped my arms around her waist. I pushed my erection against her, and she swallowed hard as she felt me. “I want you, Arya, and I know you want me too. And I think this situation could work out for the best of us.”
“But I just don’t understand. Are we just going to be engaged? Are we going to get married? Are we…”
“I figure with so many engagements in the family right now, we don’t even have to actually get married. We can just be engaged for a year or two. That will give you enough time to get whatever education you want and think about what you want to do in the future, and it’ll keep my mom off my back and let me concentrate on Horseshoe Ranch and ensure that we’re successful. Because Beau and Austin, as much as I love them, their heads are not in the game right now. All they’re thinking about is how much they want to get married and start families. I’m thinking about the longevity of this ranch. I’m thinking about future generations.”
“So you’re marrying me so you have time to work?” She made a face. “Does that really make sense?”
“We’re not actually going to get married. We’ll just be engaged,” I said. “And that way, we can share the same room and we can make love, and no one will be upset.”
“What about me? Maybe I’d be upset.”
“Would you be upset?” I asked. As my hand moved up the side of her body, she stilled. I kissed again, and this time, she kissed me back softly. I felt her hands stroke my hair, and I gave her ass a light squeeze and started tugging her nightgown up.
“What are you doing?” she whispered against my lips.
“I want to touch you,” I said softly. I pulled up her nightgown off over her head. She didn’t try to stop me. She stood there in just a bra and panties, and I groaned as I really realized just how badly I wanted her.
I cupped her breasts, relishing the feel of them in my hands, before reaching towards the back and unclasping her bra. I waited for her to stop me, but she didn’t. The bra fell forward and I pulled it off, staring at her naked breasts. I leaned down and kissed one nipple. She made a soft moaning sound.
“Chet, we can’t,” she said. I growled as I looked back at her and brought her in against me hard.
“I want you, Arya. I want you any way that I can have you. And I know you want me, too. This is a great idea. I’ve thought about it.”
“How long have you been thinking about it?”
“Just this evening.”
“So that’s not really something that…”
“I know it will work. I know you’re considering it.”
“I just don’t know. I just… What about Eloise?”
“She’ll love it here with so many aunts and uncles and grandparents. And we can send her to school, and you can concentrate on getting an education and being able to do what you want to do. I really don’t see any negatives to this situation.” I kissed her, and she groaned.
“I just don’t know, Chet.”
